No that's not what I was asking you.

I accept opinions as opinions and news as news. Fox News offers both.

I am an Eagle Scout and have done much for the community, the environment and my country, I would appreciate if you did not call me a "lazy citizen".

I accept opinions that I agree with. But I give all opinions a chance.

Do you accept Rush Limbaugh's opinions? Do you at least think about it before you decide it is wrong? Probably.

Now I will ask again, what is wrong with me watching/listening to people who I agree with?

And uh yes they where both very easy questions. Here I'll give you the answers:

1. nothing

2. no

You did get the second one right, good job.

Are you going to tell me what to watch now?

If you can't think of anything to reply to, then don't reply at all. Just a suggestion.

The oppose button isn't for grammar corrections, it's for debating.

Good thing I have the freedom to watch whatever "BS" I wan't.

It's amazing to me how people(not you necessarily) that are not against bad language and sex on TV and Porn are so worried about opinionated right wingers poisoning my mind.

I don't care. I would really appreciate it if you didn't tell me what to do.

Let's go ahead and not tell me what to do. I will do as I please, thanks though.

You didn't seem to worried about staying on track when you picked out that one small error instead of replying to what I said.

Okay, good point but I still don't think fox news is unashamedly pandering.

You have to admit it's at least not as bad as MSNBC and all that crap. I'm sure you never watch that.

Hey, even if Fox News was unashamedly pandering to me(whatever that means) what are you so worried about!? I don't plan on changing my views any time soon and I didn't get those views from TV so I mine as well watch something I agree with.

Since you are so concerned about an adult watching the news, I can assume that you are against bad news and language on TV. Kids might watch that stuff.

I don't think Fox has this filter you are talking about. Like thepyg said they report everything, which is fair. Then they have balanced discussion on the issues.

Do you not see other news channels as guilty as Fox, if not way way way worse?

If not then I think you have an ideological filter.

Thank you for saying all of that. I couldn't agree more.

Even If Fox News wasn't fair and balanced (which it is) why does anyone care!? Other News channels admit to being partisan but nobody crying about that. Look at what MKiced said. Fox is not completely conservative but even if it was it would balance everything out.

People, you don't have to watch anything you don't like. You watch your CNN, msnbc, NBC, ABC news, etc, and we will watch Fox News.

I said:

key word: which it is

There is no contradiction.
