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.

Yes, we're to believe that somehow, because certain media outlets cover *** right's parades, or some journalists think stricter gun control laws are necessary, gives them a left leaning bias.
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.
