Is Fox News just a media network or a political party of its own?

[Timex]

I'm not a fan of Fox News at all, but sometimes I'm curious to see what they have to say. The reporters are unbelievable! Why don't the reporters just interview themselves? Not only do they host insane people on their shows, but even they - the reporters - force their opinions, and they do it ALL the time!

2. Fox News is a 24 hr/day infomercial for the Repugnant Right Wing. n/t

3. I wouldn't be surprised to find that certain Fox "Personalities"...

...were receiving monthly checks from the White House.
I'm looking at you Hannity...and O'Reilly
Hume
Cavuto
Wallace

If such a scandal broke, the Repubs would collectively shrug their shoulders, point out Dan Rather, and claim the rest of the MSM must be on the Democratic dole
Then the next scandal would break the next week, and an attention deficient media would move on.

Business as usual. ...sigh

5. That's not the way it works.

The White HOuse doesn't have to pay them. Big Business does that. However, the White House furnishes them with talking points to keep them straight.

4. Fox News is an extension of talk radio

Only with visuals and a pretext of offering diverse opinions and information. I wonder if they've ever tried to get Rush Limbaugh for prime time ? They got the other two: Hannity and O'Reilly. With Rush from 10:00PM to 11:00PM, they'd have a full house.

6. It's free Republican advertising in violation of the law

They must be removed from the airwaves or count as a 24 hour Republican advertisement.
