Fox News does a WHOLE lot more than just "lean to the left".

A while back there were polls about which the followers of specific news resources were evaluated on their knowledge of certain subjects.
Fox News was at the back of the class.

Add on this "terrorist fist jab" and "baby mama" stupidity, and it's just an absurdly obvious demonstration of engaging in an absolutely repulsive "anti-journalistic" mentality.

You got a rumor that makes Democrats look bad? Put it up there.
You got a response to the issue, but no credible evidence to base the response on? Phrase it as a question to give it a pretend legitimacy.

It's not an issue of "conservative" or "hate", but rather they just plain need to clean up their act.

I almost never watch FOX. But last weekend I saw a program by Chris Wallace on Pork barrel spending that was well done.. But I couldn't even tell you how I happened on it. My TV Is usually on MSNBC. Unless there is international news. Thats when I go to CNN because they are the only ones left with foreign bureaus.
I know that MSNBC is biased. But I don't let it effect me. If the news is really important I will check all sources. Olbermann can be as goofy as Hannity.

I can't take too much of Dan Abrams, as he never lets his guests complete a thought or a sentence.
Most of the time I watch CNN,

All I got when I clicked your link was an exercise infomercial.
Maybe it's my PC. I have a lot of pop up blockers and stuff.

Anybody who thinks Fox gives "equal footing" between conservative and liberal views is either joking, or just plain blind.
Yes they give the conservative side equal footing and a equal time. Why does that upset the left so much?

And anyone who thinks they don't give them equal presentation isn't watching them.

Who do you think you're fooling?
No. They don't give "equal footing and equal time".

Time to dig up a few studies that you're just going to ignore, proving Fox's bias...

An appealing feature of their study is that it does not matter if Fox News represents the political center and the rest of the media the liberal wing, or Fox represents the extreme right and the rest of the media the middle. Fox's political orientation is clearly to the right of the rest of the media. Research has found, for example, that Fox News is much more likely than other news shows to cite conservative think tanks and less likely to cite liberal ones.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/18/bu...a/18scene.html

The abundance of conservatives and Republicans at Fox News Channel does not seem to be a coincidence. In 1996, Andrew Kirtzman, a respected New York City cable news reporter, was interviewed for a job with Fox and says that management wanted to know what his political affiliation was. "They were afraid I was a Democrat," he told the Village Voice (10/15/96). When Kirtzman refused to tell Fox his party ID, "all employment discussion ended," according to the Voice.

Catherine Crier, who was perceived as one of Fox's most prestigious and credible early hires, was an elected Republican judge before starting a career in journalism. (Crier has since moved on to Court TV.) Pundit Mara Liasson--who is touted as an on-air "liberal" by Fox executives--sits on the board of the conservative human-rights group Freedom House; New York magazine (11/17/97) cited a Fox insider as saying that Liasson assured president Roger Ailes before being hired that she was a Republican.

I don't "hate" Fox news. I might if I watched it more; I don't know. But if I did hate Fox news I'm afraid this video wouldn't change my mind.
So would that make me un-American?

Well if you think they ar enot left winger then just what ar ethey besides stupid. I don't care for any of their views. And gave upwatching them. And I am very pro American. Not that most news stations arent bias in some fashion of the owner's political agenda. But when I do piut on Fox it is always a yelling match between the suppoes experts in some field or another.

Lou Dobbs has them beat in my thinking. Yet it is still each to their own view. I don't watch any video's on this site or any other. So I missed the cute ladies streaching so what?
