To those who refute their claim of being "fair and balanced" I submit this: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,273875,00.html

Feel free to counter with your favorite liberal rag offering a balanced report.

Okay... I'll grant that Fox entertainment news is as fair and balanced as any other network's entertainment news. ;)

I use Fox news as a counterpoint to keep the the bull***** that flows from the head holes on ABC NBC CBS MSNBC CNN in perspective.

Another good feature about Fox news is how splenidly it exposes those who hate it.

It simply is not news, but entertainment. The sad part is that a huge majority of Americans do not understand that fact.

I get my news via BBC World Service Radio.

BBC, thats certainly even-handed:eek:

Can anyone name an obvious conservative who works at MSNBC, CBS, ABC, or NBC or CNN--Stossel is a Libertarian, Scarborough is...largely unwatched---I can think of SEVERAL obvious liberals who are given serious face time at FOX. And I never see a rational explanation of HOW FOX is biased, merely that they ARE.

BBC is as much an offender of the truth as Fox is, if not more so.  You need to unplug yourself from bias.  Listen, let the truth flow from you, not to you, only then will you know freedom of thought.

One positive article about a Michael Moore film doesn't really say anything about them being fair or balanced.

And yeah, pretty much all the news networks suck.

If it comes in a video format, it probably is not news.  Very high noise to signal ratio there.  All about ratings and politically slated views one way or the other.  

I'll stick to the written news.  Still have to filter it a bit, but there is still much more content.

I have watched Fox News, MSNBC and CNN. It is preachy opinionated garbage. Not news. It is for the easily amused, the dim witted, the weak willed....you know...the followers, the sheep. :t
