Jon Stewart destroys Fox News on their Benghazi coverage. Amazing.

Now I’m not saying you have to like ABC, CBS, MSNBC or CNN—I really don’t care whether you do or not. But Fox News is on a whole other level when it comes to worthless news coverage.
Because where CNN or MSNBC might sing the praises of how great a blue sky is—Fox News tries to convince you the sky isn’t actually blue. And millions of people believe it.
"Allen Clifton in Why Fox News if Total Garbage
"Glenn Beck wasn’t trying to save his soul, he was trying to save his ass. Advertisers fled his show and even Glenn knows what that means in our industry. Yet, we still tried to give him a soft landing. Guess no good deed goes unpunished"
Fox News’ official statement about Glenn Beck’s departure is blunt, short, and sweet. The network responded to Beck’s comments that he left Fox to “keep his soul intact.”
Fox News Skips Obama Gun Speech
Fox News chose to skip President Obama’s statement on the background checks proposal that failed to pass in the Senate on Wednesday. The bipartisan proposal on expanded background checks, a move that is supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans, fell short with the Senate voting 54-46 against the amendment.
Broadcast and cable networks interrupted regular programming to bring viewers Obama’s remarks, except Fox News. The cable network stayed on “The Five,” where hosts were discussing the media coverage of the Boston bombings.
A father who lost a child in the Newtown mass shooting introduced the president. Fox News briefly cut to show video of the president taking the podium, while the hosts continued talking about the media coverage of Boston. At the end of the “The Five,” co-host Greg Gutfeld apologized for cutting out of the Obama press conference. “I think that should have been handled better,” he said.

Fox reports that Mitch McConnell’s office was bugged, ignoring the fact that those claims are thus far unsubstantiated.
Misinformation machine.
Fox News Peddles Conspiracy Theory It Already Debunked
On Monday afternoon, Fox News ran a segment suggesting that the Department of Homeland Security is buying up large quantities of ammunition to prevent law-abiding Americans from defending themselves. The story came two days after the DHS justified the purchases in a letter to lawmakers and Fox itself dismissed the theory as a conspiracy in its signature nightly news broadcast.
Fox News airs sequester graphics that are nearly identical to a National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) press release without, you know, acknowledging it.
Literally just cut and pasting Republican talking points. Fair and balanced coverage indeed.
"One of the biggest factors is going to be how the media shapes debates. If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you’ll see more of them doing it."
President Barack Obama, on how Fox News and conservative media make it more difficult for Republican congressmen to approach bipartisan legislation, or even conversation. The Fox assault of Chris Christie is a good example.
Fox News flips out on Obama's Inauguration Day | Business Insider
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly slammed President Barack Obama’s inaugural address on his show Monday night, saying his ideology would “bankrupt the nation” and asserting that the speech contained racial undertones.
“It’s pretty clear that he doesn’t like [Republicans] because he feels that they are the purveyors of white privilege,” O’Reilly said on “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday night…
During “The Five,” co-host Eric Bolling tore into what he saw as “a speech full of hypocrisy” and was mind-boggled as to how people “could vote for four more years of this.”
Fox News’ freakout began early in the day, when “Fox & Friends” dubbed it the “most depressing day” of the year. It was based on the discredited ”Blue Monday,” which The Guardian’s Dean Burnett called “gibberish, bilge, rubbish, crap, stupid, and any other polite way of saying ‘utter bollocks’ that you can think of.”
