Leave it to a liberal website to take her words out of context, and a phony conservative to spread their dishonesty.

1. YouTube isn't liberal... You got the video from an article by RawStory, a liberal website that also published the video on YouTube.

2. Look again oh phony one... I pasted the transcripts.

3. You posted an article that was a lie, and if you have any integrity at all, you acknowledge such.

Yes that all may be true..........But you have nothing to dispute in facts as reported..............Liberal or not............the facts are the facts.............Just because you don't like the source does not mean the report is accurate............
and to call it a "lie" without proof or cause is despicable


Don't you agree!

Her summary was accurate.

Note she was distinguishing the conservative evening show hosts from the news reporting. As she states the conservative show hosts do not hide their ideology of leaning to the Right.

Also think MSNBC does a valid objective job in their news reporting. Which isn't to suggest that Maddow and the rest of the evening show hosts don't have a strong Left ideology.

IMO,no major American media source does a REMOTELY 'valid' job at being objective.

If you get most of your news from one of those sources, then, no offense, you do not understand what it is going on in either America or the rest of the world.

It is a lie... She was talking about "News" not opinion shows.

When she said "I do believe there's a left leaning bias in news... in most of news." she wasn't finished and Rose interrupted with “You don’t believe there is a right-wing bias at Fox?"

She was talking about the reporting of hard news, so just as any logical person who isn't clouded by partisan politics, she interpreted the question to be about the hard news reporting at Fox News.

She even separated the 2 when she said "I think that Fox News is fair and balanced." referring to the news programming, followed by "And I think the conservatives who are on air here make no bones about their ideology.” which was her referencing the political opinion shows.

Obviously you are a liberal, because you wouldn't know common sense if it smacked you in the face.

So are you going to concede that RawStory article was bogus?

By the way, for a "conservative" you sure do love to quote from left leaning sites. You do it all the time all over this board. I never saw a "conservative" who's so fascinated with and believing of the opinion of the far left.

He's the #1 phony conservative on this board... Hands Down!

That's the second time in as many days that you have responded that way to the facts... Obviously it's you who can't deal with the truth, otherwise you would acknowledge those facts when they're presented to you, like any honest person would. Slinging an insult and allowing the falsehood you posted to stand, is the mark of someone who lacks integrity.

Fox News lies to the same degree that the other networks lie, which IMO is a lot.

What about PBS? Do you think Rose sees a right-wing bias in Fox's news programming?

I respect Baier, but I do find a subtle bias in the scripts he reads in the first half of his show.

Imo, The Frump will likely never apologize to Ms. Kelly, but if he ever goes on her program, I figure he'll be VERY sorry he did. He'd end up in the political version of intensive care.

Megyn Kelly manages to keep a straight face while denying ‘right-wing bias at Fox

“Fox News host Megyn Kelly insisted in an interview over the weekend that her network had no “right-wing bias,” and that it was, in fact, “fair and balanced” like the slogan said.

While speaking to CBS host Charlie Rose from her studio recently, the Fox News host blasted “most of news” for having a “left-leaning bias.”

“You don’t believe there is a right-wing bias at Fox, a conservative bias at Fox?” Rose interrupted.

“No,” Kelly quickly replied. “No, I don’t. I think that Fox News is fair and balanced. And I think the conservatives who are on air here make no bones about their ideology.”

"Fox News is not biased because the people who are the most blatantly biased are upfront with their bias."

False by definition, way to align yourself with a sunken ship.

Actually, her statement reflects "fair and balanced." I see many more liberal viewpoints expressed on Fox than conservative viewpoints expressed on MSNBC. Moreover, "fair and balanced" does not equal "no opinions expressed." You are wrong.

Fox News is no more conservative than Donald Trump is, which he isn't.

Nah, it's all about ratings. Trump will just make a big pile of BS and hope something beautiful grows in it.

"Fair and balanced," can be argued but "no right wing bias," cannot.

Kelly was referring to their hard news programming, which is as centrist as you'll find anywhere... at least that's what I observed in the past when i watched their news and a UCLA study several years ago came to the same conclusion.

Since it is impossible for anybody not named Mr. Spock NOT have a bias one way or the other, I'd have to say Megyn Kelly leans right.

Of course she does. She wouldn't be on Fox if she didn't.

Throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Once again, there is a difference between programming and news. Fox is obviously right wing, they use only right wing commentators, however their news is fairly balanced, especially in defining what is to be covered.

Canada's CBC is taxpayer funded, and therefore immediately seen to have a left-wing bias; which they do in programming. Their news, however is as centrist and balanced as possible, even when they cover themselves in scandal as they did in the Jian Gomeshi scandal.

The CBC uses Fox news as a source for US coverage where they don't have their own people. First, it is highly un-likely a Canadian broadcast system would use an obviously right wing report, two Fox covers everything whereas others have actually boycotted issues because they were raised by Republicans.

You cannot make a case for bias in news coverage, therefore what this woman is saying appears to be true.
