Really? Hmmm...there are some that might disagree with you. Without going down the political road too far, it might be said that the former administration might have engaged in some of the above description. Not calling Fox facists, but, I do believe that they do lean a little to the right, no?

BTW, not all conservatives are republican, and not all republicans are conservative. If you watch Glen Beck, he's very good at demonstrating that.

Fox leans to the right, I admit. The others lean to the left. Which is clearly why people on either side watch one or the other.

Does a bear p.... in the woods? Of course they are conservative, we need our voice to be heard too ya' know! Point is, FNN actually tries to see and report fairly on both sides of the fence, where as the other "so called news stations" construe the truth and plainly falsify information to affect their liberal agenda.
Yes, they lean right, and if you really understand conservatism it's about shrinking the size of government, not growing it.

Sure Glen Beck, great. What of it?

You said a network that gives Bill O'reilly and Sean Hannity their own shows leans to the right. And I pointed out that other networks have shows that lean to the left. So in other words, pick the network you want to watch. I get tired of people saying Fox is so far right and CNN and MSNBC is solid news and vice versa. Every network has their target audience. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Simple as that.

Let me be clear on my intent. I get tired of hearing "fair and balanced". That's subjective. If by "balance" you mean balancing out neworks that lean left, sure. If by balanced you mean the reporting is balanced, it ain't.
Nowhere did I say that either CNN or MSNBC are Gospel fact, I don't believe that to be true. And for whatever it's worth, I don't watch any of them. News with an agenda, whatever that agenda is, isn't news, it's opinion. And thats what OP/ED's and cartoons are for.
