    Fox News is good to watch if you want to watch a news agency that makes efforts to cover up the bad that's happening in the world and tries to only show the good in every situation. But if you want "true" news that covers the whole story, good and bad, even if it isn't in the conservatives' best interest, look elsewhere.

    Actually its not a War. Its a conflict. And I dont' hate fox because of what it reports, I hate it for being a Biased and slanted piece of news station.

    I think you're getting the Fox News channel confused with a local Fox carrier's news program. While local news channels are exploitative, scaremongering, and altogether lacking any sort of journalistic integrity, they're a different beast entirely from Fox News.

    My friend really likes some news show on PBS that I forget the name of. Basically the guy gave the events straight. No slant, no political agenda, no nothing. He hasn't even voted in thirty some odd years as to not influence his viewers. He just wants them to know what's going on without his personal opinion skewing anything.

    I tend to watch Fox News for an hour, then CNN for an hour. And compare what I heard. I then try to decide what parts were station bias.
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    I'll watch the Colbert Report. :D That is, if I ever watch television at all.

    Fox, not really. Local news stations are the devil. It's funny when people feel intelligent, sophisticated, and informed for watching them. :]

    No matter what news you are watching, there is a bias. The best thing to do is watch/read several stories on the same thing, and then you can figure out what is really happening.

    When I'm in the mood to watch news; Fox News is not really something I watch usually. I just can't stand listening to them for more than a few minutes. Every now and then they'll say some things that peak my intrest though.

    I don't watch the news. Dad does, which covers all my family's needs for news.

    After all, all news channles do is lie and make up stories. Wake up people!

    Media Lab Media Lab, I'm selling them lies 'cause I got a job in the media lab.

    But really, the media is terrible, they focus on the wrong things. Its sickening. Just absolutely downright sickening. Also, what is rather humourous, many people think that 99% of the news is a lie... hate to say this, but 99% of bad news is the truth, and 99% of Good news is a lie.

    There is no news like Good News. "Good News" is just bad news with an incredible spin.

    There are good news like when they say that the army is out in the street and is doing its job by protecting the citizens. Only, you go out to the dtreet and find it deserted.
    Bad news are when they say a bomb went off and killed 100, the lie is it killed 500.
    So in both type of news they lie!
