"NOT"A lot you know if you think Bill Reilly or Sean Hannitty are news reporters they are not they are news commentators their is a huge difference.

I hate to hurt your little bittie feelings, I hope I didn't burst your bubble I know a lot of you think Bill & Sean are gods you think, they walk on water ,

They are just like talk show host on the radio a bunch of hot air nothing more

I willing to bet most of Bill & Sean's and fox die hard's never listen to the news ...........This is why it is so easy for FOX to brain wash a lot of you telling you they are fair and balanced "YA RIGHT"

There are slanted reports in the media on both the left and right obviously.

I have never seen either. I have heard of them.
I am surprised that you would call them news reporters I have always understood them to be opinionists and bullies.
If you find them to be news reporters I suppose that helps us understand your point of view.

I love Hannity and Colmes. I listen to them on conservitive radio every day that I can. My dad is the kind of guy that thinks that Hannity and Colmes are the greatest ever.

Ugh. Hannity is the biggest cry-baby I've heard on conservative radio. We (conservatives) never get our side reported in the mainstream media, those liberals have taken over, blah blah blah. Come on, guy! You have your conservative pres, congress, etc. Why on earth do you think you've been short-handed?

And then there's Alan Colmes. He's got to be the weakest, squirliest liberal on the radio. But no shock there, he is paid by FOX News. What conservative media outlet would want a real lib on their airwaves?

But Bill O'Reilly...does anyone support him? I have yet to find one conservative who doesn't see him as arrogant and annoying.

I personally think Al Franken (Air America Radio) has a great show. Not all this yelling or whinning you get from the conservative talk-shows. Plus he takes truth-telling very seriously.

But if you want *news* from actual reporters try NPR.

I have just stopped reading and watching biased news and have stuck with NPR...and the evil PBS in a scape, but i don't like their style of reporting, so i tend to shy away from them

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?

Get used to the Fox bashing here, Aquapub. The left will try to discredit what you say if you even admit to watching Fox. If you don't watch the media they approve of as legitimate, you are labeled as "uninformed".

Liberals DO know the difference between opinion and objective journalists. The reporters/anchor persons on FOX News portray themselves as objective journalists, when in fact they are not. Not saying it is wrong for them to be "opinion journalists" or pundits, that's perfectly fine. Heck, the liberals have Air America. It's just that Fox says "we report, you decide" and describe themselves as "fair and balanced" which clearly they are not. That's misguiding the viewer.

You would roll your eyes at someone who constantly quotes Al Franken, Jon Stewart, etc... as if they are objective reporters. So why shouldn't Liberals question the legitimacy of "news" that comes from the FOX News network?

BTW, is there a news outlet that the majority of Liberals and conservatives could agree is, for the most part, unbiased? I tend to look at NPR (radio), PBS (tv), and the Associated Press releases (print) as mostly unbiased.

Not true. Rupert Murdock, owner of News Corp. which includes the Fox News cable network, sends a daily memo/agenda to the producers at Fox News. These memo's give orders to highlight any scandals within the Democratic party and to make news (positive news) about GWB even on days where basically nothing newsworthy about the pres is occuring. 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. Calling themselves "Fox: News for Conservative America" or something along those lines would be much more honest. Portraying yourself as a legitimate news channel is misleading. Its amazing how many out there think they are getting honest, unbiased news from that channel.

So 95% of the news media is controlled by liberals, eh? Could you please tell me where you got that figure and what sort of research was done to come up with that number. Truely, I'd love to see it.
