Fox News is Fair and Balanced.

[Dad2three]

According to a Media Matters review, at least 32 Fox News figures have backed Republican efforts in more than 300 instances during the 2011-2012 election cycle. The Fox News personalities have campaigned for Republicans nationally and in more than 40 states.

These Fox News campaigners have officially endorsed candidates; advised campaigns; played key roles in fundraisers and events; recorded advertisements and robocalls; and helped direct expenditures to support Republicans and oppose Democrats through Republican-aligned groups.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is the largest beneficiary of the Fox News campaigning. Five Fox News figures are advising Romney's campaign, and nine have been featured in a Romney event.


Media Matters previously examined Fox News personalities who have rallied for Republican causes in prior years, Fox's active role in the GOP presidential primary, the network's support for the Tea Party movement, and Fox's four-year campaign to make Barack Obama a one-term president.

Fox News has been notorious for employing Republican operatives and candidates. These are people far more instrumental to the messaging of the Republican Party. They include much of George W. Bush’s “brain” trust (i.e. Karl Rove, John Bolton, Liz Cheney), and party leaders like former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and their just past nominee for VP Sarah Palin.

There was a point in time when almost half of the Republican's running for President in 2012, from Sarah Palin to Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were all simultaneously working for Fox News.


Fox is the PR arm of the Republican Party. Their anchors are as much responsible for GOP propaganda as their well-connected contributors. No one at MSNBC has anywhere near the tight relationships that Fox has with the GOP.


And Fox doesn’t have any Democrats on staff that balance their reporting in an equivalent way (sorry, Kirsten Powers and Juan Williams don’t cut it). When Fox gives a former chair of the Democratic Party the air time that MSNBC gives to Steele, or when they give a three hour morning block to a liberal Democratic host (i.e. MSNBC’s conservative Joe Scarborough), then maybe Fox can talk about messaging without being so desperately hypocritical.


MSNBC Hires David Axelrod ? Fox Nation Comes Unglued | News Corpse

Are you out of your mind ? You are even comparing the balance that Fox has, with its many liberals, to the NOTHING presented on MSNBC ? You have the nerve to suggest that MSNBC is even close to being as balanced as Fox ?

Dude, there are liberals on Fox WHO HAVE THEIR OWN SHOWS (where they call the shots). Try reading the thread, before you come tumbling in here making a fool out of yourself.

FALSE! Balance does not necessarily mean equality. If a balance scale has 10 lbs on one side and 4 lbs on the other, that is better balanced than 10 lbs on one side and 1 lb on the other.

With liberals having their OWN SHOWS, that's not exactly "a single opposing voice up against three or four voices from the other side". I've seen Geraldo shows where there was a liberal invited to speak with NO conservative voice at all. On the Factor, Alan Colmes is invited with the conservative woman (forgot her name). You could say that's still 2 conservatives against one liberal, but Colmes constantly interrupts and talks over the other 2. In the end the talk time is about 50/50. On Hannity's show, when he has that bleachers thing, those seats a loaded with liberals.

Try to find anything even close to that on MSNBC.

TRUE! Balance does mean equality. When you put ten pounds on one side and 4 pounds on the other side of a scale the scale is not balanced. It is not balanced if the sides have different weights. Itas long as they are Dems, they ae considered 'liberal'? is only balanced when the weights on both sides are the same.

FALSE! You ignore the entire concept of DEGREES of balance. AS I SAID, AND SAY AGAIN, ten pounds on one side and 4 pounds on the other side of a scale is BETTER balanced that 10 and one. Getting enough sleep lately ?

FOX's motto is not "Fair and to a degree, Balanced". Nor is it "Fair and BETTER Balanced than some of the other guys".

Progressive media watch dog groups such as Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR)] and Media Matters for America, have argued that Fox News reporting contains conservative editorializing within news stories.


FAIR also asserted that in a study of a 19 week period from January 2001 to May 2001 the ratio of conservative guests to liberals on Special Report with Brit Hume was 50:6, and obtained similar data from other Fox shows

Although Rupert Murdoch did not respond to the remark directly, a spokesperson for News Corporation put a statement after a Financial Times inquiry claiming “Matthew Freud’s opinions are his own and in no way reflect the views of Rupert Murdoch, who is proud of Roger Ailes and Fox News.”

Your sources are totally BIASED JOKES with no credibility whatsoever, as you have none for referring to them. And if Brit Hume's ratio of conservative guests to liberals on Special Report was 50:6, that better than the 50:0 we would see on MSNBC, the worst, and most biased network in TV history.
