Fox's straight news is the most balanced of any of them.

Their opinion shows make no bones about their bias. I greatly prefer that to those who try to pretend to be unbiased while using the editorial process to tilt the news- that would be CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS. What they're doing amounts to nothing less than propagandizing.

While I disagree with the opinions on MSNBC for the most part, they're at least honest enough to not pretend to be unbiased.

ALL news is biased. If they do not engage in bias in the way they report, they most certainly do in WHAT they report.

Bush was excoriated for Katrina. Obama still hasn't responded to the Nashville flooding... but not a peep from his fans in the supposed mainstream media.

Remember the daily body counts from the Middle East when Bush was in office? Where did those go? Remember the questions of Bush's "gravitas"? They're just now beginning to question Obama's response to the oil spill after 53 days.

The greatest bias isn't how things are reported... it is in what the editors choose to report.

Obama hasn't even met with the BP CEO and has BP running the show. There is a company that makes Booms which is waiting on BP to bring them onbaord ... not the White House ... BP ... while the coast is getting destroyed.

But this is what you get when you elect a President who always voted "Present" and has NO background in any form of business or management.

I referenced that in post #2, and was surprised that he hadn't beat me to the thread. Perhaps he suspects it's a trap.

Fox News is anything but fair and balanced. It is the most biased major news network in this country. It makes me laugh (and also sad) when people call "fair and balanced" only those opinions with which they agree. And, no, I'm not a "liberal."

CNN is very biased also. Especially back when it was election time.

I lived during the days before Fox News, and you may be correct about their Bias, however without them we would be flooded with ONLY CBS, NBC, and CNN Liberial and Bias reporting. I am not a hugh fan of Fox .... but their very presence gives us a balanced report when compared to the others :hi:

In the view of Fox editorial staff (which is everyone employed there), Liberty U. > Southern Cal and all the liberal elite heathens of Los Angeles and so anything to knock them is worthwhile.

Ok, somewhat reaching here.

Somewhat.

Fox News opinion is slanted to the right (S Hannety and G Beck in particular) while MSNBC and CNN are slanted to the left. Opinion shows (editorials) do not show bias in news reporting. Fox is by far the most fair and balanced in its news reporting than any of the other networks, and that is a big reason their viewership is much larger than their "competition".

That's debatable.

Fox does aggresive news stories regarding corruption and incompetence equally regardless of whether it favors the left or right while the others overemphasize critism of the right and in many cases completely ignore valid stories about problems with the left. Here is one fact - in 2008 Presidential election FoxNews had 40% favorable stories about J McCain and 41% about Obama while all their competition were slanted heavily 3 to 1 - 6 to 1 in favor of Obama. Check out the long list of facts in this website on Media bias 101: Media Bias 101: What Journalists Really Think -- and What the Public Thinks About the Media

There is no realistic debate.

You misunderstand. I'm saying it's debatable that the main reason Fox "puts up higher numbers than the competition" is that they are "more fair and balanced".
