People shouldn't watch Fox News simply because they have a habitual tendency to report lies.

People watch Fox News to hear something they agree with - to vindicate their beliefs of what the news should be, not as it is. Maddow is right that Fox is welcome to express their opinions, but when they report opinions as if they are facts, or they conduct belligerent interviews where they tell people to "SHUT UP!" or cut off their mikes - they cannot say there is a "war on Fox" when people start pointing out the unprofessionalism of their ways.

Real news does not pander to an audience, in any way, shape, or form. That at least is one consistency among news anchors that are noted for impartiality.

Okay...okay...so I misspelled Apparatik.
I thought that was a Russian word for 'political stooge.'
I tell you what - I'm happy that Sarah Palin isn't the fricking VP right now.
That doesn't mean that I'm altogether happy with Obama essentially extending BushCo mendacity.
Justifying our presence in Afghanistan, for instance.
I haven't forgotten that our defense spending is a form of molestation.
The same fuckers that hit us on 9/11 are the same assholes who are 'entitled' to their government contracts.
I'm not really a radical.
I just want a change of course more dearly than you do.

Should Canada declare war on Fox News in response?

It would be like a small, efficient military taking on a bunch of hot air.

I watched CNN since the first Gulf War actually put them on the map. You picked up the other day. If you have been following it as long as I have you would know that Lou Dobb's originally kept bashing away at the out-sourcing problem before corporations basically told him to go pursue another issue that didn't infringe on their interests. He used to give away "Out-sourcing America" on every goddamn show. He is a journalist and in our day age he fails to make the distinction known between legal and illegal aliens, creating a impression that the country is being over run by people of a different ethnicity, because people like you just LOVE and EAT that shit up. And in our time of media shockers, it matters who gets the most gut reflex reaction, CNN after all losing the war to Fox News.

You failed to answer any directed question at you and kept spewing the same line over and over, basically whittling down a national issue down to semantics of the law instead of actually dealing with the problem at hand. What you state will not solve illegal immigration it will only deepen it further, you want a BAND aid fix to something that requires surgery. You wanna live in a world of closed borders go ahead. But know that 15,000 KM up and the every fucking country looks the same. EXACTLY THE SAME.
