When Bernie Goldberg wrote his best seller book titled "Bias" CBS wanted him shot dead, the NY Times said he should go to jail for life, Dan Rather had to be sedated, he was banned from all the "Lefty Looney Kocktail Partys" Oh Jesus.

Does this contrast with the previous thread about how there are about 90 to 10% conservative radio stations across this country???..

It's a little different because Liberals have tried to start their own talk radio shows/networks, they just generally fail. Whereas with TV the Republicans finally get a foot in the door (Fox News), it is wildly successful then criticized for being Conservative.

He is no longer the president there but I do believe he still draws a taxpayer funded, 6-figure pension.... I may be mistaken about that though...

Fox news programs are not right leaning. Shep Smith is straight down the line.

Yes, they have O'Rielly which is not a news program and he is right leaning but not "far right". They have Hannity and Colmbs one far right and one far left. The have Greta who is a Dem and married to a former Clinton Admin official.

Gibson is right, Cavuto is pretty middle. Britt Hume is somewhat conservative but not far right. So the commentary shows do lean a little right but the hard news programs do not.

The thing must people don't understand is that the face that they see is not that important. It's the directors and most importantly the producers that decide what goes on. If there were a survey of those people who work for the 5 major news outlets, I would bet 85% would be lefties.

So the Fox News Network may lean a little right in total but it is countered by MSNBC, CNN, and the 3 "major networks" who are left leaning.

Take all your liberal slop and see how many articles are written for the other side.

Taming down the rhetoric from overtly partisan to suggestively partisan does not make a reporter balanced.
Just look at Amnesty BF, how's that reported on the news?

PAtters is the most partisan hack in this entire forum. Of course he thinks they report "objectively" in the news That's cuz they write leftist slant virtually all of the time.

You need look no further than the immigration issue to see how slanted, and bias, our media is.

So it gives you the idea of the kind of monopoly the Left wants to have in America, when the entire Democrat field of candidates decides it will boycott Fox. This has all the hallmarks of a totalitarian one-party state scheme. Not something to pooh-pooh.
