I'm sure the outrageous summer, with the lies about the health care
plan, Death Panels, has something to do with the decision to finally do
something.

What should they do, just let Fox continue to get more and more off base?

You would think the extreme death panel argument would drive people away
from the source. Just how far would they take making **** up?

Fox news is a "legitimate faction," according to Charles Krauthammer.

Faction: A group of persons forming a cohesive, usually contentious minority
within a larger group.

Sound about right. It's certain not much more than that.

Yeah, and if you take the viewership of all of the minority media put
together, it still can't touch FOX. Why is it you are so afraid of
opposition and real questions.. Remember, Hillary started the whole "no
access" thing back over a decade ago...

Why do you think I'm afraid of Fox? They're a tiny minority. They're not
even a decent shot with a shotgun.
