    As much as it might hurt people to admit - Fox News doesn't tend to report lies. They might report stories with a bias, but the facts are always there.

    I understand your point, Adrian - They elaborated on that point in the Times article. Do you believe that this is a good idea? It is arbitration of civil cases now, but the Times article quoted one of the people involved as saying that it would deal more and more with criminal cases. Women may go along with this, but couldn't the laws be viewed as unconscionable if they consistently side with males over females? The law is supposed to provide some equality that might not be inherent to the society in question.

    newscorp is a travesty and a joke. but that's beside the point. i'm assuming that the story is true, but wondering why no one besides newscorp seems to care.
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    Like I said - Newscorp has a different agenda than other news organizations. They do different blackouts in coverage and accentuate different occurrences. If this is true and you can't find it anywhere else - doesn't it make you slightly thankful that newscorp exists? I am thankful when left leaning news sites present facts that are blacked out by other mainstream news organizations.

    only if the 'news' is important. not sure about this story yet. and the catch 22 of it is, if it's really important, a reputable news agency will pick it up.

    Not always. I like Fox news and other Newscorp branches. I also like coverage that I am ideologically opposed to.

    So what is your major gripe with Fox? Do you find that they lie and make up facts?
