Poll question: Your favorite nickname for Fox "News"
In honor of their coverage of us today. Let's come up with some new ones too! Fox State Television is my favorite. It is no better than the propaganda networks of third world nations.

4. Faux News has been my preferred name for them for a while now
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 04:18 PM by ET Awful
you can't get much more accurate of a description than "Faux" :).

Plus there's that added bonus of it being a French word which I'm sure really chaps their collective hides over at chateau Murdoch.

Ok, I usually call it Faux News, because I'm not usually anywhere near that coarse in casual conversation.

10. Fox = Crap
A turd is a turd any way you slice it. Flush Fox. Even my cat hides when she thinks Fox might be on. They are the reTHUGlican mouth piece masquerading as a news channel And what's worse is the other cable and network news channels use Fox as a model for their formats.

So I guess my nickname for them would be
"FLUSH FOX NEWS" It's a verb, it's a noun it's in need of more water in the toilet

14. Fascist News
Bringing you patriotic stories of glorious battles over 'terrists' and evildoers. You will actually receive first breaking news of 'Top Gun' Bush bringing the soldiers home and declaring 'Mission Accomplished', and God personally approving of his re-election to spread freedom around the World (dramatization). Wait there's more, you will actually see first hand that liberal communist 'terrists' are flushed out of our Government by Patriotic Republicans, and exposed as Anti-American Democrats who cheat and steal power and elections.

Come join us in this New World Order that is led by the Republic of America with the Bush Dynasty of Imperialism at command, where we tell you how you should think so you never have to worry about it again.
What have you done for your Imperial Leader today?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Yea, that's what immediately comes to mind when I hear Fox News.

30. Pravda?
The only difference between Faux News and Pravda is that you can wrap fish with Pravda.
