Re: All networks biased
Say this is a scale from leaning to the right (negative) or to the left (pozitive nubmers.)
-15----------0----------15
The left wing biased media is some where around 4. Fox news is some where around -30.

Re: All networks biased
-2004 Pew Research Center State of the News Media. Showed 34% of the national press and 23% of the local press are liberal to just 20% of the general public, and 7% of the national press and 12% of the local press are conservative to 33% of the general public. Not only does it show the media is far more liberal than average Americans, but this is even more extreme at the national than local level due apparently to bias in the national ranks for promotion opportunities.
IV. Values and the Press | Pew Research Center
Thing is most people are liberal when it comes to one thing and conservative when it comes to a noter. If you where to explain that when you ask people you would only have a few % who are "radical liberals" and "radical conservatives". But fox news is a radical to the nutjob degree. And you have to admit its hard not to be bias because everyone has an opinion on a matter. But Fox news is actively bias, facts be dammed if they point the wrong way kind of bias. Its one thing to show a republican who screwed up 24/7, but its a noter thing to make up shit about a democrat and show it 24/7.
Like this just replace conservative with the word liberal and you have a story that will put liberal panties in a twist.

Re: All networks biased
I don't think FOX is more biased than MSNBC by any stretch of the imagination. It arguably is less extreme than MSNBC since at least it has a few commentators from the other side like Juan Williams and Alan Colmes, where I don't think MSNBC has any who are even moderate.
If you go by that standard then the best news show would be real time with bill Maher. He usualy has people form all sides on his show. So he should be completely unbiased right?
Thing is he actually is unbiased at what he reports, the problem is he only reports the nutjob republicans and the stupid things they do. I atcually love the show and watch it regulary but not because of the "news" because he shows the world how fucked up people in america are.
I am willing to admit that the liberal media is biased but if the liberal media can be called biased then Fox news should be called liars. Because liberal media still reports facts they may have their own opinions on these facts but facts are still facts. Fox news makes shit up and lies and reports that as it where true. I was willing to call that bias but if you insist on using such a deteiled scale for bias then liberal media falls in to the bias category but fox news falls in to the liar liar pants on fire category.
