Well, first of all, it's nice to see that Fox 'News' is actually good for something...
Although 'free' might be an exaggeration, as you do have to pay for the video by sitting through an obligatory advertisment before you get to the good stuff...but that's OK...the part of my brain that processes commercials is just a big knot of scar tissue anymore. Anyway, you're on your computer, so you can use that time to do constructive things, like find and mark a few mines, or put the red seven on the black eight.

Now I wish those p0rn sites will take notice of this too.
Why do you hate freedom?
Research shows that the BBC is to the left of even the two most liberal senators in the US Senate. This makes it unsafe to watch. Also, it's funded by obligatory public subscription, which is un-American and almost socialistical.
Watch Fox news instead, where honest men and women tell it like they were told it is.
