...Fox’s bias is so bad that even some conservatives can’t stomach it. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, one of the most conservative Republicans in Congress, has said, “There are certain shows on Fox I can’t watch. Because they’re totally not fair and totally not balanced.”...


Apparently, Fox News really appeals to the geriatric cohort in America. The average age of a Fox News viewer is 68.
