Ratings don't change that fact.....
It is so much how an outlet leans but what they do about it...

While multiple other outlets lean in a certain direction AND keep the other side's participation in the conversation to a minimum, Fox lets the other side have their voice...

Sure, they'll disagree, and in some cases, counterattack, but that still is far above the other outlets, which simply debate an issue using 3 Liberals and some guy they call a "Republican" because he once said he liked Ronald Reagan's hair...

They present the Conservative view point YES. They also present the other side and they do far better than any other network in keeping it balanced so both sides get presented.

The fact is the leftist don't want the Conservative side presented AT ALL and if anything negative is said about the liberal side by anyone on FOX they deem that as evidence FOX is bias'd. Facts say otherwise.

On their general news broad casts yes, but on their popular opinion based stuff like Bill-O and Hannity, it's fairly one sided also. The other alphabet networks are not defensible in this area so I won't even attempt to make a case for their obvious biased slant......

Yeah, right, they present both sides; that's why they broke away from the historic Q&A Obama had with House republicans and gave no updates for at least 2 hours after it ended, when all the other real media outlets gave full coverage.

The only reason you think Fox is fair and balanced, is because you think the emperor has new clothes. I have posted several examples that are prima facia evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, Fox's "fair" claim, is nothing more than a facade.

"MSNBC’s David Shuster became a fan of Fox News’ late-night comedy/news hybrid Red Eye just in time for its three-year anniversary.

And it’s coming at a time when the 3amET show is seeing big ratings in the A25-54 demographic – even topping CNN prime time last week."

MSNBC actually has conservative commentators on the payroll, I don't know of any liberal commentator that has his own show on Fox.

Even train wrecks can draw a crowd.

Their Neilson rating has nothing to do with fair and balanced. But it does indicate just how dumb and lazy American's have become.

Well if Glen Beck is the conservative viewpoint you can have him and I'll even throw in a bag of chips just to get him outta my site and outta my audio waves.

I'm going to use that line on a neighbor of mine who loves FluxNews.
