I think MSNBC would do better on public access.

Blah, who cares.

Fox and the rest of the American media outlets are a joke unless you care about missing white girl #292389232 and which Hollywood celebrity broke up with their spouse.

God forbid we do some real reporting.. people might actually be outraged about half of the stuff that is being done to the world by the hand of the United States… instead Fox and NBC just put on more idiotic reality shows to dumb up the American people day by day.
