52. whether we like it or not, they're considered a major news network
I agree that they report on nothing more than propoganda, but the problem with dismissing them is that they are rarely held accountable when they screw up royally.

Cameron is the chief political correspondent for the network. He wrote a fake story using fake, homophobic quotes about Kerry, and the network reported it. This is unacceptable.

Millions of people get their news from Faux so we can either dismiss the network and go on allowing them to do stuff like this, or we can finally hold their feet to the fire and hit hard enough to make them realize they have a responsibility to tell the truth. The first step is to demand that Cameron gets fired.
