Any other news media is much better than Fox so-called "news" for many reasons - see my other posts for evidence. The "others" don't LIE everyday that they are "fair & balanced" and "no spin". For example Keith Oblermann clearly admits his bias & will retract & apologize if he has told a lie. Bill O'Reilly does just the opposite - claiming "no spin" while lying. He stated he would fight Andrea Mackris' lawsuit "to the end" until he found she TAPED him -then he settled out of court for $10mil.

Hahaha ... thanks for the laughs.

I assume you are joking? Right?

Bill Moyers is saying the truth. It is incredibly sad that so many people have been brainwashed by popular media to sit down and believe any of the advertizing-backed wealthy-owned news channels but it is downright unbelievable that people can't see Fox as the obvious least balanced "news" channel.

I still think you are joking and pulling peoples' legs ;-).

The ignorance of the average Faux Blues watcher is downright frightening.

Some still think Saddam was in league with Osama.

Puhleez!! FOX has shifted the spectrum so far to the right that even supposed liberal networks like MSNBC and CNN are signing on conservative shock jocks to suck from FOX's nipple. Ratings or some crackpot survey of what your average dumb fuck jo thinks don't make news programs good. You have no facts to back up your claim that Moyers lied. Further, I doubt that you hardly ever watch news on PBS. Start now, because PBS is the only news network divorced from corporate interest.

And PMSNBC, CNN and NBC news has not shifted way left? If you really believe this about Fox, then you are a weinerpuss of the first order. Fact is, if you watch Fox news closely, you will see that every time you see one of the Fox hosts talk about an issue, watch how they present someone from the left and right of the spectrums to make the cases. Then watch CNN. Watch how CNN uses 1 lone conservative among many libersl. James Carville, Donna Brazill and others. The libs are stacked 5-1 almost.

On Fox you need to understand, they always pick out weak liberals. This is to give the impression of fair and balanced. Notice how token liberal Alan Colmes can barely hold his own against Sean Hannity. This is called "Strawman."

Fox so-called "news" is clearly unfair, imbalanced and unashamed and the evidence is more than overwhelming:
*Rupert Murdoch ADMITTED himself that he has a "conservative agenda"=PROPAGANDA
*BUSH hire Fox's TONY SNOW as his press secretary.
*Karl Rove hired by Fox "news".
*MODERATORS are the ones with the POWER & "last word" on Fox "news" - and ALL moderators on Fox are right-wing except for the half-moderator Alan Combs.
*MSNBC gives HOURS to Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, etc.
