im not sure what you base your thoughts on? fox is sooo unbiased that they over take at least 2, and maybe 3 news channels leaning the other way.
I guess where you stand depends on where you sit. In my mind, Fox is so biased that it is almost laughable. When they discuss conservative platform X, they have one commentator who is for it and another commentator who is really for it.
Sorry if you were being sarcastic and I didn't get it.

I think the problem is that you can't see that CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN are as biased as Fox is. The media has been so left for so long that it is normal now and when there is a right leaning station like Fox they look like Hitler.
And I love those who don't watch Fox that much when they talk about how there are never liberals on. I think liberals are represented more on Fox than conservatives on CNN.

i never said those other stations arent bised. its just that most of the time fox is worried about how they report a story, instead of just reporting it. you can spin it any way you like, but news is still news

You did say Fox was more biased. Nothing you said had anything to do with them worrying about how they report it until your most recent post.
And I think unfortunately there are too many people in the world who agree that news is just news when this whole discussion has been based around the idea that news isn't just news. Spin does mean a lot. Not a whole lot of people think enough for themselves to tell the difference between spin and facts.

I think Fox is more biased, but maybe it [rightly] feels like it has to be since all the other outlets are more numerous. And while I do not particularly care for Fox, it's probably better to have Fox around to act as a counterweight.

i am all about the facts. just tell me the truth, and i can make it work, any way i want it to. fox was one of the biggest bashers of dan rather, for not reporting the truth. but people like bill oreilley can make up stuff about obama's schooling, and nothing gets said.

You seem like one the few who can think for themselves. What did O'Reilly say about Obama's schooling? (Not a challenge, just a question)

something along the lines on how his private school was strictly Muslim. and in reality it was a Christian school, with a few Muslims attending
