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 to tear at Democrats. Olbermann and
Maddow may use hyperbole to make their points but they do not
fabricate. Nor do they promote "grassroots" gatherings and then
"report" on them.
ROFLMAO!! Trust whom you wish. I prefer FOX, you can have Olbermann.

They greatly overhyped the "taxpayer" revolt in Washngton DC and then
didn't even cover the gay march on Washington two weeks later that had
at least as many or more attendees -- and it wasn't promoted on
television by CNN or MSNBC.
Are you saying that the gay march wasn't covered by CCN or MSNBC either?

That must have hurt.

Of course, it was mentioned on FOX. You should watch it from time to
time instead of getting your talking points from the Daily Kos or the
Huffington Post.

These a just a few examples of what happens at Fox News every day. But
please feel free to keep fogging that mirror to your heart's content.
You made a statement and gave *two* possible examples. Don't try to
claim "a few examples".

And you don't answer to **** all. You keep fogging that mirror.

CNN and MSNBC both covered the gay march and the Fox News Taxpayer
Revolt (TM).

Fox News blasted the taxpayer revolt 24/7 for days. The gay march got
10 minutes of coverage. That station is full of ****, as are most of
its followers.

Congrats on creating your own fantasy world. You chose the wrong
capsule.

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.
