Actually, thanks to FoxNews, channels like MSNBC were FORCED to ease up on the bias. It used to be all libs all day, but now that Tucker and Scarborough are in the line-up it isn't so stupidly one sided, or should I say, one sidedly stupid LMAO!!!

Wow...
Fox is fair in the same way that carney games are fair. Fox is balanced in the same way that John Hinkley and Charles Manson are balanced.
This is the same channel that gives Bill "we don't mind if Al Queda wants to bomb San Francisco" O'Reily a voice. This is the same channel that tried to make people believe that Foley was a Democrat when his story broke. This is the same channel that considers Alan Combs and Greta Van Sustern to be the only "left wingers' acceptable to be on the show and thinks that Ann Coulter is "centrist".
You want fair and balanced? Look at the Christian Science Monitor (it really doesn't push the religion and the newspaper is the some of the best news reporting on the globe).

when Fox News actually does the news, which is only about 10% of the time, it reports it fairly fair and balanced. The problem is that 90% of the time they are not reporting the news. They are giving opinions. And those opinions are hardly fair and never balanced.
Now drink the rest of your kool aid and go to bed.

Yes they are balanced .It takes a network like fox that is so far right i watch it for entertainment .So heavily weighted with conservative fanatics that it takes all the other news channels and networks to even out and balance the news .Like everyone they have on talks about how good the economy is and never mentions the 28,000 dollar debt i now owe along with every other american .Guess i will be working till december 30th each year for Uncle Sam I am going to keep one days wages to go out on the 31st and shoot my gun up in the air and if everyone joins me maybe one will hit the person and or people responcible for my debt.

Funny, I doubt you'd get the same assessment of Fox from the liberal channels.
Actually, realize it's all a function of your presuppositions and perspective. NEITHER are fair and balanced. The only way you're going to build an objective opinion on world events is to regularly check several different international news sources to get a better handle on the internal biases that each news source brings with it.
Don't believe me? Try comparing FOX with The Economist sometime.

Fox News Channel is not fair and balanced because it leans heavily to the Conservative views. I hardly ever watch that channel because of the likes of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and other Conservative idiots spewing their rants against Liberals! They talk nothing but rubbish, if you know what I mean!

FOX News should be called the Republican news channel.

Of course not, honestly i know that there is no truly unbiased news channel out there but of all the biased ones fox news is the worse, because they don't even attempt to hide their partisan propaganda

Because they play to their base and don't even try to appease anyone to the left of the spectrum. Since their approach is to ignore this aspect of reality, they're fair to their audience and balanced in their complete one-sided focus.
