angry, hasteful, inneffective, and just plain bad.
but, just couldn't take it, i got fed up and scratched this garbage out in about two minutes, after reading about hannity doctoring howard dean's clip.

to Viewerservices@foxnews.com and Comments@foxnews.com

I don’t understand how you guys get away with the promulgation of all these lies and distortions. I’m so tired of hearing sean hannity and bill o’reilly lie to people and promote their “unbiased” opinions. While hannity counts down the days until bush’s reelection o’reilly makes up phony sources like the paris business review. I recently heard an audio clip hannity aired in which he doctored the original sound byte from a howard dean interview to make a point. DISGUSTING! Where is your integrity, you guys claim to be “FAIR AND BALANCED,” HA! My only regret is that I can’t make a difference in getting this propaganda off the air. I’m well aware that somebody will read this and I will probably receive some generic response from somebody hired to do so, while meanwhile the Head Honcho, rupert murdoch is sitting in some top floor office cutting checks to the RNC.



Waiting for my blood pressure to drop,

chris

Take your dyazide. And avoid watching Foxnews. I click through it like it's a hot coal I don't want to step on.

2. "I click through it like it's a hot coal"
Imagine if we could get a poll in this manner....

Cable boxes that are able to detect when the channel is changed...

Have them monitor the changes when specific markers are sent out... such as... when a shrub ad comes out... or when he gives an address... things of this nature.

I feel that I have failed if I let him get our more than 3 words before I get the channel switched.

If we were to have such a system... it would ACCURATELY detect how many viewers won't even let him get two words in.... and thus present a "fair and balanced" look at how people truly feel.

4. A lawsuit charging Pox News with deceptive advertising
has been filed and will undoubtedly start churning its way through the courts.

Moveon.org was one of the plaintiffs, so they'll probably have updates from time to time
