Everything else is just liberal garbage.
If Al Franken was so smart, how come he's not on the air anymore?

Because the media has a liberal agenda, you can't trust anything you see on the news anymore.

Please have an open mind and do the following:
Some day when there is a big issue in congress watch c-span then that night watch CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC & FOX and decide who accurately depicts the truth of what occurred during the day. I've done this on several occasions and was amazed at how identical CBS, NBC and ABC were. Ever so slightly different were MSNBC & CNN. FOX was significantly different than all of the other news channels. Everyone except FOX had a story that did not resemble what actually occurred in congress that day. They took statements out of context, took small sound bites that didn't convey the legislator's speach as a whole or their main opinion and conveyed these misrepresentations as the days news. FOX was the only station that accurately portrayed the day's events and what was said by both sides.
I know I'll get thumbs down for this though all I am asking is that you watch c-span on a day of important legislation then watch the main stream media and FOX and make a decision for yourself. I didn't buy into the liberal bias before I did this myself and now it is so apparent it's really sad. Please do this and have an open mind. Don't just take what people say including me. Do this for yourself and I think you will be amazed to find FOX really does accurately portray the news and the others are bias.

Excellent question! I have tried to watch CNN, Headline News, MSNBC, and the big three's nightly news. But you turn on Fox News, and you're just hooked. CNN as of late is on a bash Bill O'Reilley kick. Desperation maybe? Fox is right leaning occasionally, but its not the spoon-fed liberal garbage we endured for 30 + years. The other channels think they can continue their downward spiral and beat Fox News. With folks like Sean Penn, Soros, Kevin Spacey gracing their presence, the other channels are star-struck. BTW, al Franken makes me laugh, even harder when I found out he was serious.....HAHAHAHAHA, Al Franken is STILL a comedian

Wow... you've really flipped, haven't you?
Just don't forget that Rupert Murdoch (the owner of Fox News) is a capitalist first...
He is not always on your side...
Do you ever question why they gave Hillary Clinton such a fantastic interview last Sunday?
Don't be easily manipulated into thinking that these news companies are "on your side"... they are very clever and you don't know what kind of deals they have going on...
I tell you the truth.
The media is it's own party... they have the bottom line in mind and nothing more... it's all about advertising dollars... whoever offers the most, controls the future.

I didn't even know Al Franken was on the air. That is hilarious. I am sad to see more people didn't get the joke. Maybe you should start your own news organization. I would totally watch it.

Hey now if Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell started reporting on Fox News, then Maybe, just maybe there would be some truth coming from them.
I mean there is nobody at all who is so unbiased and tolerant and non hate filled as Rosie O'Donnell.
Hey Mormon Boy- What's a book? And why should I read one?
LOL
OK but seriously the only thing CNN has going for them is Glenn Beck- how did he end up on CNN anyway?

I try not to believe all of what i am told and only a portion of what i see. All news stations are all about ratings. Not so much for the news anymore. Its all about what they can put on that will have more followers. Unfortunately that means some really good news gets skipped over. I personally prefer Fox news over the others. I also watch Nancy Grace tho at times she really ticks me of because if someone starts to say something that makes sense that she doesn't like she cuts them off. But beware of it all!!

At least Fox News always has a liberal and a conservative debating. UNLIKE CNN or othe networks which present a liberal and a liberal

Wow. That's not exposing your bias at all is it?
How about just asking for a media channel to offer views from both sides instead of just one?
That way you can decide what makes more sense to you.
Fox News has its own bias, and some might call it conservative garbage....
