(75,480 posts)10. Hardly. Do you even watch it? I'll bet you watch a lot of Fox though.
Fox News does not do specials on the destructiveness of fracking, or global warming or the people of the rain forests in the Amazon, the genocide in Africa. There is a reason many of the dictatorships of Africa and the Middle East have banned their reporters, because they persist until they get to the truth, and they manage to get the stories out even in those countries like Syria where they have been banned.
