Fox news gets a lot of it's reputation for conservative reporting from NOT having the usual liberal bias of most outlets. If you actually watch their shows, both sides get represented.

Actual bias is what you see on nearly every other form of written or broadcast media on the planet. But liberals think Fox News can undo the propagandistic effects of a news media under 95% liberal control.

Spare us the steaming load.

And what almost all the "evidence" liberals have to back up their outrageously bold and false charges of a "conservative bias" consists of is examples from OPINION journalists like Hannity, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly, who all, by definition, are not supposed to be objective reporters.

ACTUAL EXAMPLES of media bias come from news sources that are supposed to be OBJECTIVE.

EXAMPLE: Dan Rather using the words, "well-orchestrated" and, "Republican-backed" to describe a leak that Bill Clinton was about to be indicted in the late 1990s. The next day, a liberal judge appointed by Jimmy Carter admitted to accidentally having leaked the information. THIS would be an example of ACTUAL media bias, which ACTUALLY does harm. Sean Hannity stating that he doesn't support Hillary Clinton is an example of an OPINION journalist stating an OPINION.

Why can't liberals ever grasp the difference between Opinion journalists and Objective journalists?
