If FOX News is so inconsequential, why does the left feel the need to attack it on a daily basis?

Question

There are probably as more attack posts regarding Fox News, as there are for George Bush!

Answer 1

liberals had the news and the media all to themselves since the late 60's. all news slanted to the left until fox news began and when it did, it sucked viewers away from CNN like a vacuum cleaner and liberals panicked.

and, as always, when liberal's ideals and viewpoints are challenged, they try to shout down and villify the speaker.

liberals are scared to death of the american public waking up to the fact that they have been manipulated and lied to for forty years and that liberalism will collapse like the house of cards it is.

they attack it on a daily basis in hopes that the american public won't take it seriously and will stop watching it.

Answer 2

I'm not saying fox News isn't a little biased towards the conservative sides of things, but there are shows on there that DO have both sides to the arugment coughhackHannityandColmescoughhack

And that's a lot better than I can say for CNN or MSNBC.

The fact is that since Air America is doing SOOOO GRREEEAATTT (note the sarcasm), liberal will stop at nothing to get nothing to get the conservatives off the air.

Answer 3

Tell you why.
Fox News preys on the paranoid and ignorant. They are possibly the single most important reason that there is such a polarisation in American politics.
They find ways to justify everything the Administration does, in spite of the will of the American electorate.
But, what do you expect from a news channel that idolises Ann Coulter?

Answer 4

That is a great question. I find it curious that FOX news is the target of so many attacks. In retrospect, it is a good thing because it means that some people fear the news from FOX.

Answer 5

Liberals? Whimps? Unlikely.

It's it shame that ultra conservitive douchebags have to show how superiour their thoughts and ideas are and look down onto people who aren't like them and consider them "damn hippies."

Yeah, I'd be mad and rant too if I was called stupid all the time for being a liberal.

And arcticchick, you are absolutly right that I really should not resort to name calling and bashing. However, I tend to get angry when I am treated that way. If I can have an intelegent discussion with someone about politics than things would be different. Instead, I'm constantly told how wrong I am.

Answer 6

Any intelligent American (con or lib) knows that Fox News is nothing more than a propaganda/public relations machine for the White House.

"Little brains" are the only ones that pay it any attention.

Truth be told, all media in this country is not to be trusted as reliable sources of facts that protect the common good of the people. But like I stated, intelligent Americans know this fact.

Answer 7

Why do you think of that form of element might disillusioned us. we don't love John Stewart because of fact he's a poster boy for the democratic circulation. we like John Stewart because of fact in assessment to all the different information companies, he's taking the might desire to comprehend information and supplies it in a manner that would not make us % to flow slowly right into a hollow and die on the top of the printed. He sheds easy on severe themes that % interest with out depressing us over the actual incontrovertible fact that ninety% of our elected leaders act like a gaggle of idiots attempting to verify a thank you to hump a door knob. final night's application grew to become right into a first-rate occasion of why we like John, because of fact whilst definite he grew to become into agreeing with fox information, he observed purely how screwed up the region grew to become into while human beings like dick cheney have been annoying government accountability and donald rumsfeld grew to become into complaining approximately how speaking factors have been replaced.

Answer 8

Because the only freedom of speech liberals support is their own. Just look at how *invited* conservative speakers are treated at colleges around the country.

The more I am exposed to the left, the more conservative I become.

Joe - someone at some point has to rise above the name calling and bashing. I admit, I fall into it, too, but really - it ruins any decent argument.

Answer 9

To me FOX news is just GOP news. Gods only press.

Answer 10

Because it is on the top 10 list of things democrats should complain about... Per the Democratic talking points memo.

I know, they all need a new cause.
