Just saw a hilarious interview w/ Richard Maddow (MSNBC) and Bernie Sanders and he actually says "I think the democrats have to pay to get a station on the air like Fox News".........
He was actually on MSNBC so I don't think he knew what he was saying.
MSNBC is very far left and no where near non-biased like Fox News. At least Fox gives you BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY!
Another left-leaning station would be an economic disaster (anyone remember Air America? Anyone?) so I doubt anyone will be paying to start a new one.
No one is going to deny that MSNBC isn't liberal leaning, but to say it's as biased as Fox is a bold statement. I don't know, maybe there are two Fox News channels, but I rarely see both sides being presented. Don't get me wrong, conservatives have been shut out on MSNBC, as well as other media (which as a whole leans liberal), but I've never seen it done to the same extent as Fox does it to liberals.
As a whole, the media is garbage and needs to do as much as possible to eliminate the bias across the board though. There shouldn't be conservative or liberal news, just news. Opinions should always be available to be heard, but we shouldn't be seeing a liberal democrat and a moderate democrat and acting as if this is enough contrast to come even close to showing a nationwide division in ideas.
Anyone who defends FOX as "fair" loses all credibility immediately. FOX is, and has been since its inception, GOP TV.
How would you know, you never watch FOX.
At the risk of losing credibility, FOX is the fairest of the lot.
All media is biased, however, in the last 8 years the media has become the propaganda machine for the Obama admin. The media and academia propaganda frachises are legion compared to pretty much just FOX alone fighting a David vs Goliath battle.
FOX is sooo unfair it has the largest viewer base. Are you saying all these people are somehow stunted and just a few, like yourself, are able to see FOX as nothing more than a GOP trumpeteer with no informational value?
Nor do they interview Democrats from across the political spectrum,
Is that because they won't show up or Fox hasn't invited them. I'm going to guess it's because they won't show up. I don't see how Fox has any benefit not bringing anyone they can on, the more left the better as fr as rating go.

Clearly Fox coverage leans right especially where the commentary shows are concerned, anybody with a speck of intelligence can see that. My question is do you have enough intelligence to see the left leaning bias of most of the other networks?
I think what happens here in particular for the ultra left is they are so accustomed to left leaning bias they are like a deer caught in the headlights when the news is presented with right slant.

Firstly it's a little difficult to compare because MSNBC is mostly liberal commentary shows, I would suggest compared the the FOX commentary shows they are about equally as biased as far that goes. MSNBC doesn't really have dedicated news like Fox or CNN so you can't really make any comparison for that.
Exactly! Bernie Sanders is do dumb, he really is giving Senior Citizens a bad name.
