Fox is trying to be too liberal now. They should just tell the truth and stop trying to pretend that the liberals have a 50/50 chance of being right on every issue.

". It is as slanted to the right as the MSM is to the left"


Naaahhh, they may be biased a little to the right but nothing near the leftward bias of the so-called main stream media.

I love the tormented looks on the liberal cable network anchors when a discussion should present itself to mention Fox News and their shoveling the you know what right pass it like Fox News doesn't even exist. I would love to see a movie sequel to "Liar Liar" but this time its Dan Rather and CBS who must tell the truth because Sean Hannity's kid wished it on his birthday! lol Never mind me I'm just dreaming!

One of the many nice things about XM Radio is I can listen to the FoxNews audio feed while at the office. Very nice.

Oh come on.

I am very watchful for bias of any type, but in the actual news reporting, it is straight without bias.

Most people simply can't discern the difference between reporting in the day and commentary during the day or in the evening.

You are right that slanting can come from what you choose to cover, but HOW you cover the story is more important.

I remember reading the memos the Outfoxed people released, and was rather impressed about how Moody tells the staff to look for angles that get underplayed etc.

Yet, still being fair and balanced.

Objectivity is impossible, but you can be fair and balanced, and I think Fox has that.

Now, a couple years ago, I would say I thought at times the news reporting itself was slanted to the right. I don't see that anymore.

But boy, I do remember one report in 2000 about Bush's inauguration. My jaw dropped with how outrageously pro-Bush it was. It made disparaging comments toward Clinton and everything.

Today though, at least in my opinion, I don't see a bias in their straight reporting.

Impressive, how you're more discerning than I and most other people.

ABC radio news is terrible. It's not only biased, it's also stupid.

That's fine with me, but to suggest FNC plays it straight down the middle is simply not so, IMHO. It is as slanted to the right as the MSM is to the left.

Are you kidding?

I've said many times that I'm looking forward to the day we have a conservative news channel. Fox doesn't begin to fill the bill for that.

Maybe now that Rush has an in at CNN, he can take over. He wouldn't even have to change the call letters, CNN. Conservative News Network. THAT would smoke the libs.

Similar calculations show that Fox News’ Special Report is significantly closer to the center than all media outlets except the Drudge Report.

--from a study by professors from the University of Chicago and Stanford.
