We gathered quite a collection of emails for Fox last week. We've got complaints that Fox was off the air in the Shenandoah Valley, a decent suggestion for how to solve our budget crisis (really), someone who did not enjoy Megyn Kelly's interview with Ted Cruz and more. Check 'em out, after the jump!

Subject: Off Air
Fox New just went off air at 2pm in the Shenandoah Valley- Shentel Cable.Just a black screen.
Dear Greta: First let me congratulate you on your new time slot and say that that it was very,very well done and informative. I want to pass on to you my suggestion for solving our country's financial crisis. 1st we should increase taxes on the top 20% of our individual taxpapers by 5% and Corporations,with before tax income of $5,000,000.00 or more, by 2%. We would then take from the top 20% of individual taxpapers an additional 3% of their original taxes.these accumulated taxes and buy back from Social Security Administration that amount of U.S. Government Securities that they hold. The result of this would many fold; 1. We would reduce the national debt, 2. We would reduce the interest on the national debt, 3. We would make Social Security more solvent, 4. We would, in my opinion give the stock market a shot in the arm and would give those individuals, with the increased taxes an increase in their assets and finally give a much needed boost to our economy. If you are interested there is more. (sender's name and email address) P.S.This be for one year and renewable if it is successful.
Megan,I thought you’d have the guys to stand up for a man with principles. But instead you call him the most hated man in America. I’m sure Obama loved that statement.You should have stuck to your morning show.
I have been a faithful watcher of FNC for many years. I don’t understand why some shows are aired twice during prime time. My new favorite show is The Five and am very disappointed that it is not on during the evening. I used to force myself to stay up until midnight to watch the show. When shows are duplicated I find other channels to watch.
When someone signs up for ACA, when does the information go to the IRS, after sign up or enrollment?

I walked in Guilford Courthouse National Park in NC yesterday which, of course, was closed; however there were workers using 4-wheeled utility vehicles-point being workers being paid while public denied access to blds., etc?

Well I tried giving ol Shep a shot at watching his new show but damn
is he a liberal or what. He makes it very clear what side hes on conserning the
libs shutting down the govt. I cant watch a guy on Fox that should be on MSNBC
Can you guys get rid of him already.
2. I seriously doubt anyone will take this guy’s suggestions seriously once they see the words “increase taxes”. On the Fox News Planet, that’s worse than death. In the mind of Foxbaggers, the four worst things of all time are death, taxes. Obamacare, and then Obama. Nothing is worse than Obama.
3. Why yes, Ted Cruz IS the most hated man in America (even for some people willing to put their animosity towards Obama aside for one brief second), and yes, I’m pretty sure Obama loved that statement. Finally, some truth on FauxNoise!
4. Only old farts like you “force” themselves to stay up until midnight to watch shows. The rest of the population uses this nifty gadget called a DVR to record stuff to watch later. It’s like a VCR, only better. Get your grandkids to explain to you how it works.
5. Dude, dude, don’t expect helpful information about the ACA from FauxNoise. facepalm Remember, on their planet, it’s one of the worst things to ever happen to America, and will be the downfall of human civilization.
6. Misery loves company? Just because you couldn’t get to enjoy a national park, federal workers have to get cut off from their paychecks and starve to death? You were merely inconvenienced, but federal workers need money to pay bills and feed their kids. On my planet, that’s a priority.
7. Only in the Foxbagger Fantasy World did the “libs” shut down the government. Here in the real world, we know the truth. And that’s why Ted Cruz is the most hated man in America!
