    Please tell me that you're not serious.

    Even some of the more avid Fox-watchers admit this fact. Fox isn't balanced, Fox is the balance to the more liberal outlets. And that's fine, really. Just admit it, and don't complain about the other biased media entities that don't share your bias.
    Ummm, I believe this applies to anyone that watches Fox exclusively.
    No, he wants to hear the answers that he agrees with. He's too busy cutting people off when they don't reply how he wants to actually let anyone make their case.

    The hypocricy is mind boggling. Bush has been called everything from an idiot to downright stupid. I hate to break it to you but the mainstream media has been doing the same thing, albeit to the Republicans, for the last 50 years.

    Give examples on how CNN is more slanted to the left than Fox News is to the right.

    You have to question this study's accuracy when a memo from a top Fox News exec to the lowers was discovered detailing how to spin that day's news to the right. Check my 3rd video I posted.

    After doing a simple Google search I have found many articles disputing the methods the UCLA political scientist and the U of Mizzo guy used to come up with the study. Here's one. I'm sure you'll have an excuse for these disputes so I won't waste my time digging more up for you. If you're truly interested then try Google.

    "It sounds convincing, but the study was completely flawed.


    As the media watchdog group Media Matters pointed out, a researcher cannot analyze one type of source (special interest groups) and make broad conclusions about overall bias. Reporters consider a quote from Vice President Dick Cheney as a "source." Yet this type of source would not be counted in the UCLA study. So a newspaper article that included a quote from the vice president alongside a quote from a Greenpeace campaigner would be considered to have a liberal bias, because the quote would not count as a "source."

    Your "study" shows otherwise.

    I can't. I haven't watched CNN since Desert Storm and the unveiling of Wolf Blitzer. However, let me ask: Who owns CNN? (It's rhetorical. I know the answer. It's Hanoi Jane's husband.).
