Once in awhile - but I prefer the BBC for my news. It is just the facts - no opinion.

I do watch Fox as I do CNN, NBC and ABC. I do not watch the CBS news, if I wanted to watch a talk show host, it wouldn't Katie Couric.

Joe you are so right about the BBC, I listen to them on Chicago Public Radio and on watch them on Channel 20 out of Chicago. I even get the BBC daily e-mail, their style is short and to the point.

I don't care for Fox news at all. Way too skewed for me, and not in a way I care for. I do watch several other news channels though. Some of them are also skewed, but they don't grate my nerves like Fox. The difference between Fox network and Fox news is insane.

Rarely, but on occasion. I think its important to know what they are saying, but I trust other sources more. BBC, DW and France24, together with PBS and ABC.

When there primary results, I watch FOX, MSNBC, and CNN by switching back and forth. Other then that, no.

I don't watch Fox News. I go through a lot of news sources during the day and Fox is to overt in their support of a particular political view to be fair and balanced or we report you decide or whatever the Fox motto is now days. So I vote on Fox News through my TV remote.

I love Fox, The other cable channels have maybe 1 conservative, usually a more moderate/centrist type, in the mix of the very slanted liberal commentators. If Fox is slanted to the right, the the ratio of liberal to conservatives is far better, than the conservative to liberal ratios of the mainstream media, and the other cable channels. Which makes them the more balanced station.

Nope - they're too loud, too arrogant, too much about themselves. They're terrified the Democrats might actually gain power and so act like spoiled children and make up lies about anyone who doesn't have the same opinion they do. :-)

You bet! Want to hear Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannity's talking points, watch Fox News -- or is it the other way around?

Here is my position with Fox, those that enjoy it can watch it as for me I take offense to calling Michelle Obama, "baby's moma" which is a sterotype of the worst kind along with the wearing of a simple neck scarf in a donut commerical as related to terrorism. Those that enjoy that type of reporting are certainly free to watch it, but for me I rather not be bothered with stuff like that.

Jerry Yes we can, Yes we DID, YES WE WILL! P. Jun 14, 2008, 11:41pm EDT

My opinion:

Fox News is incredably biased toward the right wing agenda.
CNN and MSNBC are moderately baised toward liberal agenda.
All three of these channels are "pundit" channels who are not afraid to tell you what to think.
If you want to think on your own, consider watching those channels suggested above. Even they can be biased by not telling you everything, but at least they are not giving you their opinions. Just like you should diversify your inventment portfolio, you should also acquire news from several different sources, and stay away from those who would give you their opinions.

Not usually....we usually watch NBC...I think. Without cable, we don't have that many choices.

Faux is Rupert Murdock's private propaganda organ, and therefor has an elitist, conservative bent. The most biased anywhere.

Because only the truly dumb listen to lies and fold them into their belief system gleefully?

Fox $$$$ is a propaganda outlet. A good place to see what is being sold in the Branding of a Political Sell. Like the present Brand: Maverick.

Yes, less emphasis on Hollywood and much more on actual news.

I love Fox although I do watch other news stations too. I like the fact that they have people from all side on the shows. It is quite amusing to watch some of the debates at times.
