My new policy on Fox News Channel
From now on I will only watch Fox News Channel when news breaks that is unfavorable to the Bush Administration, and even then I will keep my viewership to a minimum. It was one thing during the Clinton Administration when FNC had little power and functioned as a voice of opposition, but now that their guys are in power it is simply scary to watch FNC as it has become the equivalent of a state run propaganda news agency. Fox is the equivalent of the old Soviet Tass News Agency, Castro's Granma and yes, state run television in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. I will no longer be a part of supporting that kind of news organization. I will only watch Fox if its to watch them squirm around when news breaks that is unambiguously bad for the Bush Administration. That would be entertaining.

4. This is a good policy, I practice it myself
In the rare event that I do watch the boob tube, I have the remote tuned to bypass fox news stations (saves some time having to press the button twice) :-)

2. I stopped watching FAUX News
right after the shrub was elected. I couldn't take the crap they would dish out aginst Democrats and all the shrub worship that went on. The ONLY time I watch it is when they have a Democratic Presidential Debate....ot they're interviewing Clark. That's it. Only if I HAVE to watch.

7. I'll watch it the minute a Democrat
is declared the winner in the next presidential election, and won't go near there until or unless that happens.
