Here's an idea, why not do your own research, and in turn, fight your own battle?

Seriously "help me with my project." Are you going to set up a PayPal account to accept donations for your arts and crafts?

Here's one. Can you believe Fox has numerious committed Democrats as hosts and generally gives the opposing view a 1:1 ratio, unlike MSNBC. Seriously, I doubt you've ever even bothered to watch it, so intolerant.

Uh.... Okaaaaaaay...

This is what happens when you rely on Fox News as your exclusive source of news:

Actually, it doesn't sound like you are reading the OP with an open mind. The problem is with people that use Fox News EXCLUSIVELY as their news source. I know lots of people that do the same, and it leads to all kinds of inaccurate information being proliferated. The same would be true if someone was using an extremely liberal-biased news source exclusively as well, but I don't think any of the major media outlets are as far to the left as Fox is to the right.(Every news story has some bias, but not to the same degree) Either way, I don't think anyone should use a single news source, particularly in this day and age when multiple sources are literally at your fingertips. I don't automatically trust any single news story to be correct, and usually verify controversial findings either from the source or from multiple reports. To depend on one source, particularly one as biased as Fox News, is basically putting yourself into a state of willful ignorance. Or to put it in the popular terminology, becoming one of the often criticized "sheep" that mindlessly follows their particular herd.

I think you should just mock the advertising on Fox News. It tells you everything you need to know.

Because it has made him a fuckton of money.

The Daily Show is another great lampooner of Fox News. See last week's "Chaos on Bullshit Mountain" for starters.

You confuse anything that doesn't conform rigidly with what you believe to be "spin."

Fox News would report the earth is flat if it thought it would hurt Obama. It traffics in outright, shameless, and demonstrable lies. Deliberately.

It does not follow that professional journalists pursue an active agenda of disinformation just because your heroes behave this way. That's just a delusional fantasy beyond all comprehension. Are you one of these people who demand to know why the national media isn't reporting about some community college professor in podunk Florida demanding her students swear allegiance to Obama? As if that's news?

The professional media is imperfect. It spends too much time covering superficial crap for one thing. It is subject to herd mentality for another. But there's not some active agenda to "get" conservatives, whereas Fox behaves exactly that way. For the life of me, I can't understand why Fox hates America so much that it spends so much time tearing it the fabric of our nation. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the owner and founder is a foreigner. Maybe the question really is: Why does this Australian hate America?

Maybe if they see all this nonsense in one lengthy list, they will start to realize that this crap never actually pans out and perhaps they should look for real news!

I'll start:

Most recently, they accused Obama of remaking the US flag because his campaign was selling a poster that had an O in the blue field instead of stars, and it had stripes. Flag experts (VFW) determined it's not a violation of the flag code (which is a ridiculous freedom of speech infringement anyway) because it shares no actual features: does not have 50 stars, 7 red stripes or 6 white stripes. And it's a poster - not a flag.

Accused Obama of dissing Netanyahu in NYC. they should have watched Netanyahu's interview on meet the Press where he says that it was just a scheduling conflict and that Obama has met with him more than any other world leader and that he appreciates that.

Republicans have no problem, however, cutting a hole in a flag and wearing it as a poncho:


And Republicans would be more believable on Netanyahu if they could actually attract Jews to their party.

Oh gosh, this would be a massive long list. How about how they ran a photo of Obama speaking with a man dressed as a pirate as proof that he was too busy to talk to Netanyahu because it was talk like a pirate day. Actually the photo was from 2009.
