Did someone say FOX News was biased?

I don't even mind Cronkite's opinions about Vietnam. When such an immoral, unjust, and terribly wrong action occurs by a Democratic nation, it would be wrong to try and not express your opinions about it.

How is that not a double standard?

Sure it's a double standard. I never professed to be better than anyone else in that regard.

All these 24 hour "news" stations with the possible exception of "Headline News" (I don't watch enough to know) are ~90% commentary/debate and ~10% actual news. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox have a bunch of talking head shows because their ratings would suck if all they did was repeat news stories over and over all day long. CNN is the most liberal, MSNBC tries to have some balance and Fox leans to the right of both, but as far as I'm concerned, they're all left wing outlets. The "debate" on these shows is not about limiting the fed to it's constitutional limits, but about how much more and faster we should embrace socialist and quasi-socialist policies.

Uh WOW! Anyone who views Fox news as liberal is so far out there I don't even know what to think. Are you basicly in favor of abolishing taxation and the government? What's scary is you don't even seem to recognize that your position is extreme.

My opinion:


CBS: Liberal
ABC: Liberal
BBC: Liberal
CNN: Moderate
NBC: Moderate
FOX: Conservative
US Public Radio: Depends on state, Minnesota Public Radio is liberal.

Zippergate was a much better description.

Since when, exactly, did describing people who disagree with the administration as "sickening" become reasoned, principled political opinion, as opposed to mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, uber-jingoistic horse****?

First off, Mr. Krugman, let me correct you: I'm a host and a commentator..."

From Fox News bios:
"Neil Cavuto was named anchor and managing editor of business news for the Fox News Channel in July 1996."

Obviously.

Uh WOW! Did I say Fox was liberal or that government should be abolished? I said these "news" stations were left and that Fox was to the right of CNN and MSNBC. They are left and liberalism is just one ideology on the left, I never see any of these stations advocating a return to the Constitution, they ALL consistently push for increases in federal control over our lives, they just don't all agree on which increases we need. When was the last time any of these stations seriously promoted the notion that the New Deal or Great Society should be repealed? All we get from them is fine tuning, i.e., "reforming" current big government programs. Btw, I'm well aware my views are "extreme" and that most people are far to my left, so unless you can actually quote me saying I thought my views were "mainstream", maybe you should stick with what I've said instead of fabricating strawmen.

I bet if Cavuto and Krugman got in a fight, Cavuto would kick his ass, whellchair or not .

Don't mind him. He thinks anyone to the left of him economically (ie, just about everyone) is a liberal.

Not sure, those eyes look kind of scary.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Were Dan Rather or Tom Brokaw given segments in which to espouse their own political views, do you think that would be a reasonable way of presenting information to the public?

Well don't they? I mean, NBC News' "Fleecing of America" really approaches editorial work, but under the guise of 'news'.

while cavuto looks like a bit of *****...
but he is younger...

More people are watching FOX than are watching CNN.
