7. I wouldn't classify them as Fox News level.

They're more CNN level, imo. Just go to their site and read their stories, they're not that damn controversial or propagandistic.

But they are the only over the air TV station that has reporters which are present at opposition rallies and which cover opposition speeches. Without them the opposition has no over the air TV voice.

Whenever the President would give a big speech and Fox News wouldn't cover it, or whenever the Democrat would give a speech and Fox News would tune into something banal instead, we're rightly peeved at them for ignoring the event. That's what the chavista owned or boligarch controlled TV stations do.
