I think you're missing the whole point here.

Fox is not just "slanted to the right."

They are an eager participant in the right wing opposition to the current government, sponsoring and heavily promoting public protests. As an active political player, they cannot continue to pretend to be a news organization.

The real enemies to our national security are to be given the kidd glove treatment, they are not to be criticized, challenged or spoken harshly of, but to those 0bama views as his domestic political opponents, they must be crushed, silenced and vilified.
If this is the case, why did Fox News choose to broadcast another "bad czar" story while all the other networks were covering an important meeting about Afghanistan being held at the White House?

Is this worthy of being it's own thread? You have the opposing liberal biased news source claiming its opponent isn't newsworthy. That is like me starting a thread in which Glenn Beck criticizes MSNBC for not being newsworthy. Is this really a suprise?

I think YOU are missing the point. They are not alone in the way they conduct their organization. Its just that the left can't stand that somebody on the right is doing what they have been doing for ages.

A Foriegner comes to America, buys up TV Radio and Newspaper outlets. Soon he has his minions leading demonstrations against our elected government calling them Communists.
I'll stick with America

Also, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow both constantly criticize Obama and the Obama Admin, and Democrats in Congress.
I've already posted links in another thread. Look them up.

Calling fox "news" is like calling GOP press releases 'unbiased'.

They absolutely are alone in the way they run their organization, if you're comparing them to news teams.

If you truly want to make your point, you'll have to come up with some examples of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or MSNBC running active protest campaigns against the Bush administration. Show me where they organized and promoted Tea Parties or any other kind of large scale public protest to the Bush agenda.

Fox has very openly orchestrated the Tea Parties and 9-12 demonstrations.
