If we go back to the Pew study I cited 68% of conservatives could identify a news organization that leaned conservative, only 26% of liberal could identify one that leaned liberal.

Who is it again that is an obedient sheep? It's comical especially when you consider and overwhelming number of news organizations have a liberal bias.

Wow, guess some won't be happy until all news sources are liberal. Guess CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, CNN Headline News, and most newspapers aren't enough for them. I enjoy FOX News from morning until 5pm central time Monday-Friday (not constantly, gradually off and on while there's nothing worth watch on which is frequently). I gave up watching their prime time programs as they are just a televised version of talk radio but without the callers. Those prime time shows are opinion pieces. After FOX And Friends morning show it becomes more news oriented. Can't stand Shepard Smith. He reminds me of a shady used car salesman who thinks way too highly of himself and looks down upon his customers he tries to swindle. The Sunday morning political talk show is very fair and it's host straddles the center like Tim Russert did. Instead of constantly attacking FOX News, try watching the news part of the network and ignore the prime time opinion shows. I do it all the time.

Odanny you can pretty much apply all of the things listed in your article to any editorial/opinion/commentary show on any network. It's unfortunate but you must be one of the 74% of liberals that can't identify a liberal "news organization". How is that possible? I've heard some really weird statistics before but that one is certainly in the strange but true category.

On a side note Beck, Hannity and Oreilly are what they call commentators, they aren't reporting the news but giving an editorial opinion. In your little world they would comparable to Olberman...... oh wait he doesn't have a job. Sorry bad comparison.

Just a side note but has anyone ever noticed how little original thought goes into most post from the "wingers" regardless of which side they are on?

14 Techniques FOX Uses to Brainwash Its Gullible Audience

If anyone is being brainwashed by the news then the problem is probably more the possessor of said brain than with the news or its presentation.

Just think of it as 'Personal Responsibility'. I know it's a foreign concept to the libs, maybe try with open eyes.

??? You feeling okay ???

My favorite is "well if this is true then....." And other vague statements made by their opinion shows that are baseless, then followed as the gospel by viewers.

Cable news isn't news, its red meat to people who want their own uninformed opinions supported. Kind of like a parent saying their child is beautiful when everyone knows that's the ugliest baby they've ever seen. No one wants to hear the truth anymore.

The bigger the lie, the more likely people will believe it

Stupid article, I stopped reading at the start, when they started talking democracy. We are not a Democracy, we are a Republic.

Democratically elected republic. Slight difference. The elected officials we elect are supposed to follow the will of the voter. Instead we've been duped by cable newa and Washington politicians that the only choice you have is to vote for those who don't listen to you.

it is amazing how liberals work so hard to discredit Fox news.

It is also amazing that every attack on fox, could be used against NBC, MSNBC, CBS ABC New York Times etc, except that these outlets tend to be biased to the left.

you never hear them calling for these outlets to be balanced. Just that fox is the devil and needs to fall into the lake of fire.

The truth is, liberals dont want truth. they just want thier own spin on whatever the truth is.

Nobody can credit or discredit anything better than the audience itself.
