I agree. Fox news is biased; as in NBC, CBS, and ABC. It all depends on whether you want a right-wing or left-wing slant to the information your getting.

Everyone can talk about how the news is biased. That doesn't even BEGIN to hold a candle to biased SPORTS coverage. I'm talking about newspapers and national outlets such as CNN. Read my post in the Tim Tebow wins Heisman thread in sports for a glaring example.
Issue at hand. Is FOX biased? I don't really know, but I'll tell you one thing--they know EXACTLY how to get ratings: Pretty women in low-cut tops, and dresses that expose a lot of leg==RATINGS  !

I try to get a spattering of different news programs from different stations for this very reason. I don't watch the news too much though, too damn depressing.

I have some suggestions where to get the real news: whatdoesitmean.com and PhoenixSourceDistributors.com or subscription to CONTACT magazine, Where I suspect that all the big guys get their news : CONTACT ph 800-800-5565 , 3 dollars a copy ,I think, I pay. I usually pay for it a year or more ahead. No BS in these places.

I consider myself moderate to liberal on most things. And I agree that all the major news outlets distort to some extent. But the FOX Noise Channel is the worst by far.

everything anyone reports is biased
it always has a bit of a spin on it no matter who is saying it the idea is to hear as many versions as possible and sort out and do away with everyone else's spin and it is still biased to what you believe it is |

Yes, all media is biased to a certain extent. And there is a certain limit of bias that should be expected. However, Faux News takes their right-wing bias to an extreme level, to a point where they almost make up the news as they go along...ala Bill O'Reilly's supposed "War on Christmas." The other stations report generally from their POV, but there is no insidious intent in making things up as they go along. Faux News creates issues that any person with any sense knows doesn't exist, or over-embellishes it to make it seem more important than it really is, like whether Barack Obama wears a flag lapel pin or not. All news is biased, but Faux News takes that bias to another level which no other news station does. |

I woke up feeling ill today and this has really perked me up. "Fox news is just too biased, but CNN's bias is jussst right." Sounds like Goldie Locks and the Three News Networks. |

Well, there is bias in everything, not just the news, because every conversation comes from a person's point of view determined by their life experiences. So, your opinion right there is biased, in the literal sense of the word, as is mine. However, JSH is not not literally giving us talking points that we have to address during our conversations. Fox does that. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC do not. They don't give their anchors talking point memos (that we're aware of) that they have to address during their discussions. |
