I think fox news is worse than the other networks--partly because it was founded on settling the score with the phantom "liberal media".(networks which already rely heavily on commentary from right-wing think tanks, official white house press releases, and corporate lobbyists,).

While other networks might be biased, fox news is pure propaganda and stupidity.

Here's something funny. Most the people in this thread have been about as biased as the news sources.

Your post insinuated that it's silly for people to complain about Fox News more than any other news network. The reason for the fox news complaining is fairly obvious seeing as the other news networks never called the President who's ideology they opposed (Bush) Hitler/Stalin. Sorry I don't agree with you that it's somehow unfair for them to go after Fox News; who basically set themselves up to be the straw man anyway.

Look, I know MSNBC is biased.

But you see this is kinda personal, I don't have MSNBC anymore, my grandmother watches FoxNews all the time. There ya go.

If you want to make an MSNBC thread, be my guest. I'll be sure to rant about what douchebags Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann are.

I'm not sure which is scarier. The fact you believe what you type, of the fact that you probably believe what you type is smart. [not just this thread, but a collection of the amazing posts I've read the past few days]

He had a 92% approval rating at one point.......but I appreciate you further helping my point.

He also left office with a 22% approval rating. I'd probably take your "point" more seriously if you didn't spend all your time making condescending remarks and avoiding any argument over your "points" beyond when you first state them.

Here, let me further your point. He lied about WMDs, falsified documents for the purpose of going to war, and managed to leave office with the biggest debt any president has in U.S. history. Approval rating at some random point in history does not make him any less of a criminal, and by supporting his actions you support illegal activity.

You stated you "never supported" Bush...I pointed out that he had a ridiculously high approval rating, one you were more than likely a part of. Pretty mf'in likely since almost all of the US supported him at that time.

I don't avoid the arguments, I just choose not to waste my time on you since you don't have the mental grasp to understand what I'm saying.

I've seen what you posted since you've came to this site. Please don't start playing this intellectual pushover card. You've been a mental midget since you arrived, and you haven't grown up since then.

Those polls don't account for people who didn't participate. Since he was underage at that point in time he was incapable of participation.
