That is true to some point. I think they do a little too much cheer-leading on Fox news, but they appear to be over compensating for boob heros like Al Frankin, John Stewart, Bill Maher and Keith Olberman. Of course they also face the more subtle, Spitting Chris Mathews, Katie Couric ,all of CNN and I am afraid now even Tim Russert. If we had just a little more balance and more fact than opinion, we would all be better off.

The irony is it just presents an alternative viewpoint, but the people who only watch CNN (and Jack McCafferty who is on CNN and calls Fox News the "F-word Network") can't seem to understand that just because an opinion/angle differs from your own that it is still legitimate. Personally, I am a news junkie so I take in news and information from every source available and come to my own conclusions.

Why? because of the fact NO different information organisation the worldwide over portrays the information like Fox. in case you desire specifics approximately what Fox has lied approximately, by making use of all skill, enable me (remember i will purely submit lots right here)..bill Hemmer reported that a branch of coaching valid Kevin Jennings knew of a statutory rape case regarding a 15 twelve months old female yet "by no skill reported it". the girl in question became into above the age of consent. Martha MacCallum provided a clip of vice chairman Joe Biden asserting the "fundamentals of the financial gadget are solid" and provided it as a clip from March, 2010. It became into from a 2008 marketing campaign speech the place Joe Biden became into QUOTING John McCain!

That might be true. I think FOX news tries to give us both sides of the news, where ABC, CBS, and NBC only wants to give you their spin on the news. Therefore, without spin you have right-wing! Gee, does that mean left-wing is doing nothing but spinning everything?

No, they come off as right-wing, because there is a concerted effort from management to promote conservatism.
Which is fine, the irritating part is claiming they do not.

No, because the other news organizations are centrist.
Fox News comes off as right-wing because it's right wing. You said it yourself there, champ.

ALL of the major US news outlets are owned by extremely rich people, and extremely rich people tend to be very conservative. The "liberal media" is a myth - they just aren't as conservative as some of the others, like Fox News, which is owned by an extremely conservative guy: Rupert Murdoch.
