    Fox is objectively worse then MSNBC, or any other news show.
    There is a reason it can't be called News in Canada. Why Rupert change what the show is depending on the court case. Sometime sit's news, and sometime sit's entertainment.

    Which isn't to say MSNBC can't be better.
    AS far a political reporting goes, NPR is the best.
    Yeah, yeah, someone is going to scream liberal, but I have been paying attention to the questions they ask any politician, and the difficulty of the question is the same for any politician.

    Because the pubs use FUD to get what they want, not logic, science or whats could for the common person. Remember they are the group that still backs trickle down, even though i' proven not to work. How? by using the fear of people loosing their jobs.

    Yes, some will. Listen, you are completely ignorant of human nature, you have no clue about how people build up to taking an action, and you really need to stop stalking about it until you have read up.
