Now obviously the interviewer was critical of him, but what would be the point of having a man completely agree with him during an interview? If they were really a purely "right winger propaganda machine" like so many say, would they have had him on in the first place?

I agree 100%. I do believe them to be fair, and it wouldn't make an interesting interview if his interviewer couldn't ask questions the audience are curious to. I see most of the interviews they do to ask questions pertaining to all parties. And, they usually do have reliable resources. I also think they have their fair amount of programs presenting advocates from many angles. Finally someone who also admits they do try to be fair.

First off, Bill Clinton at the time was promoting some kind of charity for Africa. Rupert Murdoch (you know the guy who owns Fox and Fox News, but the conservatives try to distance themselves away from him because he is actually a democrat) supported Clinton's charity. As such, he wanted Fox News to interveiw him and Fox News went along with it thinking they could try to pull the wool over Clinton's eyes and trick him. The problem is that Fox News is a known conservative sympathizer and Clinton was ready for the accusations. The guy that actually interveiwed Clinton is a second rate journalist that wanted to be "the man that tricked Bill Clinton" so he try to portray himself as a innocent in the whole ordeal. In the end, it showed America how biased Fox News really is and how mad the Democratic base was.
As for Fox News' image as a right wing sympathizer, it became very apparent to me this morning while I was watching an episode of "Fox and Friends." They ran a promo for an upcoming story. The by-line said "Cheney calls out the Democrats" while the announcer said "Why did Cheney call out the liberal left wing?" Now, here is my question. Is Fox News trying to use some sort of media deception by implying that all democrats are liberal left wingers and none are moderate? If that is the case and Fox News thnks that all of America is going to fall for that third grade publicizing, than how biased does that make Fox News look? Certainly appears a little right wing leaning, err I mean Republican leaning to me.

Oh give it a rest, I can ask any question in such a way that it will come out negative if i want to. If you really want to know what is going on don't be defensive about the source. Find out who owns the source and then Analise what the bias is. Yellow journalism is unfortunately alive and well on both the right and the left. Spend more time finding out the truth than defending your viewpoint.

Fox frequently lets people with some amazingly left wing views come on the show. Most of the commentators tend to give exremists of both sides a hard time, unlike the mainstream media which seldom has right wingers on unless it is to ambush them and pillory them for the amusement of their audience. Left wingers on ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. hardly ever get a grilling from the interviewer. That is why most of America watches Fox.

i imagine we in common words have conservative information bias, from Fox, CNN, MSNBC, lengthy island cases, and so on. What makes you imagine there is ANY liberal bias interior the major U.S. information businesses? and that is a real project. that is a higher project than "terrorist fist bumps," or "flying a jet and getting shot down does no longer instantly away entitle someone to be President."

Because "fair and balance" means both sides of the news. Not just the bad, but also the good. Clinton was interviewed because the democrats voice is welcomed on Fox. Like the network says, "we report, you decide." Boxer was praised for asking Condi "hard questions", but Fox is trashed for the same reasons.

The Middle East will never be peaceful without ending the Israeli occupation. This is the conclusion of the UN, EU, Backer-Hamilton report, and President Carter new book.No one could NOT change his mind unless he has no mind. Occupying other people by force is losing policy in the past and now and has no future.

Fox News is a joke. I can't believe that a educated person would watch this network for legitimate news. It's like the National Enquirer of news, Like Professional Wrestling of sports.

Comic relief ala National Lampoon. It was really a display of how fast he could make up the most ridiculous outrageously lying answer to nonsensical questions about petty unimportant l-b-s (liberal bull s-it).

I've seen Bush do interviews on MANY different news channels with many different programs...
does that mean that they are all aren't "liberal media" and are unbais too?
I don't think interviewing someone makes you bias or unbias... you can interview anyone and make your point...
