Race baiting in Fox? So they were the ones who said that socialism is code for the new n word?

This is fucking awesome. Fuck MSLSD and that retarded schmuck that called in.

Archbishop Charles Chaput -- "We make a very serious mistake if we rely on media like the New York Times, Newsweek, CNN, or MSNBC for reliable news about religion. These news media simply don’t provide trustworthy information about religious faith — and sometimes they can’t provide it, either because of limited resources or because of their own editorial prejudices.”

If you can't believe these sources about religion, then doesn't that color everything they publish?

Well said.

@Tyco200 There are layers to this. Fox was much needed when it was formed. I can understand the burden it carries individually to support that side of the spectrum. That caused them to choose a more extreme methodology to get their message out. I think they often go too far .That "fair and balanced" slogan that they used is laughable. It's anything but. Ideally, I wish there were rational right-biased channels to truly even things out. Then the "extremes" (namely Fox & MSNBC) could lighten up.

[emmettk]

Here's the truth that everybody should be able to agree on but probably won't. Most news channels show a liberal bias. Fox filled a needed role to provide news with a conservative bias. Because they are outnumbered, they feel they have to be more forceful in their bias to "balance things out". Having the right-wing market cornered made it a ratings hit. MSNBC fashioned itself as the "anti-fox" and became almost a Fox News mirror-image. Fact- BOTH SIDES LIE. Yes, even the side YOU agree with.

[Tyco200]

Fox News is very biased, but does it compare to all the liberal shit headed medias? Msnbc, CNN, CBS, The NY Times and NRC... :P

@fastard154 Had to steal you line for my FB status. :D

[ChargersFan08]

lets see, shep smith, juan williams, alan colmes, bob beckle, are all liberals on fox. Who's MSNBC's conservative? Joe "fair weather" Scarborough?

@fastard154

Hey, how about you read the recent memos that have leaked?

@dohboy200 Unless you are one of the many leftists that consider all left-wing views short of communism "center" or "center-left," then you need to explain which positions they have argued that are centrist. Juan Williams believes that rap is harmful to black culture, but aside from that I cannot think of any right-wing views he holds. Alan Colmes holds only left-wing views from what I have heard, but maybe I am mistaken.

[dohboy200]

@Protege385

Many actually. Most people fall into the category of center, whether its center left or right. Its a matter of 'common sense' conservatism and liberalism. Maybe Colmes is more left wing than others, but any opinion more liberalized than the ultra right wing group of heads they currently have is amplified. I have seen many talking points from those two (particularly Williams) that is both left and right wing
