LIAR. There is nothing remotely balanced about Fox News. They don't have a single progressive voice except Alan Colmes who was picked because of his geeky appearance. Colmes also isn't allowed to counter the rightwing very forcefully and is stuck with the most undesireable leftwing guests most of the time, like Louis Farrakhan backers, Al Sharpton and others most networks wouldn't even invite on because they only represent fringe elements. Besides Colmes, there is nothing remotely progressive anywhere on the network. Meanwhile, their big mouths are all outspoken rightwing ideologues, and both bosses Ruper Murdoch and Roger Aisles are strident Bush allies. Aisles was communications director for Bush's father for Christ's sake. There is now a constant barrage of rightwing smears and propaganda against Obama while avoiding real issues like the super high gas price corruption, how the hell we get out of Iraq, how we balance our budgets, how we go green, etc. Only a total fool or liar would call Fox News "balanced". Meanwhile, all the other networks have a relatively even mix of left and rightwing voices plus many in the middle or neutral parties.
