Does Fox News live up to the slogan "Fair and balanced"?
It's tough not to try to sway people...

Adding the "yes" and "in some ways/areas" categories, it's about evenly split. Should I make a poll of whoever the liberal version of Fox News is? Who is that?

MotoH said:I'll watch the view in the morning to get my dosage of extreme liberalism, and glenn beck in the afternoon to get my dose of extreme conservatism. There's no such thing as fair and balanced news.
chemisttree said:And how did that fact affect the enumeration of positive/negative stories? Does a Fox News consultant count differently? Nonsense.

Alfi said:good balance. :)
lmao - I like to watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report to get the most 'accurate' take on politics.
Char. Limit said:LOL, I do the exact same thing!
Strange how some of the most balanced news comes from a comedian.

If not, I hereby name it "Beck's/Jackson's Law".
Seriously, how many times have Glenn Beck and Jesse Jackson done that?

I think you mean "most fitting," yes?Char. Limit said:Well, going by my real name, Fitting's Law would be best...

These three are not reporters, nor do they claim to be. Their shows are opinion shows, not news programs. They say this themselves, from time to time. They do speek to the bias of the station, but are not part of the station's news coverage, for whatever that's worth.Jamin2112 said:I'm guessing this slogan applied some time before I was born. With O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, and the rest, we know how the scales are weighted. (by the way, I despise those 3 people)
