And the long-term consequences are equally dire - except that those who eat themselves to death on McRubbish result in fewer detrimental consequences o the rest of us.
Any form of biased reporting will cause the same problems if the viewers lack the wit to see through the spin for themselves.
The fact that you constantly berate Fox alone shows that you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I went to school with a guy called Michael Savage - complete nutter - got 'asked to leave' in 3rd form.

You must be confusing me with someone else...

Anyway, I think those who swallow the Fox line hook line and sinker by and large (generalisation alert!) have less *wit* than consumers of the "liberal" media in general and viewers of Jim Lehrer's Newshour in particular.

You can't assume everyone has the intelligence to see through the spin!

So the problem is biased reporting...

Then if biased reporting is the problem, Elvira can berate Fox Opinion, sorry Fox News, all she likes.

Just as IP and yourself can moan about CNN etc if you believe they are also bias.

I like the 700 club, such a nice man that Pat Robertson. And he's not biased, he just wants to help people.

I haven't moaned about anyone, and prefer not to cos there are just so damned many of them.
I think that if someone constantly berates one particular channel for being biased then that might say as much about the berator as it does about the beratee.
