~some loaded statement without much grounds about how terrible fox news is and that Stephen should be worried that his visit may in some way be damaging or dangerous~
@invictus13: ~reply with factual statement with facts (and references!) much about how terrible fox news is and that Stephen should be worried that his visit may in some way be damaging or dangerous~
@Hey_Blinkon: There is typically a clear delineation with MSNBC between their news segments during the day and the personality shows at night. Sure opinions do come across, but nowhere near as consistently and heavy handed as Fox's news coverage.
@jihadjoe343: Exactly. I watch MSNBC regularly and their regular news has no spin whatsoever, but some of their personality shows (Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow) obviously have liberal views they don't shy away from. The thing is they don't try to hide it on their shows.
@SocraticMethod: @jihadjoe343: To be honest, I've never watched their daytime news shows. Just the nightly stuff (Matthews, Olbermann, etc) at the gym (I don't get cable). But I beg to differ than Foxnews is any more conservative than MSNBC is liberal. Because from what I've seen, MSNBC is HORRENDOUSLY liberal.
@MooglesInMyFace: It's just playing with the spelling. I've never met ANYONE who pronounces faux like "fahks," but it's still a joke. It's similar to a visual rhyme, in that you see it spelled similarly, though the actual pronunciation is different. Like "rough" and "bough." [en.wikipedia.org]
The joke only works if you're reading it. That's the foxing point, for faux's sake.

That's a funny joke if you think Faux is pronounced the same way as Fox.
But it's not...so it isn't funny. :(
