and call it all lies but then use sources like daily kos, media matters, move on and LA and NY times and act like they are gods gift to truth ?
when anyone that reads them can see an obvious bias .
is it fox news blows their msnbc ratings out of the water on replays of shows from earlier in the day ?

I discovered Fox news a few months ago and I love it. I am a Democrat though. I feel that most of the journalists on Fox are ok. There is Bill O'Reilly of course. He and the people helping him hos his show have shown bias against certain democratic rights and guests expressing these rights. I have emailed Bill O'Reilly on these matters. Like at one time last week there was an anti war protestor lady on the O'Reilly Factor and Bill was in Afghanistan at the time. The woman who anchored the show for Bill was so against this anti war guest she would not let her get a word in and talked over her the whole time. It was so unprofessional. Did you see it? I wrote to Mr. O'Reilly about that.
I especially like the show on Fox in the early morning with Bill Hemmer and Megayn Kelly - American Newsroom. Those two are great together doing a news show.

I think if you could do a FACT check on all the entities you mentioned, you'd find the progressive ones hard to refute, and FAUX News to be close to devoid of any relevant facts, in their commentaries, and in any reporting where the bias is obvious.
At bottom, it's FACTS that count. And the right wing has relatively few *relevant* ones.
And when progressives present relevant facts, they almost always ARE facts. And thus, truths. Irrefutable.

Because it is not a news channel. It is a 24-hour a day comedy channel presented in the "news" format and appealing to Boobus Americanus who doesn't have half a brain.
It is only for that 27-31% of the country who thinks Geoge Bush is a good president and who believes everything the adminstration says - about anything.
And, until you show the source for your ratings, I'm going to have to say you are sadly mistaken. Fox only comes in first on the occasion when they are exploiting Britney or Paris or someother worthless piece of goods.
Thinking human beings would never turn to them for real news - about anything.

Because FoxNews is against them. I have never witnessed anyone saying FoxNews produces nothing but lies. The problem is that FoxNews claims that they are a fair and balanced network yet the majority of their news/commentary is anti-left. If you haven't noticed, all networks are biased when commentary is involved. That's just how things play out.
By the way, ratings are irreverent if you ask me. Ratings have nothing to do with facts or balanced news.

The left wingers are AFRAID of Fox News !!! They greatly fear folks thinking opposite of what they think and preach and rant and rave about. They want all of the American citizens to think like THEY think. Fox News is a danger to them........for
Fox News gives us the OTHER SIDE of things !! I have noticed that many on Fox News do not hesitate to talk about God, and their faith on certain issues........boy oh boy, that would be anathema to the leftists in THEIR media.......it is not 'politically correct'. Political correctness is a huge sham......and a waste of ones time.....and hugely detrimental to the welfare of this nation.

In this world of misinformation, and misdirection, it's better to believe in what you think and see, rather than what anyone tells you. Fox news, CNN, MSNBC, they all distort the truth to fit their own agenda.

Fox news puts out pretty good fantasy shows for conservatives who prefer to live in the land of denial, like the rest of the cable news networks. What ever floats your boat.
With the internet, I do my own research, and I don't pay much attention to any of the sources you list. Read many sources, and put the pieces of the puzzle together if you are really interested in news about the events of this world.
If FOX is your primary source of info, then you have been had.

I don't read, listen to, or watch biased politics of any kind. I use the media for news and entrainment. I am a Democrat that used to watch Fox until they became so biased I couldn't stand it anymore. I miss Gretchen though.
