    Fox News get their arguments from political memes posted on facebook.

    You guys sure do care a lot about a news channel you claim to not watch. I hear more about Fox News from Fox News haters than I do from Fox News supporters.

    Not even close, idiot.

    It's currently 58%, which you may not think is a clear majority, but then again you're something of an Epsilon Semi-Moron, as documented prior; As you can see above at no time in the last few decades, even at the nadir, was there ever NOT at least a plurality, and mostly a majority in favor of tougher regulation of murderous, useless, death instruments. Unfortunately, due to the flaws of our system, sick ****s and dead enders who constitute that bottom <10% line have been allowed to control the debate. Looks like it's changing :)

    I like how you phrased this as some sort of implication of mine very own provinciality. I hate to break it to you, brah, but maybe you should travel north and west, and live a little, and you'll find a lot more people like me who laugh at and look down upon people like you, while flying over, than there are like you. Thank god (who doesn't exist...double :) )

    Why would someone who thinks Fox News doesn't air stupid biased news post about Fox News... Its a cable channel I have packaged with my subscription. Its a good comedy channel when Comedy central airs crappy stuff.

    yea I watch fox too. Its pretty funny so they are doing something right, not even close to being factually correct most of the time but its hilarious to watch them try to justify their arguments.

    I like their comedy hour special about the "War on Christmas." SNL can't top that.

    You don't need to watch Fox news. There are web sites that provide you with all the lies, er, highlights. While the Fox News anchors complain most about Media Matters, the most famous one is probably Newshounds, which says "we watch Fox so you don't have to!"

    http://www.newshounds.us/

    Funny that you complain about people being obsessed Fox News though. Seems the Fox News crowd has an obsession with other news sources. Fox News runs a daily "Media Bias" section on their web site front page. They have a regular commentator named Bernie Goldberg on to rant about how the media is biased against them and for democrats. They gleefully report on mistakes (real, perceived, or most times invented) made by non-Fox media people. And for years after he left the scene they have especially focused on Chris Mathews.

    I've never told someone to stop watching MSNBC simply because I didn't agree with what they were saying. Why? Because I'm not a child.

    Who told you to stop watching it? All we are saying is it is a crappy medium to receive information on current events.

    People use it as an insult, not as advice. Nice try though.

    Far worse insults I'm sure you ignored that go around the D&D than "HAHA you watch Fox News!"
