Yep. I just saw Fox do a story on some ying-yang who drained a pool onto the street and caused it to freeze over (apparently ice is slippery - who knew?) which caused multiple accidents.

It's one hard-hitting expose after another.

That is not the reason...Fox caters to the ignorant masses in the US telling them what they want to hear, regardless if it is true or not.

All media and politicians tell people what they want to hear and most people in this country are ignorant, that's no big surprise.

Fox News is ALL OVER the Christie Bridge story.....and he's a republican!

They are also doing in depth journalism on the chemical spill in WV......which is a chemical used in the coal mining
Had the spill been of some chemical used in making solar panels, the msm would not even give it a mention.

ALL other news channels are biased to the point of being laughingstocks.
It's always been that way. Fox has always presented all sides of every story.

But liberals, who swear they don't watch Fox, miss the real stories. All they get is the Pablum being shoveled into their faces by other silly liberals who don't have a clue.

They all do fillers. Seems odd some folks have never noticed that before.

The reason that Fox News reigns supreme.

FOX News caters to the 200+ and older demographic that longs for the glory days of the 1850's.

They're not a news source, they're an echo chamber.

Your argument is that because FOX chose to cover 2 of the biggest stories in the country, they are not biased ?

Does anyone else find it odd that there are people who will fight tooth and nail to proclaim the source of their news as the best? It seems to me that the only reason this would happen is because that news source is the focal point of the individual's concepts, ideas, and understanding of how the world works. Without that news source, the individual would be forced to think for himself and would be entirely lost. Thus, the news source in question becomes the replacement for that individual's critical thought processing center. An attack on the news source is as good as an attack on the individual at that point.

They certainly do.

I saw them just the other day, displaying the President of the United States telling everyone, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period."

And earlier they showed the same guy saying that the violence in Benghazi was caused by some guy making an internet video.

They even showed some former ambassador saying the same thing, AFTER Obama knew it wasn't so.

As you said, they (or someone) is an expert at telling ignorant people what they want to hear, regardless if it is true or not.

Seems as someone is trying to clean Fox's bloody nose after the Judge dropped them with a right cross.
