    CNN also mislabeled Baton Rouge on that map. What a bunch of r****ds.

    Fox News wouldn't have screwed that up! That's why they are America's most watched cable news channel!

    Fox News is the most watched because the 50% of the country that voted for Bush watches Fox, while the 50% that voted for Kerry gets split between CNN and MSNBC.

    Yes, you are missing something. HOUSTON is in the wrong place on the map. The difference between CNN and FAUX newz is this was an honest, albeit completely stupid, mistake and not an intentional misrepresentation. If FOX made that error they would say it really is where they say it was and Dick Cheney would likely come on and back them up. O'Reilly would call us a bunch of liberal cry babies for pointing it out and Sean Hannity would accuse Bill White of a conspiracy to defraud the government by faking our true location. :rolleyes:

    Me too. I watch any news. Since I don't consider Fox news, I don't watch Fox.

    I wasn't going to respond, because I could care less. Fox is the only station I have found that allows both sides to represent. To me that's fair. I have never seen it on any other station. As a matter of fact, I was tired of getting force fed a democratic response. Not by those that serve in the house or senate, but by the news anchors. I'm not a far right republican as I don't necessarily agree with a lot of Bush's decisions, the same as I didn't agree with Democratic decisions of the past, but agreed with other decisions. Not often though.

    Who cares what would happen if Fox made the same mistake. The fact is that they didn't. It was a rookie mistake and I'm not going to go off on CNN. I find it funny that CNN makes a mistake, so you see it as an opportunity to bash Fox. This makes no sense to me.

    You mentioning people calling you a liberal cry baby doesn't surprise me.

    There is absolutely no way that Fox News shows both sides any more than CNN or MSNBC. I've actually found that MSNBC shows them better, but I think they're all pretty much deplorable. But saying that Fox News shows both sides while CNN force feeds the Democratic response is laughable.

    Take off your blinders man. This response is laughable.

    How so? Which reporters and anchors do you find on CNN or MSNBC that force feed you the Democratic response?
