I don't watch TV, but I hear that it is a great source of truth.

Truth is relative. Always. And all media outlets put their own spin or slant on what they report, either by they way they present or phrase things, or by what parts they cover and what parts they leave out. In other words, everybody is biased, in some direction and to some degree.
Some people like the spin/slant that FoxNews puts on their stories. Some people even delude themselves into thinking that any media source is capable of not being biased.
Not everyone agrees. And not everyone likes the bias that FoxNews has. Just as not everyone likes the bias the CNN has.

Fox News is very biased towards conservatives, and I would like my news to do more than just repeat the crap the white house says. Isn't it amazing that the white house press secretary used to work for Fox News, talk about on the job training:) I agree, the Daily Show is the best source, its actually more acurate half the time.

FOX news is a good source unless you want to not hear the facts and only want to hear speculation of what may or could be going on!

That is great that you do not watch television. I have found that Fox news seems to have a Republican slant on all issues. I use to watch Bill O'Reilly, but after that sexual harassment scandal, I was done. If you have an opposing opinion, he will not let you finish you statement, by cutting off every sentence that you speak. So, I don't think that it is everybody that dislikes them.

I stopped liking FOX News when their Cleveland affiliate WJW 8 lied about the people living in the house. The house that had it's garage dug up and torn up over a phony tip about a missing teenage girl's body. Gina DeJesus.

They have talk show host that defend Bush & the republican agenda, very bad for USA right now. In fact our form of government in general needs to be put out of business or ended. We americans should show the world WE do not support this Regime power structure whatever you desire to call it! Its time we become a true Democracy with majority rule & control by the legal citizen's.

There are huge amounts of evidence that Fox news alters news stories to support republicans and George Bush. Their reporters (not opinion people) use Bush Administration lingo and spin to describe events that other news stations report with more neutral language. Their managers and editors censor and edit news feeds to be more pro-republican. This is extremely well documented check out www.mediamatters.org. Decide for yourself, the facts and video clips are there for the taking.

The news portion is not bad...Shep Smith in particular is pretty good. However, it's the jerks who follow him that raise my blood pressure....O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. Those !%##@# think they are putting out news. They're pundits, period. Opinions, not news.
When the most recent problems were going on in Israel and Lebanon, I watched both Fox and CNN. Huge difference in the way that situation was presented on those two networks.

Because they "slant" their news to the Replublicans/Whitehouse and don't report a "neutral news" like it used to be. It used to be when the news was reported, it was neutral and didn't favor any side, now, you never know who your watching until you get a few stories down and then see which "side" their on or if they are indeed "neutral." However, Fox is indeed the worst offender. It in no way hides its bias.
Just tell me the news, let me make my OWN OPINIONS.

are you serious? As for a great source of truth...it depends on what "truth" you are searching for.
