Of course, since it's news, they sensationalize it and make it seem like a bigger deal than it is. "Someone think of the children" sells, after all. But I wouldn't call this report all that inaccurate. I mean, yeah, Fox News is a joke and we all know that, but I don't really see the big deal here.
You don't see a big deal in asking obviously loaded questions like "Xbox a sex predator paradise?"
Sex predator paradise? Seriously? That's not overstating things, just a tad? Utopia for sex predators! All you need is a 360 and a credit card! Could they be any more alarmist?
This is the stuff of parodies, and it is not meant to be, which is a problem.

I really, really want obama to pass a bill closing down this news station.
freedom of speech is (not) a *****. Tell me would you like it if someone(me for example) was trying to deny you yours, if not then can it. cause thats basically what you want obama to do. and news flash They have a right to tell the news the way they choose even if you disagree(and don't get me wrong I think this shit is ridiculous personally)
This would be true, if they weren't so irresponsible in their reporting. I know it is nothing new to hate on Fox, but flat out lying to the public and presenting it as news, as opposed to political commentary, ought to be banned, no matter the station. Freedom of speech doesn't mean there is absolutely no degree of responsibility involved.

[HEADING=1]THAT IS NOT FOX NEWS[/HEADING]
It is a local affliate station and in no way represents this Fox News [http://www.foxnews.com/] (<- the real one). Outside of about 6 hours in the day, they play sitcoms, sports games, and soap operas. There are other Fox affiliates that are liberal.
Such as?
But more importantly, why do the politics of the station even matter? It wasn't mentioned in the OP anywhere. This is just irresponsible reporting, no matter what their "bias" is.
