Fox News Tells It Like It Is

To be fair, part of that is because liberals have several TV stations (all of them except Foxnews) to choose from. So they are all splitting the liberal share. Fox, on the other hand, has a monopoly on the non-liberal viewpoint.

You'd think that a failing station like MSNBC might try to follow Fox's lead to eat into their ratings, but nope, they'd rather go down with the ship.

Remember the days when you had to think for yourself when you watched the news? You got 30 minutes at 6:30 to listen to the tv and then you had to resort to the newspaper. There was also this thin called "investigative reporting". Now if you watch tv you have a 24 hour news cycle spitting out garbage opinions that you want to hear. Mostly negative.

I hate tv and I hate the news. It's the number one reason that this country is divided on so many issues.
