Nonsense - they have liberals on all the time. Two of them stated fighting today - it was funny. Why are you concerned anyway? All the other stations are blatantly liberal and pro-Democratic.

Fox is deliberately trying to attract right-wing viewers with slanted coverage... Neither is trying to attract a balanced audience; only trying to carve out a solid niche of right-wingers. Since Fox News has a larger audience than MCNBC and O'Rielly has passed Larry King I would have to say that Fox news is presenting a more balanced viewpoint and the other networks are left of center. I think that statistics guy from Yale could prove my case for me.

The bottom line is that both Limbo and Fox pose a threat to "fair, balanced coverage." That means in Liberaleze "The bottom line is that Limbo and Fox pose a threat to "total, liberal coverage.""

Flap, But does Fox tell the truth. That's what I want to know. If so I'm one new viewer of Fox News. Slanted to appeal to the right-winger is ok if it's the truth.

Flapjack, From my perspective, Fox adds balance to the biased coverage of the major networks. I agree Fox tends to view things more from a conservative's viewpoint. On the other hand there are countless examples of cheerleading or editorializing news coverage without stating as such from the other networks. A huge marketing opportunity for Fox, they filled a gap while the other bozos will split the remaining viewers. It's also nice to see the liberals upset about the same issue that has affected conservatives for years.
