* [[Critical Research Failure]] / [[You Fail Geography Forever]]: According to Fox News, [http://i.imgur.com/UC496.jpg Oslo is in Germany], and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120512034038/http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200907270040 Egypt is in between Syria and Iran].
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Even liberals have enjoyed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QP9-9EhBsU Andy Levy's tongue-in-cheek apology to Chris Brown].
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Al Qaeda's media guy once wanted to send a media package to every American news outlet EXCEPT for Fox News, saying that the channel "lacks objectivity." It's funny whether you like or hate the channel, and FNC themselves took it in stride, running it on their website with the headline ''[http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/03/16/fox-news-al-qaedas-least-favorite-television-news-network/ Fox News, Al Qaeda's Least Favorite TV News Network]''.

* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: A fair number of liberals admit to watching Fox News because they have an interest in what the other side is saying or to laugh at the more conservative pundits--In many countries, it's marketed as an entertainment channel.
* [[Malicious Slander]]: At least according to some people like [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart.]] He also notes that MSNBC isn't any less biased, but is more incompetent than Fox at spinning their "political narrative"
