So what if they do that? It's their news channel and they can run it any way they like. If they get the viewership, and they do, it is serving a purpose. Same goes for CNN and all the other mainstream national news networks.
Sounds like capitalism at its finest. If you're saying the rich don't care if they stick to the poor, you might be surprised at how many extremely wealthy persons in this country are Democrats.
Seems to be a lot on misconceptions going on here.
I never implied that they shouldn't have the right to broadcast what they want. I was simply pointing out that Fox is,
by design, the mouth-piece of the far right. At least in most other broadcast news the bias is, for the most part, unintentional. I only wish FNC had the balls to admit what it is; the propaganda arm of the RNC. It saddens and scares me a little to think that there are people who's only "news" source is FNC.
I don't care if people are rich, and I don't think that they should be made to shoulder a greater tax burden because they are rich, but rather because they can better afford it. A 5% tax increase on somebody with millions or billions isn't going to break them, but a 5% tax increase in somebody in my income bracket can mean the difference between being able to make a mortgage payment or not.

I'd say I'm a left leaning moderate.
I come from a Christian family, my dad was a vicar and he spent his whole life studying the texts. I also did some studies, but it turned me into an atheist. So where he found proof for his faith I found proof for it being a big man made hoax. But if you have studied the NT carefully you must agree to this: Calling another religion murderous isn't very "Christ-like"?
