Why do you say things like this? I don't take marching orders from anyone and have been able to observe independently the extreme ideological bias at Fox - both news and commentary.
It's pretty obvious to anyone without an agenda.
The whole problem is that like the WH, you believe that only Fox has an extreme ideological bias. MSNBC is so far in bed with Obama that Michelle has to sleep on the couch!
Ever consider the possibility that you like Fox "News" because it agrees with you?
It will never challenge your fundamental assumptions about the world in which you live, so in that sense it's like a warm glass of milk before bed.
That is not news. News should challenge you. It should make you think outside your box, give you perspectives you otherwise wouldn't have considered. That's why progressives tend toward NPR, because, while not perfect, they do that the best of American media. I think it's something hardwired in the psychology of staunch conservatives to desire their own views regurgitated back to themselves, because I've found most outside of that ideology get bored of that and prefer to see different sides of issues.
In all the viewing of done of Fox, I'm yet to see them fully engage in different sides (the best they do is something like Hannity and Colmes - where Colmes is physically and emotionally weaker, and not nearly as strong-willed, so they made their bias clear. Stand Hannity up against Olbermann for some real balance).
You haven't seen any evening Fox lately, I see. Lately would be over 10 months in this case since Colmes left them about the time of the Coronation of Oba mao. You might try them now and then to see just who is on and what they are saying.
You intimated that you have never seen Glenn Beck on Fox but I bet you don't shy away from badmouthing him and what he says now since you watch all those other channels and not him.
I'd be willing to bet you've not watched Fox News from start to finish, beginning with the Fox & Friends morning show all the way through Greta Van Sustren. Something tells me you'll come back with a plate chock-full of Glenn Beck examples, which means you have been bought and sold on the anti-Fox News spin that you are fed by your liberal media mouthpieces.
If i'm wrong, you'll come back with plenty of "hate and bigotry" examples that span the entire lineup of shows. If you can prove "hate and bigotry" is the modus operandi at Fox News, i'll glady concede that I am wrong.

I couldn't rep you for that one but I will do it right here. MSNBC is not on my program with DishNet but I don't feel bad at all that they aren't because then I would be paying for something I didn't ever watch for the very reason you listed.
Can you please give me some examples of this or even one ?

I highly doubt you can make the case. We'll see.
In my opinion, the people who cannot see for themselves the bigotry and hate pushed by FOX "News" are precisely the people FOX "News" counts on. Any examples offered that would conflict with their own twisted views would simply be ignored. So why bother?

But Gene, you don't ever watch Fox. You take all your info about them from their enemies, even the WH that has declared war on them recently. You don't really see what they say only what CAP of some place like that says about them. I watch it all day long from about 8:00 am to 10:00 and find so little of what you people say. I guess our biases are about 180 degrees apart so we don't see the same thing.
BTW, I can't watch MSNBC, won't watch CNN anymore, and can't stand CBS or ABC. I guess that leaves me with Fox. You keep on with your Obermann watching so as not to get any news, only anti-Fox garbage.

This article was previously mentioned in another thread. Joe Scarborough and career news producer Mika Brzezinski:
Quote:
SCARBOROUGH: The bias at every other network in America except it's a different type of bias, it's a left-wing bias. You and I both know --
BRZEZINSKI: I totally agree with you.
She also goes on to say that at the MSM networks, almost every reporter and producer is a liberal or democrat.
