You should check out Beck TV, you can get a one month free trial.
I swear, it's a breath of fresh air, I actually laugh instead of screaming at the box, aside the fact you get real news, stuff you'd never hear about otherwise.

I can't sell this enough, don't miss it.

I love Beck but he advertizes that loon Alex Jones who I see as a joke. That really bothers me.

I watched the interview with Murdoch on Uncommon Knowledge, he was quite sincere that he is only driven after increasing profits... which is great, it creates jobs and capital. But as Robinson pointed out in that interview the only edge FOX has that keeps it stable and twice the size of its competitors is that they have a "conservative/republican" narrative but he countered Robinson stating that FOX in not conservative, it is balanced with both liberals and conservatives. At least Murdoch is honest, but this balance is enough to make the liberals hate him and scream for fox's execution.

I can overlook the commercials, it's the content that matters.

However, you raise an interesting point, Drudge has been linking to his stories as well, Jones makes the Right look like a bunch of conspiracy freaks, not that there isn't a lot of truth in what he says, but he always goes the extra mile in seeing an even bigger and more evil plot beyond the rationale of a sane person.

They should never have replaced him with "The Five".  I watched that show a few times at the start.  It was good but not great.  Now as I said, FOX is persona non grata for me.  And I'm one of the few who can't stand Megyn Kelly.  I checked her show out as well.  Better than Hannity but it will get old quickly.  I watched it quite a few times since it's debut just to see what all the hoop-la was about.   She asks hard hitting questions but just when she has them cornered and can rip them a new one, she let's them off the hook.  So now it's back to no FOX News.

I will admit if a crisis is breaking I will watch it on FOX since I know that I am at least getting half the truth.

Are you talking about the Beck TV network, the one where you have to sign up and pay for in order to view?
Because i have to totally disagree, he gives you information you won't find anywhere else, hands down!

No. I'm saying FOX should have never let Beck go.  Beck was great and told it like it was. It's The Five that's okay but not great. Just the opposite.  I like him (Beck), FOX....not so much.

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

Your dislike of Kelley for not going in for the kill, is the same issue I have with Hannity, he never finishes the job with a knife to the throat.
But like you, if there is breaking national news, I switch to FOX, then back to the Cartoon network.

The excuse they hide behind (or so I've read) is that if they do it, they won't get them back in the future.  Lemmings.

ROFL!! I heard that as well, but these people are mimicking RINO thought, don't speak ill of the left, or they'll call you a poopy head, but the fact is, FOX has the largest audience and if you want exposure, you go on FOX and tell your side.

Freakin Cowards!

Have you watched "The Kelly File" She has been destroying Obama and Obamacare.

Yes.  Yes.  She is one tough cookie.  She could hardly keep a straight face when she was interviewing Ezekial Emanuael and he was saying outrageously ridiculous things--even brought in George Bush.

While FOX news isn't perfect by any means, at least it presents the conservative point of view often, which cannot be said for the MSM. If not for FOX the American people would just be spoon fed the pablum from the left.  And of course FOX is always looking at the bottom line.  They wouldn't be in business very long if they didn't. They might get 75% from the gov.  Few would refuse it.

FOX is like the lesser of all evils. Better than the MSM and MSLSD and CNN but still not quite what we need.  Sadly we need a Ruthless News Channel.

I just checked CNN.com and the only thing of any significance is a lob opinion piece supporting Obamacare. FNC does report the news.

That they do when it comes to hard news, but like Solar mentioned.  They put the knife to the neck and then they let the person off the hook just when they are backed into a corner when it comes to interviews with the opposition.  O'Reilly is the biggest offender on that.

He touts a "hard hitting interview that you won't want to miss" then he lobs softballs or doesn't follow up.

I'm done with FOX.

The other news channels are going broke.
Why would I tune into a news show to hear how I kill old people, love dirty water, etc?
