I think I'll actually buy one of O'Reilly's books for you Lew, and send it to you for your birthday, you must be a big fan. :D

I still believe the biggest reason they take so much heat if for the fact they have been so successful. Do I think they are biased? Oh yea, but no more than other news agencies or newpapers in this country.

It is all a part of the polarization between the two most prevelent attitudes in this country.

Well, if we are minority, you won't see us screaming "I'm a VICTIM!" like so many of those on the left do...we pull our boot straps up and "get'r'done" :)

The ironic part of this, of course, is that FoxNews is only slightly less leftist than something like CNN.  None of the major news outlets are truly right-of-center.

Here is something to chew on..Fox reports look just like CNN when reporting the news. The biggest difference are the shows, you know, the political shows. Fox is slanted right, CNN is slanted left. The liberals are having a tizzy that they no longer own the market on the left-slanted political shows...therefore they lash out in anyway they can, :furious such as the link in this initial post. Funny to watch. Entertaining!:aok

All due respect Silat...when the cracks are revealed...what do folks say...sorry?  This country is no different than any other in history. Do some evil sht from time to time and cover it with perfume. Its staying strong enough so that you never have to say Im sorry that keeps a country going. Cracks are no good...crack cause collapse.

I think Fox news blows, but it's obvious that liberals are really just pissed to see an opposite view spouting off in their TV screens.

Yup it must tear liberals hides that the No.1 rated cable news network has an ounce of common sense.

I disagree.  The liberals are far more blame happy than the republican party.  One of the mainstays of the reps (even if it isn't allways practice) is laws based on personal responsibility.  The Dems want everyone to dress in non-alergenic enviro friendly bubble wrap and bicycle helmets so no one gets hurt doing anything at all.

That is about the size of it.

I remember during the ground war watching CNN and noticing how doom and gloom they were.
If I hadnt been following movement for movement myself what was going on for a while there I would have beleived we were loosing.

I remember thinking and saying to myself on more then one occasion "what kind of drugs are these idiots on?"

In any event. I do not see Fox misreporting stories any more, or less then CNN does

I kinda flip back ond forth between all the cable news stations
As far as the networks go. The most balanced I've seen so far is MSNBC.

And that balance is probably why you rarely hear anyone mention them.
Each side. Fox and CNN plays to their audiance. Fox to the right. CNN to the left. Depending on what you want to hear you will probably like one or the other.
the majority of people dont want to hear both sides so again. They will tend to tune into one or the other.

Don't watch fox or Cnn personaly.

Fox may slant things a bit right, but CNN and everyone else has slanted a bit left for years.


All the news channels are about gloom and doom and misery sells. Th slants either way don't mater much.

I think the center is you, I think the center is me.

Just a coupla guys, you and me - never going to be rich, and never going to be poor.

Smart, and loyal, and good people. Good neighbors. Honest taxpayers. Trying to bring our kids up right....

Basically, lifelong confusion mixed with the best of intentions.

Grun - you are the center just the same as me.

This other ****.... It was always meant to divide us.

Wow thats, like, Poetic. But I disagree CNN is not to the right of my views.

I think, on the balance of things,  the CNN style is more left than my views while Fox is more right than my views.

Are you really this hysterical or is it some act to make us think you are an over emotional weirdo?

Show me a news story Fox fabricated, not spin,but blatantly lied and edited stuff to change the meaning on something.

If you can produce great, like I said I don't watch them but I like to know when a new agency is caught lying. I know for a fact CNN did and helped fabricate a story.


Stop flopping around like a hooked fish and produce something, or just shut the hell up for a change.

Well actually her exact words were "Bite me heiny mate"

Her next words were "OWE That hurt!"

She had a habit of saying the wrong things to me because about a year later I was helping her and her husband pack to move into their new home and she kept trying to tell me how to tape the boxes.
Finally I told her if she didnt shut up I was going to tape her.

"You wouldnt dare"

Bad choice of words because 5 min later she looked like....

Well you ever see a mummy?

cnn is very much to the left of center... it has all the earmarks... as dred says... watching them cover the invasion or any major event is a tear fest... it is allways the end of the world as we know it and there is no hope and why isn't the government more compassionate and doing more for the people?   pure lefty drivel ever minute from them..

they have moved more to the right as they noticed fox kicking their once sacred butt.   moving more to the right for them means that they are no more left than a professor or a jesse jackson say tho.... they allmost choke when forced to be the least bit fair... they can hardly disguise their hate for anything not socialist.
