    i understand what you are saying. but if fox wants to claim it is "fair and balanced" it should - on the same program - admit the error and offer an apology. problem solved.

    fox continually holds themselves above "cable news" and claims it is the voice of the public, yadda yadda yadda.

    so comparing them to cnn or msnbc or other crap doesnt work for me.

    FOX NEWS INSIDER: “Stuff Is Just Made Up”
    February 10, 2011 7:20 am ET by Eric Boehlert

    Asked what most viewers and observers of Fox News would be surprised to learn about the controversial cable channel, a former insider from the world of Rupert Murdoch was quick with a response: “I don’t think people would believe it’s as concocted as it is; that stuff is just made up.”

    Indeed, a former Fox News employee who recently agreed to talk with Media Matters confirmed what critics have been saying for years about Murdoch’s cable channel. Namely, that Fox News is run as a purely partisan operation, virtually every news story is actively spun by the staff, its primary goal is to prop up Republicans and knock down Democrats, and that staffers at Fox News routinely operate without the slightest regard for fairness or fact checking.

    “It is their M.O. to undermine the administration and to undermine Democrats,” says the source. “They’re a propaganda outfit but they call themselves news.”

    And that’s the word from inside Fox News.

    Media matters is one of the most far left wing nutob organizations out there. Having said that, there is no difference between FOX and MSNBC. Both are partisan channels. Get over it already.
