I'm fascinated that you think FoxNews is racist & believes
in an autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader,
severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible
suppression of opposition.

I think the left is acting more & more like that in their
politics & how they react to opposing POV's, etc. If
anything, the further left you go, the more fascist they
seem to be. And they have no problem acting that way
publicly.

Frankly, I don't see that on FoxNews. The more I watch
FoxNews, I am glad to see some moderation & balance than
one sided, salacious hype & bias common to most media
outlets. Sure they are biased to the conservative POV more
so than most media. I think that it is so rare to see
moderately conservative POV's on the tube, that the
perception is that they are extreme. IMO, that's because
it's being compared to the widespread liberal bias that has
been so common on the tube for decades. Some people have
become comfortable with left wing bias 24/7. FoxNews
certainly would seem to be unsettling no doubt.

FoxNews didn't sell out the truth, cover up real news &
report favorable propaganda for access to Saddam like CNN
did for nearly a decade. And that's just one example of one
issue, yet many on the left hardly lifted an eyebrow while
they continued to lambast FoxNews. Go figure.

On FoxNews, they seem to be pro-USA, but give both sides to
their stories far more often than most media outlets. I
think that is a good thing. I don't want only one POV
rammed down my throat, thank you very much.

Fox has strongly stood behind the rights of those who have
protested, including Hollywood's elite. They have however,
acknowledged that folks can freely express their opposition
to the protesters if they are so inclined. And yes, they
have shown the hypocrisy of many protestors when folks
question their motives based on their actions, words &
deeds.

FoxNews has not attempted to silence liberal critics or
even their own liberal reporters & anchors. In fact they
frequently have people on who are at odds on issues & give
equal time to both sides.

However, I understand that folks will see what they want to
see & hear what they want to hear. When it is contrary to
their POV & presented over media that has shied away from
the middle, let alone the right for so long now, well,
Katie bar the door!
