Some of it is, but they have some quality programming that takes on issues that no other mainstream network would touch.
There's another new show called Waters World that's great too. The guy goes along to universities to pick the students minds, and the vapid ignorance of these students is just mind blowing. I think it's good for this kind of thing to be showcased But yeah, there's shows like Fox and Friends that is pretty much just mindless Trump praise that doesn't tackle any issues and to me, that shits just as bad as the crap that CNN airs. |

the problem with shows that do that kind of "crowdsourcing" for idiots is they really only need a few idiots. you can find enough idiots to fill a 10 minute segment anywhere you go. that's why when jay leno did that shit it wasn't impressive
and no show on CNN does anywhere near the fellating that fox and friends does |

Like this shits priceless
I'm not dumb enough to think that it's presented in a non sensational way, but it's still hilarious and no other news agencies are doing it. There's almost sort of a rebellious edge that comes along with Fox news these days that I appreciate it. Some of it's dumb, but I find it hilarious. They're really sticking it to the liberal media which pretty much dominates the field. So they stand alone in mainstream TV in that regard. |

Yeah, there's still lots of cringe worthy shit on Fox News, but some of their top-rated programs are actually bringing the goods.

it's easy and meaningless. you interview 500 people and 20 of are super idiots and say something stupid and voila. it might be entertaining but it's not good journalism, innovative, or meaningful

Well, it's somewhat a reflection of what's actually going on in the culture... A lot of people with middle of the road to high IQ's have no idea that there's people out there actually like that.

And then they edit in the movie clips, it's comedy gold. Sensational, yes, but it's almost kind of punk rock in a way when compared to what these other stations air. Fox News just doesn't give a shit.

it's not punk rock fuzzy, it's sensationalist nonsense aimed at the lowest common denominator
and lo and behold, guess who thinks it's so cool that it's "punk rock" |

It's not that Fox news isn't truthful, it's that they take the Infowars approach. They specialize in reporting the type of things that the other mainstream sources won't. So it's not like they even try to be bi-partisan... Only difference is they don't pretend to be. Fox news is no different from what CNN and MSNBC do on the democrat side. The irony is that a lot of you guys won't admit it... Just like the nutjobs who won't admit it about Fox-news. |

That wasn't the best montage. He's way better now that he has his own show... But when I search him all I get are his old O'reily segments.

I mean, sure, a lot of it's probably crap. But Tucker Carlsons doing some good work, and even Sean Hannity's upped his game... Compared to shit like Rachael Maddow and Anderson Cooper, the Fox-News guys are the best. |

you could try getting news from a real source fuzzy instead of trying to compare shitty sources to justify your sucking the dick of the republican propaganda machine's personal network

Oh, dude, I definitely do.
I get all of my news from alternative sources. I only watch the TV shit for a little entertainment. |

I like Fox because I don't have the patience to form complex opinions and they always seem to say things that generally back my team up in an easy-to-repeat manner.
What I don't like is when people ask me to explain those positions. I get frustrated and begin to contradict myself, lean on fallacious reasoning to force the conclusion or just cop out altogether. |

What the hell do you know about American politics Buzz? Aren't you an Aussie? No wonder you hate Trump so much.

Why would being from a Commonwealth nation other than yours change anything?
Other things: 1. I am not Australian, no. 2. Trump would do well in Australia, where catering to xenophobia is a political must-do. |

I'm pretty sure there are several guys in Australia that never thought Obamacare was an insurance plan, on the other hand.
