It sure seems that way here. They seem to know a lot more about the latest crap on O'Reilly's show or what Sean Hannity said yesterday. Why don't they just turn the channel?

Because they want to say how mean and evil Fox News anchors are, so they watch, cut small clips that are usually taken WAY out of context out of the broadcast, and replay them for hours to make the conservative anchors on Fox look bad.

No, think that their show caters to largely a very conservative audience. And when I used to watch them they were certainly not balanced in their approach. And of course they know that, and really don't try to be.
I am certain that some liberals watch it, to just see what is going on, and what outrageous things that pundits such as O'Reilly will say, but I am pretty certain that they would be in the minority. But educated people like to know what all sides are thinking sometimes in forming their opinions. But really Fox News I would think really pretty much preaches to the choir most of the time. That is why their polls are always so skewed towards the right.
Fox News is a very very conservative right wing type of news program, and is not where you would want to look for a balanced look at the news. They pretty much push a very conservative Republican agenda, and I would venture a guess that 90 percent or so are conservative Republicans that lean extremely far to the right.
If an extreme right wing agenda is your cup of tea though, and you do not mind a biased look at the news, then it is a good place to go.

Well, I'm a liberal and don't watch Fox Noise. There are, however, liberals who watch Fox Noise and watch specifically for moments of idiocy from Bill Orally, Sean Hannity, and the rest. They then make their findings available to liberals like me to study. A perfect example of such people is Media Matters for America (which Orally continues to slam as "smear merchants").

One must know both views on the issues before you can come to an intelligent decision. If Liberals are watching Fox news, that's great because it means they have the ability to listen to the opposition and still form a different opinion.
