Do Republicans really think Fox News is unbiased?

Answer 1

Of course they don't. But they're certain that most educated journalists are unable to side with their narrow views, so they label the journalists "left" and send in an army to combat them. Clever.

The comment "you don't watch, so how can you know?" is amazing, isn't it? I've watched this Fox nonsense now and then. I love it when Ann Coulter is displayed as if she were a pundit. Astounding.

I also agree with Aaron, above.

How many times do you have to watch "Jackass" before you are allowed to dismiss it as tripe?

Answer 2

When there is an important issue before congress watch C-SPAN then watch the different news organizations that evening and decide what bias you feel different organizations have placed on what you actually saw happen during the day. I've done this on a few occasions and the experience was the same. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC & CNN took information out of context and did not acurately portray what the various politicians stated. FOX news was by far the most acurate in keeping comments in context and stating what actually occurred. CNN was the most guilty of taking a small sound bite that didn't properly represent the situation and kept playing it over and over again.

I didn't used to think the bias was as bad as it really is though please do this yourself and you will see how rediculously liberally bias ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC & CNN are. You will also notice FOX news gives the most accurate representation of the days events and of peoples actual positions.

By the way Chris Mathews was a speach writter for Jimmy Carter and an aide for Tip O'Neil. Do you really think he isn't bias?

George Stephanopolus worked for the Clinton administration.

Cokie Roberts comes from a long line of Democrat politicians.

Answer 3

I don't believe they are unbiased, BUT, they do give equal time to the other side. The problem with network stations is that they claim to be unbiased and view equal time as having a liberal host and a panel of three liberals and one conservative.

DANCER - Hannity and Colmes is not a fair fight. There has to be a more competent liberal out there to face off against Hannity. Colmes is basically fodder.

Answer 4

i'm liberal and i think all news stations are biased towards one thing or the other whether its obvious or not humans, by nature, cannot be fair and see things equally but i watch fox anyway. my dad is a dyed-in-the-wool democrat and says all republicans should be lined up and shot so he watches CNN but i have a friend who's a republican but he watches CNN because he says Fox is too liberal!!!!! See what i mean?

Answer 5

Not unbiased, simply less biased in that its hard news is typically actually news rather than news commentary and its news commentary does a much better job at bringing in multiple views than CNN or MSNBC.

Answer 6

Haha yeah, they actually do. I've seen answers to questions from Cons who really do think Fox News is real, unbiased news. As I've said before, it's really nothing more than entertainment television for Republicans, period.

Answer 7

I am neither a Republican or Democrat and have found that Fox news does provide more unbiased information than any other cable news program. Much of it is perception, if you want to hear only your views it becomes difficult to listen to an honest balanced view without feeling it is just wrong. The other cable news programs do lean left and provide their audience with exactly what they want to hear and most liberals are very comfortable with that.

Answer 8

It's kind of like how kids believe there's an Easter Bunny. You don't want to tell them otherwise.

Answer 9

Of course not. They know it's very biased. They just like to say it's unbiased to anger liberals.

Answer 10

All news is biased. I don't think they claim to be unbiased. They claim to be balanced and I would say that are more balanced then any other news network
