I do believe the free market system is working, all the kool-aid drinkers that hate the Fox news channel hate it for one reason and one reason only, they hate competition to their traditional propaganda that is spewed forth by, CNN, ABC, NBC, and the worst of all CBS. The market is trending towards fair and balanced because of broadcasting a more pro American stance in view not because they lie.

The only true lies have been perpetrated by Dan Rather and the CBS news team for the sole purpose of swaying an election everyone else broadcasts their "view" of events.

Fox has the highest ratings and can charge more per commercial for its product, they are winning because Americans like what they have to say, Period.

They market will correct any bias in the media.

So Sayeth the Impaler!

I seen that Lie part in your question
Are you trying to get Fox banned?
or do they have the "right"

The Right to Lie in the "News"
If ever we needed to know why the biggest media consumers in the world are so badly informed, this pretty well tells it all. The Media Can Legally Lie.
According to Akre and Wilson, the station was initially very excited about the series. But within a week, Fox executives and their attorneys wanted the reporters to use statements from Monsanto representatives that the reporters knew were false and to make other revisions to the story that were in direct conflict with the facts.

Fox editors then tried to force Akre and Wilson to continue to produce the distorted story.

When they refused and threatened to report Fox's actions to the FCC, they were both fired.
Akre and Wilson sued the Fox station and on August 18, 2000, a Florida jury unanimously decided that Akre was wrongfully fired by Fox Television when she refused to broadcast (in the jury's words) “a false, distorted or slanted story” about the widespread use of BGH in dairy cows.
[...] FOX appealed the case, and on February 14, 2003 the Florida Second District Court of Appeals unanimously overturned the settlement awarded to Akre. The Court held that Akre’s threat to report the station’s actions to the FCC did not deserve protection under Florida’s whistle blower statute, because Florida’s whistle blower law states that an employer must violate an adopted “law, rule, or regulation."
In a stunningly narrow interpretation of FCC rules, the Florida Appeals court claimed that the FCC policy against falsification of the news does not rise to the level of a "law, rule, or regulation," it was simply a "policy." Therefore, it is up to the station whether or not it wants to report honestly.
During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves.
Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so.
OK, pick your jaw up off the floor. That some court thinks they CAN is bad enough, that these people assert their right to do so pretty well kicks it all down the hole. And these guys wonder why their credibility is in the toilet and the net is burning them left right and centre.
Oh, and February 2003, 30 days before Iraq.

Liberal media is a myth.

The media are being increasingly monopolized by parent corporations with pro-corporate or conservative agendas.

The U.S. media are rapidly being monopolized by a dwindling number of parent corporations, all of whom have conservative economic agendas. The media are also critically dependent upon corporations for advertising. As a result, the news almost completely ignores corporate crime, as well as pro-labor and pro-consumer issues. Surveys of journalists show that the majority were personally liberal in the 1980s, but today they are centrists, with more conservatives than liberals on economic issues. However, no study has proven that they give their personal bias to the news. On the other hand, the political spectrum of pundits -- who do engage in noisy editorializing -- leans heavily to the right. The most extreme example of this is talk radio, where liberals are almost nonexistent. The Fairness Doctrine was designed to prevent one-sided bias in the media by requiring broadcasters to air opposing views. It once enjoyed the broad support of both liberals and conservatives. But now that the media have become increasingly owned and controlled by corporations, conservatives defiantly oppose the Fairness Doctrine. This is probably the best proof that the media's bias is conservative, not liberal.

If one were to look hard enough they'd find media that is liberal AND conservative.

Either way...those watchers/readers from the specific walks of life feed those that report what they want to believe or hear.

It's my opinion that one should read and watch more than one source of news to get a better picture that would still require one to form their own opinion as to what is really happening!

The liberal control of the media has been in place for so long now that the couch potatoes that feed on it are unable to look at anything else with reason and lack the ability to see beyond the crap they have been feed for so long. The problem boils down to common sense is no match for natural stupidity.

Any time something is said about the "media" there is always some poor baby liberal crying about Fox News, it's really to bad that the left can't stand to hear the truth or even a balanced report on anything that doesn't fit in their plan for the universe. The one great reporter I can remember is Walter Cronkite, and loser dan rather spent his career trying to replace him, not possible.........

May I ask who exactly do the "good, red blooded Americans" consist of??????????????????

If you think that liberals control the media you are sadly mistaken my friend. CNN (as much as I watch it), Fox, NBC... they don't report the whole truth.

Tune into the BBC every now and then and compare it to what our news networks are reporting, I guarantee you will see the difference.

We can only hope that most of America knows what`s best.....The media does not matter if enough Americans are smart enough to think for themselves.
