It is owned by Rupert Murdoch. During the lead up to the war in Iraq, the editors of Murdoch's some 175 media holdings vociferously supported President Bush's and Prime Minister Tony Blair's pro-war campaign, leading one British reporter to write, "You have got to admit that Rupert Murdoch is one canny press tycoon because he has an unerring ability to choose editors across the world who think just like him. How else can we explain the extraordinary unity of thought in his newspaper empire about the need to make war on Iraq?
If it is fair and balanced, how do you explain that?

Oh yeah? I have seen water on fire! Did you ever watch A Civil Action? (chemicals get dumped from a factory into the water, kids fire off fireworks in the direction, and the whole lake goes up)

I would say it is biased, to the Republicans, but hey the liberals have control of most of the tv networks, ABC, CBS, CNN, and of course, MSNBC. Let the Republicans have a network.
only 1 Conservative news media against 4 liberal news media or more?

Yes, despite the propaganda to the contrary. Even if it isn't, why shouldn't conservatives have a news outlet bent to their thinking? CNN, ABC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NPR, I'm sure I've missed some, and most of the newspapers and news magazines are liberally bent. Is one conservative leaning news organization such a threat?

No, they're not. In terms of the war, ALL the mainstream media was on board, though. It wasn't just FOX News.
