It is somewhat like a wing of the Republican Party in the same way that most of the other networks are somewhat like a wing of the Democratic Party (e.g. MSNBC, etc.).

Even they would be more attractive than you, Vitalis.

Anybody who had the audacity to watch MSNBC on election night knows of at least one network which is anything except fair & balanced; since O'Reilly & Hannity always have liberals on their respective TV shows, they certainly know what the term fair & balanced really means.

MSNBC's election night coverage was widely mocked and ridiculed by other MSM sources.

It's clear that most people see Fox News as an arm of the Republican Party. The next question: Does Fox News even care? If they really want to be seen as fair and balanced, perhaps they should do something to change their image.

And just as clear most people see MSNBC as an arm of the Democratic Party. Do they even care, either. Also, if they really want to be seen as fair and balanced, they also should do something to change their image.

Tell you what...why don't you shoot off an email to FOX, letting them know the results of this very scientific City Data Forum poll. Then suggest that, based on these results, they should really 'do something to change their image'.

I'm sure they take a look-see at your notes, right after their "We're Number One in Election Night AGAIN" party.

Clear? 85 out of a million bothered to answer such a ridiculous poll?
