To liberals, Fox News slants toward conservatives because they see conservatives getting to express an opinion now and then. The best example of this attitude is Buckley's “Firing Line” which was considered “conservative” even though liberals got 50% of the time to talk.

And one more thing. To minimize the audience but still be able to claim a “conservative” show, the Los Angeles PBS station KCET aired “Firing Line” at 4pm on Saturday afternoons when most people were busy with household and familial activities. Only dedicated conservative viewers were likely to make a point of viewing it in that time slot.

Larry, another good inciteful article. Why liberals that wildly claim to be all about fairness and equality just can't handle a station that doesn't follow their beliefs. Call it hate speech they you can justify not counting it as free speech and try to stop it.

It should be obvious to any objective viewer that the Acorn crackheads were hired to wield the manufactured signs declaring Fox racist.

It's like the standard is that Fox must prove its purity while others don't have to. I'm dissappointed with the analysis I get from everywhere but Fox is far less bad at analysis and opinion than anyone else. If there are uncomplimentary things to be said about politicians, somebody ought to be saying them. The press is supposed to hold their feet to the flame after all. That goes with the job of leadership in a democracy. Get over Mr. President! We can't worship you all the time.

Fox news should be supported vs any Government opposition. But Fox News has its problems.
Here are 2 examples:
According to an extensive report in the New York Times, this man (Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News) has “flattered Communist Party leaders and done business with their children,” met repeatedly with senior members of the communist Politburo, “cooperates closely” with communist censors and propaganda networks, and “cultivates political ties” with communists in the hope that they will “insulate his business ventures.” Not only that, but he “often supports the policies” of communist leaders and “attacks their critics.”
Its actually worse than that – if you search the internet you'll see what I mean. Then there is example #2: here's a portion from a Debbie Shlussel (conservative commentator) article:
September 3, 2009, – 1:05 pm
“I also told you about Prince AlWaleed’s bragging that when FOX News reported on the perennial Muslim riots in France, he called Rupert Murdoch, demanding the word “Muslim” be removed. A half hour later, FOX News was calling these Muslim riots “civilian” riots, with the word Muslim nowhere to be found or heard. This is why I routinely refer to FOX News by it’s real name, PAWNN–the Prince Al-Waleed News Network. “
I like Fox News, and I read the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal (also now owned by Murdoch), but its important to realize that we have to diversify our sources of information, due to problems above mentioned.
