This week I have received two email returns from Fox News in regard to two emails I sent regarding the misplaced hatred towards George Bush. They read:

Your message

To: Show -My Word
Subject: RE: Misplaced Hatred.
Sent: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 16:01:48 -0400

was deleted without being read on Wed, 22 Sep 2004 16:58:35 -0400

Final-Recipient: RFC822; myword@FOXNEWS.COM
Disposition: automatic-action/MDN-sent-automatically; deleted

Original-Message-ID: <4132362C.1020502@hotPOP.com>

Note I underlined and bolded the print that infuriated me. I understand they may not get to emails sometime for up to a month, but delete it without even reading it is sick. I took the time to write My Word and this is how they treat a Fox Fan?

I decided to call them. They were even more unhelpful and rude on the phone. The woman said it was the producers who deleted the emails and she made no apologies for it.

I am slowly becoming less, and less a Fox Fan.......especially in light of what they did to Debra. Mad

I too am becoming somewhat disgusted with Fox's proclaimed fair and balanced approach. I used to rely on them to get the voice of conservatives out amongst the majority of the liberal MSM. However, it seems to me that they're giving far too much air time to these liberal guests who can't keep their mouthes shut for two seconds. For whatever reason they're invited, they don't answer a direct question, and instead immediately spin into the same old, tired talking points we've heard a million times. Then you add Alan "The Crypt Keeper" Colmes into the mix, and he's the master of spin. He's as bad as Michael Moore with clipped excerpts of certain comments and statements designed to make his point, and wind up the whining, liberal guest again.

BOR is getting to be pretty abnoxious as well. It used to be fairly apparent who's side he was on. But lately it's all about him, and he seems to lean way over to the left. They can have him...

Unfortunately Fox news is suffering from the Titanic Syndrome. Hopefully, Rupert will make some calls and kick some tail and put in some perspective. Funny how Rupert Murdoch a scrappy Austrailian has always viewed himself as one day away from being broke and become the modern day oil baron of media and Ted Turner lost most his wealth and more importantly all his influence because of hubris. A lesson we all need to be reminded of always.

I find myself disagreeing with about half of what I hear on Fox and agreeing with about half...I guess that would qualify as pretty "fair and balanced", especially considering that I disagree with about 90% of the slant put on stories by most of the MSM. It amazes me how many stories on NBC/CBS/CNN report only one side of the issue, no caveats, no opposition opinions...I give credit to Fox for at least trying to relay both sides of each story to us, including all of that "liberal crap" hehe

Fox should make a evening news program for broadcast dont you think? I bet they would easily pick up a big share of the old CBS market and much of the other networks where conservatives and moderates are sick of the 24/7 bias.

Where was BOR's interview with the President? At the shows onset BOR said he would be airing it later in the broadcast. What's up with that?

Yeah! I'm starting to question this whole 'fair & balanced' thing now.. I realized on H & C they always put the conservative/republican on the top portion of the screen.

In all seriousness, I think they do a good enough job. They run ads for both campaigns, allow liberals and conservatives on each show to debate and even BOR shows negative and positive emails.
