My facts were perfectly straight. Thanks for checking though.That's all other "cable" networks, Faun...get your facts straight!Fox is a cable news network... who did you think I was referring to when I boxed their competitors in with, "their competitors?"![]()
Because ABC,CBS, NBC are all network news which combined have more fewer then the "fair and balanced" Fox. I used that term because see unlike
the rest of the biased media for the most part Fox is a journalistic professional group versus the above mentioned networks that and again facts support my
point:
The MSM in 2008 over 85% of media donated money to Democrats!
1,160 (85%) of the 1,353 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
Plus here you have a "professional journalist"???
This same MSM that LOVES Obama so much that here in the words of a MSM publication says it all!
The Editor of NewsWeek, Evan Thomas was once asked about George Bush and this is his response.
"our job is to bash the president[Bush], 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.He-Could-Go-All-The-Way: 'Today' Cheers Obama's Football Play
RIGHT HIS job was to BASH Bush. He is a journalist. Unbiased. Objective. Professional. RIGHT??
But when it came to Obama???
This same hard-nosed "bashing journalist- Editor of NewsWeek gushed about Obama.....
"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."
Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’
A professional NEWS editor calling a mortal man "sort of God"??? That's not reporting, that's gushing!
So again tell me the MSM is not biased?
