If you think the news is frightening now, can you imagine a broadcast from 1941, 1932, 1916, or even 1861. Fox, MSNBC or whomever would have you hiding under your bed!
I think news, culture or whatever is mainly relative to the time. Folks talk about dirty politics and such now without regard to how nasty it was in earlier years. We think kids are worse today, but so has every previous generation. I'm just glad I'm here to see it.

The difference that I see is that the bias on Fox is in their talk shows and opinion programming. Their news reporting is pretty much spot on accurate. "We report, you decide" is a motto that fits their news reporting perfectly.

MSNBC, however is a 24 hour commercial for liberalism and the democrats. Even what is supposed to be news is horribly biased. Their news division motto should be, "We report and tell you what you think."

I see your point, and it's well made, but if you want to compare apples to apples you should compare FOX to the regular NBC with Brian Williams, or with CBS or ABC, as that level of reporting is what they claim to be. In my opinion there is no doubt that FOX is more like MSNBC for comparison purposes in that there is no doubt about which direction they lean.

If both of you are trying to deter me from watching Fox News you are doing a horrible job.

It's obvious you've never watched Electric Blue.

And Fox talking heads don't use the "script of the day"?
Check in anytime during the day and the heads are all parroting the daily script.

Gretchen Carlson
Carlson is originally from Minnesota. She graduated with honors from Stanford University and also studied at Oxford University in England.
Carlson is the recipient of the prestigious American Women in Radio and Television "Best Series" award for her 30-part series on domestic violence and two National Emmy awards for her work at CBS News. In 1989, before beginning her career in television, she was the first classical violinist to be crowned Miss America. Additionally, she is a national celebrity spokesperson for the March of Dimes, serves on the Miss America Organization Board and is a Sunday school teacher.

Gretchen Carlson Still Not Wearing The Pants!

Posted by Priscilla62.20pc on January 14, 2014 � Flag

I don't know if Roger Ailes is a fan of ZZ Top; but it's apparent that he sure does love female anchor's legs and "knows how to use them." As Gabriel Sherman reports in his new book about Roger Ailes, "The Loudest Voice in the Room," Ailes is obsessed with displaying the legs of Fox female anchors. Sherman confirms the existence of the "leg chair" on "The Five." (While Andrea Tantaros was slated for this piece of furniture, former Victoria's Secret model Kimberly Guilfoyle seems to be the primary occupant.) This obsession with legs might have also been confirmed by Gretchen Carlson who admitted that pants were not allowed on Fox & Friends where the curvy couch provides maximum exposure for shapely "gams." And now that Gretch has her own show, she's still not wearing pants!

Au contraire Chi-Town. However, I certainly would not concur that Fox News is in any way tantamount to a soft porn channel in the 80's.

You are right Beechie. I did not mean it in that way. I just meant the amount of blondes.

As do the talking heads of MSNBC. You can check the website of any liberal leaning elected official in D.C against the programming of MSNBC and you will find the "word of the day" in each and every tv show and facebook page of the official.

If I had to guess - I'd say that a central D.C. communications office publishes the word and/or phrase of the day and all programming centers around it.

I tire of the repetitive scripts on each of the channels, but at least FOX takes their topics from the Drudge Report which provides a greater selection of topics. And there must be something to Drudge since he/it is frequently attacked by D.C talking heads!

Watch Hannity and Maddow and you will find the truth somewhere between. That is what I call Fair and Balanced. Actually, I enjoy Crossfire where one can listen to two different viewpoints and ....... once in great while they both agree!

No. Some people had been saying this for years!!! Sheeze!!!!

Fox news is like going to the old movies that had two pictures, a serial, a short news flash and a couple of cartoons. Yow went at no specific time, as you watched it until the part you remember, came back on.

Just like "Sportsceneter". Dun in dat, dun it dat!!!! :D

And that title was followed with the post:
"Or is this just a bad day to watch Fox News?"

Where was the thread more likely to wind up?
Geeeeezzzzz!
