Yes they should. Anytime a 'supposed' news program potrays itself as news there is a given aspect that it is reporting truth. They tell so many distortions of the truth that the government should have guidelines for this kind of stuff.

Fox "News" isn't a "news" channel. It's a propaganda machine for the Republican Party, all too similar to the Nazi propaganda broadcasts of the 1930's. Fox should be required to post a disclaimer stating that their broadcasts are lies, half-truths, and fanatical opinions driven by so-called political pundits who have no sense of fairness, accuracy, completeness, or objectivity.
Just like the Rush Limbaugh "show", Fox "commentators" are nothing more screaming heads spoon-feeding political pabulum to a dumbed-down audience of ditto heads who can't think for themselves or form their own opinions.
Stir the masses into a frenzy and you can do anything: slaughter millions of Jews, or kill tens of thousands of Iraqis.
It's too bad that so many people follow such nonsense.
For those of you that think I'm a bleeding-heart liberal, I'll say this: the Democrats are just as much to blame for this political cesspool of unethical conduct. There is no difference between Democrats and Republicans today: they remain two 'separate' political parties only for the sake of appearance, and to prevent a third political party from gaining any foothold in our society.
Don't say our right to vote is the cure-all. 'Republicrats' control who will run for office, and who will win the elections - even if it means manipulating the numbers, stealing elections, or recounting ballots until they get the winner they want. They're all scumbags without conscience or integrity.

If Americans don't get off the couch, put down the remote, and demand to take back their country, our corrupt political two-party system will turn the U.S.A. INTO A TOTALITARIAN state governed by a few select dynasties like the Kennedy and Bush families. Like lobsters languishing in a pot of lukewarm water, we won't start screaming in agony over our own apathy until the pot starts boiling over. Then it will be too late.
By then the conservative-controlled media will have brainwashed us into believing that George Orwell's "1984" version of society is a just and proper way of life. We will become robots and puppets of those wealthy elitists, political monarchies, special interest groups, and corporate conglomerates who will dictate everything we do and say.
Fox News needs to be blown up, but then, so does ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC for its "follow-the-leader" journalism wherein no government press release is ever questioned, investigated, or challenged with any degree of skepticism. The media follows like lambs to the slaughter, as does an ignorant, self-absorbed public who has more interest in Britney Spears' love life or their favorite NASCAR driver than they have in the Congressmen and Presidents they allow our Satanic political parties to elect.

Yeah they should. Expecially because of that whole Lakeland Fl incadent yesterday. And considering I go to Kathleen High school I should know exactly what happened in there.

That would be nice, but it would defeat their nefarious purposes. Fortunately, spend a few minutes watching and any informed person sees it's fiction - republican-backed and backing fiction.

No, they should just say "Not biased in favor of the Democrats like CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, NY Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, etc."

ONLY IF THE REST OF THE NEWS MEDIA STATIONS WILL DO THE SAME. IT HAS TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED.

I don't think propaganda uses disclaimers.
