Apparantly not thought of as you describe by the press corp.

Of course, you would know better what they think than they do....

The fringe Left, smacked in the head once again.

Fox News to move to front-row White House briefing room seat - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
But you like to call the WH the fringe left. Make up your mind.

So the RW line on Helen Thomas is that she was a "nasty old bat"? She wasn't exactly good looking but do you have any idea the valuable role she played on behalf of the free press, that is, you?

Might want to look it up.

How soon we forget that the administration tried to exclude Fox from the press pool.

Didn't work either, did it?

The commentators on Fox are the ones I accuse of bias. Murdock has said he twists facts, and out right lies.

Hell, they had a lawsuit to fight for the right to lie on air, to the public.

I still don't understand why people watch a news network that professes publicly that it doesn't tell the truth. But, thats on them I guess.

You really need to pick. Either you think Fox is biased or it's not. You can't have it both ways.

Well, you can ... but then everything you say from here on out should be taken with a grain of salt.

Their commentators seem to be biased, at least to me and a great deal of rational thinking people.

I'm sure they have many fine employees who aren't biased, nor want to be. However, many of their "on air personalities" seem to have a conservative bias.

While this is a clearly biased link I'm about to post, it contains a great deal of links to actual news broadcasts, and transcripts.

I went through about 1/2 of the links and nothing seems to be more current than 2006. Most were from 2001-2004 at best.

You seem to be very big on "show me proof" & "link please" so I thought the severely outdated links were worth mentioning.

Just trying to keep everything fair & balanced.
