Your board persona is starting to remind me of Fordama on TOB. Pleases don't assume what I think when I express disappointment in something you state. We all know you hate Trump and express the same for the opinion show commentators on Fox. You should try watching some of their news shows and I think you'd change your mind about Fox.
I don't have a lot of choices in support for my type of values and Fox is the best source right now.

But duke, you have to realize that your are looking at Fox and the legacy media with whatever colored glasses you are wearing. Everyone does it, so it's not surprising that you would find Fox less biased. Confirmation bias is a powerful thing and almost impossible to avoid. I absolutely disagree with you. You are basically saying that everyone is stupid and cannot use logic, reasoning and intelligence to form their beliefs and opinions, which is bizarre. |

That's absolutely not what I'm saying. I'm saying that everyone has biases, political and otherwise, and recognizing them and adjusting perceptions for them is important. Yes, there are stupid people on both sides who can't seem to do that, who only see their side as honest and fairminded while the other side is lying or covering up. It's unfortunate that those people often win the field of battle, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Why doesn't the MSM cover this? I think they - along with many other corporations in the US - car controlled by the CCP.
What did the media and DNC claim about Trump? Collusion with Russia. That was misinformation. But the Hunter hard drive and iPhone are real. They are in collusion with China. Biden is still selling us out to the CCP.

Come on, billb, let's be honest. Fox is just as biased as CNN and the network news. It's just that they are biased in the direction you prefer. In what way is FOX biased? How about some examples? |

In your original post you said Fox is JUST AS :BIASED. I strongly disagree with you.Exactly. So I have to assume you wear Fox-colored glasses. We all wear one color or another. I don't watch Fox News, but I've heard enough of O'Reilly, Hannity, Tucker and others to know the coverage is one-sided as hell. Please give some examples of FOX's one-sided coverage? How do you know if you don't watch it? |

No thanks, Oakley, I won't play that game. You have to look no further than their coverage of Donald Trump over the past six years, when they have alternately covered him like the second coming of Jesus Christ, or some impish little rapscallion that you can't help but love despite the mischief he continually gets into. He is arguably the one person most responsible for handing the U.S. Senate to the Democrats when he torpedoed the two GOP candidates in Georgia by badmouthing the state, the governor, the secretary of state and the attorney general because he was petulant about his own loss. Fox has never called him to task for doing that, and that seems pretty biased to me. |

Please knock it off. Trump, with all of his warts, would still be better than the corrupt Biden Administration. Please refrain from your constant condescending attitude towards those of us who voted to defend our values and not for what was due to come with Biden. Instead, you act like you're better than us because of your hatred towards Trump. I voted for what he accomplished, not for his personality, and you should have too! Same with Fox. It's the best that I have a network which stands up the closest to my values. You continue to talk like you'd join Liz Cheney on the Jan. 6th committee!

You make a valid point. I'll get back to media bias.

I think if we're being objective here, Fox has a history of pretty clear bias towards the GOP in their reporting, and is rarely critical of Trump.
I don't think they're anywhere near the bias shown by the other "news" outlets that have a clear bias towards all things left, but objectivity isn't what news outlets sell anymore, right?

It's tough to have a discussion on bias unless we get into specifics.

Fair point, but I always thought it was a foregone conclusion.
Let's both see if we can find any criticisms of Trump or unfair criticisms of the left on Fox, and see where the chips fall.
I'm open to the possibility Fox is unbiased.
