I stopped watching the cable news programs over a year ago. I found them to be one sided. I first started watching CNN while Clinton was in office. I realized that this channel was just a RAH RAH suporter of the Clinton Administration, thus the nickname Clinton News Network (CNN).
I watched MSNBC for about 3 months and although I tried to "get into it" I found them to be totally absurd in their reporting.
I switched to Fox News (FNC) because I agreed with the conservative aspect of the reporting.
Now I hear from Liberals all the time that Fox news should be taken off the air because it supports the Republican party. What about all the other networks that Kiss the liberals asses?f Should they be taken off the air also? CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, MSNBC . . . that would leave a very boring line up.
I do agree that Fox news does lean more right. But this is a good thing. It is nice to have a dialog that can be debated rather than straight left "reporters" with an agenda.
I think that most of America appreciate the Fox news network for this. Week over week the ratings tell the story.

MSNBC HARDBALL 604,000
O'Reilly comes in first 90% of the time. I laugh at MSNBC with talk show host Keith Olbermann, and Chris Mathews of Hardball. This is a failing network. Check out the ratings for yourself. With the exception of Sean Hannity of Hannity and Colmes, I think most others on this channel are right leaning independants. Alan Colmes, is by far a Liberal. This show is great because you get to see both sides of an issue and the guest vary from far right to far left.
What do you think. I know that stats on this blog love to be ignored and there will be wicked arguments that Fox news is a Bush pupet organization etc....

Army Veteran- Married with children- Graduated CMU with Masters Degree- I am a Republican, a moderate Republican. I believe in small Government, I believe in low taxes, I believe in capitalism. I believe in a representative government. I believe in tight immigration. I am Pro-2nd Amendment, Pro- Death Penalty. I am against abortion as a means of birth control but favor it in the case of rape, incest, or if the mother or baby are in serious threat. I believe that stem cell research is a must but not something that the government should fund. I also believe that embryonic stem cell research should not be done. Life begins at conception. I am not a religious person, but believe that everyone has a right to be. I do not believe that religion or the so-called “intelligent design theory” should be taught in public science classes. This is not a science. If comparative religion is taught at a public school, that is fine, as long as it is not taught in science, and make sure all belief systems are taught and compared. I am against Racial and Sexual discrimination and therefore am against Affirmative Action in hiring and school admissions. I am against same sex marriage (and also a constitutional amendment to ban them) but in favor of civil unions. I believe that Unions are what’s wrong with American workers today, not globalization. The socialistic “Robin Hood” attitude of these unions hurt today’s educationally advanced culture of workers. The unions have become nothing more than a political action committee in favor of pushing a platform that favors Democrats and bashes Republicans. I believe that the ACLU destroys our rights more than protects them. I believe that security and safety is our number one priority. Capitalism will take care of our economic concerns. I once considered myself a Regan Democrat. Now I consider myself a Moderate Republican. I want to distance myself from the vitriolic Democrat party because I think that they have no clue as to what many mainstream Americans hold dear. I also do not agree with the far-right Conservatives when it comes to governing this nation according to their religious beliefs. I am not a one-issue voter. I try to judge every candidate on every issue and vote accordingly.
