Wow, amazing opinion. I never encountered this concept before.
Fox is many things. Balanced opinion is not one of them ...
THEY do believe that Fox News is "fair and balanced" - as they (Fox) keeps stating this in their advertisements/statements. If they state it often enough - those folks actually believe it.

compared to CNN and MSNBC--they are far closer to that moniker..
Democrat says Robert Mueller's end goal is to get Trump's tax return. ...
I don't know who that 'Democrat' is, but I doubt it.
Apparently you have so little interest in finding out who the democrat is its amazing you bother to express it.

Mueller doesn't need Trump's Tax returns, he probably has more information about the in's and outs of Trump's finances already than Trump himself knows. This is not a joke.
The only reason he might need to look at them is for corroboration on some details he already has. But if, on top of everything else he has done, Trump had also falsified his tax statements the Mueller team would just forward that information to the appropriate State's Attorneys and the IRS because it is in their wheelhouse.
You make it sound like a joke. Think it through. Trump doesn't prepare his own tax return. The IRS hasn't raised any red flags in the form of criminal charges and they will know more about the tax returns than Mueller will ever learn.
Not only that but Trump would be through his second term before the court cases were ever decided.
The Dems are on a fools errand and they are bring the ship of fools with them. The smart ones will be looking for a lifeboat and get off that ship.
Why, yes, there are lots of examples of abuse of power, and most of them have occurred since January of 2017.
right, forget all the abuses of power from the previous administration

Even Obama released his tax returns, showing more guts than Trump ever even dreamed of.
If Trump is such a great guy and honest as the day is long, what on earth lies hidden in his returns? Was he really colluding with the Russians after all and his tax returns show this? Has he been steadily siphoning money off from the charities he pretends to run? And what's with the love affair between Trump and the murderous Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia? Trump's tax returns could shed light on all these questions.
The American people would like to know: A Washington Post/ABC poll released on Jan. 16 revealed 74% of Americans think Trump should release his tax returns, including 49% of his own supporters. A separate poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said 60% of Americans believed he should release his returns. A petition on the White House website calling for Trump to release his tax returns has received over 260,000 signatures so far.
It's a sad day for our Country when we have a president at the helm who doesn't even have the integrity of Tricky Dick. Why on earth are you defending a coward and a tax cheat?
just because a few people running for president chose to give up their fourth amendment rights, doesnt mean trump has to give them up because you demand it.

the IRS has been auditing trump every year for decades now, and if they havent found anything untoward by now, chances are they never will. and if they havent found anything, what makes you think someone else will find something?
as for muller being able to get trumps tax returns, he would have to get a warrant from the courts to get trumps returns, and to do that he would have to show probable cause that trumps returns could be hiding criminal activity, and that would be hard to do without the returns, and with the IRS syaing no such activity exists.
Show the equal to the leftist Shepard Smith on Fox.
CNN, MSNBC where is their rightwing one hour programing ? Time to get a clue !!!
You don't get it.
I am not saying CNN good, Fox bad. I am saying that balance is necessary in every show, all of the time. Seems like a novel concept, but it's not. We have been subjected to this morass of garbage information only since the 1990's. Every broadcaster who plays the bias game is wrong, and Fox pioneered the genre.
It doesn't work to have 'leftist' opinion shows and also 'rightist' opinion shows and then to call that balanced programming somehow. That is 'reality TV' think, or 'professional wrestling' think. It's like Maury Povich or Jerry Springer doing news ... total BS!!! It produces a totally distorted worldview.
" Feed my head! " ... "give me outrage, give me angst, give me righteousness!!! Tell me what to believe and I promise I'll watch only your show and condemn your competitors!!!"
Every news and opinion show can be balanced, and they should be. The fact that this does not happen is a deliberate decision of the marketing departments of broadcasters, and we need to bring the Fairness Doctrine back and impose it on cable television.
