I've noticed that.

FOX News is an oxymoron, it isn't news at all it is opinionated commentary on the news from far right wing sources intended to brainwash those who can't think for themselves. However FNC and MSNBC are equally biased.

Fox News Has a First Amendment Right to Lie.
A Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast.

Actually that 1st Amendment right applies to all sources of news. Do you have a problem with the 1st Amendment?

Of course they are.

Media Busters exposes the liberal bias of the media all the time. That IS there function.

NewsBusters | Exposing Liberal Media Bias

Media Research Center
Freakin' Newsbusters - they "bust" nothing.
Why do you ignore everything presented? I have shown that a "socialist corporate media" is oxymoronic, and fascist Fox won't tell you that of course, but you should be able to figure it out for yourself. Go ahead and bask in the warm glow of fascist media while their Wall Street corporate owners fleece you of your hard-earned money.

I have also shown that most corporate media never challenges Fox, and if they were truly liberal as some MSNBC programming is, they would have much more to say. Go ahead and keep on ignoring that little fact.

Again Fox seems to be your "news" source. By consulting a dictionary, you would know what "control" is, and with Fox as your "news" source, you don't know that dems never had enough votes for the super majority needed to overcome repug filibusters. Another thing you obviously don't know is the Democratic Party has some conservatives who always side with repugs, so "liberals" - what you are really concerned about - never have "control". The Progressive Democratic Caucus is a minority faction within the party.

And again, you should state, in the right-wing mind, which "liberal policies" have "destroyed America". Please do that.
Perhaps you are referring to this piece of RW excrement.
The Democratic Congress Did All That?

And look, here come the Fox parrots on C-D.

Whoops, sorry! I thought you were referring to those apologies that NBC/MSNBC had to offer for going "edit-happy" on tapes!

Reps to you! That is so true, I see that quite often from liberals. They just don't seem to understand that the those two prime-time programs are commentary programs, not news. I hear it all the time. "But, but, Orielly said (fill in the blank)" or "Hannity said (fill in the blank)" Well, yeah, duh! That's what they do...lol. Many liberals that I encounter constantly respond to their comments/opinions as if they're news. Oreilly and Hannity may talk about things that are newsworthy but they're giving their commentary on those issues. There's a big difference between what they do and straight news reporting.

Each news outlet is bias in their own right. Not a one better then the next, maybe a twiggen, MSNBC to me is the worse of the lot.

When a news outlet has to resolve to scum, in what they say, and demeaning hurtful words, they are the lowest of lows, and they have had quite a lot of lows.

If you think not a one of these news organizations don't lie then your the problem here.

MSNBC is not the analogue of Fox News. Fox actually does have news along with political commentary. It can be hard to tell the difference at times, but there clearly is "news" on Fox news. MSNBC rarely has any news. I'm not sure just what MSNBC is trying to be, but if it is a news program, they are failing the test. It is political commentary sans news. It is not where you go to find out the latest development in anything that is going on. You need to compare FOX to say CNN. CNN has a tilt to some degree or another, but by comparison Fox is very, very biased.
