As usual they sway one side of viewers.

Fox stations, and the network, are tabloid television. Not to be taken seriously. But, I'll agree with you, that type of reporting is attractive to those in the population who are the most ignorant, less educated. Nothing in that organization resembles 'fair and balanced.'

The headlines of the newspaper in my town were shouting about the big protests of the Arizona-Supreme Court hearings, claiming that border residents are extremely upset by the Arizona laws.

This town is over 90% hispanic, a very large number of immigrants, between El Paso and it's sister city Juarez, there are over 2 million people. It turned out to be about 100 people protesting, I'm sure many were just bystanders. And a newspaper poll showed strong support for Arizona.

Well, I certainly wouldn't call MSNBC or CNN fair and balanced either.

Why would any citizen or legal immigrant be upset over the Arizona law? Wouldn't they have a valid ID?

Just another attempt by the supporters of ill-legals (prime example the Obama administration who brought the lawsuit) to influence the Supreme Court. They fear if they lose, it is an indication of how far out of the mainstream they truly are and they will lose power.

I wouldn't either, I would, however, call all 3 of the of the major networks what
they really are. The right arm of the Obama propaganda machine.

Oh crap, I didn't mean it. I take it all back, please don't turn me into "Attack
Watch". I was just jok----

MSNBC opinion/commentary programs do offer mostly biased - against the GOP - diatrides. I agree with that observation. The news segments are typical NBC reports. I think those are fair, and balanced. CNN is the network of record. Very balanced viewpoints on all issues.
