answerman, great answer .. dont argue. But what else would you want others to know as to why FOX isnt a good source of news and government.
Im asking both sides here, and want to see who holds the best arguments

there are supposedly memos sent to workers at Fox News that basically tell them how to slant the news to the right... like key things to focus on...
not reporting the news... but only focusing on the parts of the news they want too... and even sometimes apparently making it up...
like, from what I understand... they didn't check out the Obama madrassa story, and ran a correction for it... they didn't have an actual source when they said that "muslims were celebrating in the street" after the dems won the elections... they just said "according to sources"... and from what I understand, never even had one...
and it goes on and on like this... and when it's not news... it's the right wing pundits... with only like 2 liberals (and they often even lean to the right)... and I've never seen the liberals on there actually make a cohesive statement... while I've seen liberals on many other channels make many cohesive statements...

Everybody saying that Bill Oreilly gives his side yes he does and he appears to be conservative true. But he does get both sides on to discuss issues and he is not an anchor he is a news analyst which its his job to give his opinion. I have seen him go after Conservatives at times to. Hannity is as conservative as they get but he is also a news analyst and on the same show he is on you have Alan Colmes who is a democrat there you go both sides of the argument.

Ok, O'Reilly said the kidnapped little boy liked being kidnapped.
O'Reilly also said anyone saying Keith Olbermanns name on
his show would get arrested by the Fox police, because
"they have their phone numbers".
Fox - I forget who was on, called Obama, Osama.
Hannity - anything any one says, he will take their sentence
& make it sound totally another way & has no problem doing it
right in front of them.
Rush Limbaugh - a drug addict who hates drug dealers.
The last reason - their 1/2 comedy show is pathetic.

I quit watching Fox when I found out they were threatened to stop telling the truth...or else they would live to regret it. They buckled under pressure. I also stopped watching it because they are terrible about asking a question...then interrupting the person trying to answer it(mainly when they disagree with the guest)! That is one thing that drives me nuts...in everyday life as well.
And poor dumb O'Liely...what can I say. He thinks he knows so much...but all he does is manage to show is ignorance.

Cause they are doing nothing more than promoting the Current Presidents agenda, and will not look at the other side of things, therefore they can not tell the truth.

Fox made up sites about WMD during the invasions. Turns out these sites didn't even exist. There have also been stories about people who used to work there that say there is a bias.

They are too numerous to mention. Fortunately, News Hounds at http://www.newshounds.us/ keeps a daily accounting of FOX buffoonery.

Fox news not only obviously supports the neocon agenda, but they make inflammatory statements/judgments that are not news but lies and opinions. Legitimate news tells the facts, does not give give opinions.
