    I don't watch alot of the news channels but i would rather watch fox cover a slanted news item then turn on CNN and get inundated with the "Black in America" and "Latino in America" crap. This morning @ 8:30 or so while Fox was doing a some boring H1N1 crap, CNN spent 10 minutes promoting their Latino in America junk.

    I used crap in 2 different spots. I am going to assume you are asking about the CNN crap and not the foxnews crap.

    because it is not news. I want news. You guys are riding on Fox because of the commentary, at least they keep the commentary to the night time when i have more important things to watch.

    In the morning i want news, not bs. And yes i watch both channels in the morning. I flip to get to news i want to hear.

    Both of those programs are from CNN air at night. Now if the promo was during the daytime, then thats a different thing. You just tuned in during that time. I still dont understand the crap part of it.

    That H1N1 probably wasnt crap either, thats a serious news subject.

    it was a very long "promo" if that was it. It was over 10 minutes long, glad that there is nothing else happening that they need to report on.

    I call everything crap, because it usually it. If it is stuff i don't plan to ever watch, it is crap. I could care less about "Black in America", "Latino in America", "Asian in America" , "Maori in America", "French in America" therefore Crap.

    How can that be? Fox is not a legitimate news network, they cant possibly be covering a legitimate news item. The irony. :hihi:

    Irrelevant to lying about the coverage that existed.

    if Fox is "not a legitimate news organization" then i dont have a problem with them saying it. i would think the best thing to do would be completely ignore them, though.

    i think its pretty hard to define what "legitimate" means but they can certainly back it up with tons of times they blatantly abused the use of quotes. i just dont know if Fox does it more than others.

    i dont get how conservatives can handle fox because of hannity and bill o though. they have completely taken all value from the words "great american" and "patriot". i could swear i heard hannity call someone a "great american" because they rolled down the window after farting in the car.
