They make me sooo effin' mad sometimes. >.> Wait...more like all the time. lol They get their facts wrong ALL the time and are clearly biased towards the right wing. I actually wouldn't mind their conservative bias if they didn't purposefully distort their facts and take things out of context for their own agenda.

| Flappychap Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Oregon, USA Age: 28 Posts: 5,587 Join Date: May 2008 | Re: Fox News Faux news... Msnbc is fairly open in their liberal leanings. They dont pretend to be otherwise, and their independent and conservative commentators tend not to tow the liberal line, like the democratic and independent commentators on faux news tend to be right of the left. there is nothing balanced about faux new's reporting, and they are rarely fair. |

| DON'T TOUCH THE HAT! Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Immediate Family and Friends Location: Idaho, USA Age: 25 Posts: 1,098 Join Date: Sep 2009 | Re: Fox News In today's news market, there is no such thing as fair and balanced. Every station, every company has a bias, even if it's not obvious. Ever since the deregulation of the late 80's, news stations have no longer been required to show both sides of an issue. We still feign that we are being fair and balanced by showing some of the other side, but we're really only fooling the ignorant. Fox news happens to be the far conservative news company. CNN, ABC tend to be just a little left leaning. NBC leans ever so slightly to the right. CBS...I'm not sure where it stands these days.
