First of all it's not so much a question of being accurate or inaccurate, as it is a question of being sane or insane. I refer you to the example of what MSNBC host Martin Bashir said about Sarah Palin. Secondly, I have supplied 4 or 5 actual examples of gaffes at MSNBC. And you can't supply even one re Fox News? Just a vague, blanket accusation.

B/c apologizing for an off-color invective requires INTEGRITY.

Let's just pull up the latest bit of outrageous commentary from FOX: Ann Coulter: Dems Against Rape Unless a Clinton or a Kennedy Does It | Mediaite

Wonder how long before an apology comes out?

Those who continue to say Fox News lies have yet to provide examples. I can think of a couple of times they were wrong but they apologized for making errors.

And those who continue to say Fox News lies claim to not watch Fox News. Who's the liar, really! Not Fox News.

It's completely pointless to try to converse with them.

As for the little blurb above this post...well........................that's hardly a lie. It's the blatant truth! What's to apologize for? Even on the recent Lewinsky posts, libs blamed Monica.

And they say it's Rs who are waging a war on women! Oh, the irony. Oh, the hypocrisy!

RCP makes a good point. I don't recall any other media outlet having to make so many apologies and retractions.
Who says they "have" to?

Nobody watches MSNBC. If they apologized, or didn't apologize, who would know?

So when Sean Hannity has a round-table discussion w/ people whose lives are being "destroyed" by Obamacare, and then another agency steps in after the fact and let's them know that there's a solution to their problem that anyone who made a half-hearted attempt would have found... you would call that what? Honesty? Integrity?

Are you kidding? That talking suit Sean Hannity has insulted way more than his fair share of politicians and elected officials. His very presence on a 'news' network is offensive.

The only seven words that need to be said to shut down the entire pro-FOX defense: Jesse Lee Peterson. Laura Ingraham. Ann Coulter.

Fox and MSNBC are both garbage.

The little innuendos and half-truths or lies by ommission tend to go right over the heads of loyalist viewers....but they sure notice them when they are coming from the OTHER side of the political fence.

Perception bias 101.
