Fox's 'fair and balanced' journalistic position is very accurate; Bill O'Reilly just demolished Rand Paul for his tax reform plan, and even chided Charles Krauthammer for his suggestion that the home mortgage deduction be eliminated.

Nobody at MSNBC has ripped Hillary for simultaneously pushing income inequality which her party's policies enable while maintaining total silence regarding her $20,000,000 bank account and massive donations from countries which hate us and would love to destroy us just as Obama has destroyed our economy and lowered the quality of life for members of his own race excluding yours truly.

Hypocrisy is the lifeblood of liberals, as is lying about Obamacare benefits which are nonexistent while the worst is yet to come.

You honestly believe that a loyal Republican operative is going to present anything objectively? Fox News is very far to the right. If you prefer to believe that it is "centrist" because you personally agree with their slant and like to think of yourself as moderate, fine. But no way in hell Fox News can ever be called center or moderate related to anything.



Perhaps you've heard of George Stephanopolis?

Your own little bully baby language.

Well said.

The person you responded to suggested Walter Cronkite exemplified real news.

To the contrary. Walter Cronkite -- "the most trusted man in America" -- is a perfect example of the way news in the U.S. used to be completely dominated by the Left.

During the Vietnam War, he declared the Tet Offensive a disaster for the Americans and said America should just get out of Vietnam.

He didn't acknowledge that the Tet Offensive -- far from a disaster for the Americans -- was a great victory that decimated the Viet Cong.

Nor did he explain (as he should have) that the failure of America to go into Laos and Cambodia to shut down the Ho Chi Minh trail (which ended within thirty miles of Saigon) was the reason why the Viet Cong continued to get weapons from North Vietnam (supplied by the Soviet Union and China) and had the ability to storm the U.S. embassy in Saigon.

Fast forward to Bush v. Kerry in 2004.

Cronkite came out of cold storage to try to throw the election to Kerry by claiming that a threatening tape from Osama Bin Laden that had just been released was a put-up job by the Bush Administration.

Then, Cronkite's acolyte and protege Dan Rather got busted and lost his CBS anchor seat for using forged documents to try to discredit Bush's military record.

The lying liberal media....

They got away with the lies from the 1950s to the late 1990s.

Then Fox News appeared, along with an exponential increase in the influence of conservative talk radio -- and internet bloggers who exposed Rather's lies within hours of his telling them.

Now it's a different world, and it's no wonder that the Left has been in a frothing rage over the fact that its lies are being exposed.

You were just shown a lot of juvenile name-calling by liberals.

I guess that went over your head.

All news network have some sort of agenda. Most network are guilty of sensationalism and overreaction.

Fox News is the only one I've seen that actually flat out lie to the viewers, not because of sensationalism or exaggeration, but because without lies they'd have nothing to report that fit their agenda. The difference between the regular media and Fox is that the former exaggerates, and later lies.

So to answer your question, all major news network besides Fox.

I can handle bias. It's lies that I have a problem with. While no news source is 100% factual, I still want my news to be more than 50% facts.

Oh, I know this will make your head spin, but most liberals don't watch MSNBC.

Yep, Fox News will be closing down soon. So you Lefties can go and fixate on something else now.

Didn't think you would be. "Panties in a bunch" is offensive but Rush Limpballs is merely juvenile. As is she-male and accusing people of donning white sheets and committing incest.

As I said, confirmation bias. Not to mention hypocrisy run rampant.

As a note I've never used either of the bolded terms you tried to accuse me of.
