I thought they should have
filed for bankruptcy BEFORE we
gave them billions of dollars

The same could be said for every news media on the planet, they have all gone to complete shit. You can't tell the difference between news stories and op ed, and those in all the dumb fuck blogging and you can't trust anything you hear or in a typefont. | |

Business: Illusions: Masks and Unique Accessories | Yay ![]() I don't watch any news stations, it's absurd and ridiculous. I am not kidding when I say I can flip through five channels in a row and every single one of them has the news on at the same time, covering the exact same stories even in the same order!!. Just pick your damn flavor. I get better world coverage here in the off topic forum ![]() Stupid news! ![]() Oh, yeah, and Fox is pretty comparable to LL in having my respect in their ability to make good decisions |

My Mood: | I don't really agree that they're all shit. I do tend to only hear that argument though from Republicans when criticisms of Fox news are brought up. As if that somehow validates and makes it acceptable for Fox to operate the way it does. |

Fox is protected under the constitution, just like Huffington's ridiculous blog and Michael Moore's lying ass. I exercise my constitutional right not to watch or listen to any of them. You can, too. | |
