   Next time you hear a so called news story regarding politics on Fox, especially negative stories spreading hatred, do yourself a favor and go to a non - partisan website like politifact.com or to Congressionalbudgetoffice,com and you would be amazed at how many falsehoods are repeated on the Fox channels.
  I dont think Fox donating millions to the Republican party has anything to do with it or the fact that Saudi Arabian Oil magnate Prince Talal al - Saud is an owner. They call themselves " Fair & Balanced ".  Oh yeah.

The people that I talk with who are dedicated to FOX news aren't aware of what 8 years of Bush/Cheney did to our country or they've forgotten. The Repubs are masters at spinning the truth to make these 8 years look insignificant. I saw one Repub spin-master on TV this morning saying that Obama had a Democratic Congress for 2 years, but couldn't accomplish anything. For one thing, it's going to take years to recover, if we ever do, from the disastrous actions and policies of the Repubs. I listen to FOX news and can't believe how they manipulate the low information voters. I've enjoyed talking with tea baggers who keep saying that Obama is violating the Constitution, but they can say how when pressed for an answer.

Most people don't know a Saudi owns controlling interest in FOX.  after Saudi money was insinuated into Rupert Murdoch's empire.   Fox TV--- promotes   the 1% of Americans who like cheap labor---no taxes----deregulations. . The themes are usually "the other's are always shown as the bad guys but "we rich republicans are always the good guys " And that brainwashing technique will hurt the less fortunate people financially..... but it will still be the democrats fault. 

Way back In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States....most people don't know that either.

  The Fox, so called  news shows,  make me think of my Mom, God rest her soul, when she used to tell us to stop watching the " Boob  Tube ". Response to Re: Is That True Or Did You Hear It On Fox News ?:
