Should do an episode on Fox news.....

If they did, you might be disappointed. Just because a person doesn't like what they have to say, it doesn't make it untrue or bullsh!t.

I think an episode on how modern journalism in general is BS would be very appropriate.

In a recent UCLA study of media bias, guess which nightly news show was among the LEAST biased? Yup, Fox News Special Report With Brit Hume.

I contend (and the UCLA study seems to back me up in this) that the reason Fox appears to be the most biased is that they are FAR to the RIGHT of most other news outlets. But since those outlets are so FAR to the LEFT of center they are actually closer to the center than any of them They just appear far right by comparison.

The shows you mentioned are not news shows. They are political pundits and have no duty to be unbiased. So feel free to compare them to Rachel Maddow, Joy Behar, Kieth Olberman, The View etc... You'll find they are as FAR RIGHT as the shows on the other networks are FAR LEFT.

The point is that the news portions of Fox are at least as unbiased as any other network, and less biased than most. They just seem to be more biased because they are THE ONLY network that isn't slanted to the Left. I have no problem with pundits like Glenn Beck or Rachel Maddow spewing partisan bias, that's their job. But I would like my NEWS to be unbiased.

as stated before, there are many liberal commentators on fox news, and quite frankly, i find their news section rather unbiased. certainly more unbiased than liberal media outlets.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

The political left in the US have no support from the media. The non-fox major news sources are center / right, just not as far right as Fox.

They don't agree with any of what Beck was touting in his program at least.

But in my opinion Fox is a way too easy target for P&T, so I don't see the point in doing an episode on them. It's like doing an episode debunking the view that terrorism is nice.

Oh yeah and FYI everyone, Radical and Conservative are opposites. A person can be a conservative liberal without a problem, if liberalism is the status quo.

Oh snap. Another person who thinks Fox News is the worst thing since Hitler.... Get a life.

OZ is the best show ever... EVER!

The entire media is left wing, god forbid there is ONE news channel with a different angle. Boy you're real open minded you simpleton.
