To think that any news source is fair and balanced is absurd.
Sure, Fox news is not fair and balanced, but it sure beats 24 hour news coverage of flight 370 that CNN covers.
The bottom line is that they are there to sell soap, as well as a political agenda.

Explain to me how THIS doesn't influence what you read/see???
When 1,160 (85%) of the Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democrats candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | The Daily Caller
Do you think these people would then - write anything NEGATIVE about a Democrat/Obama when 85% of the GAVE to the Democrats?
Do you think these people would then write anything POSITIVE about a GOP when 85% gave to Democrats?
Do you think that NewsWeek would write anything negative about Obama when it came to Bush it was:
Evan Thomas Editor of NewsWeek's quotes Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,
February 2, 2007.Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters
MSM Job to Bash the President..."
..........But when it comes to Obama ... any bashing here???
COLOR="Blue"]I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God." [/COLOR]
Evan Thomas on Hardball, Newsweek?s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ?Sort of God? | NewsBusters
Another study found that ABC News had aired 55 positive stories on Obama's health-care policy compared to just 18 negative stories.
(Source: Business and Media Institute - Jun 2009) Interesting isn't that 73% of these Obama care stories are positive... )
FACT is the MSM is so biased most intelligent/informed Americans have this response to the question:
Only one-quarter of those surveyed say news orgs get the facts right, a new low since 1985 when the question was first asked.
Two-thirds (66 percent) say stories are often inaccurate, a new high.
And nearly three-quarters of Americans believe that journalists try to cover up their mistakes, rather than admit them.
http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/...cans-say-press-cant-get-their-facts-straight/
the Gallup poll details that only 23% of viewers actually trust the mainstream media television news.
Gallup Poll: Virtually No One Trusts the Mainstream Media
So tell me where other then Fox are you getting "fair and balanced"???

Did anyone else notice that he doesn't have a single link to back up anything he claimed?
How come you never talk about MSNBC? Or the way CNN has, somehow, not even mentioned the fact that California State Senator Leland Yee was indicted on gun running and racketeering charges? Is it because you are a hack?

Actually MSM is the range you are talking about. Fox News doesn't have that range, they just tell people they do.
Fox News and MSNBC are almost exactly alike except MSNBC state's it's, "Left wing political talk" and Fox News states it's "Fair and balanced" In fact, I'd like for you to show me where MSNBC ever stated they are news. Perhaps I'll change my views.

If you are un-bias enough, you would actually study the topic.
A record number of Christians are becoming Leftists today.
Guess you were "too fast to speak"
James1:19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry (SLOW TO BECOME ANGRY. SEEN FOX NEWS LATELY? STILL THINK IM LEFT WING BIAS OR CHRISTIAN BIAS?)

^ A Liberal using gafs to ensure the population doesn't educate themselves on the Liberal Corruption of Politics and Government. He/She believes Liberal profit is the only way in America. Much like the Islamists that built and worshiped the golden calf when Moses was away.

So Faux reported on NOTHING but the plane disappearing? Ummm, no. MSNBC reported on the plane, on Bridgegate, on some different people that got arrested for different things, on likely republican contenders in 2016, on the likely outcome of the elections this November, on anti-abortion bills, on the ACA, and Racheal Maddow showed us how to mix a drink.

Guess you haven't read rules for radicals, that's Alinski's play book to a T.
Anyone wanting to know more about American media should read this:
These five huge corporations — Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch’s News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) — own most of the newspapers, magazines, books, radio and TV stations, and movie studios of the United States.
These Big Five (with General Electric’s NBC a close sixth) do not manufacture automobiles, or clothing, or nuts and bolts. They manufacture politics and social values. The media conglomerates have been a major force in creating conservative and far right politics in the country. They have almost single-handedly as a group, in their radio and television dominance, produced a coarse and vulgar culture that celebrates the most demeaning characteristics in the human psyche — greed, deceit, and cheating as a legitimate way to win (as in the various “reality” shows).
It is not just national economics that is at stake — though their power has led to the government’s somnolence of anti-trust action. Nor is it just the neglect of broadcast media giantism by the government agencies that by law are still required to operate “in the public interest.” The public interest is to have the country’s largest broadcasting system in the world provide diversity in news, opinion, and commentary that serves all Americans, right, left, and independent, as well as access to their local stations as well as true choices in national programs.
What is at stake is American democracy itself. A country without all the significant news, points of view, and information its citizens need to be informed voters is risking the loss of democratic rights. Voters without genuine choices and without the information they need to choose what meets their own needs and wishes has produced something alarming: on Election Day our voters are forced to vote for what is the narrowest political choices among all industrial democracies of the world.
