List the number one reason why you despise Fox News
Mine is Bill O'Right Wing telling us to hate other countries especially Canada which I find the people there including my friends to be so very nice.

1. They aren't impartial, which makes them illegitimate as a news source.

3. Pox News is the propaganda arm of the Bush Regime.
Consequently they are no better than Baghdad Bob.

7. It's all "Op Ed" and . . .
many Americans don't realize it. There should be some law against marketing opinion as "news." They throw in a few stories about a hurricane or a volcano erruption to make it seem like news--but it's just opinion--and right-wing Bush-supporting crapola.

8. because it's an outlet for right wing propaganda
the good thing is that most view it as such. but bad news is that other sources like CNN and MSNBC are viewed as more objective when they also have crappy reporting and often whore for Bush.

10. Because they have replaced discourse with shouting matches,
and they have made our people stupider.

Plus they seem to really like to hire singularly unnatractive people- I'm all for equal opportunity but half thier people look like failed lab experiments.
Sheesh!
And "Faux and Friends" is like a club for smarmy single celled morans. How can you be dumb, ugly, and smugly self satisfied at the same time?

13. I hate that they
exist. Period. And more than that, I hate that they are the number one most watched news channel in this country.

14. It isn't news but it touts itself as news
It is simply propeganda. Nothing less. There is no news. There stories, no doubt, on FAUX news. However, they have been cherry picked, they have beenspun, edited, redacted, and analyzed to such an extent that the information in them cannot be called news. They are whores, almost to a person.

15. It's all sensationalistic faux journalism
and who is the make-up artist for some of the "men" on there? They look like cheap whores. O'Reilly on the Daily Show looked like he was preparing his body for a showing at the morgue.
