[Coach_Owens87]

In all honesty I like the slogan "We report you decide" the people should be the ones that decide which reports they believe and not have any single news source bombarding them with one sided storys. You always demean Fox News because they as you say "push a conservative agenda". Since your in favor of fair and balanced reporting, I have to ask you why don't you belittle other networks for pushing a liberal agenda? You can't say they don't lie nor can you say their reporting is fair and balanced.

The reason I dont complain much about the so called "Liberal Bias" in media is becuase for the most part they dont make outlandish claims, and when they do they're not shouting it for the whole world to hear. When Dan Rather made couldnt back a report that he gave on GW Bush, he apologized, and retired from his job. When O'rielly makes false claims every night, nothing is done or said, thats why I dispise fox. They lie on a daily basis, demean anyone on thier show that disagrees with them, and then claims to have some higher morals than the rest of the country.

I dont really believe that there is a huge liberal bias in the media, I just think Fox, and the conservative think tanks have sold this idea so well, that people actually believe it.

I think there are some great examples of how this "Bias" claim has been so popular. Clinton was a popular president, and Bush has not had a really great following in this country. So if reporting, and agreeing with what most of the country thinks is being baised, then I guess the media is. While it is true that the majority of reporters in the media vote democrat, I dont believe they push a certian agenda. But Fox which is owned by a staunch conservative, and owner of a several tabliod magazines, really makes sure that conservative issues and stories far outweight any limelight they give to the opposite side.


here are some great articles on this "Media Bias".
