<p>Okay, I'm sure most of the people complaining about fox news really haven't watched it at all and are just relying on what other people tell them.</p>
<p>I've watched it a little and I didn't find it to be that biased at all. Yes, I know the talk shows have a huge conservative bent. But other than that, Fox does cover its share of (non-partisan) news that even liberals would like. Hell, Fox News was one of the first outlets to release the news that Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent.</p>
<p>Maybe a lot of the bias is subtle bias. I don't know, but is this the sort of bias people get angered by? Are people constantly on the lookout for this sort of subtle bias? Or is this bias more "blatant" than the supposed "liberal" bias that the mainstream media has?</p>
<p>By the way, I am very anti-Republican but I don't like unsubstantiated bashing/echo chambers.</p>
<p>FAUX News was the first to project Bush as President, when every other news outlet projected Gore, and the numbers were behind Gore.</p>
<p>FAUX News does a lot of fear-mongering, even excluding O’Reilly, Hannity, and Beck.</p>
<p>Do you honestly detect no bias in the news reporting? I have often seen it.</p>
<p>One thing I will give them: They send people into the craziest situations. Massive hurricane? Guess who the guy with the blown out umbrella and TV camera in the middle is.</p>
<p>Just by having Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck on Fox News makes it biased enough, if you’ve ever seen their programs.</p>
<p>But yes, it is biased. And this isn’t just people randomly saying it is. It’s become such a widely known fact/accusation that it can often be seen in political cartoons.</p>
<p>Local “News”: And bless their hearts in Blue Hill - the Consolidated School is giving healthy eating and healthy lifestyle a full court press this year. Kids and their parents got a taste - literally - of what healthy snacks are all about at the back-to-school picnic last week.</p>
<p>Okay it donates to GOP dudes and hosts partisan programs. Okay MSNBC also hosts partisan programs. I don’t think that significantly affects the main news of MSNBC. I don’t know if it affects FOX’s main news (or website’s news) either. I even link to science articles on FOX News and they’re totally fine. </p>
<p>and the main media outlets have something to gain by hitting on Fox so I"m not surprisd that they’d do it.</p>
<p>If Fox fires Beck and Hannity, then it will have a chance to seem balanced. But unless that happens, Fox will always be the pathetic Republican hub that it is now.</p>
<p>loll does that sound like a biased audience? Even Fox news readers care about caltech, which certainly speaks something positive about their awareness.</p>
<p>==</p>
<p>But maybe FOX’s reputation owes itself to its talk shows and not to its main news channel? (maybe the same is true for MSNBC?)</p>
<p>Okay so would people even trust the news on the main FOX news website? (which isn’t talk show or discussion or whatever). What I <em>do</em> know is that its articles tend to use much simpler English words than the articles from, say, MSNBC or Nytimes</p>
<p>At least when it comes to politics, I think it’s better for a network to be agressive and demand answers than to slide around issues on two wheels.</p>

<p>Well, “trusting” any news source exclusively can get you in trouble. Is FOX news a useful source of fairly accurate information? Probably.</p>
Even Fox news readers care about caltech, which certainly speaks something positive about their awareness.</p>
