I would have too agree, and I'm an Atheist. Thought I also think that CNN, and PBS seem less bias as opposed too FOX and MSNBC.

Just my opinion.
CNN leans left but not blatantly.
Fox opinion shows lean obviously right. However their news shows are fair and balanced.
MSNBC is all left all the time.
PBS, favors democrat policies and belief's

How did you shoot down anything I said? You give Fox of all sources as a source to MSNBC being biased. If I wanted to go eye for an eye I would just post one of the 100 times a week MSNBC does the same thing towards Fox, instead I gave you hard sourceable facts not some horse **** from one of these networks.

Did you watch the video? Let's try something that isn't from FOX News on the same story shall we?



MSNBC: ObamaCare Protesters

The man in the video was black and MSNBC's anchors claimed that this guy was part of the evil white tea party racists. This is deception at it's finest.

If the truth hurts, just say so. There's no need to act like a fool and play the intellectually dishonest card.

So regular guests contributors and guets: Juan Williams, Alan Colmes, Ellis Henican, Joe Trippi, Bob Beckel, Kirsten Powers, Marc Lamont Hill, Tanya Acker, Leslie Marshall and others don't actually "talk" when they are on FOX News?

half of those tools are conservatives themselves, who occasionally chime in with the 'I vote democrat, and even I, me being a moderate democrat, think Obama is a socialist!' the other half are the biggest bunch of idiots i've ever seen and basically play the role of Colmes, sit there and nod there heads until Hannity gives them his permission to speak, where they then udder some scripted bull**** until Hannity interupts them again.

Really? First the claim is that FOX News doesn't have any liberals and then when provided with a list of actual liberals that regularly appear on FOX News your comeback is that they are actually conservatives? WOW! I've seen spin before, but nothing like this in quite some time. Thanks for the laugh!

I really don't think you read my post in the first place. In my post I agreed with you that likely, MSNBC was some kind of tool for the DNC, however that doesn't somehow make it untrue that Fox News is likely a tool for the GOP. Do you just read the parts that make you argumentative? I think you do.

Who is saying these things? Aside from him being a socialist (which he actually is), I haven't heard this from anyone. And make sure to provide proof of these accusations.
 
here's some of the shenanigans that went on to get Obama elected


Liberal Journalists Plotted to Protect Obama From Rev. Wright Scandal, Online Mag Says - FoxNews.com
The documents offer evidence to conservative critics who have long held that the mainstream media were in the tank for Obama, and bolsters the argument that reporters with major news outlets are biased in their coverage.
Journalists working for Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic expressed outrage over the tough questioning Obama received from ABC anchors Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos at a debate and some of them plotted to protect Obama from the swirling controversy, according to the Daily Caller.
Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent pressed his fellow journalists to deflect attention from Obama's relationship with Wright by shifting topics to one of Obama's conservative critics, the Daily Caller reported.
"Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists," Ackerman wrote.

PROOF!? it was two years ago! Unless you have brain damage I would expect you to remember the Fox coverage 08 election campaign. No, I will not provide proof, if you havn't heard these lies before you have no business posting on this thread and claiming that Fox isn't biased because you clearly have never wacthed Fox.

I watched Mr O'Rielys fair and balanced show a few times. I counted the times he said a derogatory claim against the Left and the Right. I the first he made 110 derogatory comments to the left and ZERO to the right. How do you claim that is either fair or balanced. I was some times fewer than the 110 derogatory left comments but never made more than a couple weak comments against the right. Beck is even worse. He makes stuff up and sells it as fair and balanced. Fox should remove "NEWS" from its name.

Can you point to where I've said FOX News isn't biased? I started this thread and stated that FOX leans right, did you miss that part too? So since you refuse to provide proof, then your smear campaign is nothing more than a smear campaign. I watch plenty of FOX News. I also watch CNN, HLN and on very rare occasions MSNBC. I'm going to go with you being the one who never watches FOX News, you just get your information from such non-partisan *cough*bull*****cough* and non-agenda driven *cough*bull*****cough* sites like MediaMatters or the Young Turks right. I've never heard anyone on FOX state any of the bull**** that you accused them of saying, which is why I asked for proof. You've proven to be nothing more that a smear merchant and partisan hack. Here is your opportunity to actually provide proof of your blatant lies and you are refusing to do so? So we're just supposed to take you for your word right? Not going to happen. Provide proof or be laughed at, again.

None of this addresses the topic at hand. Try putting down your liberal playbook that states to divert, divert, divert on every page and try sticking to the topic. I'll give you one last chance to address what you claimed. If you can't or won't, then we'll just write you off as nothing but a partisan hack who does nothing but smear for the sake of smearing. Just to refresh your memory, here is the topic of which you were asked to provide proof:

Ooooh, NewsHounds! Another bastion of legitimacy! :roll: Did you watch the video? It comes no where close to the article that NewsHounds published just above the video. It's two people plus Hannity discussing a poll where 24% of Americans think Obama is a Muslim. Hannity mentions not once, but twice that he spent many years in Jeremiah Wright's church where he preached black liberation theology. This is a totally misleading article completely full of lies.

You swung and missed six straight times. It's pretty obvious to me that you are merely here to smear and deflect, regardless of the truth and regardless of the facts. I do applaud you for making the effort though, as pathetic as it was, at least you gave it a shot.

Compared to the rest of the industrialised world, is what he's saying. America, on the world-scale, is a right-leaning nation, compared to the majority of Europe, which is left-leaning. As such, the Conservative Party in Britain is in many ways farther to the left than the Democrat Party is in the United States -- the entirety of the US political scale is shifted a few points right, compared to much of the rest of the world. To a Brit or a Frenchman, for example, the Republican Party is so far right that it regularly crosses the line into fanaticism, reactionism and fascism. The Democrat Party is seen as a moderately right-leaning party.

In contrast, the Conservative Party of Britain would be seen as a left-leaning party in America, and the Labour Party would be seen as full-blown socialist (which in many ways it is -- but that term does not carry a stigma in Europe, and it's a perfectly acceptable and rational (most would say preferable) stance to align your party on).

If you can't see through the cloud of propaganda that Fox has conditioned you to believe without hesitation, then I am done trying to convince you otherwise. lost cause. But the link above wasn't an example of Fox's 'misinterpretaions' of the news, it was a fact checker, which you would know if you actually read it without that Fox mind control device in the back of your head. You made up your mind about this issue before hearing a word from anyone else and you know it. FACT: Fox News has a right wing bias. Plain and simple. If you believe otherwise... I'm sorry... It's to late for you.

O'Reilly is an opinion show. Beck is an opinion show. So is Hannity. It's not all news all the time, but I think there "news" is pretty fair and balanced.

Never heard during the campaign that Obama was born in Africa.
Never heard his best friend was Bill Ayers. Did hear he had served on boards with Ayers and also started off his first campaign from Ayers house. Both things are true, but according to Obama, Bill Ayers was "just some guy in the neighbood"
Don't know anything about the national anthem thing.
His father was a communist
Obama has socialist belief's
Never heard anyone on Fox call him Hitler.
There was alot on Hannity about Rev. Wright. It was ignored and silenced in the other media by journolists.

I went to your site. I tried to find where the very first one was a lie by Fox. I couldn't find anywhere showing that the 15 yr old was not 15 but was in fact an adult. It looks like Jennings even talked about it in his book and is probably where Fox became aware of it. Obama sure know's how to pick'em. Safe school czar, yea right.
I didn't bother with the other nine accusations. They're probably false too.
EDITORIAL: At the president's pleasure - Washington Times

However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim. In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools. On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated."

You've provided no evidence of "propoganda", you've provided nothing short of smears based on zero evidence. FOX News leans right and I stated so in the OP (I'm the one who started this thread). If you can show me where I've said anything to the contrary, I'll buy you a 6-month Platinum mebership here. There however is a difference between leaning right and spreading propoganda. I don't believe everything I see and hear on FOX, MSNBC, CNN or any other media outlet for that matter - none of them can be completely trusted. The truth lies somewhere in the middle because every media outlet has an agenda and a lean. If you can't see that, then there is no hope for you.

I understand that you are simply following orders and trying to smear FOX News. Your masters however must be disapointed because you failed miserably. You provided no evidence whatsoever. In fact, you actually hurt your own cause. I'll go ahead and give you a grade of 'F' for your work here. We are now done, class is dismissed.
 
If anyone actually thinks MSNBC isn't biased, MSNBC has Ed Schultz, as just one example.
