But Fox exagerates the practice and doesn't even try to hide it.

Two requests:

a) Can you provide one citation of Fox "exagerating the practice" in a way that other news outlets do not?

b) Can you please let the thread know which television news organization you consider to be more "fair and balanced" than FOX?

While I agree that FOX, like OTHER news outlets, occasionally let their conservative bias show, it is apparent to me that it occurs far less frequently than, for example, on CNN or MSNBC.

Look at MSNBC. You have EXTREME LEFTISTS (Donahue, Matthews) interspersed with MODERATE LEFTESTS (Abrams, Nachman). Why aren't you complaining about MSNBC?

Look at CNN. BEGALA and CARVILLE (offset by moderate Tucker Carlson and near-mute Novak), Connie Chung, Aaron Brown, Larry King. All EXTREMISTS. You will NEVER find this kind of extremism on FOX. I've watched FOX off and on for 5 years and never seen the kind of imbalance you find on CNN and MSNBC. The major networks are worse.

The problem with Fox is that it does not present news, it editorializes news.

Fox news has news programs and opinion programs. The news programs do not editorialize news any more then CNN, or the major networks news programs.
