Funny but I think you just described the left perfectly... that rant and rail against Fox but refuse to acknowledge the left-wing biases of CNNMSNBCBSABCTimeWarnerNewsweekNYTimesBostonGlobe, etc, etc... Now I haven't read all the posts in this thread, but who in here has denied Fox leans right..? I am the first to admit that Fox leans to the right (and I think my post about the "democratic debate on Fox" went over your head but that's besides the point). But Fox is less biased than most of those organizations I just listed...

But seriously... who in here has ever denied Fox leans rightward...?

who said it was in this thread? I too haven't read the whole of every post but I have seen the same discussion on a number of boards and there are people on the right who deny Fox is biased. Just as there people on the left that deny bias in say CNN. Which is what I acknowledge in my thread.

Or did that go over your head?

As for the post on democratic debate yeah I saw it and I quoted in one of my previous responses. I thought that you were having a dig at CNN.

To be honest I rarely watch either of CNN or Fox.

Yes, they absolutely do. What happens most of the time is that people from one side of the isle will instictively think that the differing station/source is more biased. To a person right of center, FOX is the truth teller, while CNN is the slant, whereas, for someone left of center is the opposite. It's no different than your view of yout favorite sports team, versus the views of a fan of another. People tend to view what they agree with, or like, in a different manner than that which they don't. It's natural to do that.

Good, thats why we need to hear "the whole story", it's the Left Wing that wants to "Censor" and the more jealous and hateful they become the more they show their Bias, (Coulter Pie Face) (Reid letter to Limbaugh) (Pelosi gang trying to destroy Talk Radio) it isn't the Conservatives that are throwing Pies and writing nasty letters it's the Sore Losing Hateful Far Left Wing.
