Why do so many liberals get on here to bash Fox news? Ever since the Vietnam era, the three major networks (ABC, NBC, and CBS) have absolutely towed the liberal political line. Then a network comes along and gives a conservative perspective, and the liberals go bonkers! Were they so indoctrinated by 40 years of constant liberal media blitz that they cannot deal with an alternative? I mean it is only one of four? (Or five if you count CNN.) These people act like Fox news is the coming of the anti-christ? Why?

Fox is #1 because they are fair. They tell both sides of the story unlike the other 3.

You have stumbled onto a great puzzle.
1. Clearly, there have never been any Democrats on the Boards of any major networks, and few papers, aside from the Post.
2. The media always portrays a false "TV Morality" where June and Ward Cleaver live on every street-corner.
3. Racism is perpetuated by mass media: Example for those who just spewed beer everywhere...Every time a black girl walks onto a popular show's set, they play something racial like "Hey Sister, Soul Sister."
4. They let Paparazzi run the front page while the real meat & potatoes of current events gets rear echeloned.
If all these things are true, then there must be a more complex explanation. I won't share mine, in fear of being labelled. But I can tell you my 2008 bumper sticker...
"Democrats think the fix is in. Republicans know it is."

If a company does not make money they do not stay in business. FOX News presents the conservative slant as MSNBC presents the liberal slant. They both pander to a certain segment of the population. Conservatives watch FOX News, liberals watch MSNBC. They both make money. Why do certain folks bash certain media outlets? Probably the same reason some folks bash certain sports teams, automobile brands, movies, family members, everything. Personal preference.

Because the truth hurts.... and I've actually noticed a somewhat more balanced reporting on the other networks lately. At least some effort is being made and for that Fox should be thanked.

Liberal media blitz according to who, the conservatives? Reports critical of a conservative are not bias if they're true. That's something the cons fail to understand.

It's not just liberals.. Fox News lost a lot of credibility when they sued over the term "Fair and Balanced"

as a results of fact its reason is to lie. an incredible sort of cases the video clips they teach have been clipped in this way of way as to make the speaker look stupid or to make the speaker look to declare the different. this is, to declare the least, very advise and at suited infantile mendacity. FOX is nice purely to those that do no longer provide a tinker's rattling approximately actuality.

Maybe it is not about the news, but about how the news is portrayed. CNN does the same thing about the immigration issue, other than Lou Dobbs they are all cheer leaders for the illegals

short answer ? Bill O'Lielly...
"I have been in combat..."
Bill
really, Bill, when was that ?
"fair, honest and balanced"
Bill
really, Bill, you would not know "fair honest and balanced" if it bit you in the as*s...
as a matter of fact you would not know sh!t from shinola... but that is another matter...
I think it should be called Faux News
Hannity and Colmes ring any bells ?
the founding fathers were raging liberals by any standards, do you find their views offensive ?

Because it seems to be the only news source ya'll cite to back up your reactionist propaganda?
My question is: How can EVERY other news source than Fox News be "liberally biased"? There's something skewed with your logic if you think that.
(Conversely, what is the one source that "liberals" cite as biased? Answer: FOX NEWS. Do you get it now?)
By the way: Fox News plummets in viewers every week. Billy O'Reilly is now second to Keith Olbermann over on MSNBC.

All the other liberal networks are just jealous! They want EVERYONE to think like they do.
