    Well yes and no. They have a news section, but it is interesting what they pick for news sometimes. Same goes for MSNBC.

    Really? MSNBC admits they ain't fair and balanced? Didn't know that.

    I do know that FNS declares themselves to be fair and balanced, which most people realize isn't true. As I said elsewhere, they often don't give the left a fair and equal shot to put out their side of an issue. But they do air news stories that are critical of the GOP, and they do have lefties on that take their shots at the right on a variety of issues. So they ain't perfect, but who is? Are there any other major news outlets who are F&B? Anyone else out there that doesn't scrub their stories out there to fit their political philosophy? AND, anyone else out there that is right-leaning? Why is it bad to have somebody on the conservative side with so many already on the liberal side? Seems almost childish to complain about an outlet that criticizes the president or Congress. When warranted, that's really what journalism is supposed to be all about. You say sometimes they do, I say not often enough. Republican or Democrat, I don't care; the media oughta be investigating and reporting any wrongdoing or questionable activities and decisions with equal fervor and without favor. Any honest person ought to be able to admit that ain't happening these days, hasn't been that way for awhile now. So I can live with the fact that FNS is critical of the left since almost everyone else is critical of the right. Seems wrong to me to try to remove the one side that doesn't agree with your positions, do you really want that? Bagdad Bob, here we come. Pravda. That seems to be the direction many on the left want to take. The gov't is good and can do no wrong and we will not allow opposing voices to be heard.

    MSNBC is very clear on where they stand. Just watch the commercials they air about standing up and being counted. Their own motto is "lean forward." Pretty clear to me.

    You think "lean forward" is the same thing as admitting you are opinionated as a news outlet? Doesn't look all that clear to me.

    Well of course MSNBC is biased. No one said they weren't.

    But this thread is about Signs you watch too much Fox News.
