This is so... I don't know... there are no words.
Well, I've got words. But I'm preaching to the choir. And if you agree with any of those teatards, there's no hope for you. Seriously, I'm not going to be able to say anything that sounds remotely sane to you.
Do I need to remind everyone of the study that showed Fox news viewers were less well-informed about things that people who didn't watch or read any news at all?
“The more I looked at it, I have come to the conclusion that Fox is not as fair and balanced as I thought. They shade the truth also.” I just don't understand how someone - anyone - can believe that Fox News is fair and balanced? It was started with the express purpose of being a conservative news outlet. It is more conservative than the other news outlets are liberal. Now, if your idea of "balanced" is to balance out the other news outlets, well fine, you might have a point. But your entire statement indicates you just thought they were telling the plain truth.
You're demanding that Fox investigate Obama's birth certificate? I think Fox is smarter than you.
"conservatives are conservative because they are not stupid,” Um, no... being smart or stupid has no bearing on whether you're liberal or conservative.
Now granted, this is a small group, that is being reported on. It almost doesn't warrant the attention they're getting. But they're not too far off from most conservatives. And by "most," I mean the large majority of that half of the demographic.
