Kind of hard for Fox News to be a "Republican mouthpiece" when there are this many non-Republicans on that station as hosts or frequent guests:
- Juan Williams
- Geraldo Rivera
- Susan Estrich
- Geraldine Ferraro
- Harold Ford Jr.
- Alan Colmes
- Lis Wiehl
- Bob Beckel
- Ellen Ratner
- Ellis Henican
- Mara Liasson
- Mort Kondracke
you did a better job even than I did with names. And how many are forgetting Alan Colmes, one of the true liberal libs used to have a program with none other than Sean..
According to liberals, anything not far left is "biased."
In the liberal's mind, when Fox runs news which mentions both a positive and negative story about Obama, it is "biased" for mentioning anything negative.
Because Fox News isn't ultra-left, to liberals it is "biased."
I don't watch American TV because I live in Europe, but what caught my attention are your statements about being biased.
IMO any intelligent person would have to admit that everything is biased. Any news channel is somehow biased because people are biased, whether they realize it or not.
I assume that you label "liberal" (whatever that means in your crazy american context) media "biased" but your favourite news channel is not.
From the clips I watched on youtube (because I had to find out what Fox news is all about) I can definitely say that it is biased. And I am not a leftie, or liberal or whatever you call people that disagree with you.
Also, I am pretty sure that if Ill watch some of the liberal media, I will see biased news as well.

Of course everything has some bias. Too bad you don't watch American TV because that means you can't watch O'Reilly's show... among the most informative and least biased news-type show out there.

Liberal in the American context (which isn't crazy) generally means a big government, high tax rate, a lot of spending on social programs, belief that criminals can be "reformed," and cutting spending on defense.

As the graph I posted shows, Fox News is less biased than CNN and MSNBC. If you want real bias, watch videos of MSNBC.
My moral deficiencies?? I told you Fox makes people angry and mean. Maybe someone should block fox from your T.V. I have porn blocked out on my television as well so my children can not watch that.
Fox makes people "angry and mean?" It doesn't with people who are mature in the first place.

I posted a video clip of O'Reilly interviewing Ron Paul here in the section and I wasn't happy with the guy. He was very disrespectful to Ron Paul who happened to be really well informed. In Germany no news commentator is rude towards his guests and would never scream at them or interrupt them in such a mean way.
I got the impression that O'Reilly did not like what Ron Paul (a conservative!!!) said about foreign policies because it was not what his audience wants to hear.
Beck is a joke, and should be doing a show like Americans Next Topmodel. ( i watched some of his clips on youtube as well, and he yelled at one of his callers and just seemed like a lunatic) Sorry, Fox Fan.
The Bush administration spent a lot on a war that wasn't necessary. Did the Fox channel condemn that as well?
I also think that the way some commentators DO use fear and paranoia to manipulate people. I can only speak about Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity as I don't know the others.
That is my impression of these people and the channel.
If I lived in the US I would not vote Dem. or Rep. because both parties are puppets of big corporations. I am saying this because someone will say that I am a socialist because I critizised Fox news.
Thats bs, I mean this whole name calling, that comes from the right and the left.
That is profound. I never advocated suppressing speech only the fact that I don't have to listen to it or pay for it. In another great move of censorship, I will put you on ignore.
Wow, that's a first. It only took two posts - neither of which were inflammatory - for someone to put me on their ignore list. I guess the truth hurts...
