They were discussing the Obama administration and Juan Williams was the ONLY member of the panel who stood up for Obama, everybody else said that they were very concerned with the way this administration is handling the economy. Even Mara Liasson who usually leans more towards the left does not think he is doing a good job.

The tragedy here is you find such an example even newsworthy.
Likely the reasons for your tenuous grip on sanity is watching networks like FOX.
Not sure what your point is, if any. We live in a country where people are free to express their opinions, although of late, many expressions, and opinions, have become unnecessarily adversarial. If there are people within the Democratic party who disagree with our President I say let them speak. Public discourse is a founding principle of our country. And FWIW, I believe that people, especially the "Talking Heads", who chose to scream, taunt and insult in order to make a point, are a disgrace. If I were called upon to defend my country, I would readily stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my fellow Americans, no matter their opinions and/or beliefs, just as our fighting men and women do everyday.

You need FOX detox.
I do not understand why the liberal posters insist upon discounting any reference to something on FOX News. Although I do not normally watch FOX, I am a news junky and did turn the channel over to FOX this morning after the NBC and CBS news shows were over. What I saw definitely did not appear any different from what was on the other shows. For every Republican strategist there was a Democratic counterpart. Each was asked the same questions and given what appeared to be an equal opportunity to respond. How anyone could consider that to be anything other than "Fair and Balanced", I do not understand. For what it is worth, I am an independent thinker who feels that the hard left is just as bad as the hard right! I believe in forming my own opinions by listening to both sides and don't feel the need to be spoon fed by either the right or the left!

Because FOX news is biased. The don't deserve the respect of a newsroom who is trying to give objective information.
How many examples would you like with hard cold factual data to back it up?
They stack the deck with right wing hosts and guests, sprinkled with a small number spineless mamby-pamby so called liberals.

Sunday (AM) differs from their more common/popular shows (and even the normal news coverage on the Fox network), that they are directly competing vs the network news shows for both audience and guests. When they have their celebrity programing (Hanity & Company, etc), the Fair and Balanced goes out the window.

I believe the title of the post is "FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace" and I foolishly believed that that was what we were talking about, not Orielly or Hannity.
PADCRASHER - Please provide me an example from this show (preferably this morning's) that was not "Fair and Balanced". As I stated, I prefer to not be spoon fed by either the left or the right!

I was agreeing with you on the show, but stating why in whole they are not (in response to the other comments) and why there is a dislike in general for their broadcasts.
