They tried to make an HLN style show on Fox News, like Joy Behar or Showbiz Tonight, and it was not as good.
I'd have to agree with you. It's tries to be funny, but fails. Must be why it's on so late.
[QUOTE=Jenkem;21527662]Alright, you've got a problem with Fox News like every other person who can't come up with an original hate.
Let's hear it, then. What can you accuse Fox News of that I couldn't use against your favorite news channel?[/QUOTE]
lets hear it for jenkem, folks.

It tries to be funny, but the host has the most annoying voice ever. I want to punch him in the throat.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;21530718]MSNBC might lean left but they don't just lie and distort everything completely.
CNN is the most unbiased US news channel I have ever seen. They actually talk about NEWS and not bullshit.[/QUOTE]
Rather unfortunately it pales ever so slightly in terms of content compared to other "international" channels like BBC World and Al-Jazeera. (we got France 24 for a trial period and I was pleasantly surprised by switching it on and finding a debate on surveillance cameras in French society where they wheeled out an expat lawyer - with a Southern drawl! - and a professor and had a back-and-forth by themselves for 10 minutes. Spellbinding.)
If that's the standard, though, I don't know whether to be sad or indifferent.
The Onion is the best news network around.

[QUOTE=nERVEcenter;21530658]I find their reporting bias to be on-par with Fox's. As in, it happens, but I'm not cringing as often as with MSNBC or the like. And yes, I do cringe every now and then watching Fox's reporting. Like I said, about as much as with CNN.[/QUOTE]
CNN isn't biased.
I don't think there should be much room for bias when they are pointing out something someone else had said. Like TYT pointing out what Glenn Beck said.

Bullshit, CNN was bias 20 years ago. If you watch it now, it's pretty non-partisan reporting followed by 20 minutes of tweets and trying to be hip.

You dumb cunts, you're supposed to report the news, not people's reaction to it.

I don't know why so many of us got our toques in a twist over that. It was offensive but people should just deal with it.

To be fair CTV NewsNet, Canada's 24-hour news station, doesn't do any of that filler that CNN does and it becomes incredibly stale.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;21525365]Why should the poor and middle class(I'm talking $40-100 grand people) have to pay more taxes when they have enough trouble paying their bills? Why can't these rich cock suckers pay more, it isn't like they will struggle if they have to pay a little bit more.[/QUOTE]
Or we can stop acting like Middle class people will go bankrupt if they get taxed a little more, if that happens they already have a problem as it is. I don't see a problem with taxing middle class people more, because generally they can take it, however, lower class or whatever doesn't matter anyway because they have no money.

Classic fox news. Ironic too.
You're a dick if you think you can put a price on life. If I have to pay,
[I]1%?[/I]
more so that people can live, fuck, I'll pay,
[I]2% more?[/I]
Okay, and the congressional budget office (non-partisan, albeit not always correct group) predicts that it will decrease the deficit. The fact is that we don't know. Stupid story by stupid news organization.

That is the first truly respectable response that I have seen to that from a Canadian. Kudos to you.

I think news should be stale. It shouldn't be entertainment.
