Quote:I know people love to bring up Fox, but it's one network vs. everyone else.  Seriously, it's like Pavlov's dog with you lefties. 

 

If you remove opinion shows from the mix, and focus strictly on their news programming, they probably provide more balance in their reporting than any other network.  Unfortunately, lefties don't focus on that.  They look at the O'Reilly's, Hannity's, and Kelly's of the network and think that's all FNC is.  Even on those shows, despite the views of the host, they still invite libs to participate in discussions.

 

It's not the same when you go to MSNBC or CNN where they bring in faux republicans in order to feign balance.  Heck, MSNBC doesn't even bother with that any more.  They've pretty much gone all in as the Obama News Network where everything is done to defend the president.  There's ZERO news happening there, and their ratings reflect that fact.  CNN isn't much better. 

 

The fact that Jon Stewart is even considered a source for news is a reflection of where we are as a nation when it comes to the education of our younger people.  They think his and Colbert's shows are actually news shows when they're nothing more than comedy skits with news peppered in along with the mandated liberal bias of course.  It just shows how dumbed down we've become as a nation. 

 

Personally, I'll watch any of the news networks with a skeptical eye.  You can tell when spin has begun.  I tend to go more to print media both online and actual print to get my news.  I want to be educated on what's going on in the world, and understand how those things can have an impact on me, my family, and my community.  I also want to know what those who don't share my views think in order to better understand their positions.  So I'll go read Politico or other left leaning sites in order to see what the enemy is in a twist over. 

 

I tend toward the conservative, but you're really going to break your back trying to convince anyone with a brain that Fox News (yes, their news department) isn't as agenda driven as is NBC.

 

When you lead off the news 25 straight days with Bengazi, you're trying to make a point. But at least Sheppard Smith doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.

 

It's pretty simple: Fox News - It's Obama's fault! ABC/NBC/CBS - it's not Obama's fault!

 

For any of them you pretty much know what you're going to be told before you hear it. I think they're all part of Comedy Central.
