Openly biased is better than secretly biased.

Isn't Fox News the only one that claims to be "Fair & Balanced?"

(if anyone is trying to "feign objectivity"......... it's Fox!)

It's not the bias that concerns me, it's the wholesale invention of stories and fabrication of facts that Fox engages in. None of the other biased news outlets does this.

It is the mark of the psychopathic liar that when they are cornered and the truth is revealed about them, that is when they become even more extreme and obvious. Just thought you'd be interested in that bit of knowledge....it's free.

Re: Is Fox News A REAL news organization?

Here's two more examples of Fox just making crap up.


Fox News, the influential rightwing US television network, said yesterday it had "reprimanded" its chief politi cal correspondent after its website carried fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry, in which he called himself a "metrosexual" who enjoys getting manicures.
Fox News apologises for Kerry fabrication | Media | The Guardian

the “fair and balanced” network took a major hit last week after a judge ruled on an incident that took place in April of 2007. Fox and Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade repeatedly mixed elements of the fabricated story with those from real wire
Federal Judge Rules Fox News “Gullible” and “Unprofessional” — Open Education
