That would go over like a fart in a space suit.

I'm sure they wouldn't like it but i'd bet the public would...

Yes, then they would know to flip the channel if they did not care for who they supported.

One never learns anything merely by listening to opinions they agree with.

I don't remember who it was that said that quote but it does hold a good point for us.

I don't see anyone whining about Bill O'Reilly and his Conservative-Republican bias, nor do I see any complaints against Fox News.:hmm:

Doesn't matter. The news isn't what it used to be.

Once upon a time, kids, you could turn the TV on, and at EXACTLY 6 p.m., you'd get legends telling of what happened that day with their commanding tones and cigarettes in hand...

And then... the "Ratings Race" began...

They're all gone now, replaced by blonds in miniskirts.

Obviously you have never searched this board for threads about Fox TV or their commentators.... There's plenty of whining if you go look.
