Well if you don't want to look at the study and the facts they show, I guess that is your right.

That is sheer opinion based on nothing of fact.

Wasn't fox the network that called Michelle Obama, BABY MOMMA?


There is one show that I think is fair and balanced and for the life of me I can't remember the name of it.

Fox 'NEWS' is fair and balanced. Where fox gets it rap is with their opinion shows; H&C etc... which of course, are not news. Cnn has them, msnbc has them. I suppose some could nitpick and be critical of the news ticker and stuff, but really who cares and switching channels is easy. I like Shepherd Smith's hours the most, one day he might smile.

I will definitely have them tuned in along with others Tuesday night, along with all the computers running the local races/counties in battlegrounds etc...

It's nice living in this day and age where you can completely consume information.

two months reflected positively on Obama in 65 percent of cases, compared to 31 percent of cases with regards to McCain, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs.


I guess it depends - if the election numbers come close to that, maybe they're just reflecting the truth.

Are NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox owned and operated as businesses? If a person doesn't like what a business is doing they don't buy their stock, they don't frequent their venues.

Business are in business to make money. None of them have the responsibility to be fair or balanced.

If fair and balanced is desired across the board then it needs to be legislated. (Remember that this will also apply to all of that right wing hate radio out there)

Actually, it is a proven fact, FOX is not fair and/or balanced. I have listened to McCain, and to Palin. They each spend most of their time bashing Obama, instead of telling us what they will do. As far as FOX is concerned, Obama can't do anything right, and McCain can't do anything wrong. That kind of bias, is never fair or balanced. Most Republicans I know, even admit FOX has at least a lean to the right.
