Yes, of course, Fox News is biased. And so is CNN, MSNBC, et al. And it's simple, too. All sources of news are biased because people are biased.

And I think it's unfair to compare Fox News to, say, ABC News since ABC News doesn't run a 24-hour channel. The more appropriate comparison would be the non-opinion/commentary broadcasts at Fox News and ABC News broadcasts.

Many of the people here are unfairly lumping in O'Reilly and others as though Fox News presents them as news broadcasts when that certainly is not the case.

Also, I think many people see a major bias at Fox News not because Fox News is intentionally being a conservative broadcaster. Rather, it's because Fox News presents news in a more centered, straight-forward manner than it appears right-wing when viewed against CNN, MSNBC, et al which, imo, are hardly presenting the news in any neutral respect.

But Fox News isnt a news channel, its an "opinion channel" and almost brainwashing like in nature.. Euronews is a newshannel it has no opinions, just briefs on news for 30 minute. I prefer such a format. BBC is the newschannel I trust the most of the big ones. For a British News channel it certainly remains mostly neutral(yet typically western with bias on behalf of the west rather than any political leaning).

Tss.. I only had Fox News for a year. It brainwashed me, when I saw other news channels and fox afterwards I realized that it was enormously biased. And I have watched a dusin news channels ever since almost on a daily basis. So its not ignorance, rather my opinion based on LOTS of experience with new channels. CNN is the least biased US news channel. I can see how MSNBC is biased for example, heh, but clearly less than Fox.
The US channel I prefer to watch is CNBC.. ;)

All US channels have a problem with tradition, its too rooted in the past and too afraid to have any liberal opinions. So I do not necessarily agree with the financial viewpoints of CNBC, yet I like to watch it. China CCTV news is also pretty good, less biased than all the US news channels, can you imagine that, I find that fact extraordinary, a Chinese channel, the same country who sensors things. Their nationalism is sweet rather than dangerous.

No, Fox News has its news programs as well as its opinion/commentary programs. Just as CNN, MSNBC, and others.

Like I said, people whining about Fox unfairly believe that Fox News presents all of its programming as "news." That simply is not true.

Euronews is a newshannel it has no opinions, just briefs on news for 30 minute.[/quote]

Like Headline News in the states.

I prefer such a format. BBC is the newschannel I trust the most of the big ones. For a British News channel it certainly remains mostly neutral(yet typically western with bias on behalf of the west rather than any political leaning).

Uh, BBC refuses to use the word "terrorist" to describe, ~gulp~ ...terrorists. Instead, they label such individuals as "militants" or "insurgents." I can buy the point that such labels necessarily involve value judgments, however, eschewing such labels has the opposite effect of legitimizing the actions of terrorists and elevating their them to co-equal status with soldiers, both of which are revolting.

Nah, thats just not true. Fox is way out on the Republican side, CNN is rather in the center of the total scale, but leaning towards the democrats, MSNBC on the other hand is a Democrats channel opposite Fox, even though not as extreme.
 
Is Fox new biased?

OF Course Fox new is biased.
Does a whale poop in sea? Does a Horse have four legs?
Is G.W. Bush the worse president in the history of the United States? Is Earth the third planet from the sun? :spin:

General News - Bush withdraws 1 of 19 pardons he issued Tuesday :lol: main problem with pardon is that he was a Democrat.

I think it is almost impossible for anything not to be biased torwards the author or anchors opinion. It's a basic human condition that can only be over come in a 'utopia', which in itself is impossible.

The so-called news channels must improve, must move beyond this childishness...Many of us are independents and have a better idea of "how to think"...
In the USA , do we have any good honest unbiased news ???

PBS ??
 
Fox News is hated by lefty`s because if it was gone they could enjoy 24/7 liberal propaganda on T.V. without any dissent....they fear one station in a sea of lefty bias.


Haaaaaaaaaaaa.........Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....
 
Yeah, it's biased. But I could care less really. They don't need to do anything one way or another.

I watch Hannity & Colmes because having a "token liberal" is just comedy. But since half of the show is leaving I won't be watching it anymore.
