I never said that FOX, as a network, is conservative. I did say they are right-leaning, which they certainly are.

Do you really WANT a network that is undeniably all conservative? That would only put it the mold of MSNBC, just from the opposite perspective. Won't win many conversions with that tactic.

Judge FOX as ANY news network should be, a fair presenter of all facts...allowing viewers to reach their own conclusions.

Putting Beckel's views alongside those of Bolling, for example, is far preferable to only airing Bolling's. Sure, you and I would enjoy it more, but a network cannot survive by only pleasing FReepers.

I'm glad you rescinded the 'Liberal' label on Krauthammer. And Pirro of late has been absolutely pounding Obama & Co. I care not what she may have been in the past, she is doing a great job in her present position.

Which isn't saying a lot, really.

As a remainder, THIS is the name of this thread:

The 100 Most Popular Conservative Websites For 2013. FOX News, #1?? This poll is either a big joke, or those polled are guzzling Koolade by the barrel.

Do you really WANT a network that is undeniably all conservative? That would only put it the mold of MSNBC, just from the opposite perspective.

Yes. In case you didn't get that, YES!!

I disagree, because MSNBC engages in nothing but outright hyperbolic LIES and PROPAGANDA. A purely "conservative" network would not out of principle. Now if you're inferring that FOX is in any way "winning over converts" by preaching half-liberal lies and half-conservative truth with its "Fair & Balanced" meme, than you're deluding yourself.

The reason ANY liberals watch FOX is to get THE truth (when the half of "conservative" FOX pundits are reporting it.)

Judge FOX as ANY news network should be, a fair presenter of all facts...allowing viewers to reach their own conclusions.

(Here's an uncomfortable "fact"; all too often FOX News does NOT present "the facts"; in fact it embarrassingly dilutes them.)

Putting Beckel's views alongside those of Bolling, for example, is far preferable to only airing Bolling's. Sure, you and I would enjoy it more, but a network cannot survive by only pleasing FReepers.

I beg to differ; Beckel is a liberal, lying propagandist. And YES, a "conservative" news network can INDEED not only "survive," but thrive -- "facts" need not be altered or "softened" for a liberal audience. If they want BS "facts" and reporting, they can watch a half-dozen other liberal/left propaganda outlets.

I'm glad you rescinded the 'Liberal' label on Krauthammer. And Pirro of late has been absolutely pounding Obama & Co. I care not what she may have been in the past, she is doing a great job in her present position.

You're right; Pirro IS doing a great job. NOW. But Kraut -- though not a "liberal," is often a disappointing NWO-globalist tool. JMO.
