Fox no longer mentions 'Fair and Balanced'
Anyone else notice 'Fair and Balanced' slipped from our favorite news stations lexicon. My father and I were talking about this today and wondered if anyone else noticed.

I wonder why. That's like their huge thing. :shrug: Why would they let that slip?

3. See, in order to notice that
they'd dropped that slogan I'd actually have to watch that miserable unhappy excuse for a network. Except for the occasional glimpse at oreilly for laughs or happening onto a car chase as I surf by there I don't do that anymore.

But I'm glad to see that they have dropped all pretense and no longer even claim to be "F & B".

8. It was always a joke. But it used to be an inside joke.
Now everybody knows Fox is US Pravda. Maybe they just decided it was counterproductive at this point.

9. Because...they've Never Been "Fair" or "Balanced
Just like Bush calls something that it really isn't (try "Clean Skies Initiative" which is a license to pollute the air), Faux News never had any intention of covering anything in a fair or balanced way except Bush's ass:mad:

11. I was in a doctor's office today...the receptionist changed the channel
to Faux News. I asked them to change it to CNN because "Fox News is biased." She laughed and said "Yeah", but I don't think she had a clue what I was talking about. She did change the channel, though.
