Why is it that Fox is such a popular news station? The coverage is clearly biased and clearly Republican and the quality of the news coverage is very poor. Do people actually take Fox and presenters like Bill O'Reilly seriously when they keep making these rediculous accusations and statements.
“The way they do the statistics in the Netherlands is different, plus it is a much smaller country.”
Can you actually gather your news from a station that has people who make stupid remarks like this? Are we able to trust the news that Fox brings us?

Fox is the big republican station and this way of communicating is pretty normal, on bothsides of the spectrum actually. This is American Media at it's most common. Nowadays it's not about thruth, it's about ratings. So if you can get your ratings up by misrepresenting the facts or lying……why not. I think in Holland it will go the same way if it doesn't already. Look at the popularity of Geert Wilders for instance. Although he makes some good points, it's the way he does it is that attracts all the attention. Excaggeration and misrepresentation and a funny hairdo . Sad part is that a lot of people in the USA as well as in Holland take it for real. It's entertainment, not journalism.

Fox is so damn popular because of a variety of reasons, here are a few,
1: they are one of the few large networks broadcasted all over, I lived in SD/TJ now in Puerto Vallarta and its the only US News channel.. hence larger audience
2: Compared to the BS that was thrown at you by CBS, ABC, NBC during the last presidential election, FOX was perhaps the least biased (read this well, LEAST biased, i.e. still very biased)
3: NEWS CORP.is the parent company… i.e. lots of PULL all over the world
ADVICE: Specifically related to the O´reilly factor.. he starts of with “you are NOW entering a NO SPIN ZONE”.. perhaps in the next video, this could play an essential ROLE.. he SPUN his way out of the statistic with (as we all know) that the NETHERLANDS does its statistics different.. huh? and that its a much smaller country..true that is not a SPIN, but it IS when you use it as an argument that statistics and percentages are different in one country to another.. WTF.

I am an American, and on behalf of all of us, I would like to appologize for this crap on TV.
I used to live in The Netherlands, and it's absolutly nothing like O'reilly suggests.
again, I am sorry.

Fox NEWS really isn't as popular as people think. FOX is essentially the only republican TV network, devoted to that mentality (religion, family “values” (no gays), anti-pot, anti-public health care, anti-progress). The republicans constantly blast every other media outlet for being liberal on the issues.
So in essence, virtually all American media tends to be very liberal and very different from FOX (at least Fox is by far the worst). All the douchey' republicans flock to that one station, so it climbs in the ratings compared to the “liberal” news shows that you see on every other channel..

I don't really think Fox represents true Republican values. (The American Constitution) Freedom, free minds and free markets.
The current liberal media is not much different.

I believe that Fox is popular with people who have a need to be 'told what to think'. That group who never heard, or never understood the phrase, “Never believe everything that you read in the paper.”
Faced with the prospect of just hearing the facts from multiple sources and making up their own minds is too much for these viewers.
Why there has been no 'Truth in Advertising' complaint, is beyond me. FOX NEWS?????? More like, Fox OPINION.
All reporting of news has a bias of some sort. It is inevitable human nature. However, a good organization will do its best to minimize that.
I'd be tempted to say that FOX and their viewers a a little retarded, but Sarah says I can't. Unless, of course, my name where Rush.
