If they followed any moral ethics in true journalism, they could provide the service that they profess to. Having to listen to their drivel while waiting in a fast food restaraunt or while getting your oil changed is an insidious attempt at corporate subliminal advertising, and it should stop! It's nearly a conflict of interest in that corporations like McDonalds endorse the lies corporate talking points that Fox tries to sell as news.

I agree a new federal law should be created to only allow CNBC to be the sole source of news period.

If you do not like do not go into the place. There is a reason Fox has more people watching it then any other news network. I do like going to the burrito place in Joliet to watch cnn its like comedy.

Every time I've gone into McDonalds, CNN is on.. I don't know of many corporate lies that Fox tries to tell versus the news that stations like CNN or MSNBC refuse to tell.

Is it because all your life you were told the Democrats are for the middle class?

Wake up! We need a third, forth and more parties!

Or, do you just support socialism and Obama?

What's a "Librard"? Did you learn to spell on Fox News? Their fact checking maintains the reliability of the under-educated dolt's such as yourself that are sucked into the morass. You're apparently quite a bit over your head here. If you have a message, please utilize spell-check and get back to me. Thank you......

It's killing them. It is absolutely KILLING them!!! The DUmmies just can't handle the enormous success of Fox News. What has sent them into a frenzy is a STORY in the NYT about the incredible success this year of Fox News. It is just driving the DUmmies NUts and FUnniest of all are their lame excuses as to why Fox News is doing so well while the other cable news networks have their ratings in the toilet. So let us now watch the DUmmies make hilarious excuses as to why Fox News is doing so well

Success? Simply because all of the morons gather to watch a train wreck doesn't make it worth seeing. Besides, I watch it when I need something to laugh at. The lowest common denominator chosen "News" readers are the most unbelievably inept group of airheads I've ever seen in one place. Seriously, they're a joke, right? I assume they're hired to make the average viewer feel a little less stupid than they do when they encounter multi-syllabic descriptions or attempt to read a book. I met Gretchen Carlson in the 90s, although polite, that woman is as dumb as a post. Seriously, she couldn't carry on a conversation involving the business event that she was sponsoring because she doesn't understand basic supply and demand economics. Your argument would be laughable, if I thought you'd get the joke.

Daily Horoscope for February 5

Virgo

The Sun and Mercury in your solar sixth house of work and health create some tension, but the energy picks up as the day flows on.. There are interruptions to your daily routine as co-workers or those in authority direct you down another path or claim your attention. Minor ailments or fatigue are likely -- rest and spiritual practices are the best cure.
