I reposted it, but watered it down some as to keep the mods happy.

What may be 'more biased' to you is 'less biased' to others. There's no way to know who's 'more biased than another'. 'Fair and Balanced' is nothing more than a slogan, like CNN's 'The Most Watched News'. CNN is full of shit with theirs too, are you gonna bash them? It's business, my dear. | ||||

FOX News is far outnumbered by the networks who lean left. I think they deserve to lean a little further to help even the playing field. Of course, fairness is never a topic that many left of center wish to discuss, unless of course they are the ones being "unfairly treated" (i.e. talk radio).

| I don't believe I've ever seen anyone claim that the other networks aren't biased, that'd be a new one. I think pretty much anyone rational admits that pretty much everything in life is biased to some extent, and news is certainly no different. What has been claimed, however, at least by me, is that the "left leaning" that happens on other networks is not on the same playing field, or even in the same league as what happens on Fox. Fox isn't even news, it's infotainment masquerading as news, like the other networks, but with far more distortions and a blatantly partisan agenda that stems from the highest levels of the network and infiltrates every single show they have on, whether business analysis or their prime time "news" lineup with Brit Hume.. Once again, people will point the finger at the one hour of blatantly liberally biased television on cable - Keith Olbermann - but he's preceeded by a former Republican Congressman and Tucker Carlson, both admitted conservatives.. On other networks, like CNN, you have people like Glenn Beck, a right wing guy who spews hate speech.. suggests Democrats caused John Roberts seizure, and so forth.. and Lou Dobbs, who has a full hour basically dedicated to how the brown man is invading white America and how bad it is for us.. The other shows just aren't nearly as partisan to the left as anything Fox has, I'd invite someone to prove they are without going to google and posting some analysis that can be disputed by any other number of google searches. | ||||
