Wouldn’t it be easier if liberals could just prove fox news is wrong? They can’t prove them wrong so they have to try other ways to silence the truth

Ah to be a liberal, to proclaim my tolerance and open-mindedness with a few tacky bumper stickers and then turn around and try to silence any type of political divergence:
Liberal activists are stepping up their campaign against Fox News Channel by pressuring advertisers not to patronize the network.
MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America's Future and liberal blogs like DailyKos.com are asking thousands of supporters to monitor who is advertising on the network. Once a database is gathered, an organized phone-calling campaign will begin, said Jim Gilliam, vice president of media strategy for Brave New Films, a company that has made anti-Fox videos.

If you don't think that FOX News (and other regressive rightists) has been proven to spread countless falseheads time and time again, you need to do some serious reading of the various watchdogs:

There are MORE Republicans in this country, than there are Democrats Liberals! Unfortunately you ALL have bigger mouths than we do ,too! You can not be heard when you are speaking in a normal voice, a voice of reason, when someone is using a bullhorn!
The bullhorn,expounding the BS rhetoric of Rep.neo cons is louder every time!
And I have never heard of a open-minded neo-con Rep! That in itself is an oxymoron! Underline MORON!
And the Republicans would not recognize the truth, if it rose up, and bit them on the butt!
'And it just got more insane, with your brainless leading, authorizing the sale of arms to our enemies! The Emirates will undoubtedly give these new weapons to their allies in Al Quada!
We don't have to prove Fox Unfair, and Unbalanced, underline unbalanced! They will, as usual prove THEMSELVES as the idiots of the situation! I have yet to see the program on Fox, that has a Dem-Lib, guest, and a Rep. Guest, where both the host and the Rep. guest shout down whatever the D.L says! And this is supposed to be Fair and Balanced? I see where the Balance goes, and it tips way to the RIGHT!
These people open their mouths, and the insanity just gushes out! And the sad part is that the insanity of these NEO_CONS, want to be Gods, are going to destroy this whole country for not only us, but for themselves as well!

You are absolutely correct. Nothing, but nothing, would silence Fox News quicker than some verifiable and valid facts which would back up all of the BS about their news being false. Since these revelations are sorely missing from the other networks, I can only continue to assume that all they have are their own crybaby antics to back up the allegations.
It seems that when BOTH sides of an issue is presented, it upsets the liberals because at least half of Fox News must be false - you know, the opposing half that doesn't support their preconceived notions.
Hypocritical? You can bet on it.

Fox News is very one sided and to say it's not is making you a liar. I tried to watch Bill O' Reilly once and him yelling at the t.v. about how wrong I was made me sick. I don't want to watch programs that wont listen to other points of views. You will probably say that I'm one sided, however, I do listen to my Republican friends when we have debates. Here's the shocker we agreed on something because we weren't yelling at each other over an issue. You can say I'm not open minded, I really don't care I know my beliefs, but don't tell me fox news is the best. I don't like liars.

Fox news is Fake News---Period. Just how often do you see stories reported in the Media where they say--"As reported by Fox News..." Zero--Zilch--Nada....Their stories are so slanted they roll right off the t.v.!! Thank god Murdoch's bid to get his hands on the WSJ has been denied!! Your better off watching the Cartoon Network then Fox News. Look at the history of Fox News. Upon it's infestation it lost money year after year after year, but Murdoch makes so much coin elsewhere he kept it going for it's propaganda value--and it sucked you right in. Sad but True.

Ok, I agree with a great deal of what you say. But you have to admit there is bias in Fox News it is just slanted to the conservative point of view. What I can't understand, with Fox's ratings is why other news stations haven't shifted over the the conservative slant. They are all still beating the same old liberal drum, so loud that they cannot hear themselves think. Liberals .. think... yeah I am sure they do but their brains don't work the same way mind does.

I see by the references that you so generously cite that once again a con is spewing BS.

They cannot, which is why they do not. I do not get into arguments with liberals. They only use emotion and feelings. You cannot have a reasonable discussion with people who do not use logic.

Liberals preach tolerance, but are far from tolerant of anything that doesnt buy into their agenda. They claim to be progressive, yet have shown no progress, and they love "fairness", except when one news network is showing up the other six. Face it liberals, You have been rejected by Mainstream America.
