No, Fox News is an intelligent news source. It is the best out there. The commentators are perfect. I love them. People need to listen to how articulant the people on there are and maybe they'd learn something.

The job of a reporter is to keep the audience tuned in. Personalities that raise ire and stir content are good for that business. There was a line that seperated advertiseing and content. That line blurred into oblivion many years ago and is now the nonexistant fact that 55% of the 'viewers' will remain affixed to.
Howard Beale said it best:
Program Director: Take 2, cue Howard.
Beale: I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!
We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."
Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.
I want you to get mad!
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.
All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!"
So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,
"I'm as mad as hell,
and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"

Joseph Goebbels would have been envious of Fox. For that matter, he would have been envious of the entire structure of U.S. media which appears to diverse on the surface, yet is anything but upon further analysis.

NO, but it is true you lack tolerence to post this question.
If you do not like Fox News, don't watch it.
