    Tearing him a new one might be overstating it somewhat.

    You rarely see journos getting attacked, it's ideologues masquerading as journalists that are getting all the stick. Fox only hires them.

    Exactly, the guy politely and articulately expressed his opinion.

    End.

    Whatever about the Entertainment side but the news is driven by right-wing Republican conservative values and is crazy how biased they are

    Some people like their "news" to be only what they want to hear... it can't be helped.

    The interviewer seemed quite reasonable in that video clip. But fair play to the protesters, he gave good articulate answers.

    It's like RTE and The Late Late Show, people always giving out about them yet TLLS has huge viewing figures every week.

    I wouldn't say the yanks that watch it think it's ****e like we think the LLS is (yet still watch)

    You'd be surprised in the numbers of conservative republican Americans willing to swallow Fox propaganda

    I think land of the free implies that they're allowed say stuff that you don't agree with....

    Looks fake. These left wing anti-capitalists are very untrustworthy with stuff like this.

    A news channel shouldn't be a source of opinion, they should be unbiased

    Fox news basically pushes their conservative agenda on viewers, have you ever seen Bill O Reilly in action?

    They should? Says who? So you don't think they should be free to publish what they wish? Land of the free indeed!

    That is not a news show though. Its like reading an opinion piece in the Irish Times. Its an opinion program. How do people not understand this???

    There is a left wing alternative to Fox News in America, MSNBC. They produce the same opinion shows but with a liberal bias.

    The very idea of news reporting is to report objectivity on the facts, Fox don't do that because they are backed by a conservative agenda

    Why do you get the idea I'm against free speech? One of the first things you learn as a reporter is to be objective and balanced, Fox aren't.

    We are a country that has a lot to protest about yet there is only a few dozen protesting in Dublin. I hope the numbers increase.
