Fox News Fair and Balanced? HA HA

What story on Bush is that? I don't believe you should rely solely on any news station. On fox news it depends on what show and who you watch on what point of view you get and they don't hide the programs that are opinion based. I haven't watched anything lately except news clips on youtube and the websites lately since I got rid of my dish. However I did have a conversation with a couple I know who watch only NBC and they said that they had no idea about whats been going on with Accorn and had not even heard about the tea party protests and I found this very interesting. Anyways Fox News does have all the ratings so whatever your opinion may be on them, they are doing what gets them the viewers. Far more viewers that is then the other news stations.

um, it could be perhaps because it's a silly insignifigant story.

I would rather watch Fox news because they are reporting things that are happening now, not 8 years ago like all the liberal stations. News flash, Bush is not in office anymore! I' sick of ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC all going down on Obama like he's the greatest thing ever, the guy is a joke and if you have the state run media singing your praises all the time and one little station saying the truth about this Abomination then it just goes to show that the truth will shine brighter no matter what is being said. Uniformed, if you watch those shows for your media enlightenment then you're less informed than the people who still read the newspaper.

No, you can't rely on only one news source anymore...and that's really sad. As a wide eyed innocent teenager I wanted to be a reporter. I thought it was a noble profession, especially in light of the Watergate investigation, but the industry has become too corrupt. Most news agencies are soundboards for whatever political party/special interest/personal benefit the owner chooses.

even the best sources have a bit of spin in them. best to use at least two, preferably from different erm sides. and to ignore the tabloids completely or at most use their stories as a starting point and check them before taking what they say as gospel.

I don't think there's any question that Fox News is the only major news network that covers the conservative point of view. ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN are all biased toward the Obama administration and the liberal point of view not only in their commentary, but their news coverage as well. The only way to get the whole story is to get your news from several different sources including the internet, not just TV news. I do think that overall, FOX News is the least biased in their coverage of the news, you just have to remember to separate the actual news coverage from commentary. Their commentary is heavily biased toward conservatism, not necessarily Republican, but definitely conservative. This is ok because the rest of the networks are heavily liberal and favor the Democrats in their commentary. The problem with the rest of the networks is they let their bias control their news coverage which is supposed to be politically neutral. In this respect, FOX has the most fair and balanced NEWS and the ratings are showing more and more people are starting to realize that.

To conservatives Fox News IS the best and I suppose a Fox viewer wouldn't find it all that difficult to spin it so that Fox fits their unique definition of "Fair and Balanced". To them it's "fair" to say or do whatever it takes to make all the liberals and Democrats looks as bad as possible and to overlook the faults of the conservatives and Republicans. Therefore it's John Edwards - BAD and Mark Sanford - maybe a little misguided and confused...lol! "Balanced" means to report an amount of dirt on all the Democrats based on their position and other factors. White males get considerably less heat than other demographic groups. Liberal women and minorities and women are automatically sexist and racist while their conservative counterparts are victims of sexism and/or racism just because they're conservatives. I know Fox News is the ratings leader according to some sources but can you even imagine what it would be like if it were the ONLY source of news? Annie

Well let's see Zephyr, the story JUST came out on CNN. Aren't you going to give Fox News a couple hours to verify the story? Most people gave CNN and MSNBC a week or more before complaining about their lack of coverage on ACORNS latest series of scandals. Either way the claim has been disputed by a former Bush and Palin aide. It sounds like this Matt Latimer guy is just trying to sell a book and he knew a claim like this would get him free publicity.

You don't know the Medias I used to watch like 3 or international news channels and 2 or 3 local news channels, then only we get an average idea about the things happening. I assure 100% we may not get from any news channels. Some channels are biased as well. Eg. FoxNews is more biased against Muslims than BBC and CNN. Many news titles and contents are twisted so that their interest prevail. I don't have FoxNews, because it is not free. I'm Just watching Free TV channels using Dish, LNBF and Free Satellite TV Receiver. I used to watch the following international new channels. CNN International (US) BBC World Middle East (UK) Press TV (Iran) euronews. Sometimes:- NDTV (India) Dawn News (Pakistan) Also General channels:- NHK World (Japan) Arirang (Korea) My Favorite channel on Islam & Peace is, Peace TV (India) I suggest you to watch it, it is a full time edutainment channel on Islam, and comparative religion with public debates between world famous scholars of Islam, Christianity, Hinduism etc., public lectures, question and answers, etc.

i do watch it. but i am not able to feel if they are leaning toward one party. as i am not really familiar with the political parties of the US as i am not from US. but i do watch often before. i don't know which news station is covering the news honestly.
