OK..will do..good to know that Bill, Alan and Sean aren't representative of the whole station... Those shows just make my blood pressure soar and I am sure they will yours too. Bill is an independent [[censored]], Alan is a liberal and Sean is a conservative. After that is Greta Van Sustern and I have no idea what she is, it is undetectable. I will tell you that my father, a liberal radical, loved O'Reilly, so go figure....

I TRY to sit through this stuff with my husband..He seems to LIKE all of those shows... I bat my eyelashes and ask to look at SOME of MY SHOWS..which I don't look at TV that much...so he is spoiled...

I didn't say the other channels aren't biased. I was wondering about FOX. Is it biased towards the political right? No, not at all. The news hour is straight up facts, and it ends with a panel of equal # of liberals and conservatives to comment on the news. It is far and away the best news channel on TV. "The best" is a matter of opinion, but to say that it isn't biased towards the right is a joke. The only reason a guy like left-leaning Keith Olbermann even has a job is because right-leaning guys like O'Reilly and Hannity have proven that extremely biased "news shows" (to use the term very, very loosely) can draw a decent audience. Fox leans right, MSNBC leans left. The rest at least pretend to be more even-keeled.

She has been McCain's biggest liability coming down the stretch. We are HAPPY that you dislike her so much, KRAZY! That is a plus for her!  Not when the majority of Americans agrees with me, it isn't.

Would that be CBS, known for falsifying memos in order to throw an election to suit their partisan politcal agenda? Haha, right on cue, as predicted..."Gotcha media" AGG

"The best" is a matter of opinion, but to say that it isn't biased towards the right is a joke. Krazy, I would point out that you are hardly an objective judge of truth; you are very, very biased yourself. No, Fox is not biased, they just report straight up facts. Facts are not biased. I figured that out a few years ago when I began a habit of voracious news reading every day. Fox was a cut above the rest. There was a fairly recent study done by a university that studied media bias using the ADA ratings they use on congressmen to discern if they are right or left. Fox ranked right smack in the center.

After that is Greta Van Sustern and I have no idea what she is, well, for starters, she is a Scientologist. That is a good indication of her level of fruitloopiness.

Well, it certainly could be sexist, Y'all are barking up the wrong tree calling me sexist, since I doubt you ever case a vote for a female running for President, like I did. That aside, if you want to talk about sexism, realize that any evaluation of a candidate (good and bad) based on their gender, is sexist. So here is one of your right winger friends being a sexist, looking at Sarah as a piece of meat instead of a qualified politician that she is supposed to be: Via TNR, National Review's Rich Lowry:
I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And I am supposed to take her seriously? AGG

Of course I'm biased. I've never denied that. I'm sure the story is that Fox has a mostly Republican audience because it's the only "fair and balanced" news source, right? Jeez...if you're going to be biased, at least have the guts to admit it.

Of course I'm biased. I've never denied that. I will keep that in mind. Thanks for admitting what we all knew, Krazy.

I figured that out a few years ago when I began a habit of voracious news reading every day. Fox was a cut above the rest. I get my local paper, the NY Times and NY Post online. It has been such an eye-opener for me to see how far to the left the Times leans. My uncle, perhaps the only conservative on the west coast, cautioned me against the Times and I pooh-poohed him. Now I have to admit he has a point, although I never thought so before this election. The only things I watch on tv are Law and Order and hockey!
