Are you serious? Prepare to be flamed. Fox news typically shows a conservative argument and bashes liberals. They aren't fair and balanced.

Believe me, I've heard it all here before. So many people here bash Fox, yet its amazing how they can quote it chapter and verse. Makes me wonder why they watch it, if it's so bad.

You can't argue with success - Fox News is the top rated cable news network for many years running.

No. Fox news is biased. Please, don't tell me you've never watched their election coverage. Don't lie to me. I used to watch fox news. During the election season they always try to make it seem like Democrats flip flop yet they never cover anything negative about the GOP. That's a fact.

Also, just because a station has ratings doesn't mean it's good. That just means that the station is telling its viewers what it wants to hear. Fox news cares more about ratings than presenting real news. Their journalistic standard is pathetic. What they say isn't bias is just them praising Republicans and bashing Democratic liberal policies.

Correct. Having a reporter there to slam anything liberals do and a liberal there to simply "try" to refute it is not fair coverage. Fair coverage would be criticizing all parties and having people representing them there to make a case.

I don't see how anyone can see constantly siding with one party and having one weak representative of the other there to "refute" it is fair in any way.

I never said they weren't biased. If you call having a conservative bent biased, that is. So what? What's wrong with that? MSNBC and CNN are also biased with a liberal bent.

During the election season they always try to make it seem like Democrats flip flop yet they never cover anything negative about the GOP. That's a fact.


Bullcrap. At least they don't have shrieking shills like Maddow, Keith whatever, and Tingle-up-my-leg-Matthews.

Fox isn't honest though. That's the thing.

If they said they weren't fair or balanced then it would be okay. But they claim to give both sides of the issues fairly.

It's horrible.

Also, what makes you think that the media is liberal? Would your perception of the media changed if I told you that the media is actually corporate?
