Default biggest pet peeve about Fox News:

they call suicide bombers homicide bombers.

As the most extreme liberal on the board, I can't imagine there's much at all that you like about Fox News, Frank.

Cheesy, yes, and even more. Newspeople are supposed to give us information. By doing this, they automatically take away information.

Well, according to the political test/graph we all took a couple weeks ago, you are.

But that same graph said I'm one of the most moderate people here, so we know it's very inaccurate.

Not really, but if you already hate Fox News, you're much more likely to think so.
