Fox news is the new 700 club. It's a steady diet of comfort food.


Funny dog videos are “comfort food”. Fox News is hate porn.


Please don't post unsubstantive comments here, especially not ideological flamebait. It just leads to crap discussion.

We've had to warn you a lot about this in the past. I appreciate that your comments have improved considerably. But please don't relapse. The temptations to post like this are only rising, and we all need to resist them.


Fox runs approx ~50% negative content on Trump. MSNBC run 92%+ negative [0] [1] [2]

If your view of Fox News was largely based from 2008 and The Daily Show - How could you know?

With a blanket statement like “Fox News is hate porn” you clearly aren’t seeking alternative viewpoints. This isn’t even getting into that you are lumping Fox NEWS and Fox News Channel Opinion Shows together which isn’t unfair to do so long as you do the same with CNN and MSNBC alike).

Just because Fox is 50% negative on Trump and MSNBC is 92% negative, doesn't mean in aggregate, Fox is less negative. There are other news topics, beyond Trump. Hard to believe, I know, but there are.

Parent comment was indeed terrible, but great-grandparent’s “Fox News is hate porn” started the ideological battle.


Ok, I'll reply to that one too.
