It is funny how you are some how trying to state that boycotting the media is a good thing for the people.
The media is there to report the news, not filter the news nor promote the news. Since fox news both promotes stories it likes and filters stories it dislikes i'm going to say fox news is not news at all and instead is just a glorified tabloid.

I'm reluctant to even reply to this, but I will give it a shot.
It seems you are trying to argue that broadcasting a pre-written speech delivered before an audience with no questions will somehow better inform the people than hosting a one-on-one interview with the ability to queston, follow-up, and clarify misunderstandings. That is what Fox offered Obama, and Obama rejected it.
To suggest that Fox is the only network that avoids stories or filters news to their consumers is ludicrous. The fact that you are singling out one news agency for this behavior clearly shows your bias. If it upsets you that the media is not "fair", then make the thread about the entire media filtering their news for their viewers. EVERY media outlet is failing the American people. Drop the partisanship.
