because Fox News is so fair and balanced,why would some people lie and say ithey are  not honest?

Because they don't work for Fox like you do; they see the truth and have nothing over their heads to be outspoken about it.

Fox News is less biased than any other network.  I will say that Bill O'Reilly was so obvious in his republican stance last night.  I'm not used to that.  \n\nRegarding the network news:  Have you ever heard anything like "you may be eating poision for dinner.  Tune in at 11"?  It's all about ratings.  The Today Show was reporting on Secy Rumsfield and then said "other breaking news, Brittney Spears is getting a divorce".  WHO THE **** CARES!  It's all about ratings, not about the news.  \n\nYes, Fox is big on ratings too.  But, they are so much less obvious about it, and they are better at reporting the news, rather than the gossip.

Not the mainstream media they are liberal and think any thing a liberal does is okay. Go to Fox News they tell it like it is whether it is a lib or a Republican.

The news (except Fox) is typically liberal.  And besides, what would sell better: "Water is healthy" or "Water can kill."

With the question you ask you did what the american media has been doing. With the use of the term "liberal" you just set the pace for both side to get emotional. That is one bias question. You sound just like FOX news that sway one way more than the other. \n\nYES! The american media plays with the emotions of the american public. They use their availability to the public to impress their views heavily on the american public.

The media is owned by liberals and there agenda is to change America into a socialist country, so they only show what would help their cause, The big wigs that own the news media are Democratic liberals, they also own all of the newspaper media so that's why the newspapers are slanted also. So most of the time you can't believe what you see on TV or read in the papers, you have to remember there is probably another side to the story, the side they don't want you to see, and you witnessed this process so be where. Thanks for telling us.

CNN and Fox often take very different positions. Fox is one of the few mainstream media institutions that isn't dominated by liberals.

That's a pretty odd definition of "truth" you have there. If you really believe that everything you see on television is the truth I suggest that you turn off the television and start reading so books or some accounts done by people who are actually at the places where the news happens.\n\nI've got some news for you ... all the major news networks ARE biased and they all slant the truth to suit their own purposes. For example, do you think they're more likely to get viewers with a story about how well things are going in Iraq or by telling you that the whole place is freaked out? The answer is obvious, they actually did get you to watch by telling you a slanted truth.\n\nOf course there's problems in Iraq, there were WAY MORE problems in the beginning of the USA than there are in Iraq and if you think that there is no good news at all you've only managed to be brain-washed enough to become a life long customer of the crap coming out of the major media.

Media is in bed with Liberal agenda, that's no secret. The average American has no idea what a real war is and most do not have th stomach to see one through. They do not want to think about bad things and have "their" petty little lives disturbed by anything hard. They do not want to commit the brain power into researching for themselves to find the truth they would rather listen to the "experts" on CNN, NBC, ABC who's only purpose is to make money and to entertain not to report the truth.

It makes them feel better when they give some sort of smart ass answer. They are obviously not politically minded, they probably don't watch the news with any sense of agenda. They watch it and take no time to understand what they are watching. They like to make quick judgements on what they thing other people should think and have no clue as how to debate or ponder these question further than their noses.\nIt is sad. I believe that if people actually researched what they read and not just believed everything that was said on TV or by their peers then this world would be a much better place.

Yah by all means lets keep this lie going. I don't think everyone has heard it yet\n There is no liberal media bias. This is one of the BIG LIES told to keep people from questioning our government.

OMG NO!!!! Mainstream media, be they normally associated as left or right, are a bunch of non informed idiots. \n\nLiars! They are ALL liars! :) They spin it just like the next politician. \n\nPeople please, do not rely on one news source. There are three sides to every story; you side, my side and the truth. \n\nthe moral is, read as much as you can about any given situation from different sources, and draw your own conclusion.\n\n**Believe 1% of what your mother tells you and nothing anyone else tells you.

Fox news presents biased opinion masqerading as news.  It is extremely popular with rank and file republicans.  I'm assuming they find it quite soothing when their brains get tired from hearing the facts.  There are hundreds of documented examples of right-wing bias on Fox News (sometimes called Faux news).  Check the website and see for yourself!

I would imagine that in any country, human nature always prevails, meaning, some people lie and some tell the truth, but I don't think anyone tells the truth 100% of the time.  People like to make things sound good from their perspective.

A lot of people don't watch the news... a lot of people are pissed when the President's comments come on during their tv show... \n\nthe majority of these people clearly don't care...they just think it's their duty to vote and they don't want to vote for a "flip-flopper"... and that's about as far into the issues that they go... name calling works with these people and it's a major reason that Bush won in the first place...\n\nYou only have two reasons that you support Bush right now if you ask me... ignorance or you're wealthy... if you voted for him based on morals and you still support him.. hahaha... you haven't been paying attention\n\nYou also have a small contingent that only listens to conservative news stations that are clearly slanted... apparently they believe what they hear is the truth, as long as it supports what they think? It's really sad if you ask me... there is 10 times more opinion in fox news stories and interviews than any other station out there... it's a joke...
