If it was the other way around you would think different.

His 11.5% unemployment is enough to know he is not a jobs man.

Scott was handed a miserable situation by Crist and has turned it around.

Unemployment is now below 6% thanks to his policies.

I actually think CNN is fairly balanced. Faux News and MSNBC are on opposite ends of the spectrum. I personally prefer NPR myself

I actually stopped watching news many years ago so the troll who keeps posting his bs has no clue but just keeps trolling along. CNN is loaded with extremely looney liberals host and guest. At least Fox gives both sides and allows someone to speak whereas CNN does not allow the opposite side to rebutt anything.

I haven't seem much of CNN since Al-Jazeera America came on and started broadcasting real and relevant news instead of blathering talking heads. (Give it a try- they're quite good, and the only time a bias shows up is in their Egypt coverage, which is understandable given that the Egyptian government is still holding some of their broadcasters after months with no charges.)

My favorite Real News print source remains The Economist because they're the best truly global analytic news source out there. Yes, I honestly do like reading about the movement of South African supermarket chains into Zamiba and the latest follies in Argentinian monetary policy.

Fox is actually pretty good at quickly breaking news, and often on the scene sooner than anyone else. I just click away quickly when everyone seems to have caught their breath enough for the talking heads to come on and spin what they just were showing live.

Fox gives both sides and allows someone to speak?....

I thought it was common knowledge that they are famous for doing the exact opposite of that.

Fox news is an echo chamber....

If you don't know what that means....

Than you probably are a loyal Fox news viewer exclusively.

If you watch the "opinion shows" during primetime you will get that. Yet I don't get the same slant with the NEWS SHOWS.

And it's obvious from your comments that you are NOT a Fox viewer, know nothing about this network, and are simply regurgitating comments you've picked up from your liberal friends about the network....

No...I am not a regular viewer of Fox.

I have however, watched plenty of Fox News during the last 4 presidential political cycles and elections for comparison to CNN and there is a major difference in the reporting of the same information...

I prefer CNN...definitely the most neutral major network with the least amount of spin.

As I said before, I dont waste my time watching news. Since I am in Florida now I enjoy all this beautiful state has to offer and not on here much or inside freezing to death like I was in Ohio.

For some reason liberals assume most people who have great knowledge of politics watch Fox. Even though it is common knowledge that Fox is the top rated, 8 of the 10 most watch shows on TV. But you knew that right?

The first sentence of the second paragraph makes no sense what so ever. When you combine it with the second sentence of the second paragraph it's even worse.
