Geraldo Rivera - Bret Baier - Fox News and Health Care Mediaite.mp4

This video provides a classic example of the difference between Fox News and other cable news networks, specifically MSNBC. Bret Baier is a news anchor, and so when Geraldo Rivera - an opinion show host - attempted to engage Baier in a discussion about Rivera's personal opinion about ObamaCare passing, Baier took the proper non-partisan approach, discussing facts but not displaying any preference one way or another about the passing of the bill.

Contrast this with Chris Matthews hosting Presidential debates and the inaguration and getting thrills up his leg and saying it is "my job to support this president and make him successful, or Keith Olbermann making every effort to portray John McCain in a bad light during the 2008 Republican National Convention, at one time mocking McCain for "wrapping himself in the flag" as McCain gave his acceptance speech.

This is a perfect display of why Fox News is a real news network and others fail in comparison.

How refreshing to hear a Fox commentator speaking with rationality. Go Geraldo!

[jamesocon1]

Geraldo won't last on FoxLies... he'll get the boot... MSNBC will offer him a contract... wait'll ya see...

@Alvalanker lol:) I suppose it's kinda like how people take ghosts seriously...You know that some mad spirit isn't going to come and get you but you're scared anyway. Just like republicans and fox-news viewers understand that liberals arent going to destroy the world but are afraid of them anyway.

[Alvalanker]

People actually take Fox News seriously?

If Geraldo hangs around Fox much longer he may learn the truth, and finally mature to the right! I hope so, for his sake. I'd rather pray for him and hope that the truth sets him free, rather than hate him for what he is/was. That's what Christians should do. I'm rooting for him in that way. That would be the ultimate victory in my book. The biggest problem is that most of the people on the left are either insulted by the right, and tune them out, or aren't intelligent enough to see the right.

@jamesocon1 I've got $10 that says you wouldn't turn down his salary. The other guy is always greedy. Not you.

[jamesocon1]

@syghur

right... the money is everything...

[syghur]

@jamesocon1 He's been on Fox for several years already. I think he's going to stick around. He wants to be on the most popular cable news network. The pay is better.

[debunkingdebunkers]

the whole network is an opinion. in fact alot of the content in the major media is not based in fact. but I must say FOX is the most ridiculous. And those who believe them usually are not very bright.

[debunkingdebunkers]

I totally agree, I don't know who the idiots are who gave you a thumbs down. How could you not agree with that?

@sdpicoult

Far right conservatives are very consistent. They either fully admit that they have an entire news network at its service, or they pretend like FOX News is an even balance of truth in journlaism. Yes, they have opinion shows, but their 'news' team only errors on the side of conservatism.

I have never even visited the Huffington Post. I don't get caught up in Liberal VS Conservative like some sort of puppet.

@ODDMANtheone - "The entire network acted like a telethon over the past week, asking viewers to call their congressman to kill the bill."

Well, you've got your HuffPo talking points down, that's for sure.

Never did Fox's NEWS department tell people to call their congressional reps. Perhaps their opinion shows made suggestions, but those are opinion shows.
