Nothing is wrong with it, I love it!!!! This guy is honestly so ignorant he doesn’t know any better than not to do it and it is crushing his ratings, the sad thing is he can see it is hurting his ratings and he is still bound and determined to focus attention on them, this is really better than prime time to watch him self destruct like this! And also, you should watch some type of news because Obama has already tried to silence FOX and anyone else who can get the truth about him out to the public, fortunately it didn’t go well for him!

1) Fox “News” is not a news organization
2) Fox has an agenda and they are finally being outted for it
3) “Fair and Balanced” is a red herring
4) Yelling at your guests is not an interview
5) Being blantantly biased is not being a journalist

It might not be that Fox News is against constitutional rights, it is that they have their own interpretation of those rights. They want them applied in a specific fashion. If other people and groups are doing as they are, then Fox needs to shut them down. Fox News has the option to show only what benefits them, which s not what a ‘news’ organization would do.

The why of you question would be simply answered as “those in charge of Fox News want it this way”.

As for the viewers, it is clear that there is a huge political divide in the US. This is their channel and they will defend it because they see it as their only voice in the media.

Its all really too bad that this has all happened. Personally, I see Fox News as that TV station in the Robocop movies.

hey TOP CONTRIBUTOR:
“And you would have felt that same way if Bush and his crew said the same thing about MSNBC?” blah blah BLAH

so.. want to know a secret..

HE DID.. catch up on your reading.. BUSH DID.. just 2006 bush ONLY invited right wing radio hosts.. AND august 2007 AGAIN did it (even with the worst.. GLEN BECK!) MSNBC and other ’slanted’ liberals WERE NOT INVITED!

BUT you probably wont believe me..
being a republican and all..BUT! even on fox news (when interviewing one of bush’s administrative staff) admitted “well towards the end we didn’t really involve MSNBC”

It’s the fact that they are only talking this way about the news organization which does not agree with them while also saying things (to paraphrase) about how they hope other media outlets don’t follow in FOX’s footsteps. To me it’s like saying if you don’t agree you are not legit and the rest of you better keep talking about how I give you tingles up your leg when I speak or we’ll come for you too.

Is this a “Fair and Balanced” question?

And you would have felt that same way if Bush and his crew said the same thing about MSNBC?

But I do think it is fair to point out that IF Bush DID say the same kinds of things about MSNBC, the Republicans would be saying something much like you are saying now.

It’s called abuse of power. You have no clue as to Constitutional rights nor does Obama. He has specifically stated and written that he dislikes the Constitution. The Constitution specifically guarantees the rights imbued in individuals by their creator and gives the government basically two responsibilities: defense against threats both foreign and domestic and settling disputes among the States. Fox News has news shows and commentators, don’t confuse the two. If you don’t watch Fox News, you’re not getting ALL the news.

Just what gives you the idea that Fox is against the constitutional rights of anyone ? it seems to me that Glenn Beck is preaching just the opposite, where the government is trying to stop and free thinking American from expressing his views.
Now, if he is so wrong, and the White House idiots say he’s wrong, why are they not using that private line, on the air to put forth their thoughts? Afraid of the tough questions that may require a truthful answer ?
