Statements about Fox News not backed up

This is for all the whiners who are knocking Fox News. Surely you don't think that Glenn Beck, Bill O'Riley, Sean Hannity and Neil Cavuto are being told what to talk about on their programs?

Have you watched NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC? They do not even cover important stories such as ACORN. Whatever the New York Times prints, they use as their stories.

For eight years, we have listened to your bad-mouthing George Bush and yet today you still get your claws into him as often as possible. When health care eventually becomes run completely by the government, after they have run the private health companies out of business, when you find your taxes are more than ever before, when you realize that you are socialist instead of a Republic, you may wish you had watched Fox News more.

The most important question: Who told you that the people at Fox are told what to report? Years ago, you had to prove your statements. Today, assertions are made but never backed up with proof.
