Why all the hate for Fox News?

I know they are a right wing news channel (for the most part) but that alone should not make the news they cover invalid. Every now and then I see some dumb things; for example the episode of the Factor where Bill O'Reilly got a psychologist to try and find the "meaning" behind Gangnam Style. But every news station does something stupid every now and then, the occasional blunder is expected. Ever since the presidential election last year I've had my tv on Fox News. So I've been watching it for quite a while and I just can't find where the hate for this channel comes from. Could someone explain to me what's wrong with this news channel? (On a side note watching Fox News actually helped me get through my college geography class; I knew what was going on in the world, and probably the only one in my class that actually knew what the teacher was talking about.)

  • Their pundits are idiotic. They're so incredibly biased, it isn't even funny. They've never said anything positive about Obama except for when he does something to appease Republicans, and even then they cry about how he doesn't do enough. There's a reason that Fox News's audience is the [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9288158/Fox-News-viewers-worst-informed-study-finds.html]worst-informed of any cable news outlet[/url]. Because their news is almost entirely right-wing propaganda. The best example of them doing all they can to be Republican for the sake of it was on election night when they went down to the newsroom to question their experts on their projection that Obama would win Ohio, to try to make it seem like Romney still had a chance and got totally shot-down by the experts. They argued and argued Nate Silver's findings up until the last possible moment, constantly insulting him and predicting that Romney had upwards of a 70 or 80% chance of winning when there was no poll around that showed this.
