Why should you watch Fox News? Because they're non-partisan? No.

They're NOT non-partisan.

You should watch Fox because they're the only tv or newspaper source (other than WSJ)where you'll hear certain true good things about the right, and certain true bad things about the left. That is undeniable. No other major source will tell you certain positive things about the right and certain negative issues about the left.

And you DO want an accurate picture, correct?

Then include Fox News in your news diet.

One last thing, try watching them without the preconceived mindset that EVERYTHING they say is false.

Hannity is a lot like MSNBC in his over-partisan attitude, but the rest of Fox is just fine. In fact, it's actually entertaining with enlightening.

Just because they say 5 "good things" about the right and 2 "good things" about the left doesn't mean you should watch them considering they lie about 50 things regarding the right and 100 things regarding the left. I'm sure that the Nazi's had 3 good things to say about the Jews and were often critical of the Aryan nation to a degree. Does that mean the world should have supported their voice and opinion?

The faux is a lying propoganda machine designed to keep hold of the ignorant masses that know no better. The goal is to instill constant fear of the "liberal agenda" (which doesn't actually exist) and any politician that's not wholly devoted to the undebateable list of talking points designed by the Faux's big business friends and Rupert.

I will occasionally tune in to FOX just to see what bull they will say next. Also, it seems like all the women of FOX look like stepford wives and have an odd "glaze" in their empty, little, bimbo brains. It also serves to reinforce the political views that I hold.

Given that CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC will all say the same awful things about democrats and the same glowing things about republicans, what's the point of hearing FOX say them 20 times as often?

_All_ of the national media has a heavy conservative bias, because it's all owned by very conservatives megacorporations.

There is no objective media source. Frankly, it is better to watch/listen to admittedly biased pundits when it comes to all things political. At least you know their POV.

The problem comes when any 'news' source claims to be objective but is really biased. The presumption of objectivity can cause radical notions presented to seem 'main stream'.

I prefer local news stations over the mainstream media. I'll occasionally watch a little bit of fox or one of the other stations but for the most part I don't deal with it. About the only news anchor I care is Dana Perino because she always seems level headed when she speaks. At least whenever I catch her.

Exactly....Claims it is far right come from far left radicals who think they are 'mainstream'...bunch of dunderheads.

Watch FOX news if you want really bad comedy from the right. The only people who take Fox news seriously are people with no research skills to check the so called facts Fox is flogging, and people without critical thinking skills.

Even well educated conservatives know most of Fox is crap.

Heh.

I'm actually of the camp that we should be critical of all news sources, because, as has been pointed out, they are all biased. ;)

Blathering about Fox news is meaningless without comparison it just reeks of unsubstantiated hatred for Fox news. Tell us what great and wonderful unbiased source you compare Fox to...Otherwise your arguments are empty.

I find I can't watch either Fox or MSNBC without wanting to yell at the 'News Entertainers"

If you can stand to watch both to get a balanced diet, more power to you.

There is a lot of that for sure. They are all trying to be news personalities. I actually enjoy the diversity in news media we have because it has decentralized the journalistic propaganda.

Also, consider that news is a lot easier to gather these days because of the internet. Cable news shows are just filters.

Stawman; I never claimed any such things. However I did say "I'm actually of the camp that we should be critical of all news sources, because, as has been pointed out, they are all biased."

Scroll up, you should see it fine. Your question has been answered.

Considering the vast majority of news on television is slightly left-leaning, it must be countered by the one right-leaning news station, and to fairly counter it, it must be slightly more to the right than the others are to the left.

Yeah, UNLIKE NBC-CBS-ABC-CNN-MSNBC-NPR-DAILY KOS-MEIA MATTERS, NY TIMES, NEWSWEEK, WASH POST OR ANY OTHER SOILED PANTS LEFT WING GARBAGE SKOW!!!

Peasants always serve their masters and say what they are told to. In the old days they were instructed by bishops, now by foxes. What else is new?

It has been proven that people who do not watch TV news are more aware of news facts than are those ignorant types who watch Faux liars every night. How pathetic!

I watch Megan Kelly on FOX in the morning. She's great. I watch Rachel Maddow on MSNBC with my wife once in a while. She's great too.

I watch CNN during the day. It is most objective. I watched WeinerGate and Wright 24/7 on CNN so the Far Right claims they only show bad stuff about Conservs is bs. The problem they have with CNN is simply that Conservs have been giving them so much more ammo lately.

Shep,Greta, Geraldo, Juan Williams, Lis Weiel, Bob Beckle & that Skeletor Alan Colmes prove that Foxsnews has moved Middle Left.

You should watch Fox News if you like mental masturbation.

People believe what they want to hear. If they're against abortion, they listen to anti-abortion activists.
It's that simple.

Because they are the most honest out of a dishonest bunch. None of them are perfect...or even acceptable....but at least Fox doesn't ignore issues and pat Obama on the back with compliments everytime something happens (positive OR negative).

Yeah...in a bogus study made by a liberal in a liberal university. That's about as honest as a poll that doesn't actually ask anyone what their opinion is. You must be really really ignorant if your going to base your entire view off some political spin. I can link you to more bogus studies if you want me to debunk your point, you know with lies, like your point has in it...

I like Fox News... it is the most credible of them all. :frustrated:

Unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly clear that they lack any real journalistic integrity, or even ability. On top of that, any media outlet that attempts to point out mistakes, inconsistencies or outright distortions with what they say is instantly labeled "leftist", or as some kind of sinister media saboteur that is attacking American conservative values, up to and INCLUDING apple pie.

So, in other words, FOX itself has become synonymous with American conservatism. To criticize FOX means to criticize American conservatism, in all its imaginary and indefinable vicissitudes.

In any event, if the information coming out of FOX is innacurate or worthless, then what value can it have, really? Even if their "spin" or perspective on things is pleasing to you or supportive of your values, or is not the opposite of those things, aren't you still put off by the fact that they are spoon feeding you mushy watered-down information?

Are you REALLY enough of a conservative to just bite the bullet and say "I don't care if they lie to me. They are the authority, so I will take what they give me, swallow it with pride, sit up and pay attention, and enjoy it."

?? Are you sufficiently conscious of the nature of your conservatism to just "take it" like a man, just accept whatever they tell you, because they represent authority for you? If so, more power to you, sir.

Someone has to represent the conservative voice when all other stations have taken a liberal stance. Also they report more than what the liberal stations choose to twist and censor. Obama screwed up today, Fox will tell you straight up, the other stations will butter it up to the point where a major screw up sounds like a innocent accident. I'd rather have the truth, not sure about you lol.

You're one of those who subscribe to the very corrupt reporting of MSNBC aren't you ;)

May I ask you a question? Because honestly I am not very knowledgeable about American politics, and there is something that has been confusing me greatly.

What is the difference between a "conservative voice", as you call it, and a "liberal voice"?

I mean, for instance, what does the "conservative voice" call for you to do or believe, as opposed to what does the (presumably bad) "liberal voice" call for others to do or believe?

If you were going to say what is the central difference between those two voices, the conservative and the liberal, what would you say it is?

This is a subject I am very fascinated and interested in, however sometimes I get confused and I don't know what side to be on. I get confused, because, for instance, John Boehner or Paul Ryan will say some very strong, logical things that seem very common sense, but then other times that big guy on MSNBC, errr, "Ed", yes, he will say some things that make sense too, like, we should put America to work, create jobs, and not let the Wall Street bankers ripoff the economy and send millions of jobs overseas for super low wages.

But then, Boehner and Ryan don't like the Ed guy, and Ed says bad things about them. So, this is where I get confused. And, woo boy, that Rachel Maddow, she just says some pretty wild stuff, gets me kinda angry, sir.

So again, I was hoping you might be able to tell me what is the crucial difference between the "conservative voice" and the "liberal voice."

Sorry if I was snarky before, I had drank several Jaegers with Red Bull as well as some gin. Ok thanks.

No takers?

Nobody wants to go out on a limb and try to describe the difference between an American liberal and an American conservative?

I'm sorry, but were you implying there is a single news media that is unbiased? Because there definitely isn't. I find "most" of the news on fox is a little subtle about their partisan behaviors. Like on MSNBC you will even see overly liberal commercials. To me its just a flood of liberalism that I can't stand. I would much rather have a trickle of republicanism.
