Judging From what some people say, you'd think that FOX was the only News channel with a bias.Quote:

You don’t see that degree of bias anywhere except on the station that advertises itself as “fair and balanced.” The sheer bald-faced hypocrisy of Fox is too much to endure. Chris and Keith are certainly unabashedly liberal, but at least those two assholes have a tolerant vision of society. I can’t help but feeling that one who is both a devoted follower of Fox “news” and regular visitor to HA is someone who would like[] to screw the girls up the ass, literally and figuratively.

I agree. I have conservative religious friends in the community...and that strikes me as odd. Supporting the people would deny you a number of rights. Kinda mixed up.Quote:

Dag! I was hoping for a new freak out, this has been around for a while. Also, there is no left or right. It is an outdated and inaccurate way of looking at issues. It only serves "the man's" drive to keep the populous divided against each other. FOX news is in fact a fascist propoganda outlet. Nothing more, nothing less.
There's the PBS News Hour which is neither liberal nor conservative. As often as possible they will simultaneously interview two or more experts (not professional pundits) on various opposing sides of an issue. The conversation is pointed, but the moderator keeps it focused and civil.
I know conservatives (who rarely watch it) have the impression the New Hour is liberal simply because it's partially (or at least was) government funded. But then it seems of lot conservatives who rank the media think that any analysis that isn't 100% conservative is liberal. Hell, they think Obama's a socialist!!!
Up here it's CBC that I watch. It is a public network...so they shouldn't be biased. I always wondered how that was possible considering it's the federal government is funding it. But in general their stories are insightful and thought-provoking.
I use to watch that wit my parents as a kid and well it did seem to be a bit on the boring side lol. But I loved that theme song.Quote:

Like I said, conservatives have the impression the News Hour is liberal. But then again, they think Fox is fair and balanced, Obama's a socialist, muslim terrorist and any show that allows a democratic guest to speak without interruption is bleeding heart liberal.
