Fair and balanced? Um ... no

People dismiss that lie so quickly, and say other networks aren't balanced. O.K., FINE, BUT WHY DO THEY KEEP REPEATING THIS LIE ON THERE? Rupert, there is no way any other network could be as unbalanced as Fox is. Even MSNBC has 3.5 hours of Scarborough n' friends' mainly Conservative talk every week day morning. That's hardly a Liberal's Morning Danish.

I don't think a guy like Sean Hannity claims to be "fair and balanced". But if you watch their actual news (like with Shepherd Smith), I think it is very good. I'd rather watch that than the politically correct nonsense on the networks. As much as you hate political correctness, I would think you would like Fox's news.

No, I don't like it. I've listened to it a lot. Like I said, the part I hate the most is that each day they start it out with an obvious lie (fair n' balanced.) I've never heard a good reason for doing that, and don't know why anyone would so easily just accept a network doing that b.s. The 2nd thing I don't like is that they are wrong on the facts way too often. After a while, it becomes obvious that these couldn't all just be innocent mistakes.
