Do you think Fox News should be a talk show and not a news channel?

Definitely. Just one continuous day time talk show. I bet they could blame Haiti on Obama as well lol.

According to Fox themselves (I don’t have a completely official source, but here’s a mention of it)
The only news hours are 9am-4pm, 6pm-8pm.
Fox and friends, Glenn Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity and van Sustern. These programs are Fox News’s most popular programs. They are not Fox News’s news. The people you’ve never heard of, those people are the “news” in “Fox News”.

The format doesn’t really matter, I’ll be ignoring it no matter what they do.

More like Faux News. I think they should stop pretending they’re a legitimate news organization.

It seems we have changed the definition of the word news. Or, maybe I am clinging to the idea that news is synonomous with balanced Jounalism. O’Reilly is not that bad, but Hannity, Beck, some of the others are horrible. I saw O’Reilly on The View and he said he doesn’t watch Hannity, he watches Larry King, haha, and then he kind of tried to take it back, realizing it was not a good idea to say he was not watching his network.

I can’t stand Maddow or Obermann either. All the extremes are awful. Morning Joe on MSNBC is the best, most balanced show hands down. They are the most civilized and discussion oriented, always presenting both sides, and many time republicans willing to agree with democrats and vice versa. They do not walk lock step with whatever their parties is preaching, they take each topic on a separate basis.

Maybe you guys should work on banning fox from the air… look to saul alinsky and chavez for clues on how to do this. Let’s work on only one point of view so we can’t get distracted from american idol.

@MissAnthrope Yeah! Not legitimate like dan rather!

Dan Rather is a news organization?

I thought it already was…

@MissAnthrope he he… I bow to your mental dexterity. So…. how’s american idol?

@Tomfafa I don’t think most are saying Fox News should not exist, I think we are saying lets call it something else.

@Tomfafa – I wouldn’t know. I’ve never watched it and with any luck, I never will.

I’ve been saying for quite some time now that FOX should be a news magazine channel rather than a news channel. They have so many different shows on I think it would make more sense. I also watch CNN and MSNBC and I’ve found they do more news than shows, unlike FOX.

@BoBo1946 I was watching Fox News while they were reporting breaking world news a few weeks ago, then I turned to MSNBC and they were reporting the latest celebrity gossip. Fox isn’t the only news organization that is guilty of not reporting on what is important.

@jonsblond A agree, but Fox has NEWS right in the name.

@MissAnthrope Good attitude! That how we got obama.

@Tomfafa – Huh? Did you drop some acid or something this morning?

Fox has news – hard news – and it has news commentary, just like CNN which also has ‘news’ in its name. The thing is that many of Fox’ commentators have a way of saying things that outrage people and there’s nothing more fun than being outraged.

It’s interesting that everyone knows FOX is right leaning but very few understand how far left CNN, ABC, MNSBC, NBC, CBS, and most major media outlets are.

@JLeslie

“O’Reilly is not that bad”

Wut

@Jong6451 Don’t forget most schools and universities… most unions and just about all of hollywood! The only way liberals can comfortably disseminate their propaganda is to silence any critique of it. The ideology falls apart in the light of day.

@Jong6451 The problem isn’t that Fox leans right.
It’s that Fox has firmly placed its feet in two locations: the Right, and the Fucktarded. Those two don’t necessarily have to be combined, but Fox can’t resist combining them.

@Sarcasm With your obvious intellect you should be on their editorial board.

@Ivan I just mean relative to the rest on that channel. I don’t mean to imply he is a balanced journalist. I have seen him disagree with the republicans and have guests who contradict him. I think O-Reilly would freely admit he is not really a news show in the classic sense of the word.
