they all use the AP and Reuters for their stories, and report the same stories.

The problem is that they don't all report the same stories. Fox chooses the stories that fit their purpose, CNN and the broadcast news choose the stories that fit their purpose. You need to watch CNN and Fox to get to the truth of the matter. Broadcast news from the big 3 (and MSNBC) is worthless, they not only spin things to the left in choosing their stories, they skew them further in their reporting.

I don't think Fox lies anymore than I think ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or any other news outlet lies. I do think they all spin the news though. I also believe that if stories do not fit with the action line that a network maintains it will be either not reported, or under reported. Simply put, we just do not get unbiased news in this country anymore. However, I think that most outlets report to their audience, whatever that might be and that ratings drive the majority of what gets reports, not partisan ideology.

When fox uses the AP, they aren't lying anymore then other stations. But all the content of Fox News is AP. They have been caught lying many times, then they change their transcripts for their shows to make it look like they don't lie. That is why they are so bad. They also have a clear spin on many stories. they also use circumstantial evidence that other stations don't use in order to support their points.

Wow, this is really obtuse logic. Well, actually, it's not logic at all. Yes, they all report on the SAME news, but Fox SPINS the stories to give it a Republican bias. Are you twelve? 'cause this sounds like a very underdeveloped sense of rationale to me. If you're twelve, my apologies, and keep asking questions. If you're an adult...give it up, 'cause it's hopeless.

Did the AP make Faux News write in a caption below Mark Foley as a democrat?
Mark Foley
(D)Florida
What makes them more hideous is to whine about being "fair and balanced" over and over WHILE they spin.
Sick.

FOX has news?
I thought they were only good for The Simpsons & Family Guy.

It`s that Murdoch influence again. He will deliver whatever news with a bias toward whichever party is going to make him the most money. I`d sooner watch Spongebob, he makes more sense.

If it wasn't for Fox News, Television media would be 100% ran by liberalism.

Yes, all networks "slant" the news to serve their corporate interests. None of the others claim to be "fair and balanced", though.

This is my entry for the competition "Find The Worst Logic, Ever."
It's like saying "If ONE republican hits up on 15-year-old boys, doesn't it mean that all republicans hit up on 15-year-old boys?"
