I don't watch Fox. But I will say that those demanding our public representatives be held accountable for a $14 trillion dollar debt and to be more frugal in spending certainly isn't "voting against one's own self interest."
Where were they when Bush doubled the national debt? For that matter where were conservatives when Reagan and Bush 1 tripled the national debt?
Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush 2 were all captives of the same fate that we are still locked into today - entitlement spending.

Yeah, but Fox isn't giving Obama the daily proverbial blowjob so obviously they must be right wing. /sarcasm
I watch CNN HLN in the morning for Robin and Co. It's my favorite morning show. There are moonbats all over HLN, but I wouldn't besmirch the entire channel for the evening goons. ...then again, I'm not a mind-numb sheep like liberals.

Gad, that is sooooo stupid. A response is not even necessary. Fox is doing very well in the ratings, the liberal suck media is not.
WHY is it sooooo important to constantly attack Fox?
Here it is. The radical lefters want to be considered more center, so they need to portray Conservatives as more radical. You can see this in the coverage of the Tea Party. Sarah Palin. You can also see it when the lefters stake out the race card issue. Likening Herman Cain to Amos and Andy can't be racist because the lefter Jon Stewart does it. No one is calling that dumbassed comedian raciest. But if Hannity or Rush did something like that the Sh!t would fly.

The pimps have to keep the sheeple like Nut riled up so they give them boogeymen, I.e. Fox, Koch Bros, Wal-Mart, etc. If the pimps don't make the sheeple feel like victims of some evil shadowy figure, they'll lose their support. They can't survive without support. So, while we vote for people to get the hell OUT of our way, they vote the exact opposite, for the person or people that'll do something about those evil boogeymen.

Fox has news programing and opinion shows. Who has ever argued with you about that? Let me answer for you due to you propensity for lying. No one.

RE: Faux News
The ratings math is very simple.
Fox is the one outlet with a conservative bias. Therefore it gets 100% of the audience that is looking for a conservative perspective.
The rest all have a liberal bias. So the audience looking for a liberal perspective gets split 6 or 7 ways, or more. If you're clearly the best in you time slot, you might get 25% of your target audience. An admittedly liberal network like Air America fails because it isn't needed. Liberals can get all the left-leaning "news" they need from other networks.
I thought Fox was a brilliant marketing concept, to present the news from a perspective that was previously under-reported, and it seems to be working out well. What I'd like to see next is an attempt to 1) present the news from a truly centrist perspective, telling the whole story instead of just the parts that fit a particular narrative, and 2) provide more comprehensive global coverage, more about events going on in Greece or Somalia and less (if any) about Casey Anthony. I don't know if this can be done, given that any reporter brings his/her biases to the job--maybe you'd need dual anchors with different perspectives--and I don't know if America is ready for that, but I'd love to see somebody try. BBC and NPR do a much better job of reporting world news than any commercial US networks, but their biases are hard, hard left. Fox is probably the worst at putting sensational domestic stories ahead of substantive world news, though that is the Murdoch/Sky legacy.

And the Democrats voted for these spending increases all of time, they wanted to spend even more. Since 2006 the Democrats have controlled either 3/3 or 2/3 of the house, senate or executive.

Why do you care about Fox or any cable news opinion news program?
Why do you care about what programs others watch? Do you care because Fox is vastly more successful than the liberal show you watch?

This is why you are a loon.
Every conservative on here posts links to facts, numbers, figures that back up our belief systems. You never post sh!t. And when you actually do post something it's from freakin mediamatters.
There is not a debate to be had on this board where conservatives don't rip the sh!t out of any liberal here. That's just the plain fact of it.
Want to prove me wrong, actually start backing up the crap you say. Start with any subject and go from there.
