If only one side is represented on FOX, you could make that claim. But it is not the case.
If half of the commentators were liberals and the other half republicans, I'd agree, but are they? If a war is openly supported then they cannot be not biased.

Perhaps you could provide some examples?

Narcissistic comes to mind, reading your posts.

You want a neutral "news" media but will not practice that ideology. The old saying "do as I say, not as I do", is still hypocritical?
Lol, reading comprehension.

I am not media, hence I personally don't need to be neutral. Of course I have an opinion, but a news channel that reaches millions of people should not use intimidation and scare tactics to manipulate people. "You are not patriotic if you don't support the war". "We are the good guys and they are the evil guys"

That is something the Nazis have done. It is called Propaganda. And the US media is full of it.
I want coverage that gives me the facts like how many soldiers died during the war, I dont want anybody to tell me whether I must support a war or be against it.

So, again when did I say PEOPLE like me have to be neutral? I said it many times I want news coverage to be neutral. I dont want a rodeo clows to tell me what to think.

Because people watch Glenn Beck, O'reilly, a lefty commentator and then come here and repeat what they have just heard. Thats why. Without critical thinking.

Remember, when O'reilly and Beck started to ask why liberals are so afraid of Republicans? All of a sudden most republicans on CD started threads "What makes liberals being so scared of Republicans/ or why are they afraid of Sarah Palin?"
It was amusing.

Once again, a delusional lefty.

I watch/read more media from the left than I do Fox news. The leftist position is much more prevalent, so I read/hear more of it. Can you say the same?

You calling conservatives infantile is really something. The left always think they are such smarty pants! It's like talking with a 14 year old who knows soooooooooooo much more than their parents. Funny.
Great post. Well said!!

If you confirm each other more, you'll think you are right. Also, that guy really has a great sample size.
But who cares, Murdoch already admitted his media tries to manipulate people, so why bother watching this stuff? Not that other american news channels are any better. Sometimes you need to look somewhere else for news coverage than the american enternainment news industry.

And what I think of MSNBC you can read in this thread.

I have seen O'reilly have guests on his show with opposing views giving them time to speak until he gets mad at their view and starts yelling at them.
He once had Ron Paul on the show and started to cut him off. That is disrespectful, and of course Ron Paul was right with everything he was saying but that did not hand in hand with the ideology of Fox.
They can't let Ron Paul, a true conservative, blaim the US foreign policy for the growing of Al Quaida so of course O'reilly had to shut him down.

Also what is with this woman that dumbs down on purpose for her audience: "Let me google Czar".

I didn't say that he did "re-think" his statement. I said that based on the product we see on the screen, it seems that he might have. He seems to be a guy that can keep his own feelings from tainting his product.

When you go on O'Reilly's show, you need to have your game tight for the debate. Chris Mathews is the king of talking over his guests. Why aren't you railing over him?

Cetainly has much as any other network. I don't thnik anyone now days with any sense believes that any network doesn't have bias. Especailly in these days of selling news . Its always been that way. Fox news just exposes more people to varying opinion not seen when there were just the three networks.Al you have to do is read history to see what a sole agenda driven media can do to distort news.Having exposure to a variety of opinons is always better to make informed decisions really.Just as one person doews not have the same belief system that another does because of life experiences.

I doubt they can contemplate on their own thoughts enough to answer your question.
