In that thread I argued that FOX should not be allowed to call itself news. I really don't know why this is so controversial.
I've started thinking of Fox News as an even shadier version of The 700 Club. It's only a matter of time before they start guilting people into donations.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

 in a nutshell comes down to the right wing not wanting to hear the truth.
:roll:

I'll just share a scripture, Matthew 7:5: "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye."

Heh. Good point.

Let's go with Lemmingistism.

Fox doesn't need donations because it lives off of welfare. Every person who pays for cable or satellite is forced to pay for Fox, even if they never watch it. And Fox charges the second most expensive fee of all channels, right after ESPN, even though its quality is manifestly the worst.
