Inspired by NAT: What news channels do you watch?
So NAT said not everything on the news is correct. Now I have to agree with him, but as we may know there has been debates about this in the past year (Most notably FOX vs. everyone else). I want to discuss the FOX issue. When this had just started up, I saw an article (I can't find it now, but it was on MSNBC's website) saying that FOX was not to be trusted because they were biased (they said that conservatives run the thing). In this article they had and example which showed their bias (besides the fact that saying one news station is biased also says you have an agenda aka being biased). This example was that (not a direct quote since i dont have the article but close to it) "During the 2008 election, NBC was more pro Obama and criticized McCain. FOX about equally criticized Obama and McCain." Now if you say "ohh that's not true, all the people on FOX are conservatives", remember that Geraldo (of Geraldo At Large) is pro Obama. Now I just wanted to bring this up, but not because I associate myself with Conservatives (which I dont) but I feel this liberal vs conservative stuff is actually pretty stupid if you look at it from the outside, and fortunately/unfortunately, I say the "Conservative" FOX News looks more "Fair and Balanced" than other news programs
