LOL, it's fair and balanced like a man's testicles (sarcasm). News channels can have various talk shows with whatever political swings they want...whatever. But when you're just showing the news and your newscasters make personal comments about the situations they're reporting on, that's when it's no longer fair or balanced. The news is the news. It's not a time to show the world why you think a certain way. That's why the greatest news-casters have always been right down the middle. Never taking sides on the news they report. They can have opinions, but those are left for private conversation, not public display with the stories that are being reported. Fox News is about as fair and balanced as Rush Limbaugh's self-medication plan.
Real news give you the story and lets you decide on what is right and wrong morally. Look at CNN, the BBC, CBS nightly news, and most other news agencies. Hell, CNN's biggest show is Larry King Live, and he just interviews people....he doesn't really give his opinions. Fox's biggest show on the other hand is someone who advocates racism and promotes harm to those who do not follow his mentality (OReilly). Gee...let me think which seems more slanted.

Yes. Look at how CNN and others cover the same stories and tell me they're not.
[edit for Zachary]
We can surely disagree on it but if Fox is too far right, how about how far left the remaining organizations are? For example, Al Gore's new film is gospel truth on CNN, MSNBC, etc. while the opposite side of the issue is also covered on Fox. That is where I appreciate Fox...you always get both sides!

That is so perfect that the Vegi-tale person thinks they are fair and balanced. I think they are a little scary. My favorite ever Fox moment was during a NY snowstorm last winter they accidentaly put up a graphic that said TERROR PLOT? over pictures of the snowstorm.

Fox news is the voice of president George W Bush and Rush W Limbaugh. Nuf said.

No. They do push lean to right. They do not interview they belittle. If they seek the truth they would investigate Bush, or at least ask questions. What about the balanced budget we all were talking about in the 80's?

If you call having an extreme right wing slant fair and balanced.

A LOT more than the trash the liberal networks pass off as news.

Much more so than CNN - I actually think no media is completely unbiased.

Not even close. It's so Republican-biased, it's disgusting.
