I'm actually fine with it-- I just wish Fox would come out and be more honest about what they are doing... as if anyone truly believes they are fair and balanced.

No, you are not thinking clearly on this one. They are a network of TV shows. If the TV shows are fair and balanced then they are telling the truth. As a business entity they can make TV commercials, and donate to conservatives all that they want.

Being intellectually honest, I see that it's their TV SHOWS that they are claiming is fair and balanced.

They have every right to prefer one side of the aisle over another just as the other networks clearly do.

Yep it would also be nice if PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc. would all announce that they are now and were in 2008 in the tank for Barry.

Nobody really believes they are "fair and balanced", not even the rubes who watch that network.

They should run this motto instead: We Deceive, You Believe

For anyone interested in media bias, this is a great book:

Amazon.com: Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind (9781250002761): Tim Groseclose PhD: Books

It's easy to read, but it's not a rant. It's based on real, data-driven studies on political leanings in the news media.

Golly, gee, now I see someone else who has read "Left Turn" besides me. It is a very good book and interesting as well as humorous oftentimes.

Fox has been more fair than the other alphabet soup outlets.

Get over it.

Amazing how many leftist and Democrats are on that "extreme right-wing propaganda" station.

I don't know how anyone can believe anything your "news media" reports, because unlike Canada where it is illegal, your media can report opinion as news.
