Is this what FOX news is usually like?
I'm from UK so I don't watch it, but was just browsing thru Rightnation with a peg on my nose and found this:

http://blugg.com/stuff/foxs_view_of_the_bbc_player.htm

Who is that guy and is that an editorial or actual news because it is so bias and exaggerated, I mean when did Gilligan ever say the Iraqis were winning? The response to it was filled with how BBC is no different to State media of China and Iraq and the usual comments of how it's a communist controlled network etc. i cannot believe people on RN speak so 'expertly' about something they have absolutely no idea about.

2. I'm not kidding
It's like reading a piece in the Sun, also owned by Murdoch, theres no room for forming your own opinions it's just him saying the 'facts', without any real facts to support them, and you have to accept it. Also the Sun is renowned as being a very far Right pro-Thatcher anti-trade union paper and yet Fox news passes itself off as fair and balanced, what a joke!

3. It is really funny news.
It is like reading Free Republic, they never think. Are they going nuts like FR is now? They really are nuts over there now and I started reading about a year ago, and it has just gone like chickens with out a heads. They are starting to ask the same questions we fought out a year ago, in some ways. I guess I will have to look at Fox this week.It is really interesting how anyone on FR is treated if they reason some thing out and state it. All hells brakes out on their heads.You have to believe from A to B over on that site so guess Fox news is the same. The Flat World People are alive and well.

4. Too bad you don't get Fox News on TV
You wouldn't believe it - try Geraldo Rivera (in Iraq, I assume) with a bunch of soldiers standing around him, all scoffing at the liberal guest back in New York or wherever, critizing Bush and the war. Or this show called Heartland, to which all I can say is holy crap. Even the so-called news people spout off ridiculous right-wing opinions as if they're facts. And the slogans, like mantras: Fair and balanced. We report, you decide. The network America trusts for real news. Ugh! It would blow your mind.

5. fuax & friends have the collective IQ of a rural school 6th grader
the neanderthal looking one and the blonde (sorry i don't know their names) spoke the word "duplicity" the other morning and then acted embarrassed and put his hand over his mouth and asked "is that a real word?" and the blonde said "i don't know ....giggle" ....what "morans"

it is too fucking scary to imagine that millions of people give these sophomoric clowns credience...
