Why won't FoxNews die? Really, why won't it?
Because Rupert Murdoch is, in reality, Nazgar the Everliving, the scourge of the lands of men, the eternal sorrow, the shadow lord of fallen Atlantis.

He can't die, he can only destroy.
Not true, we just need a transvestite to stab him.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, look at anything Fox News has made. They are full of bias and don't research their topics.
Give them more credit than that, they research their facts... only, where a reputable news agency would research their facts with an intent of providing an even-handed representation of the issue that best reflects the interests of the all or the most heavily involved parties, Fox News researches their facts with an intent to spin them into one-sided half-truths whose ultimate purpose is to rile their ultra-conservative audience.
Well, all news media spins the truth to provide one-sided half truths, usually aimed against the sitting government. It is more interesting to provide "news" showing how incompetent the government is than to actually report on things that work well.

I kind of wish the pedophiles would have gone to Conservapedia for irony's sake.

But yeah, Foxnews takes one thing out of context to make it seem bigger then it is, and this video comes to mind...

No one likes talking to Fox anymore, so they have to make stuff up.

Here's a thought. Ban them or report them to the police.
This clearly requires rational thinking and intelligence, and therefore is not an option for Fox News.

The worse problem with news in general in that it's mostly sensationalism done to secure ratings (see: Newswipe [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4GiyyVKQQ] for an awesome humorous documentary on that) and when that's the case then serious reporting went the way of the dodo long ago.

However, with Fox News in particular there's a definite ultraconservative bias. They've been glossing over mind-numbingly creepy conservative wrongdoings while freaking out over every little thing that the liberals have been doing long before Obama came into power. This whole "Wikipedia, home of pedophiles" is another thing they like to do: fear monger, because ultraconservative interests stay in power primarily through fear, and thanks to this kind of reporting there's a goodly number of folk in America who think there's terrorists, communists, and pedophiles hiding behind every bush. These practices are why Fox News is openly disparaged on the Internet, nationally, and internationally, not to mention a ripe target for Comedy Network's writers.

The most charitable thing to say about Fox News is that they've simply picked a side and stuck to it, and since MSNBC decided to do that on the opposite end of the spectrum in response, that's more or less fair game: what would you like to watch today, greedy conservative false-patriotism or egotistical liberal snarkiness? Either portayal is limited by their steadfast insistence to remain on their side of the fence, and if you want want a fairly unbiased idea of what's going on in America your best best is to consult another country's news agency, such as the BBC, because money and political grandstanding has certainly thoroughly corrupted mainstream American news agencies.

Hmm...rational thinking and intelligence are just too rare these days...like an endangered species.

Ok, I know it's Fox, and therefore less reliable than a drawing letters from a bag to get an accurate story, but what do you guys think, has Fox gone just a step too far in the direction of tabloid journalism?
So, you've got some evidence on why this report is wrong, right? Or is this just the usual wave of Fox-news-must-be-wrong-because-it-contradicts-something-I-believe-for-no-good-reason?

Your defending a corporation that doesn't check their facts? I mean at one point they basically said "going to college will make you a liberal", oh the FML's that resulted from that.
