thats just happens to be the understanding of the term, "Fair and Balanced" at Fox News.

That's a misleading brand the right loves to wear. Fair and balanced means, "See it my way, or else!"

FOX has broken almost every story of importance including all those not favorable to Obama. FOX has a viewership of 3 million which is larger than CNN but fairly small compared to the big 3 ABC NBC CBS. However when FOX breaks news the other networks are forced to either cover or ignore. If they ignore a story to long and the story has legs they look biased and have to suddenly break it to their own audiences 3 days late. Then they have to report by omission to cover themselves and Obama. Their hope is the story will die and then they won`t have to report it. This is why the white house is after FOX and telling their lemmings that it is only entertainment and not follow the lead stories of FOX.

The news department at Fox News is completely fair, balanced, and unbiased. The fact that they lean to the right editorially, as shown by the opinions of the majority of their commentators, is irrelevant.
Does the presence of Keith Olbermann render MSNBC unfair to the Right, in your opinion?
I don't care which way commentators lean as long as the news itself is presented in an unbiased fashion.

Have you ever watched Fox News? It is the only news program that gives both sides a voice. I have yet to see this on any of the major networks. Try watching some day, they have both democrat and republican strategists debating points, and they are BOTH allowed equal time to do so. Show me another station that does this. It is Hannity and COLMES show, not just Hannity. It is nice to hear both sides of a debate and then form your own EDUCATED opinions.

No, it means get the news here where we believe in equal debate, not eletarian nose thumbing at people who have a different point of view.

It balances out the fact that all of the other stations have a hard liberal bias.

could you give an example to support your argument?
Could you also show me a show that has a conservative AND a liberal HOST on it every day, on a station other than Fox news?
Or are you a hypocrite?
