On a side note, print and radio news seem to maintain the most objectivity. | ||

I'd be just as upset if Americans trusted MSNBC to the same extent. MSNBC gives a former Republican member of congress his own show and has a former Republican and Reform Party presidential candidate as a prominent contributor. Please don't use dishonest false equivalency fallacies. When liberals criticize Obama, MSNBC trots out people like Chris Matthews to call them loony whackjobs. When fat old people with misspelled signs and rascals take public transportation into DC to whine about taxes, Fox calls them "Fox News Tax Day Tea Parties" and advertises them as a legitimate political movement. | ||

I realize that Fox News wouldn't give a liberal a television show under any circumstances, and I realize that MSNBC is less biased than Fox News, but overall they are a liberal network and overall fox is a conservative network. | ||

Actual conservatives are going to hate Obama no matter what he does and most people who voted for Obama have no reason to approve of him when he's enacted more of McCain's campaign promises than his own. | ||

Here let me draw a picture of your false equivalency fallacy for you since you don't seem to realize it yet even though the first two thirds of your sentence seemed to [liberal]------------[MSNBC]-----[center]---------------------------[Fox][conservative] Please stop acting like both sides are equally bad, reality is not an episode of South Park. | ||

It's true though, and relevant. Fox portrays Obama as a dangerous leftist even when he advocates for the same policies he campaigned against in 2008 ("surge" in Afghanistan, keeping Gitmo open, spending freeze). Since they are able to call what a year and a half ago were Republican policies "dangerously leftist", they (with Obama's generous help) are able to move the "center" of American politics that much further to the right. | ||

Polls that disclose their methodologies are more accurate and relevant than ever. Are you arguing that scientific progress in the field of statistics has gone backwards? | ||

And, this is just me speaking, I think that most of the people who voted "yes" don't really have that much of a say in anything. Fox can just tell all of them what to think about, and some of them what to think. | ||

I mean the camera and the lighting and the photographer instructing him on how to poser. It's pretty obvious.. but I guess some people only see what they want to.. | ||

Thank you. I don't know how some people actually believe in fox.. it honestly makes me want to buy + Show Spoiler + a 22 and CAP MA SELF IN THA HEAD GEE.
