I use to be a faithful watcher back when American Morning with Paula Zahn was on with Jack Cafferty and the other dude who eventually left for Fox News (smart choice).
My eyes were opened to their anti-American foolishness following 9/11. Why do any rational Americans still view that channel?
Seriously.

They present the news just the way liberals like it, with a slant to the far left.

Not a liberal, but I used to be a big fan of Larry King, but he never asked any tough questions nor sparked any controversy. I drifted away when CNN's news coverage of the 2003 invasion was limited to Wolf Blitzer in Kuwait City not knowing what to make of reports coming in, versus Fox News with journalists embedded with the units and seeing the war as it happened! Ollie North with the troops was awesome!! As were the military specialists from StratFor, the former generals, captains, navy commanders, the sand tables, and live footage from Rick Leventhal and Gregg Kelley and even Geraldo Rivera, all live with the troops IN THE FIELD. I would switch back to Wolf Blitzer in Kuwait City and he would have no news, and then go back to Fox which showed the Forces KICKING BUTT and moving with lightning speed on Baghdad and slicing through the Republican Guard like butter!
I have not really watched CNN since. Wolf was against the war anyway, and it showed in the poor coverage of the Iraq War and its coverage since.

I really don't care what the network is as long as I can see the news. I watch CNN, MSNBC, and my local news channels. I could care less about the spin. To quote Joe Friday from Dragnet, I am interested in "Just the facts, Maam". I can think and interpret things for myself.

Why liberals attack in easy terms fox information is with the aid of the fact Fox is somewhat one sided and would not supply all the reality. that is an identical reason repubs attack CNN, MSNBC, because of the fact they are is somewhat one sided and don't supply all the reality.

I work for a hotel chain, and some of the hotels in Northern Virginia only got CNN, not FOX. I actually had a client write to the General Manager asking for him to expand the cable to get FOX because he refused to watch CNN - in his words the "Communist News Network" !!
Too funny... I actually watch CNN and FOX so that I get a broader view of things....

Good question. Most self-respecting liberals watch MSNBC and Bill Moyers on PBS. CNN wants to be just like FOX when they grow up.

Fox news is much better. They report the news like it is, unlike CNN which has a liberal spin on everything. And look at the ratings, CNN is way lower then Fox News. Americans just do not fool for thier biased viewpoints and propaganda.

News is news. Why would anyone want to watch biased news unless they are closed minded. Yes, I watch the O'Reilly Factor, but I also watch Larry King, and Count Down with Keith Olberman. You have to watch both sides.

Not a whole lot, but it is at least owned by an American.

Their commentators don't sneer, they give time to both sides. If you think they are anti American maybe its because the things that make the news lately are thing that American isn't know for.

Nothing as far as I can see. It's been pulled to the right by the multibillionares that own it. Just like the rest of the media (t.v., radio, print and the Internet.). There are no more liberal media.
