Actually, Fox News was founded in 1996 during the Clinton years, and began to overtake CNN around 2001, just as Bush was elected. So the rise of Fox occurred during the time of Democratic President, and it's merely maintained its #1 position during tenure of a Republican President.

Clinton did several great things for the economy and it really paid off:

1) NAFTA.
2) Favored nation trading status for China.
3) Welfare reform.
4) Convincing Alan Greenspan not to retire.*

*I don't actually know if Mr. Clinton had any impact on Mr. Greenspan's decisions.

He's a man who has taken a real career risk to speak out against BigOil.

He IS a true conservative in this respect because he loves his country and knows how much BigOil has compromised its strength and how traitorous it's monopoly has become to national security. This is the essence of conservative values: conserving the integrity of the USA. EVERY SINGLE conservative and liberal and anyone in between needs to recognize that in order to have a country to exercise free speech, bicker and carry on in we need to preserve that country to begin with.

BigOil has done everything in its power to bring us to our knees economically speaking.

Obama is not qualified to bring us back from the brink of disaster. What he excells at in oratory promises, he inversely proportionately lacks in practical application.

Meanwhile under Bill Clinton he took the bear by the horns..so to speak…and wrestled our economy back to the strongest one in US history. The strongest one in US history. The strongest economy in US history…

Did I mention under Clinton we got back the strongest economy in US History? Personally, I don't want “change” from that track record. Personally, I'd like to see a repeat of that same old same old right about now. How about you? You lose your home lately? Hillary can keep that from happening. If nothing else, Bill can show her how, as if she needed showing…she was pobably standing right next to him with a calculator, pencil and paper as he resculpted our worn economy back to the strongest it ever was.

The strongest it ever was under Clinton. Did I mention that before? I never get tired of thinking about it

Sil, I've been shocked at the change that's come from Bill. He's going from arguing “We can't just ask for name, country of origin, and jihad number” to perhaps not being a cheerleader for Obama, but giving him a fairer shake than anyone else on Fox. He's argued against putting Michelle Obama in the spotlight unfairly, and given Obama several compliments. And yes, then there's his crusade against Big Oil.

Since I started watching his show two years ago, I've always thought that while definitely a blowhard (as is Olbermann), that O'Reilly really isn't as conservative as some people make him out to be, and that this recent change in his behavior shows just that.

I wonder if this slap in the face to FOX news comes on the heels of Bill O'Riley speaking out against BigOil? The guy rightfully attacked BigOil for being the root of our economic vulnerability and called for turning our backs on BigOil and developing safe alternatives. He discussed how they'd become a dangerous and national-security compromising monopoly and needed regulating. And he's spot-on accurate..

I was wondering how long it would be before we saw disparaging remarks about Fox…lol…underscoring our contention that BigOil controls the Media whether the media is happy about it or not. Fox is getting a spanking and its competitiors are all-too happy to jump in. If you think the media is a clean delivery of accurate and fair news…you are mistaken…

On the up side, our group is considering taking FOX news of the boycott list when the elections are over. It may be the only station we'll watch for news besides Comedy Central's The Daily Show or The Colbert Report..lol…
