I don't know...never watched it...don't ever intend to.
or the New York Times trying to smear Republicans.
CNN and MSNBC almost always include a conservative perspective in their news analysis...
Yes, FOX news is biased and one would think this would be common knowledge considering the fact that a deluge of FOX's internal memos reveal that it's primary goal is to damage the Democratic party. In fact, the one crusade shared by nearly every host is to smear Hillary Clinton and lambast both her and Bill with personal insults. The views expressed on FOX by the majority of it's pundits, hosts, and anchors are overwhelmingly right wing but, to be "fair and balanced", every major media outlet has painfully obvious political leanings and loyalties though many of them won't admit it. Take the New York Times for example: It consistantly denied that it is dedicated to the cause of the left wing until an internal memo popped out of the woodwork and revealed that the paper had a deeply rooted liberal bias.
oh, how I would love to have a true debate or a private debate with you, TOT! you be wrong 'bout everythang. pick a topic...TOT said:Not anymore than MSNBC or CNN infact the only show that is decisively bias is Hannity and Colmes however, that show is supposed to be biased and it's biased towards both sides of the spectrum. Now alot of you'll say that O'reilly is biased well compare him to that left wing shill Keith Olberman it's no comparison as to who is more biased. Then there's the UCLA study that found Fox to be centrist. What's really sad here is that the left has two of the three 24 hour news networks, all of public broadcasting, and all three of the big networks IE ABC CBS and NBC and yet they still complain about Fox News, it's Fox News that that is called a propaganda machine while these leftist nutbags don't realize how indoctrinated they are because they complain about the one station and then ignore the littany of propaganda they are fed from the NYT's to the PBS.

BBC of the UK is not biased. Its independant and touches both side, but seem very balanced in the center.
Most news in the US are ultra rightist conservative, while a few that people in the US would call leftist in most definition are centrist.
Ya Keith Olberman always gets balanced out. :roll:
Trajan Octavian Titus said:You call Colmes a foil but the only Republicans on MSNBC are ****ing RINO's IE Scarborough and Carlson sh!t Scarborough came out for support of Al Gore on Bill Maher two weeks ago.
oh, how I would love to have a true debate or a private debate with you, TOT! you be wrong 'bout everythang. pick a topic...
1. is Fox more biased than MSNBC or CNN?
* Certainly sir, not fox, but fox news.
2. is the only decisively biased show on Fox Hannity and Colmes?
*absolutely every show on fox is a rightist conservative parade.
3. are Hannity and Colmes biased towards both sides of the spectrum?
*no, just to the right side, colmes is just a scripting man, he isnt a democrat, he voted for Bush.
4. does a comparison of two shows (O'Reilly and Olbermann) have anything to do with a single network's overall bias?
*no sir, you have to watch the whole specter, with fox news this is very one sided, definetely not balanced as they say, not fair since its propaganda like.
5. are the findings of the UCLA study (that found Fox to be centrist) sound?
*no, this is just propaganda, fox must have paid them off, or the people who studied it must have been from the extreme right like TOT.
6. does "the left" actually "have" two of the three 24 hour news networks, all of public broadcasting, and all three of the big networks IE ABC CBS and NBC?
*in Europe, most American newschannels would be branded rightist or center-right.
7. who is more biased? Fox or (insert name of any other media entity here)?
*FOX News!!!!!!!!
Again not according to scientific analysis.
8. or just say the word and you can stand in for Cold Dirt in the private debate I've already set up.
I would like to see you have a go a TOT in a private debate, he is the ultimate righ****t conservative.
Olbermann isn't supposed to be balanced, just like Bill O'Reilly isn't supposed to be balanced. Those are opinion shows, and that's fine. The problem is that FOX News' political agenda regularly goes beyond the opinion shows into its news coverage. I gave a couple examples above.
Scarborough and Carlson both have their own shows to say whatever they think. They aren't weak debaters being paired up against some assertive liberal.
And let's not forget Bob Novak, who was on CNN for years until his bizarre outburst last year. Is he a RINO too?
There are other conservatives that regularly appear on those networks. Pat Buchanan is on MSNBC almost every day.
ok, how about this one:TOT said:Any topic anytime.
I love it when right wingers respond to charges about the content of news coverage, with examples that have nothing to do with the content of news coverage.TOT said:In a survey conducted by the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1997, 61% of reporters stated that they were members of or shared the beliefs of the Democratic. Only 15% say their beliefs were best represented by the Republican. A survey by the PEW research center and Project for Excellence in Journalism in 2004 found 34% of journalists describing themselves as liberal, 54% as moderate, and 7% as conservative.

private debate? you and me? I'll set it up and propose some parameters.
I love it when right wingers respond to charges about the content of news coverage, with examples that have nothing to do with the content of news coverage.
in order to reach a conclusion about the overall content of news coverage, one *ought to* point to empirical evidence that examines overall content of news coverage.
