    Ask BOB on the 5 how the 4-1 slant feels..
    Just having a left leaning person means nothing if its only for a sound bite or a 1 minute reply.

    Commentary is one thing..
    I was and still am taking about the NEWS and the ticker that runs under the talking head..That is always NON PAUL and certainly non Romney ...most of the time.
    I bet Paul's name wasn't mentioned 6 times on Fox last night..he probably has more delegates than NEWT ..why does NEWT get any time ...??

    11 million bucks will buy it. Working for FOX sure helps too.

    excellent point. It is clear that Fox completely manipulates its content - both news AND commentary - to suit their overriding corporate political agenda... and they have for quite some time. the movie "Outfoxed" came out a LONG time ago and it was quite illuminating about that practice.

    They do just what the leftist media does - which is 90% of the media.

    So what's the problem? I listen to NPR every day, and take everything "with a grain of salt." Shoot, I don't even watch FoxNews, but I know that you need to be discerning...

    I have no doubt that the commentary shows on MSNBC are slanted to the left as much as Faux shows are slanted to the right. I do NOT, however, think that hard news is manipulated on other channels like it is on Faux.

    Palin said she would have voted for Newt in SC to keep the contest going.

    So she didn't contradict herself. You just didn't understand what she said.

    So the fact Fox News has more libs on to give theri side means nothing despite the fact they more opposing viewpoints then MSNBC and CNN combined

    I am not surprised you and others ignore this fact

    Yet libs are hapy with such "reporting" of facts by MSNBC like this

    But I am sure libs will see nothing wrong with these examples of "journalism" from MSNBC since most libs will agree with the opinions expressed by the staff at DNCTV (aka MSNBC)

    Yet they are unable to find similair comments made by anyone at Fox News

    Chris Matthews has long since left journalism behind for punditry. He's to journalism what Paul Krugman is to economics. But Andrea Mitchell still pretends to be a real journalist. I guess as you get older, it gets harder to fake it.

    if you can't answer my question, why not just refrain from quoting it and then dumping out your typical verbal diarrhea without even attempting to reply?

    Correct. they are mostly an opinion and commentary source.

    And that is just like Fox. There are two actual news shows on Fox and the rest are all opinion makers and influencers. I am at a loss to understand how anyone can claim to be "fair and balanced" when they at one time or another have employed nearly all of the republican presidential candidates, made a media star out of Palin, championed the Tea Party, etc.

    Both utilize their political biases to filter the information they present. Both have token "other sides" on to provide at least a semblance of balance. (Anecdotally it appears as tho MSNBC has more republicans than fox has democrats).


    Choose your filter and enjoy the spin.

    Wow, did you get up on the wrong side of the slab or what?

    I know libs lije you do not enjoy seeing examples of "objective" journalism at DNCTV while you rant about the so called bias in the news at Fox News

    It is clear Fox News is objective when they report the news, and when they offer opionions the allow both sides to particpate

    Something libs really do not like since their debate skills (like yours) is limited to attack, insults, and ducking the facts

    Here is more from the DNCTV "newsroom"

    You must not watch Fox News or you would know they have many Dems on everyday offering their side

    And as far as your insane comment about DNCTV have on more conservatives - please list them as I did the Dems appearing on Fox News

    I simply asked you how many liberals hosted opinion and commentary shows on Faux News. Clearly, you know the answer but would rather run around blowing smoke up everyone's keesters rather than just answer it. It seems that is your standard reaction when someone tries to take you off message so that you have to actually write and respond with your own thoughts and not merely regurgitate right wing radio talking points. :yawn:

    I like what Mark Levine calls MSNBC: MSLSD. :xd:

    Fox is the most balanced coverage you will find - maybe the only balanced coverage. MnBoy is just angry with Fox because they tell it like it is and like it is isn't all that great for Romney.

    The Cold Case Posse has irrefutably and undeniably proven that the birth certificate and draft card are phonies and that every Obama document is problematic. These are undeniable facts.
    Obama' own grandmother has stated she was in the room in Kenya when he was born.
    Obama undeniably told his literary agent that he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii.
    Since Obama Sr. was a bigamist who had a wife in Kenya when he impregnated the 17 year-old mother of Obama, that makes the marriage illegitimate and that makes Obama the illegitimate son. There is a name for him, and also a name for what it is called when a 25 year-old black man impregnates a minor.
    Moochelle recently said she is a "single mother". That means there is no marriage certificate.
    Obama has committed a half dozen impeachable offenses including treasonous acts and starting illegal wars. That's what it's called when you bomb another Country.

    Moved this thread to the appropriate forum and it was started over a year ago which technically should have been deleted. The OP has no links to his claims.

    Go ahead and debate here.

    every day i see some idjit calling out fox news. they vent their spleen on fox's obvious bias in the most hypocritical ways, ignoring their own chosen news outlets' tendencies toward the same sins. every once in a while i'll see someone from the other side of the aisle moaning about what passes for news on such wastes of air space as msnbc, but it is usually the voices from the left that scream the loudest. those same voices shrilly denounce talk radio and any other media source that dares to allow conservatism its voice. i've often wondered why even the white house seems so concerned with americans voicing their opinions and all i can think of is that i just scares them. the very idea that millions of people have access to an ideology that so opposes the authoritarian disciplines of the american left simply makes them soil themselves in terror. that these outlets are so incredibly popular merely means their own propaganda hasn't been sufficient to cow the masses and they are just embarrassed by their failure. so they blow up each error as a conspiracy, each act of partisanship as subversion and continue to harp upon a bias that is as natural as can be.

    american liberalism/progressivism simply refuses to admit that this is essentially a conservative nation and the overwhelming popularity of conservative media is proof of that. for decades we have been inundated with a veritable blitzkrieg of anti-conservative propaganda at every turn. popular entertainment, government sponsored "information", academia and more have attempted to spin even the term "conservative" in the worst possible light. they have tried to link it to the most ignorant of fundamentalist indoctrination, to neo-nazi and racist organizations, to senile bed-wetters and any other group that the masses might find objectionable and they have been only partially successful. they have convinced the unthinking mob, but the individualists see through their rhetoric to the truth of the matter. conservatism attracts even the most objectionable because conservatism allows all those groups to exist. where the american left would abolish anything that does not fall in line with its authoritarian approach, the average american conservative realizes that everyone has a basic right to their own way of life as long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others. though the polls do not always reflect it, the popularity of conservative news media shows us that the majority of americans still believe in those basic rights and are unwilling to throw them away no matter how many freebies the left may toss their way.
