I watch FOX and CNN and a little bit of MSNBC. I will admit that FOX covers a lot of important stories with greater depth and detail than the other two networks. But to say that FOX covers all sides and without bias is tremendously false. FOX is just as politically motivated as MSNBC.

The big difference is that FOX seems to coddle the Republican cause and is thus intertwined with party politics while MSNBC has less loyalty to Democrats than it has to its hardcore liberal/progressive philosophy.

FOX defends Republicans even if it means giving mixed messages and hypocrisy, while MSNBC wll eat its own children if they stray from the progressive platform.

Leftists would prefer a monopoly, so their messiah isn't held accountable for anything.

They also hope if they claim long enough that CNN and others are not biased, it will come true. We already saw what happened when CNN had an "unbiased" "moderator" during the presidential debates...

Fox News is ALL OVER the Christie Bridge story.....and he's a republican!

They are also doing in depth journalism on the chemical spill in WV......which is a chemical used in the coal mining industry.

Had the spill been of some chemical used in making solar panels, the msm would not even give it a mention.

ALL other news channels are biased to the point of being laughingstocks.
While I am a big fan of Fox News, I've been watching the CNN morning programs for over a week now just to see how the two compare.

I've noticed the CNN shows have more interview time with fewer commercial breaks. Because advertisers don't think they'll get their money's worth there?

Also noted that the females are closer to "reality" than the Fox babes.

Haven't yet noticed a huge bias on CNN - just a lot of little things here and there pro-Obama and Democrats. Fox? Clearly anti-Obama policies.

Your kool-aid is spiked! Or it could go on the burner of "What does it Matter Any Way." It means a lot to those who loved those people, to know the truth.
Benghazi mom: 'Why won't Hillary talk?' [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller
The grieving mother held out hope that a special congressional investigation could compel those that know the truth to testify.

“We would get answers!” she said. “From what I can understand, Hillary is the one person that can give me answers as to what happened with my son. She has not been required to answer anything, she just sits there and says she doesn’t want to talk about it. And she’s not being made to say it.”


We could talk about Team 6 if you'd like......

CNN is fair when it comes with Obama. Take Obamacare for instance, it is varying shades of grey. Some are HUGELY benefitting from it while others are suffering and lost their plans and now ave to pay 2 to 3 times the amount just to get a new plan if the old one can't be kept (which has happened.) CNN has picked up on both like many issues and tries to remove politics from it when presenting the story as well as during pannel discussions, feature different view points.

The only issue I have with CNN is Blackfish which was a bait and switch to those involved and like most documentaries featured fancy editing if the stories didn't fit the narrative. You can say the same about most Michael Moore films like Fahrenheit 9/11, Roger & Me and Bowling for Columbine. To be honest, the most clear documentaries have been when you combine a few wrestling documentaries like The Rise & Fall of ECW and Forever Hardcore because no documentary tells the full story and full of viewpoints and flubbed facts.

That is why Fox Business smacked Judge Napolitano on the nose with a rolled up newspaper for diss'n Republicans.

MSNBC yeah. But none of those other stations could by any stretch of the imagination be called liberal.

Is that the one with Steve Doocy? The moron who was complaining about people "getting all potted up on weed", but saying "I'm going to get really drunk" on a Christmas show?
