1. She puts the reasons in a simple nutshell that everyone can use

to explain why it is not a news network.

4. America is a third world banana republic

Except there's only a few places you can grow bananas. Now I know what Hugo Chavez has to put up with. Can you imagine if Fox had even more "market share" because they had bought out ABC and NBC?

5. What would the Jerry Springer crowd do without Fux?

9. Rachel got the whole WH-Fox denied interview story completely wrong

The rest of her commentary was excellent but as it turns out Fox was never denied that interview it's that all the other news media decide to use one central camera for everyone's interview and so had to sign up on the list to see who went in what order and Fox never signed up...the WH never denied Fox that interview nor did they "change their minds" and go back and allow Fox to interview. Check the real story at the Washington montly.com or glenn [e-mail]. Fox spent the whole next day boosting that lie and fellow news media fell for it without actually investigating what really happened.

I love Rachel so I hope she sets that record straight because it just further proves why Fox is the opposition and not news...they lie to smear the WH at every opportunity

11. Thanks for clarifying this! I didn't know the facts and I took

Rachel's word for it.

Rachel will set the record straight and apologize for mis-handling the facts. She has done that before.

10. The WH never denied Fox that interview.Fox just didn't sign up on the single camera list.
