Yes, as I've said, the other media does have a bias and a liberal slant. However, that doesn't stop them from reporting the facts. They keep their bias for opinion shows. Fox doesn't. And therein lies the difference.
This is waffle. No substance.

it was revealed that the Democratic Party received a total donation of $1,020,816, given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks (NBC, CBS, ABC), while the Republican Party received only $142,863 via 193 donations.[22] Both of these figures represent donations made in 2008.
You really should start looking at facts instead of quoting dodgy sites.

They have changed from a 'news' show to an 'opinionated' show. Fox news can go and **** itself. Its a reactionary tool against the left wing controlled media in the us and elsewhere. News corp generally has been pretty showed up recently hasn't it, or is that without substance too?

It is a well known fact that the media is generally quite leftist not only in america, but elsewhere. That is a fact obtainable from non dodgy sites, observable infact. Perhaps you just never switch off fox news.

i think perhaps that someone isnt stealing enough oxygen, as they display some symptoms quite common with oxygen deprivation.

Yes, fox news would leave any civilized person breathless.

A former Cop and paid Fox news commentator claimed on O'Reilly's show that Pink Pistol packing Lesbians were terrorising America.

I'm still waiting for O'reilly to live up to his promise as WMD's have yet to surface in Iraq. He is after all, the most watched 'news program' in Mrica..that actually scares the living shit out of me. Give me the mullahs anyday.

Indeed. Fox is a dodgy news channel and has been found to have a problem with facts many times. We're not talking a little bias here. Glenn Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Cannity...I mean, come on. Have you listened to them?. Anyone who can't see what Fox are is deluding themselves.

Looks like you should practice deep breathing and read the thread before you jump in. It's your anti-Fox buddies that are claiming that US media is not tilting to the left, spuoting banalities and quoting dodgy websites along the way.

Your entries border on intellectual dishonesty. You have been proven to take things out of context to suit your agenda. Your opinion is biased and therefore irrelevant to a merit based discourse.

i.e, the majority of the news watching american public in other words.

Rumour has it that Murdoch is even afraid to try to tackle some of these guys. I'm glad that these nutbags and their behaviour would never be accepted on european television. Well, I have never seen anything like it.

Well, fox news was obviously not good enough for glenn beck..

Thats irrelevant. I merely replied to your post which quite clearly states 'no substance'. That is all. I had no intentions of commenting on anything else.

Personally? I think Fox is far too left wing.

And your posts are deluded and bordering on paranoid. "We have good manners and respect for pluralism"...did you see Bill in action in the video posted up there?
