Prevent people from watching faux news in your house and send their top ten advertisers a message to let them know you won't be watching!

Pretty silly when you can just add a block on most cable boxes.  Still more sensible than the whole W ketchup thing a few months ago.

I like Headline News, myself. They don't have a lot of video coverage, but they have good news graphics on the bottom of the screen.

This link is stupid. In my opinion Fox news has some of the best News programs. They are almost the exact same stories on every news network, yet people just love to slander fox news.  The only network that has been proven to be biased (at least on one story) is CBS. Yet where is the "Block CBS news" Post?  if you think fox news is biased, you need to prove it by posting a credible link (not an idiotic left wing conspiracy site). 

BTW: All Of those links on that site are to extreme left wing organizations, guess they can't handle the truth.

FOX News is a guilty pleasure.  I love to hate it!
::) :P

It isn't FOX that creates right wing propaganda, FNC is just the vehicle for right wing propaganda.  Other networks are just as gung-ho for the Military-Industrial complex and the Republican party, they're just less  blunt about it.  With "liberals" such as Chris Matthews and Judy Woodruff, who needs "conservatives"?

and I'm sure as once we post a site that shows the "bias" Fox News perputates, you'll instantly cry out they're a bunch of liberal lefties?  That's not worth the effort to even look up a few links.

I still think CNN is worse than CBS.

But yeah, don't expect a good response, maybe you'll get a link to a website saying "Brit Hume is a registered republican" and that will be your "proof."  Some of the idiots of kook websites like the DU can't even tell the difference between news and opinion.

Most of what you call "news" is actually PR.  Armstrong Williams leaked that he's by far not the only one, and "it happens all the time."  Of course, he didn't name names, so he might be lying to save his sorry azz.  However, what I see in FOX News is a feverish drive to defend conservative Republicans, especially Bush.
Any network that does not display an explicitly right-wing agenda is deemed "liberally biased."
