What's the dumbest/most evil thing you've seen on Fox?
A while back on their Saturday morning investing program, I saw something to the effect of, "How can you profit from a war with Iran?"

TOP THAT!

NO, on that one - unless your that fat Raymond guy with the $400 million retirement package.

one spot below your contribution, "Jimmy Carter to blame for high gas prices?"

17. adding another thing--"Fox and Friends" when i saw it i thought it was
a satire of a morning show, you know like "the Larry Sanders show" anyhow, i had some dental surgery and was on pain killers when it came on, imagine when i came out of my drug induced haze and discovered it was actually a show.

37. I watched that show one day not long ago for about 15 minutes
and all I got out of it was that the Mexicans are bringing diseases over the border and stealing our SS numbers once they get here.

That was honestly all they talked about for 15 minutes.

18. "Torture: What's the Big Fuss?"
There was some headline like that. The other one where it implied that civil war in Iraq could be a good thing was over the top as well.

19. The only show I've ever watched on that station is the
Greta Van Sustern show, only a time or two, and not in recent years. I just can't bear it--all of those ANGRY colors, way too bright, in their headers and tags, like a shiny toy for dipsticks who stop surfing because the color saturation is so profound.

21. Evil
Ann Coulter on Hannity and colmes to present a "fair and balanced" view of liberals/FAUX's political opponents.

It's like Captain Kirk being invited to talk about Klingons. He hated Klingons, so you know you wouldn't have gotten a balanced view of them.

On Rateitall.com, I compared having Coulter on to talk about liberals to having Hitler on to talk about Jews. I was criticized for comparing Coulter to Hilter. That's not what I was trying to say; I was simply saying that Hilter was no more balanced about Jews than Coulter about liberals.

22. Yes! Their Global Warming Is A Debate Special!
:puke:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200605190003

On May 21, Fox News will air a one-hour special, Global Warming: The Debate Continues, in which host David Asman will "speak with scientists who are skeptical of what they view as alarmist fears about climate change." Among the roster of contributors are several global warming skeptics with ties to the energy industry and records of misinformation on the issue. In each case, their statements or studies questioning global warming theory have been debunked or proven misleading by the scientific community. It remains to be seen whether Asman will inform viewers of these records or of their associations with institutions funded by companies that have a financial stake in opposing policies that seek to combat climate change.

Global Warming: The Debate Continues follows Fox News' The Heat is On: The Case of Global Warming, a November 13 special that was heavily criticized by conservatives. It drew attention from two divisions of the conservative Media Research Center -- CNSNews.com (here and here) and the Business & Media Institute -- and Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid wrote a column blasting Fox News for running the special.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a Washington, D.C.-based think tank heavily funded by corporate interests, asked Fox News to revise The Heat is On before it aired. As a January 16 Washington Post article reported, "The Competitive Enterprise Institute, which widely publicizes its belief that the earth is not warming cataclysmically because of the burning of coal and oil," says Exxon Mobil Corp. is a "major donor" largely as a result of its effort to push that position.

In recent months, Media Matters for America has documented numerous instances in which misinformation about climate-change issues has surfaced on Fox News (here, here, here, and here).

23. Fox News argees with the scientific community
They feel there is no more need to debate whether Global Warming is happening or not - only they have reached the opposite conclusion of everyone else. oops!

33. Carl Camerson during the Kerry campaign
was laughing about something Kerry said - that wasn't meant to be funny. The anchor was laughing too "He really said that?" And they both just busted a gut.

It was despicable. They were making fun of Kerry.

36. hands-down Hannity
they had the adjunct professor that resigned in protest of Condi on last night, and Hannity wouldn't let up on him. Completely belligerent, asking the guy if he voted for Kerry, and then dismissing him completely. It was a pitiful example of discourse and Colmes wasn't much better...
