Disagree. Fox claims, "fair and balanced", & "we report, you decide". I don't see that as "right bias". Please provide examples so I may be enlightened.
That's because you stand on the extreme right of the political spectrum. That's ok, but it will prevent you from seeing Fox as anything other than balanced.
You may be correct on the whole. I'm thinking of the PMr's Kelly and Hannity. I can't watch O'rielly so I don't want to say regarding him. Smith and Baier don't seem so much. To be honest, I don't watch any of them very often, just when I'm flipping. I do, however, listen to Mark Levin everyday, and he's extremely biased....in favor of the constitution, which naturally biases him against most modern day progressives. I should also say, I don't really have a problem if some of FOX's pundits are biased. It's an expected free market reaction to decades of left wing bias.
I can't watch Hannity anymore. It's not that he's so far right that I can't stand it, but he invites guests on, and when he disagrees with them, he rolls all over them and they can't get a word in edge-wise. The liberal position doesn't need a counterpoint in many circumstances. It just needs someone to state it for all listening to go "yeah, that doesn't exactly make sense." He should debate, but lightly. Let the people damage themselves.
I haven't been able to watch Fox for a long time now. I mean, I can switch it on to see headlines but I am unable to watch Hannity or O'Reilly et al. I think O'Reilly is smart but his Levi-town sensibilities are like fingernails on a chalkboard. I seriously cannot stand Alan Colmes but in all honesty Hannity is unwatchable without some liberal sitting next to him. My dislike for Megyn Kelly has grown over the years and I regard her as a liberal posing as a journalist.
Brett Baier and his news hour are about as "fair and balanced" as can be expected considering the state of the media these days. The rest of FOX leans heavily right. CBS, NBC and ABC lean left. CNN leans left but not as much as the networks. MSNBC isn't even a news station. It's a leftist propaganda machine. IMO, all of the media are failing their constitutional obligation to hold our government to account. That one thing, and only that one thing is their job. They have been given broad powers with the 1st amendment. The reason for that is they are responsible for asking the questions that the everyman is not in a position to ask directly. It is only the media which has the power to dig the truth out. Their only mission is to expose, not provide cover, excuses, any explanation for behavior. Just report the facts. Period! The media should never, under any circumstances, have a political agenda or bias. Their personal opinions are completely irrelevant. What we have today does not even remotely resemble what it should be. Of course, if you just report the news, then you have a good 23 hours of air time to fill. Therein lies the problem.
Even more good news: Turner to reduce headcount by 10% Turner Broadcasting, the parent company of CNN, will cut its total workforce by about 10% in the coming weeks through a mix of buyouts, layoffs and other measures, the company said Monday. The reductions are part of a broader effort to save money and refocus investment, known internally as Turner 2020. The company said about 1,475 positions — out of 14,000 full-time positions worldwide — would be eliminated in the coming weeks. Within CNN Worldwide, where the workforce totals roughly 3,500, about 300 positions will be cut, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plan, totaling 8.5%. CNN Worldwide includes CNN's U.S. and International television channels, HLN, CNN Digital, and other ventures. About 130 of the CNN reductions are being achieved through voluntary buyouts, the person said. A buyout program for Turner staffers age 55 and older with ten-plus years at the company was announced in August. The remainder of the CNN positions, about 170, will be cut through layoffs. Along with CNN, Turner owns cable channels like TNT, TBS, and the Cartoon Network. The headcount reductions there will also come from both buyouts and layoffs. The eliminations "are at all levels of the company's news, entertainment, kids, young adult and sports networks and businesses, as well as corporate functions, in 18 Turner locations around the world," Turner CEO John Martin said in a memorandum to staffers. "Those whose jobs are impacted will receive every consideration and the respect they are due, starting with severance pay for transition," Martin wrote. "Whatever their job title, business unit or location, they have contributed to the success story that is Turner Broadcasting, and they leave with our thanks and sincere best wishes." http://money.cnn.com/2014/10/06/media/turner-broadcasting-reductions/index.html
You're wrong about my being "extreme right". Just because one HATES the Leftists, doesn't make them a right winger. I once answered one of those online "where are you in the political spectrum" questionnaires. It concluded I'm a "right-center Libertarian". Seems about right.
