I know the name of the channel is Fox News, but there are two distinct
components. Commentary and news. Commentary includes the very
conservative Hannity, the populist O'Reilly, the libertarian Beck, and
the running-for-president Huckabee.
I don't live on their planet.
News, for me, consists of Fox News Sunday hosted by Chris Wallace (a
Democrat), who bars no holds whether interviewing the right or the left,
and Special Report with Bret Baier with straight news and a panel
discussion with analysts from the right (Krouthammer), left (Juan
Williams) and middle (Mara Liaason). I think both shows do a good job of
covering all sides of major issues. But then, YMMV.
(And, yes, much of their daytime shows are tabloid hoohah with car
chases and Amber alerts, but I don't consider this news)
And, before you say it, I've heard those on the left say they hate Fox
because they believe the American people are too stupid to understand
the difference between commentary and news.

Fox reports the news of a different planet. I don't live there.
