So media is biased but in this election even Fox couldn't bring themselves to wholeheartedly support a Republican. I love it.

Still doesn't mean they are telling the truth, just that they are saying good and bad things equally.

Remember when the new reported on things that were happening, offering you the facts and information to make your own decision?

No. News has always been this biased. It was slanted and in the days of Murrow and Cronkite and Woodward; and it's slanted now. The difference now is we have more choices to cross-reference what the tv tells us.

However, I agree that the news has changed to become more sensationalist than before. After Watergate, the news started focusing on scandals (and sometimes fabricating them) more and more. They've gotten much more competitive in recent years, and it's the scandals that sells. It's just a big circus of ratings-grabbing.

I wish there were someplace I could go to get news that contained only facts. No interpretation, no slant or opinion or commentary. Just bare-bones articles with numbers and summaries. Kinda like wikinews but with tighter constraints on the content.

FOX fair and balanced? HA! And again I say HA!

Your Dem-o-cat drone brains are so muddled from liberal synaptic misfires you find it impossible to put your head around a factual study and embrace the kind and good, fair and balanced, FOX News Channel...

You are kidding, right? I can't tell.

In other news, hell has officially frozen over.

I get all my news from the internet so it must be true!

So you guys actually watch FOX News. Well, if you are informed enough to make an opinion about it, you must watch it on a regular basis. I have no idea if it is balanced or not. Last time I watched it, this is in 1999, it was as balanced as yo'momma's balanced meal: a ham in each hand.

Well, of course they're balanced. It says so right in their slogan - 'Fair and Balanced', so they've got to be both fair and balanced, right?

Wow... that almost hurt to type.

So, I guess FOX has just forgotten about Ron Paul accidentally, right?

The thing this survey doesn't take into account is the amount of negativity in each article.
I don't know how you could judge that though...

It's funny. I read this a few days ago, and was waiting to see if someone posted it.

Seems to me, study or no study, there are a lot of people who've made up their minds... even without watching the network, even without reading the study, even without considering any evidence.

The negative comments are so predictable. Sadly, however, they don't actually attack the study itself (which is flawed), but rather the results of the study. This study's got problems... but stamping your feet and going, "Nuh-uh," doesn't strike me as a well thought out refutation.

I watch FOX news solely for its comic value.

(Bill O'Reilly is the most reliable source of crass nonsense.) and that is a no-spin fact!

Then it saddens me to realize that there are those out there who wholeheartedly buy into the crap Fox News spews onto us.

The end.
