Regarding Fox News, I challenge any of you to watch the first 10 minutes of Fox News tonight and tell me one thing that they say which you think is inaccurate or inappropriate. If you watch the first 10 minutes of the actual newscast, you won't see any huge difference between Fox and the other networks. I watch the news on several different channnels. You will pretty much see the same headline stories on each channel. You guys are dreaming if you want to believe the liberal propaganda that claims that Fox is somehow not a good news station. The newspeople at Fox are excellent. Let's take Chris Wallace for example. Wallace was with ABC news for 25 years before he went to Fox. His father is the liberal reporter Mike Wallace.
You guys aren't kidding anyone about Fox. Fox may be slightly right of center just as the other stations are slightly left of center. Overall, you get the same quality of news from Fox as any other channel. I actually prefer Fox because they are more straight-forward. You don't the political correctness from them.

Which Fox show's 10 minutes? The 7pm est show? I may take you up on that some day.
I don't watch a ton of news shows and prefer Lehrer/PBS.
The news is the news. The difference between networks is the "analysis" portion of their shows. This is where CNN will put on any former Bush Administration staffer who will say anything to sell a book. This is also where Fox will put on any old Republican who will, apparently, say anything for the sake of airtime (Am I wrong or have I actually seen Alexander Haig on Fox recently?).
The worst way I could imagine spending my time would be to watch any of the "News Analysis" shows like OReilly, Hannity, LArry King, etc...
