Dont know how you got the idea that Fox news goal is getting to the truth! The only grasp they have is the people buy into that notion! Suggestion: Watch MSNBC or CNN where you will get differerent points of view! I watch all 3 of them!

Fox News is very good at getting the story right. Mostly because they aren't allowing personal pregidious and opinions to blind their reporting. Most other news outlets report their "news" with a strong anti-America bias. I think people see CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. all reporting with the same bias and it apears to them that they must be right because they all agree. Unfortunately, they are not right and they are not friendly to Freedom values. They are 90% extremists who if asked would say their main objective is to change the world not to report the truth.
Fox News is number 1 in ratings and in reporting the truth. I think more and more people are seeing this every day.

No. In fact, their own internal memos reveal that their actual motivation is to advance an overtly right wing, corporatist agenda. A channel that was the true friend of working Americans would advocate raising the minimum, raising taxes on the rich, ending job outsourcing, and ending this costly, dangerous war in Iraq.
Just please, take a look at a film like "Outfoxed" and just see what these guys are up to.

Are you serious? Fox news is nothing but a propaganda and misinformation source for right wing ideologs. Rodger Ailes is someone Joseph Goebbels would be proud of. I ask myself why people would watch Fox News and the complete news fabrications they spew. I have come to conclude that either people know its BS and don't care or people who watch FN are just stupid. I think it’s the latter. The proof is in the pudding:
"The extent of Americans’ misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news. Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions. Those who receive most of their news from NPR or PBS are less likely to have misperceptions. These variations cannot simply be explained as a result of differences in the demographic characteristics of each audience, because these variations can also be found when comparing the demographic subgroups of each audience.”
Almost shocking was the extent to which Fox News viewers were mistaken. Those who relied on the conservative network for news, PIPA reported, were “three times more likely than the next nearest network to hold all three misperceptions. In the audience for NPR/PBS, however, there was an overwhelming majority who did not have any of the three misperceptions, and hardly any had all three.”
Looking at the misperceptions one at a time, people were asked, for example, if the U.S. had discovered the alleged stockpiles of WMD in Iraq since the war began. Just 11% of those who relied on newspapers as their “primary news source” incorrectly believed that U.S. forces had made such a discovery. Only slightly more — 17% — of those who relied on NPR and PBS were wrong. Yet 33% of Fox News viewers were wrong, far ahead of those who relied on any other outlet.
Likewise, when people were asked if the U.S. had “clear evidence” that Saddam Hussein was “working closely with al Queda,” similar results were found. Only 16% of NPR and PBS listeners/viewers believed that the U.S. has such evidence, while 67% of Fox News viewers were under that mistaken impression.
Overall, 80 percent of those who relied on Fox News as their primary news source believed at least one of the three misperceptions. Viewers/listeners/readers of other news outlets didn’t even come close to this total."

Heh, heh, heh... Fox News, reality? The nework that reported Mark Foley was a Democrat from Florida for an entire day because they didn't want to admit a Republican had sent those emails? You're serious aren't you? My God! That is really frightening.

No I don't - Fox is the worst excuse for a news channel I ever seen.

#1 - ALL News is bias in order to please the editors, to please the advertisers. Don't believe for a moment that ANY News organization is being benevolent in getting the truth out. Just ain't so.
#2 - CBS has long had a liberal leaning, likewise PBS. Fox news and it's owner (Mr Murdock) are quite conservative (check to see how and where Mr Murdock puts his campaign contributions.)

Fox news is owned by an Australian who continues to push his agenda on gullible Americans.

Are you kidding? FOX news is merely the conservative version of The Daily Show.

Dems don't care about working Americans. They have their own agenda. Just wait and see. With this new congress our taxes are going to go through the roof and gas prices will be back up to $3.50 a gallon by summer. Boy, are we all in for a ride with Pelosi at the wheel!
