So, little Mr Elkin, what do you consider "real" news then?

Would it be CBS, CNN, and the others which articulate the liberal ideology with one voice?

It is childish -- nay, moronic -- to believe that news reflecting one view is wonderful, beyond reproach, and that any channel which dares to proffer other views is "faux."

Really, Elkin, your continued use of "faux," do you really think you are being witty, or funny, or insightful?

You aren't. You are just being childish.

Good lord, Forbes. Your PMS is especially rabid this month.

Fox News is faux news because it's conservative infotainment rather than actual news and is ironically and clearly the exact opposite of Fair and Balanced. They don't report actual news, they report the conservative view of current events that rile Ailes.

That's why their numbers are so much higher than other cable TV outlets: Housebound and scooter-dependent conservatives know they can tune into Fox to get Roger's conservative view of the world without the clutter of even remotely objective reality getting in the way of having their fears and anger reinforced 24/7.

Some leftists do the same with MSNBC, but the numbers more than suggest even leftists are not as easily misled as rightists.

Actual liberals occasionally watch Fox for laughs and MSNBC to remind themselves why they are liberals and not leftists.

Intelligent people (which automatically excludes believers of and in conservatism) get their, our news from a variety of sources.

Anyway Forbes, get yourself some chocolate, General Foods coffees and watch that endless loop of the volleyball scene from "Top Gun" that you have almost worn out on your VHS. Imagine you're once again in that Danger Zone between Maverick and some young Republican page.

No. (EDIT: Yes, Forbes is that dense and proud of it.) They don't left to the left or even lean to the left. Most of the time, except for MSNBC, most of them more than lean to the middle.

That's one of the many, many idiocies of "modern" conservatives. Conservatives believe that anything which isn't explicitly and effortlessly recognizable as conservative, is necessarily leftist. That isn't true except for conservatives.

Hermann Göring (again, free umlauts, Forbes) was to the left because he wasn't pure enough to report to the Fuhrerbunker to swallow the Tea Party poison pill.

But, moving on, there seems to be even more discord in the usually harmonious and ideologically pure Fox Nation.

Normally, even the slightest hint of discord and disharmony is strictly verboten at the News Corp building in Manhattan. But I have noticed there seems to be some cracking of the carefully maintained facade since the publishing of

As soon as my next conservative-funded welfare check arrives, I might buy a copy.

That's funny - most of them lean to the middle? Even CNN has said it's no longer a NEWS outlet. MSNBC is the worst of the HATE spewers, and PBS is just as bad a liberal station as MSNBC because they can fool the lower intelligence watchers.

There are no news stations any more, but, once in a while we get a glimpse at the truth from a few of them, some more than others, but, if you believe what you see on ANY of them, well, you're already lost.

Elkin, you should Google Murphy's Law and learn at least a little something from this forum.

And, Elkin, you should grow up and stop pretending that your own lazy ideology is real and that other viewpoints are "faux."

All this FOX hate from the crowd that marches in lockstep to MediaMatters and Moveon.org to see what George Soros wants them to be outraged over today.

And the German references from Gorg (no, that was deliberate). Well, I suppose it's good that some of his relatives survived the camps and passed the native tongue along. But with so many innocent victims gassed and incinerated and HIS DNA survives? One has to bemoan the lack of justice in the world.
Oy Vey!

Obama and Hitler are peas in a pod. Disarm the people, install your own puppets who are willing to target political enemies, create hate and division then force them to chose by destroying the economy while rewarding those with tokens who fall in line while punishing those who don't.
