    The press covers up for Obama, they would never cover up for Bush. In fact they would crucify Bush.

    This is going to make it hard to beat Obama in the election. The press will do everything in their power to make sure Obama wins. He even has Hollywood releasing a moving 2 weeks before the election to pump Democrat voters up. It isn't fair. Where is the fairness doctrine when you need it.

    It's better news media than your liberal brain washing alphabet biased channels such as PMSNBC, NBC, and the Clinton News Network. Oh and don't forget PBS the liberal talking mouth.

    Please provide a source showing fox is better news then pbs. Cause I'm positive i can find more biased garbage on fox then pbs in one day. Also complaints given to pbs are taken more seriously than fox so if you have an issue tell them about it instead of just whining on a internet forum.

    In my opinion Fox is better news than PBS.
    Plus,
    Fact: Fox gets higher ratings than PBS. Ratings demonstrate that more people watches Fox than watches PBS.
    And fact PBS is liberally biased.

    Fox had more ratings than any other cable channel http://www.businessinsider.com/in-2...ewers-than-msnbc-cnn-and-hln-combined-2010-12
    PBS doesn't even register enough viewership to be included.

    Oh and further proof; Fox didn't hide Obama's gaffes PBS did. I already provided the link for that.
    Here's another story on that, it just repeats what was in the other link I already posted. http://www.theblaze.com/blog/
    How can PBS be a trusted news source when it covers up the news when it makes their President look bad?

    Actually, it is not terribly in error to call Lincoln a founder of the Republican Party. After all, he was their first and greatest POTUS. George Washington never had a hand in the writing of the DOI, or the U.S. Constitution. Nevertheless, he is considered a Founding Father of the USA, and rightfully so.

    There are much, much better examples of media bias than the one suggested in your OP.

    ur opinion doesn't equal fact and popularity is not a sign of integrity. That is elementary school level thinking. I didn't say pbs wasn't biased i think they both are because they are run by people with personal views and this often get in the way of their jobs. Fox is biased on a biased doctrine as they are controlled by corporate interests they aren't interested in the well being of their viewers they want money and will say whatever they can get away with.

    Barely biased right...
    some simple math for them only 97% of climatologists agree human activity is causing climate change. Now why would fox leave out such important information for their viewers? http://dropfox.com/blog/201106090025 But this isn't about climate change it's about media bias and corporate is the worst kind.

    What is really sad is to see a supposedly "serious" Right Wing discussion comparing PBS news analysts make comments about SPECIFIC political figures, and comparing that to Juan Williams making a BIGOTED reference indicating that he "feels" that ALL Muslim-appearing people are a threat to safety!

    PBS simply does not care to employ "analysts" who can't think deeply enough to understand such a basic fallacy.'

    Of course, Williams' level of thinking is quite welcome and sought-after at Fox "News", where it is standard operating procedure to have "analysts" to comfortably assume and propose that entire classes of people are "threats" to society!

    Further, the absurd comment that NPR was "gunning" for Juan Williams for "years" is hilarious!

    In fact, NPR had promoted Williams, and has shown itself quite willing to dump people whenever it wished. Since they have a fair share of minorities and various religions represented already, NPR has no need to PROVE anything, unlike so many Conservative causes who must champion their few token non-mainstream member to "prove" their "equality" bona-fides, so firing Williams anytime would have been unquestioned as far as some kind of racial issue.
