That could have been one of their little advertising things for all I knew. I checked my channel browser and saw it was the Fox and Friends segment. Lots of networks do that. I've seen Fox do something like that with Glenn Beck's logo.

No, we get it, Fox just blurs the lines when...you know, they air those opinion segments during their news block.
So if they air an interview from an opinion show as part of a segment on their news show, they're blurring the lines.

So if Morning Joe ever used a segment from the Maddow or Olbermann show as part of their news segment, they'd be just a guilty. Right?

FOX leans farther to the right, CNN leans farther to the left. Just pick one.

I definitely believe that Fox News is fair and balanced. While watching the Fox business news this morning, they reported that 50% of taxpayers are not paying taxes. The business commentators suggested that those not paying taxes need to pay more to relieve the tax burden on the upper income levels. Its fair and balanced if the poor pay as well.

MSNBC is the real left leaning one. CNN is closer to center.

I lean to the left, but I still watch Fox news. They are no where near balanced at all though. Anyone who was watching the Glenn Beck show yesterday would agree. They had a bunch of college kids on there who were young Republicans. GLENN BECK FLAT OUT SAID WE ARE THE ONLY CONSERVATIVE NETWORK!

lol what? 50% of taxpayers are not paying taxes? its fair and balanced for the poor to relieve the tax burden on the upper income levels? nevermind the fact that we're talking about ideological bias, not social equity, but still, wtf?

Nope, we're just glad to see them acknowledge that their mantra was a lie.

So you agree that the other news outlets are left leaning?
