Fox News Channel

Oh my God! :shock:

NBC by FAR!

The NBC News shows are solidly and unapologetically biased.

The MSNBC News hosts are like jackals! Norah O'Donnell and Keith Olberman especially...Chris Jansing is less offensive and Joe Scarborough isn't bad.

The NBC reporters are always skating toward the left and you often see them reining themselves in to keep from being ridiculously biased. David Gregory is the worst. Then Andrea Mitchell and Mika Brzezinski. Even Meet the Press host, Tim Russert is sometimes a bit one sided though he tries really hard not to be.

And if THAT weren't bad enough, the NBC TV ENTERTAINMENT SHOWS have begun editorializing and taking political opinions.

I swear I have turned off Law & Order 3 times in recent weeks because the characters expressed uninformed opinions regarding the War on Terror.

By a WIDE margin, NBC is the most biased.

FOX News!!!!

This is a difficult question. FOX is certainly the most biased, absolutetely speaking, but news networks like CNN also have done their share of wardrum beating. And considering that CNN isn't known for being a far-right newssource, the impact of their propaganda is exponentiated. In my opinion, any News Network that yahooed Bush's lies is biased beyond any measure of serious journalism and should not be taken seriously anymore.

FOX as a single channel, but CNN, NBC and PBS combined are just biased enough to beat it.

network news

FOX, CNN & MSNBC all have their bias as well but they also tend to show opposing viewpoints more so than the networks...at least it was that way about 10 years ago when I stopped watching network news as I found it incomplete, inaccurate & pretty much useless. I watch cable news because I know they all have a bias & it balances things out to watch views from both sides. FOX is clearly from the right & CNN & MSNBC is clearly from the left. Primarily it's FOX & CNN in my house.

PBS is very biased as well. Their "speaking of faith" program is a joke.

Their news is pretty solid with a slight lean to the left.

Their opinion is very much to the left.

I do believe FOX & CNN do the best at trying to be balanced as far as their coverage & opinion.

Why don't you tell us NP, what's the point of this thread, it's not even noteworthy of the bias by faux news so what are you trying to present here?

 

[Curious George]

Fixed News by far is the most biased.

Having said that, I watch MSNBC the most because I like their personalities and the discussions (with the exceptions of Abrams and Olbermann, whom I despise), and I can say for certain that MSNBC hates Hillary Clinton.

During my workout this morning I was watching the news.

FoxNews was talking about what the candidates were doing before Tuesday. They spent about 30 seconds on Romney (with video), 15 seconds on McCain's wife (with video) and as the segment was transitioning to the next they voice-overred "Obama is also in that state (same state as McCain's wife)". They never mentioned Clinton.

A 10-15 minutes later I switched to NBC and anytime the candidates were broad casted as a collective the democrats were always mentioned/listed/pictured first.

Just from some personal experience in the last day or so it seems all are guilty of bias at times.

It isn't even close - Fox News.

 

[Zyphlin]

Fox News and MSNBC on opposite sides of the spectrum easily take the cake. I think I may give the edge to Fox, but its a close one.

CNN is biased, but not nearly to the extent as the other two.

 

[americanwoman]

I would say FOX news.


I don't have a problem with any channel being biased though as long as they admit it instead of claiming not to be.

American news seem to have a problem with its idea of what objective is in general.Objective isnt presenting both sides of an arguement as if both are objectivly equal thats just lazy.Thats what annoys me most about the whole fair and balanced slogan.It seems to imply if they are talking about people who believe in fairies they will present with equal say from both sides of the debate and leave you to decide.This may not seem like a big ask but what if they are reporting on something you really have little knowledge about?

I think CNN is generally seen as the gold standard for American news over in the UK kinda like the BBC is here.Though there is a liberal bias to the BBC.

MSNBC has that complete **** on it Keith Olbermann i cannot stand him.His botox filled robot face spitting out a bunch of ad hominem attacks as if he is on somekind of pedestel of dignity.

 

[Doremus Jessup]

They're all biased, but Fox spends millions trying to make people believe that they're "Fair and Balanced". So ... yeah.:2wave:

I agree..............I personally think MSNBC is the worse and they use to be the best............As far as I can tell they only have 2 pundits that are Conservatives on any regular basis......Carlson and Buchanan and Carlson is the only one with a program...............Scarborough use to be Conservative but he has sold out to the network to keep his job.........

 

[MC.no.spin]

It's actually not even close.

MSNBC is far, far, FAR more biased than the other two. Anything they can :spin: into liberal garbage is done. Whether it is ******* on Reagan's grave, making religion seem archaic and universally corrupt, or working hard at feminating the male species, MSNBC is unhealthy for America.

I totally agree with you on Oberman,,,,,,,He has to be the most bias hateful pundit on TV...........

Do you ever watch Hannity and Colmes? First Colmes is at most a moderate. Second, Colmes get about 1/4 the air time as Hannity and when Colmes does speak it's usually from the background (not in view of the camera) and it is rarely acknowledged he is speaking. On that same not I haven't heard Colmes ever really say anything substantial so maybe there is a reason for him being ignored.

Hannity and Colmes reminds me of The News show on Family Guy. Hannity would be male anchor, the guest would be the female anchor, and Colmes is the Ollie the weather man.

YouTube - family guy the best of ollie williams weatherman

The same still applies, all networks are guilty of bias.

Check out Holmes on wikpedia.......They have a different opinion..........Colmes problem is 90% of the time he has to take the ridiculous side..........They will have a topic to debate and I will say to myself no one can disagree with that, no one can be on the other side.......Well Colmes never fails...........he is.............

Because it's his job. He also usually takes the fanatic path along with poor articulation which makes the opposing opinion look ridiculous.

My wife is as liberal as they come and I know she thinks Colmes is a moron.

All of faux news is bs and comprised of morons that simply shout louder than any other presenter on any other channel - sadly there is a audience that likes to listen to this sort of shout out.
