FOX News Launches FOX Nation
Conservative commentators on FOX News may have argued against the election of Barack Obama during the campaign, but they can't deny that four -- or eight -- years of an Obama administration will be good for their business.
FOX News Channel, which has long been the No. 1 cable news operation, extended its lead over CNN and MSNBC in recent months, the New York Times reported. Bill O'Reilly's show, The O'Reilly Factor, reached a milestone in March of 100 consecutive months as the most popular program on cable news.
FOX recently launched a new Web site, The FOX Nation, which the AP described as a "Huffington Post-style" site, a reference to Arianna Huffington's left-leaning blog site.
Though FOX is a leader on television, it falls behind on the Internet, the AP said, with 16 million unique visitors in February compared with MSNBC.com's 41 million viewers and CNN.com's 36 million.
The new Web site features one of the most grandiose introductory letters ever posted on a Web site. The letter lauds America as the "city on a hill," and says FOX Nation is dedicated to the people of America who have made it great.
And I thought FOX Nation was just a way to boost traffic to their online product at a time when the government, particularly Obama and Democrats in Congress, are doing a lot of things to irk conservatives.
Of course, these are hard times, FOX Nation says, but Americans have always risen up to face challenges and will again.
"How, exactly, should we assure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?" the letter says. "How do we perfect our union? How can we make certain that children of all races are fairly judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character?"
The answer to FOX Nation's questions is, of course, FOX Nation.
"FOX Nation will be a forum for Americans to speak out on important and controversial issues, and to act out their beliefs and values -- while always upholding the traditional American ideals of free speech, fair play and tolerance," the letter says.
The site is a more user-friendly version of FOX News' actual Web site. It features content from O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, and the AP reported that FOX Nation will be adding social networking components and encouraging visitors to post their opinions in response to the stories.
FOX Nation is also one of the few news organizations where Joe the Plumber remains a top news story. So now you know where to go to get your daily Joe.

Say what you will, Fox is the only channel where you at least hear both sides -- and can decide for yourself.

The loons to the left of us can't even take when an opposing voice is given an opportunity to speak. They believe in freedom of everything as long as it's what they agree with. When it's not what they believe, they label it hate speech and try to have it banned. The largest threat to this country and its citizens are the liberals and their 'from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs' mentality. Socialism has no place in a world of free will and the only ones that seem to want it are the same imbeciles that don't want to contribute themselves. They would prefer to leave that up to the hard working people that believe personal responsibility. Death to tyranny and taxation without representation.

AS YOU SAY IN THE ARTICLE- O'REILLY HAS BEEN #1 FOR 100 MONTHS- WAY BEFORE COMRADE OBAMA STOLE HIS WAY INTO OFFICE.
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SICK OF THIS SOCIALIST DISMANTALLING THE CONSTITUTION, AND BECAUSE WE ARE THE HEART, MIND AND SOUL OF THIS COUNTRY-B.O. IS OUT IN THREE YEARS-NO DOUBT.
WINSTON CHURCHILL-THE GREAT BRITISH LEADER-OR, AS SOME OF YOU ONLY KNOW HIM AS THE BUST THAT OBAMA THREW OUT OF THE OVAL OFFICE[ NOTHING LIKE THE EYES OF CHURCHILL STARING INTO THE EYES OF THE SQUIRMING MARXIST'S]-ONCE SAID,IN EFFECT=
"IF YOUR'E YOUNG AND NOT A LIBERAL-YOU HAVE NO HEART.IF YOUR'E OLD AND NOT A CONSERVATIVE-YOU HAVE NO BRAINS"
SO, WHEN I GO ON THIS SITE- I CONSIDER THE SOURCE.

Wow. Poor Americans. 'Fair and balanced'. No, that would be BBC news. Where you can't tell what the newscasters believe.
Emoting, shouting at the American public, aren't these the characteristics of some of those rude, moronic reality shows? I refuse to listen to anyone yelling at me and inciting division. I won't listen to advertisements consisting of someone shouting at me to buy their detergent - nor of ANYONE shouting or sneering.
A faster-growing news media source is NPR. Don't the Fox aficionados know this?
Intelligent people will read newspapers with depth and world perspective. Ones which don't blather on about who is and who isn't a 'real' American. They will read 'The Economist'. Cable 'news' isn't news. whether it's O'Reilly or Olberman. They are entertainment. A certain segment of poor, dumbed-down America apparently doesn't know this. They like thir entertainment.

Uh- bjv? The 'destruction' of this country was well in hand long BEFORE President Obama took office. Can you honestly say that all the financial, economic and political messes he is dealing with occured in the last eight WEEKS? That until January 20, the whole world was just hunky-dory? Your upper case rants prove positive that the 'loons' (to borrow mayabelle's) are YOU and the rest of those who feel the only "true and right" "fair and balanced" bastions of jounalistic integrity come from the camp of O'Reilly, Coulter, et al. You frighten me.

You have a good reason to be scared. We, the gardians of our constitution, will prevail in rooting out the commies that have invaded our institutions and are working toward dismantling the only true democracy in existence in the whole wide world. We're coming you can be sure of that. If I were you I would be checking out airfare rates to moscow.

Robert...our good friend to the Left--apparently.
Your, it appears, only observation that FNC consists of O'Rerilly and Coulter is an obvious fact as to why Leftist/Demorats are blinded to trustworthy news.
Coulter is a GUEST, in many cases with someone of opposing views. O'Reilly is the HOST, with many, probably upwards of half, his guests on the left side of opinion (and reality!).

FOX already monopolizes the news, conservative commentators outnumber liberals 90%-10%, so you need ANOTHER OUTLET for their garbage? What? Don't all the 70 year old fat-ass white-racist retirees on disability thundering about Socialism got enough to see?

I disagree Dennis,
Glenn Beck and Hannity = commentators
Bill O'Reilly = card carrying newsman/commentator
While you may think they are all the same, they are not. Bill O'Reilly is a Libertarian. I'm not sure what I would call Hannity, maybe Old Time Republican. Glenn Beck - regular Republican trending towards Libertarian.
One thing they do all have in common is that they all are opposed to big spenders and government intrusion into private business.

Excuse me? Fox News did not "argue against" electing Obama, any more than they "argued against" electing McCain. Just because you actually heard BOTH sides doesn't mean they are for or against one side.
You've all been watching the "predigested then regurgitated into your brain" stuff so long that you don't know how to listen to a balanced news presentation.

Now there's a pair. O'Reilly and Coulter. The mouth pieces that talk like a whipperwills butt hole in a hurricane. All that hot air coming out of those windbags could solve our energy problems. Add the mouth of Rush Limbaugh and you have could fly a hot air balloon from LA to NY.

glad to see fox expanding. i am an independent voter. i watch fox and they are clearly the most fair of all the news information services. you get both sides and then get to make your own decision. bill oreily takes it a step further tho. to insure we get a fair opinon from the guests he researches the topic and makes sure the liberal or the conservative can not give us false info. this is why he is the king of the hill. i apply this principal to my life. i tell my kids the truth and my wife. my fellow workers are treated this way. i have been very successful and i attribute it to this fairness doctrine.i don't have enemies and i have a lot of friends. because they know i respect them and i hold them accountable. aol of course is very liberal as well as msnbc.they are no where near the top and will remain there.they are a cornerstone of adolescents and young adults because the brain has not fully matured and idealism and not realism rules the mind at that age.it is full to listem to impractical ideas trying to be put to practical use. my dad always told me your're not mature until the day you die. i think you start to realize that around 40 y/o

Please sign petition and get 10 of your friends to do so. Thank you. THIS BILL WILL NOT COST AMERICANS ANY MONEY
HR 623 TO PERMIT EXPUNGEMENT (sealing) OF RECORDS OF CERTAIN NON VIOLENT FEDERAL CRIMINAL OFFENSES is a bill to amend the federal criminal code to allow an individual to file a petition for expungement of a record of conviction for certain nonviolent federal offenses. The is for non-violent federal crimes–not murder or child molesting. Please note states can expunge (seal) records of state crimes. So why not federal crimes. A federal crime now is a life sentence.
The bill specifies five criteria that individuals must meet in order to qualify for the Second Chance Act. They are:
No convictions for a violent offense and no conviction for a nonviolent offense other than the one they are trying to expunge.
Must have fulfilled all requirements of their sentence.
Must have remained free from drug or alcohol dependency for at least one year and have been rehabilitated to the court's satisfaction, if that is part of their sentence.
Must have obtained a high school diploma or GED.
Must have completed at least one year of community service
