More proof of Fox News' Blatant Conservative Bias

Re: More proof of Fox News' Blatant Conservative Bias

I see the point of your argument Pacific in that the recently hired Fox analyst is too involved in the upcoming process.

However, I recall Wesley Clark being hired as an analyst at CNN during the 2004 election. Another example is John Kerry having an article in the op-ed section of the New York Times on the morning President Bush was going to address the country about Iraq last Tuesday. Why not attack those outlets too if you're going to go after Fox?

My point is that all these media sources are biased left or right, so why be surprised or expect Fox to broadcast their bias?

How's about everyday they run that fair and balanced BS. And if you ever doubt that there are people out there who buy it and argue that Fox is telling the truth, while all other media outlets are biased to the left, check out the message board on hannity.com. When I used to hang out over there, the posters would fight tooth and nail to argue that Fox was not biased and was telling the truth.

Finding lib bias in the NYT is about as easy as shooting fish in a barrel...I have no less of a problem with it in the NYT. Didn't know about CNN hiring Clark as an analyst...just as bad as Fox hiring Gray.

Wrong dude...as much time as the right spendsd carping about liberal bias, they should have the spotlight turned back on them when appropriate. Bias isn't the one-way street most conservatives would have you believe.

Them...me...where's the connection???

For me, Fox's biggest problem is that they push opinion-based programming as news. Most news sources draw a distinction between opinion- and fact-based programming -- Fox comingles the two...

i was watching daily show for the first time in like 2 years last eve and i remember why i stopped watching. it is exactly what pacific is whining about, just the mirror image though. does john stewart think he can get GW out, cuz he seems like he wakes up crying everyday realizing that he failed his mission to get kerry into office.

The big difference is that Stewart is on a comedy channel. Granted there are many people who actually use the Daily Show to get their news, which is fucked, but that's a whole 'nother discussion. I would hope that Stewart would apply just as sharp commentary to a dem admin as he does to the Bush admin.

Also, although Stewart obviously leans left personally, he views his job description (when it comes to political humor, anyway) as "pointing out the absurdity in politics." Right now, republicans control the presidency, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court. What else does he have to poke fun at? Of course it is going to appear that he's bashing the right...

During the election season, Stewart didn't shy away from passing out barbs to Kerry when they were deserved as well.

Perhaps most importantly, however, Stewart is a comedian, not a political commentator.

Seriously doubt it. The material may be joking, but he sure as hell isn't.

Well, he can't quite do it these days considering there is a republican administration.
