      Contrast that with the vile Terry McCauliff.
      Did you ever go to factcheck.org? It listed lie after lie about Kerry that was told by the Republican party and by the Bush Administration. This is a Republican founded organization and even they called BS on a ton of the crap Bush was shoveling.

        I find it funny that you link Fox News with the Republicans. That says a lot about what Fox is all about.

          Tingkai, there are few openly Republican hosts on Fox News. There are a few openly Democrat hosts as well.

              On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said: "Today I am going to create a land called Canada, it will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life, and rivers stocked with salmon."

              God continued, "I shall make the land rich in oil so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."

              "But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think you are being too generous to these Canadians?"

              "Not really," replied God, "just wait and see the neighbours I am going to give them."

                  I'll paraphrase Bill O'Reilly's rebuttal to Paul Krugman's (et al) charge of Republican or "conservative" bias: Greta and Colmes are liberals, Hannity is a conservative, Brit Hume is moderate to conservative, and Bill is a "traditionalist". Yup, that was Bill's BS proof of "fair and balanced".

                  Well, Greta may be a liberal but she has a legal show where they spend months talking about Scott Peterson and Kobe Bryant, not a political talk show. And Colmes? Yeah, he's a liberal but he tries to be honest. His "counterweight" - Sean Hannity - is a loudmouthed, obnoxious, half-witted conservative who is paid to lie about others and he more than earns his keep. Hume's right of center, but Bill claiming to be a traditionalist is . So Fox has a meek liberal, a legal beagle liberal, and 3 Republicans - I count that as 3 to <1...

                    In Fox's defense the vast majority of their "bias" is in opinion shows. They have less hard news than CNN, but it is probably 98% the same as CNN.

                    • Sikander: I used to think this but that's not true so much any more. In the middle of "The Factor", which is their headline news show, Bill O'Realy busts in with his opinion in just about every interview (inevitably a very conservative take which normally attempts to mischaracterize the opposition) then he cuts to commercial. In the rare event he give the other guy the last word he normally gives then 3-5 seconds to rebut O'really's 30 second monologue.

                      There is a big dose of opinion at least in the "O'Really Factor" and that's Fox's main news program and rating grabber.

                        The O'Reilly factor isn't a news show, it's commentary / faux debate. And I agree that the man is insufferable.

                          Berz, you will have to admit that the Canadians who receive nothing but Bush bashing spin are going to be shocked by FOX News. In fact, they are going to be outraged that ANYONE could challenge their insular view of the world.

                            I suppose it is hard for you understand seeing as how you think anything other than FOX News is Bush bashing spin. But you're right - we're the ones with an insular view of the world!

                              • They simply presented stories upon an important political issue. I wouldn't call that endorsing or promoting anything.
                                Was their coverage merely 'presenting' the issue, or endorsing it?

                                Did they give equal time to the opponents of gay marriage?
