Sometimes I want to scream at the TV at some truth stretching the FOX news pundits are guilty of on a daily basis. It's hard to take that network seriously, and most of the time its good for a laugh.
If you watch an episode of Rachel Maddow, you're sure to know something that you didn't know before, regardless of your political viewpoint. Before she starts the first segment on her show, there's a long windup with some historical perspective to set up the yarn she's about to spin. It's pretty compelling sometimes, and there's just SO FUCKING MUCH bullshit that Republicans are trying to pull constantly that there's a constant supply of topics. She's not making it up because you can go look up almost anything she talks about and find that its 100% true. No conjecture or conspiracy bullshit which there's a ton of on FOX.
There's a huge difference between FOX and MSNBC. If you turn it to FOX at any given time, there's usually a group of bigoted retards crying about Obama or their "freedoms", and on MSNBC there's an actual intelligent political discussion going on between several smart people who know their stuff. Albeit, with a very liberal slant -- but I've seen more criticism of the left of MSNBC than I would ever see of the right on FOX. They're a bunch of robots programmed by Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes to spout any bullshit that their mouth-breathing audience will suck up.
Try watching one episode of Rachel Maddow if you haven't. No one thinks you'll change your political viewpoints, but I'll bet you'll find whatever she's talking about to be interesting.
