I totally disagree with you about Fox. They may have a conservative bias but their news is generally accurate. I'm sure they've botched a few stories but so has every other network. I'll say one thing. The left-wing has done a great job of smearing Fox. Fox is still very popular but there are also a ton of people out there like yourself who have the false assumption that Fox is totally unreliable. That is complete nonsense. That is just left-wing propaganda that many people believe. The truth of the matter is that there needs to be a conservative station like Fox that reports important and legitimate stories that the liberal media doesn't want to report.

A high ranking member of the IRS taking the 5th at a congressional hearing is a big deal. Yet the mainstream media has not devoted much time to the story. You hear a lot more about that story on Fox than the other channels. Yet if that IRS official was a Republican under Bush, that had targeted liberal groups, and she took the 5th before Congress, you know darn well that it would be the #1 story on every news channel every night.

I'll tell you one thing that Fox does. They keep the mainstream media a little more honest. When they pick up a story that the mainstream media would normally ignore, it sometimes forces the mainstream media to at least give a little coverage to the story.

There are also plenty of times when Fox is the only station that will report a big story. Do you remember this case? This should have been a huge story. It was to anyone who knew the story, but not to the mainstream media, who didn't want to report it because it didn't fit their narrative. Obama himself called it a "phony scandal". I do give him some credit. He convinced many liberals that it was basically a "phony-story" when it was actually a huge story. I would like someone to explain to me how this is a phony story. If this would have happened under Bush with all the roles reversed, people would have demanded that the Attorney General resign.

There was a liberal witness to this whole thing, in addition to the videos of the incident. Bartle Bull was a long time civil rights activist and aide to Robert Kennedy. He called this one of the worst cases of voter intimidation he had ever seen. The lawyers at the Justice Department agreed. They were prosecuting the case. But Obama appointees who were not lawyers ordered the lawyers to drop the case.

Astounding! I think you could do a poll of Roger Ailes, and Rupert fuking Murdock and they would tell you FOX is NOWHERE near fair, balanced, and certainly ACCURACY! Need i remind you sir the original name for the network was GOP TV for god's sake! Look it up you don't believe me! The GOP rolls out the talking points and this group of paid liars run with them, do they get ratings YES, does that make them in any way a legit news source HELL NO!

I have said Fox has a conservative bias. There are so many of you that have such a huge double-standard. You think that since there is a conservative bias that that somehow makes them liars, shills, not a legit news source, etc.

I could say the exact same thing for most of the mainstream media (which has a huge liberal bias). Look at the Associated Press and many of the other news organizations. They won't use the words "illegal immigrants". It's a good thing their biases don't affect their objectivity. LOL

In addition, you need to separate Fox News from its opinion shows. The news is almost identical to any other news. The bias is very subtle. If I got a transcript from a few different news channels on a random night, I highly doubt that any of you would be able to tell which transcript was from which channel. If I got the transcripts from 10 straight nights and you went over them very carefully, it is quite possible that you would be able to find the slight subtleties to guess which one was from Fox. It's very subtle. It's not major. Sean Hannity isn't subtle. His show is an opinion show. The news is a different story.

Let's check the news stories on the fox News website right now. Compare it to other sites like CNN. You won't see a major difference.

Fox News was never called GOP TV. Don't believe everything you read from left-wing blogs without fact-checking it. Where did you read that?
