        Glenn Beck's "America" is spelled with three K's in place of the "C".

              Actually, you said three K's in place of the C, which would equate to four K's. There's still another K in "Beck".

      Please. I'm sure if we could actually SEE evil, the Fox building in New York would look like the Ghostbusters headquarters in the movie when all the ghosts were escaping. A never ending stream of hate.

      fox news is opposition to corruption? news corp, which owns fox news, is filled with corruption, and so is fox news itself.

      actually, i think that fox has been good for the country. it has shown us just how many intellectually lazy people there are in this country. the average fox viewer, as least as far as i have seen, is incapable of forming a coherent world view on their own and needs something like fox. it's basically Sesame Street for conservatives.

      I'm finding it difficult to imagine FOX reporting the NEWS. I think it was a typo somewhere... I think it should have been FOX VIEWS.

      It's all a game to Beck. He thinks "playing opposition" gives you the right to spread propaganda and lies.

      Considering that the overwhelming majority of Americans DON'T WATCH Fox . . . I'm thinking it would probably not be that noticeable if they weren't on anymore.

        An overwhelming majority of Americans don't watch news at all but the ones that do watch Fox. I'm just saying.

          and as usual you would be wrong. while fox does have higher rateings than cnn and msnbc, the networks abc, cbs and nbc all have many more viewers than fox. so fox is just a small fish in a small pond.

              But fewer viewers than CBS, ABC, and NBC. Faux News is truly a small fish, and a dead, stinky one at that.

      I CAN imagine what America would be like if we didn't have Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and the Fox and Friends Idiots. They are not news. Why isn't there a disclaimer at the beginning of their shows that say 'the views expressed by [fake conservative loud mouth] are not necessarily the opinions of Fox News...] - That is the problem with Fox News.

      well we certainly wouldn't be lied to 24/7 365.

      billo the clown wouldn't be able to get excited by surrounding himself with blondes.

      beck would be thrown in the looney bin if not in jail, right alongh side hannity.

      no one would have ever heard of malkin or coulter.

      the world would just be that much a better place with out fixed noise.

      I'm more upset that faux has an audience . .

      Why does the faux audience love the LIES?

      How many times has Hannity stated that 'the boy' in the Jennings matter was only 15 years old?? How many times does their audience have to listen to an obvious LIE before they realize they're being INSULTED??
