MSNBC is not balanced at all, just like Fox.

CNN is pretty balanced, but is still "cable news".

How are CBS and ABC not balanced? Just because you do not constantly criticize Obama does not mean you are in the tank.

What a whiner he is.

It's just not good enough that he has all the cable stations, broadcast networks and major newspapers in the tank for him - he must whine and complain that Fox News gives the populace a different take on his fraudulent rhetoric and disastrous policies.

The only whiners I see are you & a few of your cronies on this forum.

I think the answer is that Fox really is "fair and balanced", and the other guys aren't. The rest are all decidedly left leaning, and favor Democrats.

Poor "Boy Obama" just can't deal with criticism.
Fox, Fair and Balanced? Do you even know what Fair and Balance means? Fox, Fair and Balanced, hardly... Obama somehow won the election? Against who? A formidable ticket of McCain/Sarah (I know Nothing) Palin? Give me a break, it was Obama's election to lose. Republicans did not stand a chance. Don't really know what the viewership is of FOX News but I think the voting public is somewhere in the excess of 110 million voters. Fox and the NRA had no bearing at all on the outcome of the election? You know why? Cause most sane folks are tired of the GOP's crap and their hands off approach to about anything except when it comes to orchastrating wars, they are bankrupt of ideas. This why you lost and lost big.

I think Fox is "spot on", with Beck, Hannity, O'Riely (though sometimes he is a little hard to take) and Cavuto (love Cavuto... he has no competition on the other networks)

None of the others ever ask the tough questions.

Couric is an absolute joke (Is there anyone still watching her?).
Beck is a nutjob which goes lock stop with the entire network...

He wasn't whining when he made the comment. That's only reserved for republicans that whining thing. When Obama made that comment he actually chuckled.

We will see in 3 1/2 years if this country still exists as it was intended.

Fox News was and is a 24/7 infomercial for Bush and now for the Republicans.
