Whether you can paint the entire right wing with the stupidity demonstrated on Fox News, it is certainly not fair and balanced no matter whether you believe other news organizations are too liberal. I rarely watch, but when I do it takes only a few minutes for something stupid to come up. For example, last year when only 3 representatives (democrats) voted in favor of the resolution to get out of Iraq after the Republicans modified it so much the SPONSOR voted against it, the "guest" ranted on minutes about how the 3 "toed the party line" and never mentioned all the Democrats who voted against it. Neither the host or the guest mentioned the modifications.
The "Liberals" who appear on Fox are straw men for whacking by the "Conservatives" who are much better treated on other networks which are supposedly "Liberal"

Fair and balanced is subjective. I don't believe Channels 5, 7 and 2 are fair and balanced. Neither is channel 53, WLS Chicago. They are pro illegal immigrant and anti anyone who thinks differently than they do. Same with newspapers. If they don't like you or they don't like what you propose, they'll slant it to make you look bad. However, the truth always comes out and if we read enough and watch enough and listen to enough different points of views, we'll eventually be able to get to the real truth and solve problems.

People really need to start thinking for themselves. all news channels have an agenda and try to shape their viewers opinions. fox is no exception,but theres only 1 fox. We are deluged by left leaning news everyday . The regular news doesnt even try to say their balanced, why not gripe about that. Its evident that your opinion is ifluenced easily. Americans are smarter than that, time to stop being brainwashed by what some company or interest group wants you to see or here. Use your energy for something productive instead of just whining all the time.

Exactly.Just how Cnn is representative of how liberalism is.All buisnesses driven by money(including news networks )are biased in some way.That's why i watch C-span.They have nothing to lose so they tell the truth more often by not having a news anchor tell you the news.But instead have you look at what the person says.I also listen to public radio.

It's about as fair and balanced as you using YA for your own political sounding board for your views.

Yes, an ACCURATE DEFINITION, by the way. Yours would be to have all reporters to report the news with a left wing slant and to have the talk shows loaded with extreme left wing radicals and ALMOST NEVER have a conservative on the show. If you did, the poor conservative would have to debate at major disadvantages.

Isn't every other news network a clear picture of how fair and balance (sic) is defined by the left wing?

Definitely defined by the right wing, which in itself does not make it fair and balanced.
