Study proves this.

I agree with you...to a point. When reporting the news, then they are supposed to be fair and balanced. The news, in and of itself, is not a business in the sense of a department store. People rely on the news, to tell us truthfully, what is going on in the world. We have every right to expect to hear fair and balanced reporting, rather than biased propaganda.

>>I wonder why they didn't include CNN or MSNBC in these results? I know I get more from them than I do from TV. I also listen to NPR, which has done a pretty good job of reflecting both candidates.<<

I think that's a good question and the answer becomes pretty clear when one realizes that the "self-described non-partisan" CMPA did the study. They had an agenda to "prove", so they left out the networks that might not have given them the results they wanted.

Yup, and Fox was the one whose hosts asked questions suggesting Senator Obama is a different religion than he is, that he went to a terrorist-training like Madras, that his high five fist bump with his wife was a terrorist sign, that he is hiding greater connections with Ayers and all the like.

In past Presidential elections, Fox was the one that made possible the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth and all their lies about Kerry's honorable service record. In 2000, Fox called the election for Bush with absolutely no basis at all after coordinating with the Bush campaign all night - and later was forced to apologize about it - making it a huge uphill climb for Gore.

Fox and Murdoch, as everyone knows, are hard wired into the worst, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin part of the Republican Party. They have no credibility as a "Fair and Balanced" news source. It's over. The poster who started this thread just doesn't realize it.

"Don't buy it. The guy who conducted the study has worked for the neocons at the American Enterprise Institute and is a paid consultant to Fox News."

Thank you. It's hard to keep the truth out about Fox. Fox and its supporters unfortunately use the same kind of sophisticated tactics to try to appear neutral as they do to attack the Democrats all the while.

That is why I use the term fops, for Fox-Republican officials and politicians. It reminds people of how Murdoch's multi-billion dollar Fox Network is a propaganda machine for the worst, most foppish part of the Republican Party in Bush, Rove, Cheney, Palin and the like.

We just can't overlook this anymore. The fops have hurt America too badly and will keep hurting it until we start making decisions based on reality rather than fantasy. I call on everyone to use the term fops. It may sound harsh. But it is not namecalling. It is accurate. I wish it weren't. I wish the fops were better than they are. But if America is going to recover from this drunken spending warring spree, we are going to have to get real. It's fops for me.

Yes after she referred to Barack as her baby's daddy.

No, nor do I think she does.
