Yep.....do you think all the folks at CNN, MSNBC or FOX all march in
lockstep with each other? I think the FOX channel is conservative just
like those other channels are liberal. I don't think that they are
mouthpieces of the Democratic Party or go to that party for their talking
points any more than I think that FOX is the mouthpiece for the
Republican Party.
That's a very foggy mirror you've got.
Fox News *fabricates* stories
No they don't.

Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist
By Meg Sullivan December 14, 2005
Holy ****. Is this article your answer to everything?
It's 5 years old. Do you think the world has remained exactly as it
was in 2005?

THE ARGUMENT over whether the national press is dominated by liberals is
over. Since 1962, there have been 11 surveys of the media that sought
the political views of hundreds of journalists. In 1971, they were 53
percent liberal, 17 percent conservative. In a 1976 survey of the
Washington press corps, it was 59 percent liberal, 18 percent
conservative. A 1985 poll of 3,200 reporters found them to be
self-identified as 55 percent liberal, 17 percent conservative. In 1996,
another survey of Washington journalists pegged the breakdown as 61
percent liberal, 9 percent conservative. Now, the new study by the Pew
Research Center for the People and the Press found the national media to
be 34 percent liberal and 7 percent conservative.
Over 40-plus years, the only thing that's changed in the media's
politics is that many national journalists have now cleverly decided to
call themselves moderates. But their actual views haven't changed, the
Pew survey showed. Their political beliefs are close to those of
self-identified liberals and nowhere near those of conservatives. And
the proportion of liberals to conservatives in the press, either 3-to-1
or 4-to-1, has stayed the same. That liberals are dominant is now beyond
dispute.
