Looks to me like the Democrats are standing up to the FOX Gobbles propaganda network here. Way to go Democrats! To me it resembles spine. Go with a network that can tell a black Bill Jefferson from a John Conyers. Don’t know what he means by “can’t stand up to FOX”.

Why does anyone care what Fox republican propaganda comedy programs have to say. They are one of the biggest jokes in our country's history. If anyone wants to put any effort into Fox's comedy show , it should be to strip them of the "NEW MEDIA" title.. When a station praises draft dodgers (like Bush & Cheney) and condemns the patriotism of War vets (like Kerry & war vets free speech in anti-war demonstrations) need I say more...

If Ailes and/or O'Reilly can't face George Clooney, they don't have the spine to face real terrorism, which is a typical reaction of these chickenhawks. If they want to really face terrorism, they should start with the "shock and awe" variety.

Let the Conservatives have their little orgy of misinformation... When they bring-up silly things they heard from their bestest friend Mr. O'Reilly, it just makes me sound even smarter than I already am. Being a student just starting on my road to a degree in Journalism, I love to pick apart their arguments. I will admit, sometimes, when I'm working in the concierge lounge, Faux news gets switched on, and I'll watch. This is only to further expand the arguments I already make, and I have a tendency to immediately switch the channel to MSNBC or CNNHN to cleanse myself. As a side note to all of the repugnant conservatives who will no doubt respond in anger to my post, I have a tendency to leave a post, and be done with it. I prefer not to be a coward and argue with people over the internet. I like to look my enemy in the eye (when applicable), and tell him/her just what I really think. It's sad that I'm forced, as of yet, to only post my rebuttle, but believe you me, if I really could, I would love to have a sit-down with some of you conservatives on here, and let you know just what is wrong with what you are saying. Maybe try subscribing to the BBC, if you really want politically un-biased news reporting. They would have no reason to be partisan when it comes to American subject matter, because they are not in this country and are not (directly) affected by our policies. Also, it will free you all from the terrorist love-fest that is American news. I wish I could've made my argument more valid, as I feel that there may be some holes in it. Say to me what you will, but you will recieve no response. I've long ago abandoned my hostile nature when it comes to blogs and the such; it does no one any good, and only serves to exacerbate my heart palipitations.
