Check the STATS. Fox was the ONLY FAIR network.

ANY way you want to count it........just like Fla 2000.

Nobody believes FOX was "Fair and balanced" except the extreme right. How do you think they got the reputation they did?

By being different than everyone else...

When everyone else is 80/20 left leaning, the 60/40 right leaning stands out in the crowd...and because they don't conform to what everyone else is doing, they get regulated to the "extreme" platform even though it's closer to the actual middle than the left leaning median...

And when the public gets used to seeing 80/20 left leaning everyday, that becomes the norm, so when someone comes along and skews that norm, they're the ones treated as if they are wrong and no one else is...It's assumed that when there's 8 networks against 1, the "1" must be wrong...

Could you give some specific examples of Fox News' bias? Not the pundits or opionators, but the news reporting being biased.

Is this going to be one of those "If CNN does it, it's an honest mistake, but if Fox does it, it's not" sort of thing?...

CNN apologizes to Barack Obama

Quote:
Wolf Blitzer apologized to Barack Obama for misspelling Osama's name on a graphic yesterday during a broadcast on The Situation Room.

Whatever the network Chris Matthews is on MSNBC/CNN whatever is so biased I am convinced they are paid in some way or threatened in another by the Democrats or some entity that favors Democrats.
Fox with the ugly woman representing the "fair" viewpoint, is so biased I am convinced they are paid in some way or threatened in another by the Republicans or some entity that favors Republicans.
