It's time for our weekly peek into the minds of Fox News viewers via the batch of emails sent to us from people who thought they were writing to the "fair and balanced" network. This week's crop is as revealing as ever. We've got "the truth about Obamacare" from someone who thought nothing more needed to be said about what that truth might be. Also, somebody wants to know where Jenna Lee gets her shoes. And someone who thinks Fox News is biased against conservatives. Really. All that and more after the jump.
As always, names and other identifying information have been redacted. Grammar, spelling and punctuation have been left intact.

The real truth about the Obamacare
I can’t be sure this next one was meant for Fox News but that seems more likely than that it was meant for us.
Subject: California Power Grab
Hi!
California Department of Fish & Game recently rebranded itself the California Department of Fish & Wildlife. This event went unnoticed in the news media, but is turning out to be one of the biggest power grabs in state history. Previously, the department concerned itself with regulating “game species” such as deer, quail, doves, grouse, and etc. Any species not regulated was considered non-game and did not fall under the jurisdiction of the department. By rebranding itself, the California Department of Fish & Wildlife’s legal department has determined that, if a species is not expressly regulated in the Fish & Wildlife regulations, then it is illegal to take. So, species long considered pests such as: ground squirrels, domestic pigeons, etc. and even domestic animals are now protected and considered illegal to take because they do not have a season or bag limit determined in the regulations. California’s new “gold rush” is large fines and confiscation. Farmer’s who have long fought the fight against “pests” are now finding themselves in court with large fines and confiscation of their equipment, homes, and farms. Unbelievable.Hi!
Thanks for reading.

I'm not sure if I heard this correctly or not, but I think I heard the HHS Secretary call the Obamacare Navigators "volunteers" at the end of her interview with Dr. Gupta tonight. I believe they are government employees with no background check, right? Did she really say this? Thanks for your time.
Here’s another one I’m not completely sure was meant for Fox. Unlike the prior one, this one could have been meant for us. I don't think it was but I’ll report and let you decide.

I watch fox news often.But on greta van susterns show she always goes to carl rove to explain the issues going on in washington.Recently the republican party did not help new jersey senate candidate steve lonegan financially and now word is out that the republican national committee will not offer financial help to conservatives @ tea party members with their respective races for congress...........
Subject: Jenna Lee
I know that this is a silly question but I have been watching Jenna Lee on Happening Now and was wondering where she gets her shoes?
Thank you in advance.
I really enjoy watching Happening Now and America's Newsroom. I live in Canada but spend quite a bit of time in the US. You give so much more information than any Canadian news stations.
That's it for now. Check back next week to see what we'll get in the interim.
Spread the news!

If you want the truth about Obamacare you are not going to get it at this fraudulent “news” outlet.

If it keeps Ted Nugent out of the state it’s worth it.

At least you are watching CNN instead of Fox.

Fox “News” loves Karl Rove, and he is very good friends with Hannocchio. You can figure the rest out.

You mean those on-air mouthpieces who dress like Washington high-end call girls?
1—So, what’s your question? If you’ve got problems with your channel selections, call your cable company you d-bag.
2—We’re waiting. Are you asking a question or planning to tell us?
3—And you know all this for a fact from department publications or is this merely crap that you’ve pulled from your ass? I’ll bet if you call the agency about “pests” like squirrels and pigeons, they’ll tell you they’re still officially “pests.” As for the “domestic animals,” if you’re currently killing them, you are one twisted, sadistic little bastard who should probably get a visit from psychiatric professionals.
4—Do you know how to “record” programs? By the way, why are you watching that foreigner and writing into FoxNoise?
5—We at FoxNoise may appear to be pro-Teabagger, but, in reality, we support electable Republicons. In the blood-red states, we really don’t care about helping those Teabaggers since most of them are too crazy, even by OUR standards. But, if somehow one of those lunatics manages to win the GOP primary in a blue or a battleground state, we’ll grudgingly support the kook—but he (or she) has to win the primary on their own since we don’t get involved in interparty fighting (it just gives ammo to the Dems later on).
6—Actually that’s not a silly question. It’s a STUPID one. Who the hell do you think we are? Some fruity fashion network? We only hire the bimbos; the only thing we want them for is to lure the horned-up-from-Viagra old men into watching our
