'News' isn't supposed to be 'pro-anything'. 'News' is supposed to report facts. Editorial content is a different thing. If you have an opinion, it should be presented as a seperate item, clearly labled as an opinion.....it shouldn't be part of the 'news'. If opinion is part of the 'news', then the 'news' is propaganda and disinformation. That's what FOX network does. The second part of your thesis doesn't hold water either. There is no 'extreme left' in american politics.....the term itself is propaganda or more directly a strawman argument. Nobody is calling for the state to take over the means of production and distribution...no matter how many times you say it, it's not true. Blind rage? No, it's more like disgust! No kiddin'!

Fox News has some great "personalities", especially Glenn Beck, but some, like Bill O'Reilly, get too caught up in themselves, don't know how to separate church & state, and think that yelling at their opponents makes for a "successful debate".
That, not being pro-America, is what riles up the left.

I always thought that the news, was supposed to be about facts that's it,not pro-this, pro-that. Whatever. You have one channel that claims to be fair and balanced and another that claims to be the best. I have an idea drop the slogans, drop the music intros and just report the news without a slant one way or another. The media have been neglectful to the public for too long. I think that the public has enough intelligence to draw their own conclusions without the political slant.

Hitler was proGermany, Moussolini was proItaly. Maybe the blind rage you imagine is cause by the fear that rampant nationalism brings to a country who lost hundred of thousands of troops in a war against the above two countries. Or maybe it's a fear of the effects on the populations of those countries themselves, whose losses numbered in teh 10's of millions.

Fox don't have any of those "Tin Foil Hats" that the libs and Dem's seem to think will control the radicals and make them believe that love not bullets will solve the terrorist problems. USMC 60-68

FOX/GOP-TV is nothing more than a state-sponsored propaganda machine to further the ideology of the Fuhrer and his lunatic fringe followers, of whom you must be a card-carrying member.
If you already own the scathing and entertaining outing of FOX "News" as a propaganda network, "OutFoxed," then you'll probably want to pass on this enhanced edition.
But if you haven't seen or purchased "OutFoxed" -- by Robert Greenwald's exceptional Brave New Films project -- then get the just released "enhanced" edition for the holidays!
You get the original "OutFoxed" plus the creative series of the series of short FOX lampoon videos done by Greenwald's outfit.
You can view some of these "FOX Attacks: They Distort, We Reply" videos by clicking here.
From "Brave New Films":
Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know. Produced and Directed by Robert Greenwald.

Fox news is pro- fox news period.
Fox news exists to promote the ideologies of the neo-cons in which Ruppert is such a fan.

It's not blind rage. It's puzzlement. We wonder how anyone with any common sense can believe that Fox is either patriotic or "fair and balanced". That's about as ridiculous as most of your questions.

I have never seen that. I am surprised Shawn Hannity still has his hair. After some of the stuff Libs pull on America, that he has informed us of, I'd be pulling mine out, were I him. Do you think this is why Bill O'Reilly has so little hair?
PS I love it when Bill gets ticked off so much at Geraldo Riviera, for being an idiot!
