Most news stations are pretty biased, but fox is one of the worse i think.I'm inclined to disagree. Their most popular shows (Oreilly factor and Hannity and Colmes) have equal distribution of Conservative and Liberal commentators/analysts. Hannity and Colmes is a good example. You have a god-fearing Conservative and then you have Alan Colmes. Though some people argue that Colems is a "fox news" liberal which is a matter of opinion between people. Hell, you have the "MSNBC conservative".
Either way they try to get a statement from both sides. While still biased I disagree with them being the worse (I believe MSNBC to be the worst)

I think I get what you're saying - we should start calling football soccer, and start calling soccer football.I admit, as an American, it seems wrong, but it does make the most sense. I can put aside my illogical patriotism.
I cannot agree more about Rugby though. Why isn't that shit broadcast primetime here in the States? FOX already has a show where people destroy each other emotionally (The Moment of Truth), why not have a show where people destroy each other physically, too? It'd be just like regular football, whoops, I mean, soccer, except without all that wimpy gear. The ratings would go through the roof! And maybe, just maybe, we could actually see a person die on TV. I know it doesn't usually happen in Rugby, but we Americans, we gotta go overboard, don't we? I think if we did, someone would die. And that would be awesome.
Not quite what I was going for but, it would work. I never liked American Football the players are cocky, paid way too much and a player is in the news every time you turn around for drugs or beating their wife/girlfriend. I just like rugby plain and simple. If my school had a rugby team I would have joined immediately.
European football - Football
American Football - Grid Iron or something else
@Angelus: Yeah, we southerners tend to get a little friendly with everyone though you don't see that as much in Cities like Atlanta where there is a high number of northern transplants.

Wow I'm more surprised that people still have energy to attempt to carry out assassinations in this day and age.. Just wondering.. does his vote still count or is it vetoed in case he voted for McCain?
This happened several months ago. The papers are just being released when the media reported on it. So no, his vote doesn't count because he never had the opportunity to vote on the presidential race and he losing his ability to vote by becoming a convicted felon.
It's alright (I haven't been watching it lately). I miss The Screen Savers and Call for Help. I liked The Screen Savers more technology oriented approach. Attack of the Show just seems like a weak attempt at capturing the awesomeness of TSS while trying to be crazy and whacky at the same time.
Oh look Kevin and Oliva are doing something Silly. Oh isn't that just...great.

It's all the Frenchy's fault. And I think international news can be good about international affairs. Things like war and foriegn trade or world economy. Not on domestic issues. Besides, if foriegn press is report on US domestic issues, they are really just being pricks.
You have a point. Though war will always be unpopular except for the two groups that are fighting since each have a cause they use to rally around. Everyone else will think it's pointless even though it's a necessary evil.

You don't play real Football, although neither do we Americans. And at least you play rugby. The whole "football vs soccer" thing is so confusing.
Americans call it "soccer." The rest of the world calls it "futbol." What we call "football," the rest of the world calls "American football."
Why not just call the game with the round ball "soccer" and call the game with the huge shoulder pads "football"? That way, all over the world, they would have the same name?
Or maybe overseas, they can call basketball "handball," and really make things confusing.
In American Football we don't kick the ball or use our feet that much during the game unlike Soccer. So logic dictates that Soccer should actually be Football and American Football should come up with a new name. That or we can just say fuck it and everyone can play Rugby!

And you should try to watch international news as well, if you are American. Outside views can be helpfull to add to yr overal understanding.I never understood the point of foreign opinions or reporting on such things like our laws, our elections,etc. I don't tell the French, the Canadians or any other country about how they should run their country. Though I do watch how other countries handle their problems and consider it for here but, the demographics are too different. Free Health care in Canada works because most Canadians are healthy to begin with. While a majority of Americans are fat lazy bastards but, that is a different argument for a different thread.
I always wondered why people pronounced it like fox when the phrase is Faux Pa.

The word faux is said foe. Not sure if that was the pun you were aiming for, but either way, I think it's an acurate enough discription. Although, all news is at least slightly biased, it's collected and reported by people. So it would probably be best to watch several news networks to try to balance out the information. Or just watch fake news shows.
Well, I learned something. Faux is french for "fake". That and people read Faux as Fox which is what they intend. Though since it's pronounced like foe it take away one level of the joke.
Though I agree, used several media outlets to get the full story (even the ones you hate because you have to get their side to come to intelligent conclusion)

You're right that one shouldn't be surprised, but I do think that it's about time people got their heads clocked so that they can see past fucking skin color. Quoting the kevjumba, we gotta have more interracial babies so that when people try to classify you, they can't.In this day in age. Having an interracial baby is dooming them to be outcasts. Sure, they will fit in between their races but, neither one will fully accept them. A mix child (black/white) will be looked down upon by Whites as being lazy with an entitlement complex. While the black community won't trust them,etc. It's absurd that there are people who look at skin tones and judge people but, it's human nature to judge those who aren't like you.
It's too soon to make everyone join hands and act like a happy rainbow. Especially with people like spike lee damning white people every time you turn around (I'm sure there is a while equivalent but, I can't think of it off hand). Until these troublemakers are dealt with then the problems won't go away.

Fox News is crap. I feel bad for anyone who believes what they watch on that channel.The same can be said of any news channel from Faux to MSNBC (depending on perspective). MSNBC and CNN are known to lean left so there has to be something that leans to the right just for balance. Unless you want the fairness doctrine to be passed so the law can be used to silence those don't vote democrat.
Edit: I dislike Faux news just like a lot of us but, I will be watching Faux News when Glenn Beck starts his show on there (CNN wasn't happy with Beck so they let him go). Oreilly (orly?) and Hannity can go fuck themselves for all I care though.
So a commentator makes a dumb statement and fox is the one that says it? Just slap her on the wrists for making a stupid off hand comment and get over it. People have been saying stupid shit every time you turn around during this election.
Edit: I don't watch Fox News that often (Just Studio B w/ Sheppard Smith) other than that I watch CNN Headline News.

This isn't a surprise. I figured skinheads or some hate group would attempt an assassination. I'm willing to believe that they will keep attempting until he either crushes them (which would be the bad idea since they could turn it around as the "race war") or until they kill him.
When you seriously look at it you can't be surprised that a group of racists hate the idea of a person from a race they hate becoming the president of their country.

(if you haven't watched Sayanara Zetsubou Sensei skip this question) Which of the girls in the anime is your favorite?
Did you know Jacob or Raze before or after you became a part of Fakku?
Which should be the name of all collective fakku members? (Fakkers, Fakkuza, Fakkus,etc)
When you meet someone in real life that you don't like. Do you use your admin powers to make their heads explode?
Is jailbait worth it?

Boxers. The last time I wore briefs was before my nuts dropped and I became a man. Seriously, I don't understand how I could wear them even back them. Just thinking about it makes me feel like my nets are getting squeezed.
Anyone else notice that a man designed something that is so threatening to other men (zipper and it's "bite")? The hell man..
