News Organizations Like Fox News Cause Wars/Discord.
I really think so. I'll tell you why in two words.

:They Divide:

They do this by not reporting the news, but by reporting a/the possible outcome of a situation beforehand. Many of you might not have noticed what I have about this POS station, but it is my profound belief that they are mechanized within the GOP to stir up controversy in order to possibly bring about political reorganization.

What caused me to form this "out there" theory?

The "War on Christmas" that John Gibson so declared himself has made myself and many like me absolutely despise the Xian right. I used to not even mind them, I didn't care about what they had to say. My life was happy and no one bothered me. Then the War on Xmas broke out, and now I can't even rent a video without the question of my religion popping up.

Fox News has literally caused the subtlety of our religion(s) in the U.S. to boil to the surface as the most important agenda of the day.

Liberals on the other hand laugh at them while the talking heads point their fingers with bulging eyes.

Fact is, that Christmas is no more threatened than the hair on your head. It's politics, and it's making my life a living hell, and I'm sure thousands upon thousands are with me.

I wonder what it would take to get this garbage off of T.V.

3. I'm sure it's funny....
but I'm choosing to boycott this horseshit, no matter how mundane or serious. Nothing against you, but I choose to abstain against stupidity. :)

4. CrooksAndLiars watches Faux News so you don't have to
And obviously Faux gets no ad revenue from you watch a .mov of Gibson looking like a total ass.

5. It's Principle
I refuse to even see the Fox News logo.

I give them props, they have made me hate the other side and want to see their demise.

They have suceeded in that....

6. The problem is not that they divide, they flat out LIE.
How can lies be "news"?

9. Your assumption is certainly not new. You should also include
CNN & MSNBC in you're analysis.

'Tis only the mindless that watch these channels with any regularity. *Folks that can't think for themselves, you know?
