Many people ( potential voters ) are too young to understand what fair journalism was and should still be.

If you want to go through life believing that "what you want to hear" is ( because of your political bent ) reality, then you are fooling yourself.

NBC and it's affiliates have found out how easy it is to report only what fits it's agenda.

Agenda?

NBC has lost all credibility. When Obama screws America -- NBC praises him, and nods it's head in approval. Rainbows, and unicorns running through a field - free from hunting and plants aplenty used for fuel.


As reality sets in, the blind are still blind. NBC will not budge. They choose to paint a pretty picture, concerning progressivism.

Idiocy reigns in the head office. As fantasy seperates from reality and responsibility, NBC holds steadfast in it's commitment to Obama ( even reporting falsehoods to push a stupid philosophy ).


If reality is that the ship is going down, NBC will go down with the ship. And it's doing a good job of taking millions of Americans with them.

What are those Americans called? Oh Yeah ...... Sheep.
You're right, msnbc should be like fox; "fair and balanced",,,ha,ha,ha

NBC - Pretty lousy programming also. They cancelled "My Name is Earl" the only decent show they had on.

Basically the liberals have dragged out evryone to unseat OReily but in the end all ahve disapppear. They then drug out Obermann and maddow ;who no one had ever heard of before;because it is the kiss of deathy. NBC;CBS and ABC news are dying a slow death since the 60 minutes suits that shopwed what they are willing to do to push their agenda.Tyhe Westmoreland case turned out to be huge and gave conservatives their voice.

I'm not knocking it, because I don't know that much about it, but the Project for Excellence in Journalism may itself be biased. It is controled by the Pew Research group, and this piece of data came from its Wiki page:

"While in the years immediately following its foundation the group was staunchly conservative in its views, later positions have included moves into environmental advocacy as well as support for "non-incarceration" methods of dealing with criminals"

I always think people should "consider the source" and do their own research before considering something as factual. The hard thing is to find truely quantifiable non-biased sources for this information.

While I am a conservative, I can't stand Fox and do not consider what they put out is news. Let's face it, Fox is owned by the same guy who owns the daily star and various other tabloids, and I feel Fox falls into that category. A few years ago, some research group did a study and found that Fox broadcasted more content that was sexual in nature that any other free cable channel including MTV! Rupert Murdoch knows how to make money, and the sad, hypocritical thing is that its usually these social conservatives, the value voters, that buy these tabloid rags and spend hours of their day eating up news stories about Anna Nicole Smith. Look how much coverage they are giving it right now and compare that to CNN. Let's face it Murdoch plays to his econimic base, and if liberals spent more money on magazines that detail Britanny Spears' love life, Fox would be more leftward leaning than even MSNBC.

I wouldn't rely too much on Wiki. It is know to have errors.

I agree. If people do their own research they will discover that Fox News is more fair than many will admit to.

Strange that you "can't stand" Fox News. I think it is the best thing to come along, regarding news channels, especially since I had to suffer with CNN during the '80s and up to the mid-'90s. "Some stuides?" By whom? The left-wing "mediamatters?" Or the very left-wing New York Times? What difference does it make who owns Fox News? Ted Turner (the liberal) owns CNN.

Anyway, I would like to see similar studies done which breaks down each news channels' (Fox, CNN, MSNBC) reporting. Credible studies, that is, like the one I posted.

It is not a "poll!" Where did you get that idea?

It was study done by analyzing those news channels. And you say I'm crazy! You don't even know the difference between a poll and a study!

Wasn't it ruled in a court case that because FOX was considered entertainment they had the right to lie and distort?
