I found this article to be rather ridiculious, probably typical of Fox.

I'm not agreeing with the content retention of facebook, but linking it to "institutionalizing child pornography" is just.... I think it explains itself.

Towards the end of their list of "bad" EULA examples, you notice they aren't quoting EULAs anymore, but people.  They don't even appear to be quoting people in offical capacity, I don't know where they get these from.

I love how they cite Microsoft for saying it would comply with what they'd legally be required to do otherwise.

Intrestingly enough, they seem to skip their own "terms of use agreement" entirely which you apprently already agreed to by visiting the page.  They also own a "do anything they want to forever" licence to anything you submit, and you waive your right to a lawsuit.  Awesome.

Oh anyone who thinks Fox is worth anything is a moron.
About the only general news agency worth paying any attention to is the BBC.  Fox, CNN, etc... are all so biased that it is impossible to get useful information out of them.

Another complaint about irresponsible journalism? I quite agree with OM! The best news agency out there is BBC on PBS broadcasting.

NBC,ABC,CBS the big three exploit a common storyline and sacrifice the rest of the news. Last year their major stories were Micheal Jackson, Ted Kennedy, The balloon boy, and now it's the earthquake issue in Haiti. All other news issues are dropped in favor of an exploitable subject or 15 seconds of honorable mentions.
     All major news issues deserve coverage, but not at the expense of other news equally important.

I would say Public broadcasting is really the only place to get unbiased truthful opinions about anything.
