Since my last post was removed on posting an article from Fox News
My question would be is CNN more news worthy???
CNN who caters to either being an extension of the Weather Channel or Entertainment Tonight with there never ending stories on Brittney and Lindsay???
Fox News is Pro Military
Fox News is equal and balanced
Fox News equally confronts Lefty Whacked out Liberals and Over the Top Right Wing Nuts.
Fox News condones family values and faith based initiatives
Fox News is decent when Atheist Dawkins comes on or Bill Maher who has a long riunning battle going on with religion, even though he states he would like to have Supper with Jesus.
So why is Fox News not News worthy to posters on the R&S Site?

I stopped watching CNN before there was Fox News. When it gets close to election time CNN gets totally disgusting with their Democrat slanted news. I cannot stand that news channel!

thank you! you have relatively stepped forward the point of public discourse in this usa with your pathetic stereotyping of Republicans. Wow! you're an open minded tolerant man or woman to be sure. Your question is so ridiculous and unhappy. Why no longer check out the demographics of Fox visitors...it may desire to ask your self you. what's incredibly going on is you have offered in to a cariacature of Fox by employing people who oppose its philosophy of offering a extra balanced view of the information. Does Fox tilt good? purely particularly. even with the incontrovertible fact that it would not start to stability something of the television media that's blatantly, depressingly, obnoxiously, and dangerously left wing.

I don't necessarily like CNN either. I try to get my news from all over. Having said that, I suggest you do the same. I also like to READ the news. When you watch it there are all kinds of additional things done to get you to lean one way or the other, even more so than with writing.
Watch the documentary OUTFOXED and then tell me what you think of Fox News. Study up on Rupert Murdoch too....see how he changed the whole news business by making things so sensationalized.
Oh and the "Equal and Balanced" **** is a lie. They have REALLY brainwashed you. Is it equal and balanced because THEY tell you it is?

FOX is generally biased and CNN just plain sucks.
Citing a few cases where left-wingers get even handed treatment does not mean that there is not a general bias on FOX.
Note, for example, that during the Scooter Libby news, they went to great pains to avoid saying that Libby had been convicted of a crime. Not just on one show - but across all their shows.
CNN has what I would call a fish and toilet paper bias. In other words, they will sensationalize anything in order to draw more advertisers and sell more fish and toilet paper.

A news station should not take sides politically on issues, or have "initiatives" of any type. Their job is to report what actually happened, not how they feel about it.
"Unbiased" news, or news that is not "spun", does not exist. Fox is notoriously right-wing, and based on the questions and answers you post here I can understand why you see their content as pure. It's far, FAR from it.

Fox News isn't even respected within their own industry. They are a laughing stock with a high bankroll. Read the Watercooler message board of TVSpy sometime, and learn what people who work in the news business really think of Faux News.

Fox News has been shown to be incredibly biased. Get over it.
Most American news agencys are either biased or cowed by the establishment, but Fox News is just a Murdoch editorial.

Uh . . . . neither is more newsworthy. First of all, you just stated all of these OPINIONS that Fox News stands for. No good news source supports opinions.
I don't watch television news for that reason. I don't need CNN or Fox to tell me what to believe.

"pro-military" means biased towards the military.
"condones family values and faith-based initiatives" means biased towards these two views
"decent" means barely tolerates Dawkins or Maher/uses them as a punch line. Sort of like the Party in 1984 "tolerated" dissenters during rallies.
All of that equals spinning their news.

If you think Fox news isn't biased I can't help ya. You probably lean as far to the right as they do. I don't have a problem with them though they have a right to do things the way they want to.

If Fox is "pro ANYTHING", it is spin! If it "condones" anything, it's spin. You admit upfront it is not objective. You prove it's not "fair and balanced".
Fox is not news it's op/ed at best, the propaganda wing of the Republican Party at worse. It's Bush's personal al-Jazeera.
And just saying it's "fair and balanced" doesn't make it so. I could say I'm 7'2" tall, but it doesn't make it so.
