I'm convinced Faux News enhances the applause at *'s speeches.
A few years back I saw * giving a speech in the Rose Garden, and when I flicked between BBC, CNN and Faux, the Faux coverage made the applause sound like he was playing Carnegie Hall. Having just seen the idiot give his speech at Arlington, Faux's applause again was somehow echoed and unusually loud.

3. They distort, you decide
faux long ago gave up even the semblance of fairness. Its nothing more than a network where ignorant people consumed with hate can get a paycheck. As Randi Rhodes most aptly put it recently when going through the list of who was rounded up. "They came for the journalists" and at faux news they gave a sigh of relief and thanked God that none of them were journalists.

5. My Mother in Law Would Say
The other networks just turn down the audience's applause.

She's 2% of the 29%

6. There is no doubt about that.
I remember watching the SOTU address on Faux and noticed in a few wide angle shots that somehow the thunderous applause continued on even when the audience ceased applauding and was sitting back down.
I just hope there is a special place for these criminals in Den Hague!

7. It's a Fox Network thing. If you watched American Idol, every so often..
..(When a Contestant was singing) the Camera would pan the audience ...
ALSO..at the same time, you would hear immense clapping and screaming...
only what your eyes saw was...Folks sitting in their seats watching the show (quietly)

Of course, "Canned Laughter" has been around for Decades....
