Fox. Not exactly the best source.

Hell, even if it was a better source, I'd remain skeptical. "Breaking news" reports are rarely even close to correct. It takes a little while to get an accurate picture.

That being said, it would be nice

Why do all of the leftists here hate Fox news? Sometimes it is necessary to get another opinion other than that which comes from the left. Of course that would take some critical thinking which goes contrary to leftist ideology which prefers an exclusive liberal view of the news.

It doesn't really matter who's reporting it. You only find out what's really going on a couple of days later anyway.

That is good advice. I don't really care for this instant reporting by anyone. Too many rumors and false starts. People need to have a little patience. The truth will come out in time.

It's the news channels' fault. They are desperate to have something new to report or to be first with the story so they report ever rumour as soon as it happens without waiting for confirmation, just in case someone else gets it first.

They all do it but some are worse than others.
