2. Not really.

Most broadcast corporations have different divisions that should be self-financed. But they really can move money where ever, so.... I watch some Fox shows, and Fox Sports usually does a good job...

4. My favorite show is a Fox show (Fringe).
Their regular broadcast network isn't too bad.

7. no....seperate divisions within the fox company
what ever ad revenue beck is losing is made up somewhere else in the news division

during the last election the top guy at fox entertainment contributed to obama.

I won't let Beck take them away from me.

14. I gave up on FOX after they cancelled Firefly
They've canceled more great shows than any network I can think of. ABC comes in as a close 2nd. I didn't even give Dollhouse a try. You'd think Whedon would know better by now.
