Greetings! FOX news is not only unfair and unbalanced, but Hypocritical as well.
Yes, CNN has a liberal slant, that's a given. FOX makes it's name by screaming obscenities to CNN and "all other networks for their skewed slants". But then FOX turns around and skews it's own views toward the arch conservative angle.
To me, both are wrong. News needs to be mentioned and there is no problem with editorializing, as I see it. But it is hypocritical to say one is doing one thing, then do the EXACT same thing from a different perspective.
The bottom line in any news media market is that the producers of these major newscasts would sell their wives and daughters into slavery if they thought that the story they create would win them a Pulitzer.
Both sides want a story and they really don't care how they get it. That's the way the media is.
Hope this helps. Take care.

Yeah, Fox is real balanced...HA.
Though I just wanted to comment how people on both extremes of the parties, hardcore dems and republicans, both say that the whole media system is too conservative or liberal (respectively).
Thats why comedians are better news anchors. They just make fun of anyone who's screwing things up, and right now, the Grand Ol' Party is doing a lot of that. Someday the democrats will be back in the white house to start screwing things up too.

specific, the information classes in the morning and Shepard Smith's comments extremely are approximately as honest and balanced as you will get. it extremely is to no longer say they are thoroughly impartial. no person provides you a thoroughly impartial checklist on activities. yet for the main area, you realize while Fox hosts are editorializing. CNN and the others attempt to bypass off editorialization as certainty and not opinion. What makes Fox information extra 'honest' (considering that fairness is a in basic terms subjective term) than the different networks is that once O'Reilly, Beck, and Hannity are on, you're made conscious that their shows are assertion/opinion shows. Glenn Beck tells his aim industry a number of cases each week that he's no longer a journalist. Plus, do you think of those adult men would desire to get a instruct on (P)MSNBC? Beck wasn't even allowed on enormous CNN yet had to settle for CNN Headline information it extremely is now a misnomer because of the fact it left the 'headlines each a million/2 hour format'.

Yea, because the Communist News Network does such a great job being impartial. That last Republican debate was an ambush.
I am proud that they stood up there and took it like men. The Dems would have gone off and sulked in the corner.

Being brainwashed.
Being delusional.
Being dishonest.
I'm sure there are other reasons that people believe that false slogan, but this is all the I have for right now.

Don't watch them. Don't watch CNN or MSNBC either. Most TV news is designed to draw a crowd so they can sell stuff to a captive audience during the commercial breaks.

Since they are the only news organization that has a Republican bent, you could say that their existence IS the balance.
Are you going to tell me that there is no liberal bias at the other networks?
