From what little I've seen of the national Fox "news" broadcasts, they are a bunch of ideologues pandering to the far right and repeatedly faking or distorting stories. In the same breath I must say the local Fox newscasts are professional and well done, from what little I've seen of them. (The reason I've seen little of the local Fox affiliate isn't that I dislike them especially, but that I don't care much for TV.) I know Ben Winslow from his days at the Deseret News. He is a star reporter on Ch. 13 and an extremely hard-working and professional journalist.

Don't forget about Futurama which is so racy it has to play at 1:30 am Sunday morning. From the creators of the Simpsons but with better science writing than even the Big Bang Theory. Among the humor there are a lot of thought provoking science and math puzzles. I DVR the show and often have to pause the playback while I figure out what's going on. Top notch nerd and geek entertainment.

I'm sorry but this is about the fourth or fifth time this has come up, so I can't keep letting it pass. I hardly think that the normal Fox "broadcast" network is composed mainly of ultra conservative, ultra religious, etc., etc.
You do realize this is the network of "The Simpsons", "Family Guy", etc.?
You are obviously confusing this with the Fox News network - but even there you are still way off. Have you ever even watched Fox News?
I haven't seen all of the second episode yet - but I agree that it is very enjoyable and very interesting.
Clear skies, Dale.
