True enough, but I can spot that and ignore it. I'm looking for people saying smart things, and there's more of that on Fox, than on any other network. It's the only network where thoughtful liberals and thoughtful conservatives are each given the chance to make their case. Brett Baier's show at 6:00 would very regularly have Charles Krauthammer and Juan Williams together. Watching a segment with those two guys, is how you learn.

The other networks don't come close, the other networks have almost nothing other than hosts who are the left-wing equivalent of Sean Hannity. On Fox, he's an outlier in terms of his thoughtless ideology. On the other networks, 90% of the hosts are pure ideologues. The ratings speak for themselves.
