Uh,, I read all the words but I think the misplaced prepositions caused the point to get lost.

If you are stating that noone tells the whole truth without some personal agenda, that is true. What I would like to see is a balance . People have to deliver the news with a human slant to it, but the slant should not outweigh or outspeak the facts. At least, that would be my preference when watching the news which is why, when given a choice, I dont watch Fox news.
In the immortal words of Stephen Colbert "reality has a well-known liberal bias" laugh


Colbert is hilarious. Reality and truth are subjects that could take forever to debate...lol

Well the issue here is on both sides. For example a reporter that is only supposed to report still controls what will and will not be reported along with the editor. So leaving out key elements of the story and reporting without emotion does not equate to fair! Look at the negative reporting done on Obama compared to Bush in reporting and you will find the numbers are quite slanted and vise versa. Even if the reporter was completely objective in his reporting the volume of reports make a bias! So the point is in some peoples opinion objective reporting is a lie, it just does not exsist period! So if you agree with that premise in which i do it's about knowing the position of the news outlet that really matters. Ofcourse their is profit motive too that needs to be taken into account! But knowing a man has a conservative or liberal slant before i listen helps you know what the slant is! The fact liberals deny their slant and claim the right is bias is bogus. Fox news does not hide the fact they are a conservative news outlet, only that they are willing to debate any topic and give the other side a voice unlike the liberal shows! Gets old watching a monotone inteveiwer fawn over a so called scholar on his rhetoric and they declare it reporting without ever challenging the validity of anything he says! I do not equate emotions to fairness it makes no sense at all! Although my studies of phsycology prove that monotone speak creates reception and is a valadation of truth in peoples minds. So the monotone speak only adds to my feeling of bias by the mainstream media not detract from it!

Fox News' Fuzzy Math Claims 120% Of Americans Have An Opinion On 'Climategate'

On a December 4th episode of Fox & Friends, a graphic was displayed with the question heading: "Did scientists falsify research to support their own theories on global warming?" The results shown below indicated that 59% of people believed this was "somewhat likely," while 35% thought it was "very likely" and 26% considered it "not very likely."

their math is correct -- which it can't be -- this leaves a whopping and statistically impossible total of 120%, 94% of which believe that scientists were at least "somewhat likely" to have falsified research to support their own theories. Could this be the first documented evidence of "climath" change?

Simon Maloy of Media Matters outlines the progression of this latest "on-screen error" by Fox News.
