That isn't true.
FoxNews doesn't sit around all day and talk about how NPR or MSNBC has a bias toward the left. If they did, then, I would be acting like them. They constantly question Barack Obama's character, by talking about people he has known over the years. So, if I were to rant tirelessly about how John McCain has been friendly with, and accepted an endorsement from Pastor Hagee, a man who claims that recent devastating earthquakes In Israel claiming several fatalities were due to our lax stance on the anti-homosexuality movement, for president, then I would be acting like them. Aside from pointing out a media bias, I am also stating that I think issues are the most important thing, and I find it strange that Bill O' Reilly and Sean Hannity have nothing better to do on their show than talk about how much Obama's character should be in question because of his relationship with Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers. They never really have anything good to say about their own candidates. It's all about tearing down the other side. I haven't engaged in tearing down the R's candidates, and somehow, me simply pointing out that's what the R does to the L is engaging in childlike behavior. |

No one thinks Fox is fair and balanced.
We know their partisan to the right. And O'reilly mentions a left leaning bias all day long. You must not actually watch fox news.

The fact is that the media is a business first and foremost. We'd like to believe it's all about truth and delivering the news. I find the general reason behind most stories, like the sentimental irrational ratings ploys on local news, to be pretty despicable. But when you're talking about FoxNews, it delves into a whole new realm of sickness. Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes are the owners, and they basically have one agenda and one agenda only: To keep Republicans in office, for the sake of lowering their own tax burdens, and the tax burdens of their billionaire friends. I doubt Rupert Murdoch even has much stake in the right wing ideology, with the exception of that one issue alone. It's clear that they will stop at nothing to bash the Democrat's, because no matter how terrible of a president Bush was, and is, they will continually heap praise on him, and no matter how great of a president Obama is-(the man could pull out of Iraq, stabilize our economy, improve foreign relations, and fight for the middle/lower class), and they would still find ways to belittle him.

I don't see reporting with a bias to be a bad thing. In fact, I'm not even sure if you can have a non-bias news report. You're bound to take sides and have a slight slant on your stance. That aside I pretty much agree with the harpooning of Fox as a right wing propaganda machine.

It's not a right wing bias or a left wing bias , it's a supporting whoever Rupert Murdoch thinks will make him the most money bias.
As the Tory party found out when he instructed his media outlets to support Labour and Tony Blair after years of supporting Thatcher.
