why are wacko left wing bloggers claiming that Fox News is too conservative when 99% of the Media is Liberal?

Fox clearly leans right, and they make no bones about it. All well and good... but then they sort of lose the right to go on about being "fair and balanced," don't they? I mean, they ARE the 'balance' to liberal media outlets like NPR, ABC, NBC and CBS (see bs), but in and of themselves, they are not internally balanced.

Because if they do not agree with you, they do not want to hear what you have to say...they also like to generalize...like the war protester I saw on TV the other night...claimed all the soldiers are against the war, but when asked how many soldiers she had talked to she 15 or 20...that is the Liberal Media's mentality...they want you to only believe what they tell you...Fox does lean Right, but they do have Liberals on their shows...when has NBC, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, or any other Liberal outlet done that? Well never...

Because it is!
Let's put an example on The O'Reilly Factor for instance. There are many segments on his show where he puts Michelle Malkin and Kirsten Powers on the show to debate the topics.
Anyone who is half-way intelligent would see that Kirsten Powers is no liberal, but a Fox puppet to make it appear that liberal views are being discussed, as O'Reilly won't give any true liberal thinkers a word in edgewise on his show.
Other Fox News programs are not that different.

There are some liberal bloggers that think CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNBC are too conservative also. If you want to see scary go take a look at DailyKos, alot of those people are simply out of touch with reality.

If 99% of the media is liberal, and Fox News is conservative, then by mathematical axiom, Fox is too conservative and not liberal enough
I'm just using your own words.

Liberals are very threatened by the conservative's ONLY non-liberal biased news source. So they are going to keep complaining and hope they can somehow get rid of Fox News so they can keep throwing their liberal propaganda down our throats.

99%?
Have you listened to talk radio, ever? Conservatives pretty much have a monopoly on that. The major liberal outlet, Air America, was pretty much dead on arrival.
Many newspapers and magazines and online news sources lean to the right as well.

I'm not American but I do get Fox news here in Ireland. Its goddamn hilarious. If the tried to broadcast that in Europe they would have to call it Fox Current Affairs or The Fox Show. News Programmes here have to be unbiased by law.

Thank god we at least have one news outlet to tell the other side of the argument. That is what our country was based on, free speech, open discussion, then VOTE. THEN SUPPORT THE WINNERS UNTIL THE NEXT VOTE. Stop whinning like children.

All of the talking heads on fox, of any consequence, just beat night and day on all the RNC daily talking points. That makes them a propaganda tool of the RNC.
