Fox News compared to other networks question?

Question

Is there a show like Hannity and Colmes on one of the liberal media stations?

Hannity is a conservative, where as Colmes is a liberal. Both sides are argued.

I want to know of another show on another network that is 'fair and balanced' like Fox news advertises. If not, why won't they allow a difference of opinion on their show?

---------------------------------------------
Some have told me that Colmes is a middle of the road person, which is laughable at least. He may be middle of the road liberal, which only means he is not as crazy as michael moore.

how is he a fall man, he is using the same arguments as every liberal on the planet. It is just when logic is thrown his way, it makes him look like a fool.

Now, can you answer the origianal question? Is there another network that represents both sides?

idontkno - I didn't understand a thing you rambled about, thanks for not answering the question with the most confusing statement.

gokart, I'm specifically talking about one show. Hannity and Colmes. I think it is the most fair political show on t.v. Is there a show like it on another (liberal) network? I have no idea who that radio personality is you mentioned.

Answer 1

How can I do this sarcastically? - Bill Maher?!?

Answer 2

I have tried to watch a little of all of the major cable news shows and I don't think so. I think the one I trust most is Brett Humes Show on Fox, he has interesting guests that speak on both sides of issues and a panel discussion with three panelists representing different views. His show does not detoriate into a screaming match like Hannity and Colmes does sometimes. I do like Hannity and Colmes (the eyebrows make me kind of nervous), but as much as I agree with Shawn Hannity most of the time he can be a bit of a drama queen.

Answer 3

Um, they all suck, but FOX sucks more than their peers, by FAR.
'fair and balanced' is their catch-phrase, but if you've ever heard John Gibson on the radio, well, he's about a charlatan, I heard him on the air one fine day not too long ago, and he talked right OVER his callers, I had to shut it off after about 20 minutes, it was so bad. Yet, these are the people they employ, with the idea that they're basically going to 'school' you into their way of thinking, either by hyping incessantly, intimidating, cajoling, by any means necessary, I guess, portrait of broadcast media gone horribly horribly wrong. The antidote, though, is to simply think for yourself, and ask intelligent questions of these clowns, catch em up, make em think, jolt em out of that PR death-march they're on, make em be actual journalists. It's not a job that everyone can do well, and many have ethics conflicts either because they're constrained by very slanted rules, or their sponsorship abandons them. Sucks to be a reporter for a paper that goes out of business for lack of sponsorship, because that means you'll be unemployed, then no one hears what you're saying...devil's choices for them, too, at some level...I think the internet has advanced the concept of press freedom, you can start your own 'blog, you can email the papers, you can chat, you can do all sorts of stuff. Main thing is, seek to be 'fair and balanced', but for REAL, not the way the hypesters do it...

Answer 4

I like Fox the best. Glenn Beck on headline news is just a way of CNN to try to take the viewers from Hannity and O'Reilly. I like Glenn's Radio show,but I'm not falling for CNN's crap!

Answer 5

Are you bat shi t crazy? How can you not call colmes the fall man in the "fair and balanced" comedy that is Fox news.

Answer 6

Good point, but check out Glenn Beck on CNN Headline News. They hired him on, not out of fairness, but out of necessity. They are basically losing so much viewership they will do anything for money now. Unfortunately a decent show like Glenn's is subsidizing all the other liberal nonsense on their network...

Answer 7

To rosi who answered Brett Humes
