KansasMeg had already explained:
The reporters/anchor persons on FOX News portray themselves as objective journalists, when in fact they are not. [I am] not saying it is wrong for them to be "opinion journalists" or pundits, that's perfectly fine. Heck, the liberals have Air America.

That is your opinion, not fact. They have Democrat and Republican reporters, journalists, and political pundits.

Ya, I sounded pretty darn outraged there, didn't I.

You are but one speck in the left wing political spectrum. I didn't speak to you specifically.

If they don’t spout the News you agree with it isn’t fair. If they don’t give equal time to some left winger minute by minute, they are not balanced.
True, if FOX gives more time to Republicans than Democrats it IS unblananced. But that doesn't bother me. Give all the time you want to Republicans. Heck, give them 100% of the broadcast time. I woundn't expect Air America to give Republicans 50% of the air time, so why should I expect anything more from Fox? Like I had said...

Do you keep track of the minutes? How do you know they don’t give equal time? Does Al Franken tell you? Lol Of course it bothers you, or you wouldn’t mention it.

There is a clear Republican/Conservative agenda over there at Fox News, no doubt about it. And like I said before, that's fine. But they need to be forthright about their intentions.
|
There is a clear agenda to present both sides of the issues. You would have to have a chart of how much time they give to both sides to say they are not balanced. Do you have any links to that information, or are you just pulling stats out of thin air?

Are you getting it yet, Squawker?

Of course I am. You are just another leftie spouting off about Fox.

The only problem I have with Fox News is that they misrepresent themselves. They portray themselves as "fair and balanced" when they truely are not. And this misrepresentation leads some viewers to believe they are watching unbiased news. I am NOT upset with the greater coverage by Republicans rather than Democrats. I am NOT upset that they spout the news I don't agree with.
|
Fox doesn't misrepresent themselves, the left wing political groups do that. They don't want you to believe anything you might hear on Fox that exposes their lies.

Now that you've got the message clear, got a better response?

I got the message the first time, and I didn't learn anything new the second time.
What would you call fair and balanced?
