Pretty blue eyes only go so far—particularly when connected to a cool-aid drinking true believer in the standard progressive lies.

Blonde hair however may go a bit further as Fox News has found out. Of course there should be no attachment of said blondes to cool-aid drinking.

No - we need an OBJECTIVE and HONEST channel.

I don't want biased news - I want facts, which are not biased.

News is different from opinion and opinion should have no place in news regardless of whether I agree with the opinion or not.

Marxists look at FOX’s numbers and say it must be stopped rather than improve the other networks.

CNN has the right idea with what they did with Morgan. For complete success, they should repeat that with all their employees.

To maintain success they must refrain from hiring replacements.

News without opinions are boring. I am perfectly OK with getting opinions together with the news, just not the idiotic opinions.
