I want you to prove it, yes.

You say he is the voice of reason at Fox like someone at Fox said so, or a conservative political candidate. If it was stated (at all) by some liberal talking head it would not mean much now would it?

It is hyper partisan for certain and has little to do with anything even close to reality.

You can deny it, but your posts bear witness.

PS All news networks have an agenda now days. What makes you partisan is you only want to call out conservative Fox and not the rest.

Also, I did not say that Fox delivers a point of view that gives me the whole picture. I said that Fox was one, among dozens, of the news channels I watch that contributes to my vision of the whole picture. Their distortions are no worse than those I see on other news networks. They're just more colorful and a whole lot less boring. I'd rather endure an hour of Glen Beck's tearful rants, than 5 minutes of Keith Olberman's mind-numbingly boring BS. But that's just me.
Yeah, having your entire news program ripped by the Whitehouse is a devastating blow to your credibility because people assume the administration has conducted some sort of analysis, or study, or has some supportable basis for making such a bold declaration against a news station. Also, if he is lying about Fox, other news agencies would rush in to gather evidence to contradict the POTUS. The media is always looking to instigate a fight. So I don't think the Administration would make these statements on a recurring basis unless they are confident they could back it up. So far no one has contradicted them. And in politics; if a statement is uncontradicted for 72hours it becomes the truth. Credibility at Fox is dead!!! I never heard Bush publicly admonish an entire news agency for being partisan because I don't think he could prove it.

"Boring" is not a metric used to measure news worthiness. For instance Beck is more fun because he discusses such craziness as "secret communist plots" revealed in the architecture of New York City buildings . That's not news, that's pure entertainment. How does that nonsense "contribute to your vision of the whole picture"??? And exactly what "picture" are you looking for when you tune into news stories about Obama's secret plot to kill our grandmothers, and form domestic armies???

I have consistently stated the same thing. What I argue against are those that claim Fox News has no bias.
Go back through my posts.....I clearly say that MSNBC has a liberal bias.....I have never said differently.
My problem is not with the bias ......it's trying to HIDE the bias behind a Fair & Balanced logo that is a lie. (& that's what the WH is saying as well)

N.Y. Time is liberal....... Wall St. Journal is conservative.....FINE.....Just don't ltry to hide it.

Go back and actually read what I said.

I was absolutely correct. You got it from some liberal rag and it means nothing.

PS here is your original lie, I mean statement, stated as fact...

I never said anything but that I heard it (or read it) I never claimed it was true. This is a silly thing to fight about......I said I heard it...you asked me to prove that I heard it/read it & I did!

(I never said it was true......it was a joke!)

Tough night last night Blackdog?
