Hang on to your seats, folks... If you're fed up with the hypocrisy of America's least unbiased news network, then this site will surely make you smile. Oh, it's not much, and I don't have a great deal of time to devote to it, but I hope you find this stuff as laughable as the Fox "News" Channel itself.

"Are you saying the Fox News Channel should shut down? Are you against the First Amendment or something?" Of course not! In fact, this site is an exercise in the First Amendment. Indeed, if you don't see the hypocrisy in screaming "freedom of speech!" in protest of someone else exercising his own freedom of speech, then you're probably a huge fan of glurge like FNC. Faux News -- We put the BS in "Bias"!

News is about reporting facts, and as change is inherent to just about every aspect of life (evolution, societal growth, technological advances, thermodynamics, universal expansion, etc.), prudent coverage of these facts will naturally reflect an ever-changing world. As such it's no surprise extremely conservative minds occasionally confuse ongoing long-term news organizations as those who "embrace change." Add a dose of confirmation bias, and the result is a group of right-wingers who think the news media is a bunch of left-leaning wackos. However, if you dismiss the notion that every modicum of life itself is black or white, it should be clear that (pure) conservatism and (pure) liberalism are not so much twins on a seesaw of "balance," but more like a merry-go-round's stop and go. And while no sensible person wants to ride an unrestrained merry-go-round, life cannot stop. Certainly, the ability to understand and appreciate liberalism is required in order to stay in stride with the ever-changing world about which one might purport to report "factually." It's important that someone who professes to impartially report the news be able to identify not just change itself, but to identify with the forces that precipitate change. Hint -- if you knee-jerk at life's continuous stream of surprises, any claim of neutrality in news reporting is either egregious or just plain stupid (considering the money this phoney baloney makes, I say 'egregious,' and redirect the stupidity allegation at the fan base.) It's my opinion that a conservative bent and the reporting of news are akin to oil and water. News reporting must escape the throes of dogged cognitive misery -- conservatism in its purest form -- in order to remain relevant. Otherwise, the separation will become too pronounced to constitute a union. Faux News is No News!
