I don't think the news is slanted. The only thing I've noticed is they could make the editorial shows a little more obvious as to their content/intent. It is SUCH a contrast to the old-line media, it appears to be slanted at first watch, but IMO is not.

I honestly feel it is very "Fair and Balanced". Even the conservative opinion shows have pretty staunch liberals on to give the other side. I can't tell you how reports I've seen on other channels without so much as even a talking point from anyone on the non-liberal side of things...

CNN= Communist Nazi Network
These guys fabricated a story about a POW camp raid in Vietnam, in which US Forces used Nerve agents. When caught in the lie, CNN just shrugged it off. This is only one example. CNN is also owned by Ted Turner, husband to... Hanoi Jane Fonda. Fox is ok from what I know. I think I read the question wrong... but CNN does suck.

I had to pick "Maybe a little" - but FOX is nowhere near as far to the right as the most accepted, "mainstream" outlets are to the left. And don't even get me started on CNN...

They are 'slanted' only when compared to the 90% of mainstream media that is WAY TO THE FUCKING LEFT. |

Just LOOK at your poll choices - don't you even see your own Bias reflected in there?? Nowhere is there a simple 'No' or ANY choice that infers approval of their network.
Even your "Not at all, never" is a fucking caricature. |

I love how people try to claim FOX is biased to the right by using examples of OPINION shows like O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes (conveniently ignoring Colmes). The fact is, FOX is the ONLY network that seriously tries to get both sides of the story - and they often do this by using people who freely admit their own opinions - which is a helluva lot more fair and balanced than reporters who claim to have no opinion but DO.

Fox is heavily biased... so is CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc. They are all biased. It's all about watching as many sources as possibly with your bullshit filters on full.

Fox is the only new network where in NEWS coverage you will consistently get both sides of an issue. NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, PBS are ALL strongly biased left and rarely give anything but the liberal point of view in NEWS coverage.
O'Reilly, Hannity and Colmes, On the Record, are all Opinion shows NOT news but even so Colmes and Greta Van Susteren are both liberals and O’Reilly is sure as hell NOT a Conservative. When compared this to MSNBC or CNN primetime lineups of Larry King, Hardball ect.ect. Fox is certainly more balanced than both. |

It tilts a little to the right but it has to because of all of the other LIES.

It ain't tilted for shit; I've seen stories with a serious liberal/left slant on it that really pissed me off. I haven't seen many right-slanted stories. Most of what I see is basic "These are the facts" reporting, which isn't cluttered with "These are what we THINK are the facts, and we THINK this is what's going on" bullshit.
If I want people to tell me their opinions, I'll give them a quarter and tell them what I want them to say. Until that time, STFU about your opinons, and give me cold, hard facts. "The alleged victim appears to have been shot by a high-power sniper rifle" = opinion. "The dead person was killed while inside Mr. X's house. Mr. X shot and killed the intruder with his .270 Winchester hunting rifle" = fact. |

Yes, he pointed out legitimate observations - My poll could be taken to show bias that I need to change - can I edit a poll? If possible, I will.

No. Libs just think it is because they look so stupid when put together with non-emotional, clear thinking normal people. Because they come off so bad, they just assume FNC is biased against them.
A liberal's worse enemy is their own foolishness! |

Fox actually admits to having more liberal guests on the shows than conservative guests. You can't really call Van Susteran conservative, that is for sure. Shep Smith and Laurie Due are both pretty middle of the road in their reporting. Combs is a flaming left winger. Yes, the have good balance. Cavuto is my favorite of all.

Tell you what really sparked my question - I was watching Brit Hume run a segment on Kerry getting a copy of one of his awards, and the language was changed to be more complimentary, and Hume was really going after Kerry - that's ok. but then Hume transitioned into a segment about how kerry is 'F'd up on the bush policy of bringing troops out of Korea...
To be honest, I don't like Kerry, but up to this point I saw Hume as a "facts" guy, and the questions he was asking were leading and really opinionated toward Kerry. |

Of course, it may SEEM slanted after many years of nothing but socialist pro-left "news" from every other television source. In truth, it's nearly even, if not a little leftish at times.

The main issue is that most people (TV viewers) don't understand the difference between NEWS reporting and editorial shows. Of course, the TV networks have purposely blurred the line as much as possible. If you stick to the NEWS portions, Fox is pretty centrist, while most of the others are anywhere from centrist to hard left, depending on the issue.
Fox's editorial shows are definitely slanted right on most issues, while the others are strongly left. -Troy |
