Fox news the best when it comes to political facts? why or why not?

Each to their own but personally I don't like Fox News at all! I'm far from a fan of O'Reilly but Glenn Beck and especially Sean Hannity are far worse. I understand there are those who want the kind of coverage and commentary Fox provides so I guess they serve their purpose but they're not for me. I watch MSNBC most of the time. Yes, they have more liberal commentators than Fox but they also have their share of conservatives to balance it out. Annie

I watch Glenn Beck, that's about it. I also watch Lou Dobbs, but that's a different station.

Fox news is as much in a prty tank as the others,lets not kid ourselves on this. All 3 of the major news networks and the other networks push a left/right oposition ideology when it comes to politics, it's what they do. I would say fox is probably a bit more likely to report things the other two don't, but then I have seen the other two report things that fox doesn't. I watch all 3 and use the information I get as a spring board to do my own investigating and alternative sources. I do catch Oreilly, Beck and some of the day time straight news stuff they do, I CAN'T STAND HANNITY, the man is an asss, like Colmes (though I'm not a democrat), Love the Judge (napolitano). On the other networks, I catch Rachael maddow's show sometimes, I have seen her go after the Obama administration on a number of constitutional issues that are important to me, OLBERMAN IS AN ASSS, funny, but an ASSS, some of the day time straight news I'll catch too, I miss Lester Holt, he had a lot of integrity as a reporter, As far as CNN goes, probably anderson cooper, Lou Dobbs, the rest is stuff I can get on MSNBC. Face it, they are all tools of the Washington D.C. establishment.

I don't watch it anymore. I don't have it since I had to cut out some channels to lower my satelite bill. I do try to watch Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and I also watch Meet The Press and George Stepanopolis (sp?) all on Sunday.

Fox News does seem to be a bit more fair and balanced. I don't really understand why people frequently accuse Fox of being a network of right-wing extremists. I have seen Bill O'Reilly play the devil's advocate and defend Obama on occasions. I have seen Neil Cavuto criticize the Bush administration. When there's a sensitive issue, Fox has someone representing each side present. Likewise, I often stare in disbelief at how MSNBC can be so blatantly biased on certain issues. CNN is a bit better, but still noticeably biased. I also do not like it when Keith Olbermann calls me a monster because I do not agree with him.
