One more time: Fox News does NOT present a balanced approach to the news. If one considers Fox's conservative leanings in reference to, say, CBS's or Dan Rather's liberal leanings, then balance is achieved, but only by putting Fox on one side and CBS on the other side of the scale.
Fox, by itself, however, does not provided "balanced" coverage. If one watches Fox and nothing else, then one is not receiving a "fair and impartial" account of a news event.
In other words, people who use "balanced" on this board actually mean that Fox serves as a "foil" to what they perceive to be an overall liberal bias in the television media, which, in my opinion, is totally false.
Gotta run. Have a nice day. |
