Too much time is wasted arguing about "whether" this channel or that one "has an agenda". Now hear this- THERE"S NOTHING ILLEGAL OR EVEN IMMORAL about "having an agenda". What sets Fox News apart from the others is it's willingness to "misrepresent it's agenda with blatant lies, distortion and propaganda". The ultimate in false advertising and consumer fraud is their slogan of many years; "Fair and Balanced".

Please read my first comment to you :P I said there that they are biased. My point was that it's ridiculous to compare Fox News to TYT. So what if he's a journalist? He's still a talk-show host. He DOES have journalistic integrity in the sense that he doesn't PURPOSELY withold information. He's not COMPLETELY neutral but at least they TRY to be and they even admit that sometimes they don't do a good job of it. Again, you fail to see the main point, which is that fox news has an AGENDA.

@darkprincess1012 So you agree then that they are biased? Cenk is a journalist who has often been outspoken about journalistic integrity and neutrality.

"fair and balanced", TYT readily admits their liberal bias, but still tries to report the news to the best of their ability (which I will also agree really isn't that great) and doesn't even claim to be fair and balanced, and only gives their OPINION on the matters. Further more, TYT has no OBLIGATION to even be fair and balanced since they aren't even a news show, they're a talk show.

And you apparently don't know the difference between having a liberal bias and a liberal AGENDA. While I readily admit TYT is biased and OBVIOUSLY liberal (really, this doesn't need to be "proven" , its an admitted fact), they don't have a liberal AGENDA or propaganda like Fox News. It is wrong to compare the two. Fox News PURPOSELY withholds certain information, reframes their news, stir up contraversy, and almost ALWAYS only critisizse the left-wing and says repeatedly they are

@darkprincess1012 Well, this video is evidence. They explicitly state themselves that they are liberal. Nearly every video they do is left leaning and almost always attacking right wing figures or ideals. Cenk is admittedly "Agnostic", though this is a misunderstanding of the word and what he really is is Atheist which is more of a left, progressive ideology.. My previous comment was a throw away personal comment, and I had no idea that I was in a formal debate :)

@TacticalHub I like how you just say your point and have nothing to expand upon or evidence to support it. "trust me" Hmm...since I watch both TYT daily AND fox news, I dont think I will trust YOU to tell me what I should think.

@darkprincess1012 Trust me, I am a liberal and if I was an american I would be voting democrat but TYT are way more biased than fox news.

[darkprincess1012]

@TacticalHub Although the TYT are mainly liberal, they arent like fox where they make up facts or present them in such a way to promote an agenda. TYT goes after liberals and democrats too. Although, I do agree they are sometimes hypocritcal and may be biased, but its not done on purpose, its just the side-affect of any human being having a belief.
