Did anybody watch Greta Van Susteren's show tonight? A total insult to anybody's intelligence. They spent an hour just talking about Sarah Palin and how great she is, and they interviewed some of her closest friends and associates and she asked them to describe her, as if anybody would say the real truth about her on national TV. Not to say that CNN and MSNBC do not stand up shamelessly for Obama but the media in this country is a laughing joke!

I agree.

Fox News: Red
MSNBC: Blue

I, of course, favor MSNBC lol. But, it's true. For any of these stations (even ones outside the ones I named) to claim the terms of "fair and balanced" is a complete joke.

Off-topic: I have even lost respect in the last two weeks for Glenn Beck (who I still used to really like, even in his overtly-conservativeness and despite my obvious democratic leanings).

This is news to you? FoxNews is the Propagandaministerium of today's right wing.

Fox News covers both parties just as fair as those others stations, if not more fair.

"Let me congratulate Fox News... fair and balanced... you called it for Hillary first."
- Terry McAuliffe (Democrat), just after one of the primaries earlier this year.

The reason FOX looks bias is because they are fair and balanced and always tell the truth. The truth always favors the republicans..!
Greta did a special so everyone could meet Sarah, the rest of the canidates are already known

Unbiased news reporting is not a part of the FOX news vocabulary.

The main reason Fox is so biased is not so much their actual "news" shows. Those are few and far between. Fox has mastered the art of blurring the lines between news and "onfo-tainment." People think they are watching hard news when they are actually watching very biased opinions and slanted entertainment - something the Project for Excellence in Journalism does not evaluate. They only evaluate the 30 minutes a day or so Fox produces that could be considered actual news.

The rest is extremely biased truthiness masquerading as news.
