Maybe I am on the wrong site (wonder if Darrell knew he was gonna attract all you wild-eyed liberals when he started this thing)

I am not crazy about Bill Oreilly, he can't get on my nerves, but my goodness, the good he does far outweighs his negatives. Were it not for FOX news, how much would the Obama administration gotten away with? Think Solyndra, Van Jones and on and on. There is a reason why they are the number 1 rated cable network in the country.

I always hear all of this criticism, but never anything substantial about something they have done wrong or reported wrong. The couple of times that they have gotten something wrong, I have seen Oreilly apologize himself on air, something seldom seen on any other network.

I guess keep on hating, FOX will have more to report on!!

I have beef with pretty much every major news network and don't feel any of them are bastions of truth. Yet Faux News has, time and time again, proven that facts are not as important as getting some message out. There is a reason Faux News is pilloried daily on the Daily Show. Billo's show is not about news reporting, it's about whatever he feels he wants to rant on and on about. He is also seriously uneducated on many basic facts. I could literally spend all day proving the stuff about Fox and Bill all day via links from their own broadcasts but why bother? It's probably all an evil conspiracy to you anyways.

True also but it probably bears noting that the reason Fox has an intentional slant is to counter the demonstratable slant of the other outlets.

People really should focus on facts and not worry about slant- everyone has one.

Oh I know Daily Show is partisan.

Still, when it comes to facts Fox isn't the best and brightest.
