I hope you do the same for CNN which is basically the liberal equivalent of Fox. I would say that Fox is a little more fair than CNN though.
In studys Fox always comes out a little more conservative but during the 2008 elections Fox news reported both good and bad things about both candidates while CNN and the like reported nearly 80% favorable news for obama.
Media impartiality is pretty much a thing of the past. [/quote]
Fox stocks itself with conservative commentators, but on the NEWS front, as in reporting what the hell is going on, they are the only serious major news outfit out there.
Like you say, they report everything regardless of who it hurts or helps and every one of their undeniably conservative shows has somebody of status from the other side.
They are all over scandals from both parties and report them until conclusion in every case I’ve seen.
They have been consistently reporting how Republicans are some of the biggest pork barrel spenders in DC for instance.
Reportage by definition is never going to be absolutely objective in every case, but they are in fact “fair and balanced” most of the time. CNN, ABC and especially NBC, along with an army of major newspapers are liberal propaganda outfits at best.
They slant, spin, place, displace, omit and in some cases just plain lie in their crusade to turn this country into a socialist utopia.
What they choose to under cover or not cover at all is very telling. They are a walking, talking and printing double standard.
Fox reports it all. Anybody who denies that doesn’t watch period. It’s as plain as the stupid smirk on Obermann’s face.
