    Wasn't there a recent survey that said the fox was also the least trusted news source as well?

    Probably. It's also probably the most trusted by conservatives.

    Personally, I could care less as to what mainstream media source is the most balanced. That is like measuring how moderate different political ideologues are, except they are all pathological liars, mindless drones, or both.

    Fox news doesn't do much fact checking either.

    They're human, prone to make mistakes. What they aren't are dishonest like Dan Rather or MSNBC who edit things knowing full well they are telling lies.

    ie, Fox makes mistakes. MSNBC deliberately lies. There is a difference.

    Too bad this "study" is over 4 years old. . .and that Fox News has been increasingly less honest since 2001!
    By the way, do you realize how far Fox News and its pundits have fallen in the last 4 months?

    They are now back down to the level of viewing they were at prior to 9/11/2001!

    It couldn't happen to nicer people!

    - - - Updated - - -

    I think you got that totally in reverse!

    And the ratings is beginning to show that too!

    Umm.... Yea maybe for candidates during the election, but regarding decisions and positions of sitting representatives?

    I do not think so.....

    But you go ahead and hold on to that.

    I am not so brutal.

    When Fox lies...it's a MISTAKE...cause they're human). When anybody else does it....they're just liars. You gotta love the right wing brain disease on display!!!! Very entertaining! Thanks!

    What Dan Rather did wasn't an honest mistake. And that's just one example.

    Come now, we all know the only reason the ratings fell is over the election prediction. I will garantee you Fox will be right back up there again. Not like all the lies MSNBC has been doing and I could add on several more lies, dirty tricks and video and audio splicing to those already listed. MSNBC is the most dishonest news station on the air and we all know it.

    If you don't know then you shouldn't be on a political forum.

    The Killian documents controversy (also referred to as Memogate, Rathergate or Rathergate[1]) involved six documents critical of President George W. Bush's service in the Air National Guard in 1972–73. Four of these documents[2] were presented as authentic in a 60 Minutes Wednesday broadcast aired by CBS on September 8, 2004, less than two months before the 2004 Presidential Election, but it was later found that CBS had failed to authenticate the documents.[3][4][5] Subsequently, several typewriter and typography experts concluded the documents are blatant forgeries,[6][7] as have most media sources. No forensic document examiners or typography experts have authenticated the documents, and this may not be technically possible without original documents.[8] The provider of the documents, Lt. Col. Bill Burkett, claims to have burned the originals after faxing copies to CBS.[9]

    Both Fox and MSNBC are obviously biased. But Fox has a much longer history of lying and spinning than MSNBC.

    The only way Fox will get back some of it's "glory" is to change it's attitude and become more honest and less partisan. And it seems that some of the anchors are beginning to do that and calling the extreme Right guests on their misleading statements.

    In fact, MSNBC pundits seem to have gain a majority of viewers and have increased their viewers by just about thesme pecentage as Fox as lost them

    I would think that after the debacle of Fox reporting leading to the elections, it would be the average Fox addict that would feel the most lied to!

    If all those spins and lies spread vy Fox and their paid liars (Rove, Huckaby, and that "poll" guy) had not brainwashed the Fox addicts, the shock of losing the elections so soundly would not have been so great!

    All one has to do is go back to the archive in this forum and read the ridiculous, arrogant and totally delusional comments made by the Fox believers to understand how much damage all that spinning and brain washing did to the GOP and Romney's supporters!

    I always hear the Left talk about Fox lying. Many times it isn't true. Much like two of the ones Slyhunter put up. Fox was accused of being involved or Rush accused of saying things he didn't say. Funny I never hear the Left admit that MSNBC ever does anything wrong and they are so blatant in many of the stuff they do. I have no doubt Fox will be right back up where they were, but I don't expect to hear any on the Left admit it.
