'SNL's 'Fox & Friends' Corrections Are Close To The Real Thing (VIDEO)
One of the highlights of the consistently great "Fox & Friends" parodies on "Saturday Night Live" is the pause-your-DVR-or-you'll-miss-them list of corrections they provide at the end of each sketch. Especially because the corrections are hardly an exaggeration of the real misstatements that regularly show up on Fox.

Bro, I lost respect for you with that comment.
Schuylarr, back it up with some facts, not a Huffington post opinion.
Major, major FAIL.

What makes you think that? You don't have to watch it. To say "anywhere" tells me that you don't get out much.

After a long hard day of Real Life ... I saw the thread title and thought to myself "how long before mention would be made of erections?"
It's nice to know my instincts can still rise to the occasion.

No, I think the fact that you do believe fox is a credible news service, tells me that you don't get out much.....
This whole political forum is based on members citing their claims.
I'm not having any hard feeling bro, I just asked for some proof that Fox is any less accurate than any other news source, because I know they can't produce it, simple as that.

Not sure about anyone else, but when fox news reports stuff around my area it's not fabricated.
Also, SNL does parodies of all sorts of news channels and not just fox news. Nothing they say do should be considered (facts) they are there for your entertainment making fun of all the stupid shit and people in politics and the entertainment industry.

If FOX lied as much as you speculate then it would be getting it's ass sued off regularly. And the liberal media would make sure we ALL knew about it.
FOX news is not a monolithic program. Every hour is a different show. News is typically on in the morning followed by Opinion shows like Hannity & O'Reilly. Considering there are 10-12 different shows I am not sure how you can just lump them all into a basket.
And there was research done recently on which news program had the most news VS opinion. MSNBC rated near the bottom with almost all opinion. Fox news was at or near the top with a lot more fact and information.
Now, you dont have to watch it and you dont have to like it but to declare that it is not news and they lie all the time is pure fantasy...

Hey doublejj..
I do believe that fox news is more credible than any other. And if you took a poll it would more than likely say the same thing..imo
So don't forget about the rest of the nation when you say "anywhere".
Then back up your claim doublejj, talk is cheap bro.
If Fox News is such a terrible source of news, give us some proof!
Dude, you're becoming Cheezy lame when you parrot left wing talking points.

Nobody has to believe they are a credible source. You take what they tell you and fact check it against other sources on the internet and form your own opinion. My take is that the FOX news portion portrays the facts pretty well. And on the opinion side, O'Reilly is fair which is why he got to interview the president.
Now, most of what you are citing as lies comes from the opinions of guests or hosts. Sometimes they get things wrong and sometimes they continue to repeat the wrong things. Chris Christie has come out and said he went to High School with his current accuser but they were not even acquaintances at the time in a school of 1600 plus students. That makes sense yet I have heard repeatedly that he was a High School friend of Christie's on Fox. So, some of the shit they say is wrong which is not surprising given a 24/7 news cycle and getting it first is how you keep an audience.
If you know how to research a news piece then bias should not scare you so much.
