I love how the americans keep refering to free healthcare for 140million people "evil" and that they dont want to go up before Obama's "death panel".

There is a problem with title "Fox News" chose, in order to be reporting the news said news must be fact and unbiased by those reporting - Fox fail in both.
Oi. Health Care is a trainwreck. (A) How're you supposed to pay for it, and (B), let's just say, for sake of example, that you need an MRI.. You have to get on a list to see doctor, then on a list to get your MRI, then on another list to get a surgerey, probally aprox. 3 years of waiting for one surgery.

As for Fox News, it is defenitally biased, as is CNN and MSNBC. Just internet browse.
Three years? What an odd statement I live in the UK and when from Appointment to MRI to Surgery in a little over a month. If you introduce it now you would be could learn from our mistakes and therefore it should work out better why would it take three years?
England's a lot less densely populated than America, and it would therefore take far longer.

Thats utter rubbish - everything in our system is done on a scale of neccessity - if you have cancer you could die from within say the next month if its not found and operated on in the NHS you would have you're MRI and operation within a week.
If you stubbed you're toe and are a clear hypocondriac you have to wait a little longer but 3 years? definately not.


OH and TAXES pay for healthcare and all that money you're wasting bullying the rest of the world around, that could come in usefull too.

Oi. Just because you've been told that's what the NHS is like, doesn't mean that's what it's actually like.

Actually the UK is far more densley populated 60 million people in 244,820 sq km whereas the US has 300 million pople but spread over about 9,000,000 sq km so you have a larger population but we are much more densely packed into our little island

Hmmmm, all they have to do is say that the terrorists are US-government backed and have been instructed to demand that the Mexican President introduces socialist/liberal policies in Mexico, and piles on pressure for Obama to do the same. I thought that up in about a minute. Think what the entire Fox news team could think up in a similar fashion in about half an hour.
Aye, but that's not really believ- actually, I just recalled the average viewer of Fox, so you're quite right.

You have more people = more hospitals = more people to work in those hospitals = more people to pay taxes in order to pay for those hospitals.

Private drug companies that make a PROFIT from you're illnesses do not want to be put out of buisness so they ARE BRAINWASHING YOU! WAKE UP!

NBC/ABC (and to a lesser extent, CNN) are far left stations that kiss Obama's ass every chance they get. Then complain about Tea party protests ( if they cover them at all)
FOX is a far right station that tries its best to stop Obama and the democrats. They then complain about the government.

I personally watch Fox News every morning (FOX & Friends) but that is about it. I don't trust any news agency, they all have an agenda.
So until I become a broadcast mogul and found my own news channel, I TRUST NO ONE. (That is ironic, Trust no one is from a FOX TV show)

I find it hilarious how every other day I come here and see a thread bashing Fox, but no threads bashing any other bias media outlets, specifically those who are left wing (yes, there are plenty).

Why is that?

I think hating Fox is just the vogue thing to do these days. "Oh, you hate Fox too? You must be cool then".

Edit:
What do you guys think about these topics?

CNN: Good reporting????? Source [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN_controversies]

MSNBC: Good reporting????? Source [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSNBC#Criticism_and_controversy]

At least they'd balance out all of the Fox News hate around here.

Well, surely that means the USA is more densely populated than the UK by Fox News journalistic standards.

Fox is a hell of a lot more reliable than CNN or CBS... don't be ridiculous. They are not even right wing. They are moderates, they just look like hard right because CNN and CBS are SOOOO liberal. If you want right wing go listen to Levin and Limbaugh, that is right wing. There is a very good reason why Fox now owns the ratings... They tell simple fact for the most part outside of the opinion based segments such as Hannity and Beck, but those are late night and off hours. But segments such as Greta Van Sustern, and the O'Reilly Factor are simply facts and logic, which a lot of people in this illiterate and horridly unintelligent society hate for the simple fact that they do not understand logic and without logic fact doesn?t make sense.

Today there is a chance of snow... WHaT? It's May? FUCK IT!!! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

Just watch both FOX and MSNBC for the same story, where they differ is where the lies are.
I love that remix. :D

Well, because I am a Brit, this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93329-Fox-News-Detroit-Likes-The-Legend-of-Zelda] is the only Fox news report I've ever watched, so yeah, they're terrible.

Plus, British healthcare is great. I hate it when people attack it like that.
That is not Fox News. It is a local news network that happens to be a subsidary of Fox. They have their own politics and there own agenda. Hell, for all we know, they could be very liberal.

I trust Fox News a little bit more than I do MSNBC and CNN... MSNBC moreso because they're obviously COMPLETELY in the tank for the Obama administration, and have no interest at all in reporting the news honestly.

The thing I never understood about Fox news is how extreme people can feel about it.
Most of the teens I know hate it more than syphilis, While some of the elderly swear
on the word of Bill O'Rly. I equally dislike the stance of both. But I noticed the more
informed and mature people of the debate classes (Its the cool kids class) just felt
moderate about Fox. They said that they did not hate the station, they are just aggravated
by some of the news casters. And I would have to agree. I may dislike some of the people
on Fox (Bill...) but that does not mean I can enjoy the others that show up. (I do enjoy
the appearances of Michelle Malkin)

... You are trolling. Right?

I think that's the first time I have ever heard "The O'Reilly Factor" described as facts and logic. I mean, one of the guy's main talking points in an argument is screaming so that the other person can't talk.

I remember tuning in to see one of his talking points being something along the line of "Far Left website 4chan distributing child pornography" and just laughed. The number of things wrong with that statement just blew my mind.

The man is a giant walking satire and a massive hypocrite, he has had segments insulting other media outlets for pestering celebrities, then when celebrities refuse to talk on his show he harasses and insults them. The guy has already gotten sued for essentially stalking a co-worker, and everyone has seen the various clips on the internet where he goes crazy and tells people that because a drunk driver who killed someone was an illegal immigrant, it is suddenly this huge deal. The guy on with him tried to argue that the fact he was an immigrant wasn't the reason he killed the person, but that he was drunk, and that there were thousands of other drunk driving deaths in the U.S. and asked O'Reilly why he didn't report on those as well. O'Reilly responded with his classic line "YOU JUST WANT OPEN BORDER ANARCHY AND YOU DON'T CARE WHO GETS HURT!!!"

A sidenote: I am in various ways both a radical leftist and a radical right-wing supporter. I believe Libertarian is the closest thing that describes me. But that doesn't make me blind to the obvious bias in Faux news, and to a lesser extent the bias in MSNBC, CBS, etc.

However, I must beg to ask this question: If you believe all the news stations in all the world are biased, could it simply be that you are biased, and they are not?
