You should listen to their newscasts.

I report, you decide.

The hosts are mostly all liberal, I only know of one or two who hide their bias, the 95% of the rest are libs. Their go-to sources for opinion is the LA times, New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe and liberal universities. The most commonly utter phrase on NPR, with their liberal hosts, liberal guests and liberal callers is "Oh, I agree".
NPR newscasts are very balanced and neutral. They make a big effort to present them that way, regardless of their individual leanings.

Why is it so hard for the right to acknowledge that Fox presents an extremely biased version of the "news" (often created by their "opinion" shows)? Yes, MSNBC is biased, and unabashedly so. Fox and its viewers for some reason feel the need to lie about the network's bias even when it does something like make an anti-Obama attack ad.

I agree. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has no influence. They did remove her as the Dem chair didn't they?

Is it Fox's fault that most things Obama has done, make him look bad?

Sounds like just another attempt to prevent a news station from reporting the truth about a Democrat.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

FAUX runs a 4 minute long attack ad on Obama and their audience thinks it is no big deal, that somehow this network remains "Fair and Balanced".

And there you have it. Of course FOX is a GOP network that has never had any pretense of neutrality since it was started by Rupert Murdoch, but it does not matter to those who watch it, because they are preaching to the choir.

Those who watch FOX don't hear any criticism of the GOP because most of their sources of information is also highly likely FOX style propaganda. Being misinformed and uninformed is probably desirable to your average FOX watchers, as long as their prejudices and political views are reinforced, which is guaranteed.

And that is why a large segment of America lives in an information vacuum.

You constantly deride anything from the right. (Many of us believe you are paid by the DNC).

You make a lot of claims, and back up none.

Here is your challenge.

Look at the video and come back and tell us what is not fact.

Remember they are ACTUAL VIDEOS of what Obama has said.
We will be waiting.

No. The OP is claiming this a commercial to be used to defeat Obama, which it is not. It was part of the regular morning show.

Commercials are run over and over between regular scheduled shows.

I wager you won't ever see it again on FOX or any other station for that matter, unless MSNBC wants to do a hit piece story about it..

Boy, the truth really hurts these people. One can only hope there will be a change in the white house next year.

That certainly does not sound "fair" or "balanced" to me, but at least he is not trying to fool anyone into believing that he is something he is not.
It is apparent you don't know the difference between a "News" program and an entertainment/political opinion program.

Do you call the Today Show or Good Morning America or Meet The Press or Chris Mathews or Maddow's shows "News" programs?

Hannity is NOT a "News" program.

To claim to NOT know that, shows that even though claim to watch it, (how else could you form an opinion about his "bias"?) apparently you do NOt watch. Otherwise you would know it is not a "News" program.

Fox and Friends is an entertainment show which covers a lot of things other then politics.
