Greatest comedy network on television.

Discuss.

At least they give Ayn Rand a chance...

While I hate Faux News, I don't see how CNN or MSNBC are that good either. All of them are extremely biased which is why I read my news from all three.

So just because they're an easy target means we're not allowed to discuss them?

It's the most popular news network in the world, it's not like they're some minority that has no impact on anything.

I have a horrifying feeling that Rush Limbaugh is prepping himself up for a run for congress. And that he could win.

Or if god really hates us, president.

What I really hate about Fox news is that they say, "NEWS WITHOUT THE LIBERAL SPIN."
Of course they don't give it a liberal spin, they give it a conservative spin.

Also, I used to have to watch Bill O'Rielly with my grandpa every night. Torture.
However if his program was more like this:

I'd watch it daily as if it were the Daily Show or something.

Boo Boo, what are your political beliefs exactly? I know you are anti-Republican, but are you just one of those cynical democrats who thinks that the rich man is oppressing the common man?

I don't understand why people don't like O'Reilly...

I'm a libertarian in a broad sense, though I'm obviously left of center in many ways.

I'm not a hardcore liberal by any means, I can take the piss on hippie douchebags and radical lefties with the best of them. Undeniably Keith Olbermann is just as much of a douche as Bill O'Reilly in many ways.

I was going to quote the folks I was addressing but the comments are too numerous to quote and direct my fury at.

first of all, you can't tell what bias a website has because thats obviously affected by your bias.

MSNBC is the leftier group
Fox is the right-leaning group.
CNN is in the middle of those two.

As for the "cynical democrat" comment, only a pro-survivalist would look at the current situation and say "no you know what, the rich man...he's doing alright by the little guy."

Where do you live? And do you meet people who don't have a ****ing pot to piss in? I work non-profit and as part of my job, i meet the worst this economy has coughed up on our doorsteps.

I just don't get this simplisitc "if you just live your life correctly, everything will be fine" mentality.
