I always thought Fox news was a scetch show, pushing right wing facist parody to the limits.

Despite only representing a minority(?) of the USA public, it does appear on just about every 4 star hotel tv world wide. What's even more scarey is that it's strangely addictive in an ironic/moronic way.

Fox News was the only US news network I could find on TV. .

Yeah, and one lb i knew was interested in news from other parts of the world, and she was left with this. She had no idea what i was talking about trying to explain why she shouldn't watch it. She just said " it news from america, why not?"

It's revolting, and it's hardly news. It does not speak for all Yanks.

I agree, but its scary how many americans watch it and consider it as fair and balanced news. Maybe not New Yorkers or Californians, but Bubba and his wife/cousin Sammy Jo in Kentucky take it as facts.

I am just waiting for Fox news to run a telethon to raise more money for the rich. Oh, perhaps that is what they are doing now.

I also hate Fox Noise. We must be a bunch of liberal commie pinkos here. CNN use to be widely available in Thailand until the last coup. They don't seem to have recovered from that...

At least you didn't say "liberal commie pinko fags".

whew.

can't say I agree. Most media is very liberal so fox being neutral (not including Beck, which is not news,) it seems very right. If you choose to get your news from comedy central, to each his own

Comedy central is as good as the rest if not better. Sometimes presentation is everything IMHO.

It's not an illusion...it is very far to the right. You must be part of the 1%

I long for the days when news organizations weren't so politically motivated. Maybe it never existed anywhere other than my memory.

Well at least were not all liberal commie pinko fags

I've heard Fox called some things, but never neutral before.

I think Aljazeera is the pick of the international news stations.

Jayarr, don't miss this splendid and rare opportunity to agree with the Yanks!

I'm a little stunned to see someone say Fox News is neutral. In the UK we have a slightly more subtle version of Fox News in Sky News, which would be more plausable being labelled neutral, but even then it would need a little stretching of the facts. As an outside to the USA viewing fox along side the world news networks it comes across as one of (if not the) most to the right.

Travelling around you get to see a lot of new channels and the only one which regularly crops up and appears neutral and of a high quality is Al Jazeera.

I always get the impression that a lot of people in the west think Al Jazeera is evil, associating it with terrorist and 9/11 - partly because their name sounds like Al Qaeda and has funny writing, and partly because it is usualy the network which gets to broadcast the Taliban video releases first
