They seem to take a great deal of pride in being "Fair and Balanced".
I ask, fair to whom and balanced with what?
Who makes the determination?

The Viewer has a lot to do with determining if they are fair and balanced or they would not tune in.
I listen to the Alphabet Stations and hear one falsehood after another as well as seeing incomplete reporting of all the facts per story. Since I am a journalist, I can 'hear' the truth and the lie, maybe easier than most. It's totally unfair to the American public to be this irresponsible. Truth used to include ethics and integrity--not now.
The TRUTH scares most people now because they have been lied to so long that they don't know the truth when they see it. Hilter did the same thing in Germany so watch out America!

By starting with the FACTS of the story/event...then whatever Fox's guest/analyists/political party mouthpieces,etc.... SAY is THEIR opinion or THEIR analysis...
maybe its good/bad or has a point or idea that U did not think of (yet)...
It IS fair because they DO NOTtry and GIVE you the story/event/ PER THEIR interpretation of what happened...
The difference is simple...
--Fox tries to deliver the info frist then provide two common and often opposing viewpoints...
--The others are owned /operated by media mogles who BELIEVE that the poor stupid public MUST be lead to the only "TRUE" way society must evolve if we are to evolve into a world society AS THEY SEE IT (and control the bulk of the assesst producing industries/companies)...
The "news" is always what someone selects as "important,tintillating or dirt on heir favorite hollywood twit.
the difference is that instead of everyones rant about what they think at the local bar ..fox presents the facts before the rants start...

The side that makes the most money and gets the most viewers for them, dude is right it is all propaganda now, propaganda is destroying our world. There is no fair and balanced truth any more I have some truth they need and they would not put it in the main stream media if they could because it is not popular propaganda. My question is what do I do to get them to admit it and get it in there?

The same comments and questions could be asked of CNN and MSNBC, sir, as they take great pride in reporting the "truth." The bottom line is we are all free to listen to what we want and believe what we want, and as part of a free society, having many different viewpoints is critical to forming our own beliefs.
