Wouldn't it be funny if Fox turned completely Liberal?
I mean the total opposite of what they are today.

1. I can't even imagine.
Because no such network exists today. Even Canada's CBC isn't as openly, bluntly "liberal" as Fox is conservative.

3. The Freepers already think they see it happening
Some of them are saying they won't watch it anymore because it's sliding to the left. I saw that in a thread about Gen. Clark getting a job there. That did NOT sit well with the freepers.

16. If Fox News is too far to the left, then...
Where will the poor Freepers turn to for news? The "liberal media" perhaps?

25. PBS?
Ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!

No matter where you think PBS stands, you still gotta have an attention span longer than 10 seconds to get anything at all from it!

5. We'd have to be deep inside another dimension...
...Bizarro World perhaps, for that to ever happen.

Wish we had an Air America TV & an American version of al Jazeera

7. What would be ideal
is if all these networks just reported the damn news and truly let us decide. No Liberal slant, no conservative slant, just the facts. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less.

15. That's what I think
They don't want to be seen with a loser like W and his gang of thugs. It's also about money. The last time faux had good raitings was on November 2nd, 2004. So they have to do something. Amazing what one man from Michigan has done (Mr. Conyers) with three hours on his hands.

10. I always wonder
What would happen if Rush simply one day became a liberal. No annoucement, but simply just did a 180 on all his views. Would the ditto heads figure it out? Or if your so brain washed into follow the leader can you tell the leader has changed his tune. The fact Bush can keep changing the goal in Iraq and only a few conservatives have caught on makes me think it could happen and the viwers wouldn't even know.

11. Hell I'd just be happy if the "free" press were truly the free press again
and doing their job. Personally I think the press should be asking questions of EVERY president. Apparently they don't. Only the Democratic ones.

12. It would be funny
:crazy: And then all their rightwing viewers went liberal? *snicker* In another thread someone posted a quote from Murdoch and said he was getting revenge on Bush, so I think he'll be going a bit more to the left. But the day they start pumping Hillary Clinton in a positive way that'll be the day I'd be surprised.

13. To quote the movie Super Troopers
"I'll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert."

Every time I see someone say that Fox News is liberal, I show them the picture that was posted on here that tells their viewers to blame liberals for high gas prices.

21. It's all about money. Murdoch is no fool.
Their ratings have been sliding badly lately. So, if their market research has started to suggest that the political pendulum is swinging back away from the extreme right, and that this causes them to lose viewers, their slant will soon be less right-wing. They might even be a sort of canary in the coal mine: if ranting, spittle-flecked freeperism is becoming less popular with the viewing public, Pox News may very well be among the first of the media outlets to reflect that fact. Let's watch; see what happens next.

22. Nope. Who wants them?
Stupid, unfunny, racist, and shallow.

Would a change in politics improve Sean Hannity? Would it make Bill O'Reilly less of a lying liar?

26. Really. I mean, why would we want to start watching now?
They helped fuck up this country; why would any thinking person want to jump on their wagon now?

27. The tides a turnin'
There's something in the air. Bush can run, but he can't hide. The lies are becoming transparent. I forsee chaos in the Bush administration.

28. I'll believe it when I see Mike Malloy in Sean Hannity's chair.
Colmes could defend the "conservative" viewpoint just as good as does the "liberal" viewpoint now :evilgrin:
