Is it me or does Fox get a pass on their lies, hatred and racism. Why doesn't Obama and other Dems call them out on it whenever they get a chance? It seems to me that Fox is a major reason for the anger and hate going on in our country today. Their 24 hour hate machine just keeps on chugging along and nobody seems to want to do anything serious to stop them. I don't get it, when do we fight back against Fox?

Fox is not News. It is an arm of the Teabagger Wing of the Republican Party. It should be ignored by all reasonable people.

Fox News 6pm special report got 1,689,00 viewers. Same night each of the 3 broadcast networks at the same hour drew far greater viewership, CBS on the bottom with just about 6.5 million and ABC nearly tied with NBC with 7.8 million viewers each and change. So collectively the Networks had about 23 million viewers while Fox News had less than 2 million.
Fox News is not as major as they tell you they are. Numbers don't lie. Niche market,

People are still watching broadcast news, both local and national.
