I agree that the channel has definitely moved away from the boundaries of non-fiction, especially since Obama's election. Listening to Hannity and those three clowns in the morning makes me weep for our society. Shep Smith is one of the few there that has retained his dignity, as well as O'Reilly I guess if you count his good deeds in writing children's books ;-)
However, at the beginning, it was nothing like this and that is why I think the slogan was not that egregious. I guess it's just kinda stuck there. I should have clarified my comments to suggest that at the outset, it was a reasonable slogan.
