So...at least one far left liberal watches fox.
Who would that be?

I used to. Not so much any more due to time issues(I don't got enough of it), but I will still catch Bill O'Reilly occasionally. His humor works for me.
I'm guessing that he was implying YOU do.Who would that be?
A number of years back a story in a Radio Trade Magazine said that Rush Limbaugh's audience was nearly 30% Democrats, The reason they stated was that they wanted to know what the enemy was saying.
Yeah. I admit to being somewhat of a Bill fan. He is funny, sarcastic, fair and not too bad on the eyes either as he always looks nice
I just threw up. A lot.
Ailes tossed him, but they spun it as his choice.
Instead, to better understand the conservative point of view I tend to rely on think tanks and magazines that people have mentioned. Some of my favorites are the Weekly Standard, AEI, Commentary Magazine, The Economist, and random foreign policy blogs like the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy and Michael Totten.

I watch Fox on occasion mostly for the entertainment value.
I don't watch and news channels anymore. Its faster to get the news from the internet. I tend to go with Google News. I have gotten to the point where I believe that news networks (all of them) are a major source of our problems in this country. In their pursuit of outrage to drum up audiences and ratings, they have gotten people to the point where they are fighting boogieman over real issues. This misinformation (through characterization of one's opponent, selective information, and substituting perspective for fact and truth) is what we act on, over real facts.
What we need is in depth analysis and understanding. Not people who shout soundbites at each other and oversimplify issues.

I do watch FOX mainly to for kicks and to keep an eye out on what kind of lies and crazy they are talking about though..

I am a LIBERAL and I watch FOX on occasion to get a good laugh and to understand where the crazy, right-wing, religious wack-jobs (CONSERVATIVES) get their motivation from. I feel sorry for them for they really are innocent and naive.
I'm curious do you define conservative as "crazy, right-wing, religious wack-jobs"?
