In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

I understand that the cable news outlets have to be entertaining in order to draw viewers, which means bias is going to be there. What I have an issue with is the the bias that's presented in the straight, hard news broadcasts.

It is possible and would not be difficult for the networks to present the news nearly bias free, and/or from a politically balanced perspective. The first step is the hardest and in the case of the big 3 (CBS, NBC and ABC) a seemingly impossible one. They have to acknowledge they have a political bias. If they could do that, fixing it would be easy.

Let me guess, you think Fox News is not biased at all right?

Point being they are ALL biased including your precious Fox News.
 
News outlets, at one time, would give many POVs using factual information. You got to see the POV from business, workers, consumers etc....but by in large it is only the business POV you get now. Facts may be correct but that does not mean that all people involved will have the same effects from a policy. Gawd forbid any outlet presents something outside the corporate viewpoint. Bias, hell yes but we badly need all POV with factual information.

No, point being that all you are interested in doing is attacking Fox News, not discussing what I wrote.

Yes, we know you love to bash just liberal media. Yes, you quoted as saying the liberal media like NBC were all biased, but said NOTHING about Fox News. Are you afraid to look like a hack? I'm guessing you are. Now, go run away and hide son.

Here's my post... And here are the facts...

I didn't "bash" any media outlet.
They are biased and you yourself just called them the "Liberal" media, which itself is an admission from you of their bias.
My comment was directed at network news coverage, because they are by far the most watched (10 to 1 over Fox's Special Report), therefore the most influential.

So why don't you go run and hide, instead of avoiding what I posted and looking like a partisan fool in doing so.
