12. That is correct.

They know full well that if you tell the big lie their viewers will believe it is true.

8. I don't think they actually "fall" for this stuff

I just think they are dedicated to using anything, no matter how big a stretch it is.

But, I could be wrong.

of Muslim Culture but not the WORLD WAR II VETS???

OH YES, AND THE Democrats are doing the HAPPY DANCE, for this Republicans!!

FALSE OUTRAGE for FOX news ratings... They are beyond Disgusting... I wish I could say what I really wanted to say, but

I am far too polite to do so.

13. The Fl. supreme court

declared in a lawsuit against faux "news" in Fl., that fox was not responsible to truthfully "inform" their viewers. Lies are perfectly legal...

11. It costs nothing to keep it open

Typical non-thinking on the part of the I want mine crowd.
The Park service makes sure the parks and memorials are clean, safe and protected from vandals among other things. They are also there to provide information, crowd control and emergency assistance. As soon as something goes wrong Faux would be the first to scream to high heaven, “How could this happen?”.

Why are they there in the first place? This didn't come as a surprise.
I didn't hear anyone complain “How can congress be so irresponsible for not doing its job?”, only “Why can’t they make an exception for ME?”
