Fox News does what it's suppose to do, report the news in a fair and balanced way.
Feigning interest in heart wrenching stories doesn't make up for the fact that KO and the rest of the msnbc clan are nothing but maniacal , hate filled zealots who do nothing more than froth at the mouth against freedom and decency.
If they want to go wall to wall and just raise money for good causes, then do it. But don't try to use the misery of others to prop up your pathetic excuse of a failed news channel.

Poll: Fox most trusted name in news
Fox is the most trusted television news network in the country, according to a new poll out Tuesday.
A Public Policy Polling nationwide survey of 1,151 registered voters Jan. 18-19 found that 49 percent of Americans trusted Fox News, 10 percentage points more than any other network.
Thirty-seven percent said they didn’t trust Fox, also the lowest level of distrust that any of the networks recorded.
There was a strong partisan split among those who said they trusted Fox — with 74 percent of Republicans saying they trusted the network, while only 30 percent of Democrats said they did.
CNN was the second-most-trusted network, getting the trust of 39 percent of those polled. Forty-one percent said they didn’t trust CNN.
Each of the three major networks was trusted by less than 40 percent of those surveyed, with NBC ranking highest at 35 percent. Forty-four percent said they did not trust NBC, which was combined with its sister cable station MSNBC.
Thirty-two percent of respondents said they trusted CBS, while 31 percent trusted ABC. Both CBS and ABC were not trusted by 46 percent of those polled.
“A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news,” said PPP President Dean Debnam in his analysis of the poll. “But the media landscape has really changed, and now they’re turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear.”
The telephone poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

That doesn't mean they're Fair & Balanced. That just means a lot of morons think that they are. Just because Avatar is raking in the money at the box office doesn't mean it's a good movie. It just means a lot of people around the world have gone to see it.
I bet if you looked at the data of that poll you cited, the vast majority of those who said they trust Fox would be registered Republicans. Know why? Because Fox is biased towards them! And that still doesn't answer the original question posed as to what good deeds like this Fox has done. What good deeds have they done lately? Who have they helped out besides their advertisers?

Ahhh, Frem, I see. Very apt. He sure did, and it was fun to watch, and it was great to see some GOOD done by a pundit of any stripe! I choose Kropotkin over Darwin too (gawd I'm ignorant and unread compared to you guys! 
). But one question; didn't cavemen fight one another? Is that the origin of what we call "civilization", because I understood they waged battles among themselves and between groups. Maybe something in between Kropotkin and Darwin? I like it, tho'!
No problem Mike...tho' yes, SHAME on you! Forty lashes with a wet noodle! 
Now I, of course, NEVER assume, so I'm always right! 
Oo, oo, oo, River; he missed the very best one: They're inhabited by a bunch of JEWS: Stewart, Colbert...wow, he really IS slipping, isn't he??
Well, Mal, Quote:
You nailed it pretty close, didn't you?
I bet some folks will make an argument that isn't far from that in substance...
Some things/people are just too boringly predictable.
I'm glad I could bring you the news; yes, Olbermann has gotten way too pompous for my taste in recent years, I prefer Stewart by far. But since our lineup is Olbermann-Maddow- (then I switch to Comedy Central_ -Stewart-Colbert, and the rest of TV SUCKS at that time, that's often my evening's enjoyment. You're missing VERY little, not having a TV--but you probably already knew that! Gawd bless DVDs, which is where I spend most of my viewing time!
It's been fun to watch. He was shocked at the response to the Sioux thing, it was fun to see how surprised he was. The health clinics were kinda fun, too, except disheartening. They drew over 1,000 people each day, had to rush a few right to the hospital, they were in such dire straits, and the doctors and nurses who volunteered their time were blown away by how many needed help, had needed help for so long, and had to come there to get it. Very poignant, and very worthwhile. And it felt good to help make both things happen, in our own little way.
Ahhh, I see the infant has joined us once again. I'm going to ignore him unless he has something of actual value to say 
(like that will ever happen! 
). He's not even any good at provocation, now that I get the picture. Just pathetic...hardly even humorous, he's so inept.

I'll rephrase my statement. Anyone who thinks that any MSM news organization is fair and balanced will believe anything.

Ooops, new posts came in. Yeah, Gordon, Quote:
You nailed it; that's their audience to a "T"!. Same people love reality shows, and believe they're REAL, among other things...
Anyone who believe FauxNews is fair and balanced will believe just about anything.
And you're right, too: News became "newstainment" long ago; and true "journalists" are a dying breed. Dumbya got elected because people want to hear what they believe; the Tea Party movement would have gone nowhere if it hadn't grabbed the nation's frustration and anger from the late eight years and played on it. It's a sad fact, but America has become "dumbed down" for a looong time now, and ClusterFox is a perfect representation of it.
Doesn't mean any of the others are "fair and balanced", either, just IMHO, moreso and less absurd.

Again, right on the money. BIASED toward the right? Hell, they're more right than the right, and amusingly absurd in how they go about it, too.
That just means a lot of morons think that they are

So we can fairly say that, were CBS, CNN or MSNBC viewed as most trustworthy, your sentiments about a lot of morons would be exactly the same? O.K.I can see that.

Fox News isn't in the philanthropic business. It's a news channel. If offering up an alternate point of view makes them "biased", then what's that make the rest of the Left leaning news agencies ?
Quid Pro Quo.
They're in business TO help their advertisers. Well, get viewers so they can sell ads and make money for their advertisers. That's how it works. The better product they put out, the more viewers they get......
I'm sure they've done a fair amount of charity work/ community service spots. If you really care to find out, why not ask them yourself? But don't vilify them for not aiming a white hot spotlight of attention on themselves as they do it.
Olbermann has his way of doing things, and FOX has theirs. Doesn't have to be just ONE way, does there? Seems like the free market allows for all sorts of possibilities. And freedom is a good thing, no ?

Oh gawd 
I've GOT to quit laughing... 
It hurts too much! Is there ANY other single person here who can't see ClusterFox for what it is? Even if enjoyable, is there anyone deluded enough to "think" (I use the word advisedly) Crappy does?
I mean, he really, honestly believes there's no difference, that FauxNews IS fair and balanced, doesn't commit fraud, lie, that they've done "good deeds" (can't claim something if you can't back it up--you wanna diss someone for doing good works when comparing them to your right-wing blather machine, YOU gotta prove it), and that some of their pundits aren't completely out of their ever-lovin' heads (Beck comes to mind...)?

Oh, FOX should be more like Dan Rather's " fake, but accurate" cBS ? And it's not my part to "back them up" for anything other than the news, because that's what they do, darlin'.
And if there was a crazy off, between Beck and Olbemann, Beck might be able to go toe to toe for a few rounds, but in the end, Keith would win by outlasting all contenders.
