So Al Jazeera is pregnant, but F0X is only a little bit pregnant? Facts are never slanted, only they are hard to find these days.

Easily one of the worst analogies I've heard in a long time.

Not a surprise.

Please explain how this is hideously slanted:

And yet you don't wonder at all why Obama knew Candy had the Benghazi transcript in front of her. We are all human, we all have our biases. Fox news reporting is probably the least biased. Their opinion shows are probably the most biased. But they will admit where their biases come from.

BTW Shep Smith is probably as big a left wing flamer as any of you Faux news haters.

I agree and thus my point, they are all biased. Tell me what happened, fact. I'll decide what to think about it. Which is why I laugh when I hear many among us say their channel is less biased than this other channel and somehow that is a good thing. I've yet to hear a compelling explanation of the "degrees" of bias. However, biased versus non-biased can be explained rather easily, similar to pregnant versus not pregnant. Lastly, I would bet those who have commented negatively about Al Jazeera, have not watched an hours worth of programming on that channel in their life. I could be wrong on that, but maybe not.

People actually watch TV news still?

Something happened between the gulf war in the 90s where it served as a propaganda outlet and today, where if you do look over their stories today it looks like any other news agency reporting the news. That documentary I posted above is one of the best short ones I've ever seen of the type. Don't think fox news or anyone else would have the balls to get on those planes to report the story/documentary.

On subject, morning of CNN had the chairwoman of the NTSB on a live phone interview. And I don't know who fed her the info, asked (and I'm paraphrasing) that even though new rest regulations for "commercial airline" pilots have been mandated and the cargo airlines were excepted, will the NTSB look at fatigue as a possible cause? The chairwoman responded by stating that the NTSB is "strongly opposed to the cargo cutout" and human factors are a part of every investigation. I was surprised by the question and the response, in that CNN was aware of he rest rule exemption and the current NTSB chair came out strongly against it.

Off topic, as some one who regularly has FoxNews on in the back ground for 9 hours a day, I've determined that FOx is indeed fair and balanced, they give equal time to both T and A. There's a lot of low cut shirtsand leggy anchors in stools.

If you admit your biases, you can try to compensate for them. Al Jezera, ABCNNBCBSNYTIMESWAPO do not even acknowledge that bias is conceivable. Fox does, that is one big difference right there.
