    Couldn't have said it better myself.
    Don't be ridiculous.
    Look at the bias and the treatment that Obama and the Libs receive.
    Also look at Obama's compaign trip overseas compared to the treatment the other side received.
    I've already stated this above, I don't want to repeat myself anymore.
    I don't agree with the Libs that they do have on the Fox News channel, no.
    I said that Fox News is more fair and balanced than the other networks.
    A lot of the other networks don't even acknowledge that they are bias when they are.
    They try to act like they have objective news when they do not.

    If you want fair and balanced, you have to wait a few years, buy two books from two highly regarded but ideologically opposed authors, read them both, and form your own opinion.

    EVERYTHING else is pure spin. Except maybe The Economist magazine and pure news segments in CSM.

    I agree. I really can't see a lot of difference between Fox News and the other other news channels. Fox and MSNBC seem to be more errant to me.

    I like CNN the best, but don't consider any TV to be a very good news source.

    The Economist is a good news source that produces actual unbiased journalism. The only other source of unbiased coverage is the news segments on NPR. The problem with NPR is it does not do enough news and does too much op-ed.

    Because they usually make little to no sense.

    They ARE the hypocracy. Limbaugh rules national talk radio and he claims that media is biased to the left! It's called propaganda.

    He rules because he speaks the truth.

    He lies all the time and you know it. He rules because he's entertaining, you've said that many times. But you evade the point. All this talk about media bias simply ignores huge ultra-conservative-biased media voices like FOX, Limbaugh, Coulter, and Beck.
