The left thought this news channel would give them such balance........http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.co...rrent-tv/?_r=0

Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday.

Such a good American taxpayer that Mr. Gore!

Are you saying these things don't matter? The corruption from our government framing others to look like Americans have a gun addiction, is of no issue to you? Flooding America with drugs and drug cartel then saying Americans need to address their drug problems is of no concern?



He told the crowd, “We understand that the root cause of violence that’s been happening here in Mexico for which so many Mexicans have suffered is the demand for illegal drugs in the United States.” He later added, “We also recognize that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States.”

Any "scandal" relating to those issues have been asked and answered. The results were, no scandal there. Problems, sure, but they have and are being addressed.

FOX = GOPtv.

Always has been, always will be, especially since corporate interests have taken control of the Republican Party.

Well, MSNBC is pretty clearly Dem supporting, just that they don't lie as much. They actually try to support assertions with some fact.

I agree and it's certainly obvious if you watch/listen to Fox at all. My elderly father keeps it in 24/7. I have to wonder, though, if all the Fox employees didn't vote for Obama because I don't know WHAT they would talk about all day if he wasn't President.

Why is anyone worried about which Party Fox supports, when the entire so-called "Mainstream" Media are in the pocket of Democrats, and George Soros funds many of these Leftist outlets?

Virtually all of the other networks are Democrat controlled.

The huge difference is they are critical of the Democratic Party. That they spend more time attacking Republicans is simply a result of placing blame where blame belongs. But they don't use misinformation and lies to demonize the other side, they don't have to. The GOP provides ample opportunity with its daily freak show of Teabaggers, Birfers, and other assorted fruits and nuts constantly pandering to their low information, FOX News watching voting base.

The only time FOX goes after one of its own is when they either try and act sane, or try and act bipartisan. The far bigger picture to FOX is to keep the country divided and fighting amongst ourselves while corporate interests loot the U.S. Treasury.

My point is don't judge ALL the coverage by a very little sampling.

I am watching it right now and there is a panel with Democrat and Republican Congressmen giving their opinions.

I see MORE diversity of opinion on FOX then I ever do on the other channels.

And YES, I agree that FOX leans to the right which counters ALL the other channels that leans to the left.
