Fair & Balanced Reporting? It's Fox, and that's a statistical fact

[Willie99]

Pew Research, a non-partisan research think tank, as released it's results pertaining to media coverage by individual cable networks.

As stated in an earlier thread, the main street media and the newspaper coverage has been overwhelming favorable to Barack Obama. Now, the same study reflects that only Fox had balanced reporting. The looney lefties are so used to a one party stroke fest, that when an organization is actually balanced, they think it's biased.

Overall media coverage (positive / negative) Obama 36/29 McCain 14/57

MSNBC Obama 43/14 McCain 10/73 (are you fucking kidding me?)

CNN Obama 36/39 McCain 13/61 (we have no bias :missingte)

Fox Obama 25/40 McCain 22/40 think2

So the only network that has statistically balanced coverage is called biased by the loonies.

How much more bullshit do we need to prove? How easy does it get? This argument is put to bed.

Fox is biased!! Wrong, yet again.

:nohead:

It's funny you post this. I work with a very Liberal women, who says the past few weeks she has flipped to Fox News to get the "Conservative" side of the story.

She said she was shocked, how they argued so much and gave McCain people a hard time.

I asked he if she had ever watched it before. She said No because she heard it was too Liberal.

Listen I get that Fox "slants" right. But they do have debate. It has always amazed me that Lefty don't get how Far left the other Networks are... thus when they see Fox being more even, they think Fox is WAY Right.

Interesting, I watch PBS Lehrer report, they were not listed but they seem to make efforts to be fair.

anyone who thinks that fox is not just as biased as msnbc is an idiot...

I watch neither but I notice people who I converse with have the same view and after talking to them they are all Fox news watchers.

just ignore statistical facts, they don't work too well for you

I didn't see them included in the PEW results. Obviously, there are balanced shows on biased networks, Morning Joe @ MSNBC and Lou Dobbs @ CNN, and there are biased shows on the one balanced network, Hannetty @ Fox, so I'm not thinking this report is all inclusive. There will always be exceptions.

Really? Well lets look at the 8 and 9 and 10 oclock shows.

O'Reilly is a conservative. But in many of his segments he has on people who disagree with him and provide the other side of the issue. Olbermann? Yes man after Yes man to reinforce Keith's opinion.

9pm...Hannity AND Colmes. Hannity is the stronger Host no doubt, but again people are brought on that DISAGREE.

MSNBC has on that Little Boy Clone of Olbermann at 9pm.

10Pm, Fox has greta, Non political mostly, MSNBC reruns Olbermann.

Seems clear Fox slants Right..MSNBC is Lefty Propaganda Network.

Oops meant to say she heard it was too conservative.

At 7, Fox has news, MSNBC has the queer guy whose leg tingles when Obama speaks

I said it before. Regular FOX news from the studio and local FOX news is perfectly OK. It's responsible journalism, and I feel OK watching it.


Fox & Friends, Hannity and O'reilly factor. Are all way over the top biased righty BS that everyone should avoid. The same way you would avoid Keith Olbermann. But let's keep in mind these guys are pundits and it is perfectly OK for them to have a bias.

Fox is very fair and the other ones are not. This is so obvious it need not to even be said. Fox is also gooder than the rest be as well.

Agreed, and O'Rielly doesn't have differing opinions on so that he can yell over them when they are trying to make a point.

How the hell is Rachel Maddow that high?

How the hell is Rachel Maddow that high?

Was that the Night she interviewed Obama?

 

[Mistermj]

How the hell is Rachel Maddow that high?

Thats the only way they get that high...put in fake numbers. :nohead:

 

[kcameron95]

Maddow/Olbermann are neck/neck with Oreilly/Hannity in the key 25-54 demo. That is what advisers pay money for.

If you think Fox is "Fair & Balanced" just watch this. You don't need a poll telling you which way Fox leans.
