Fair and balanced.. really?

Fox news and Newsmax (pro Mccain) are so conservative it pains me to listen to them. At the same time CNN and Politico are so insanely liberal (pro Obama) even the Clintons think they might be socialist. Is it just beyond the American Media to report the news with out choosing a side or having alterior motives?

    The news media doesn't exist any longer. I think Fox is more accurate and less biased than the others in reporting the actual news.

    FOX news appears to be conservative.....but in actuality they are not..... It is the absence of conservatives in the other outlets that make the appear Conservative by comparison.

    YES they have strong conservative people on FOX but they also have Liberals.....

    When they have a discussion they have people from BOTH sides.....

    Is it "fair and balanced" ?.... At one time I was disappointed in Combs.... he was too weak.... but the last few months he has picked up the gauntlet..... he is doing better than Hannity in carrying the argument .... Hannity keeps mumbling the same inane talking points.... he should do less harping / ranting and do more research.

    CNN, BBC and most of the alphabet news is agonizingly liberal.... PBS is the worst....Bill Moyers does not even try to hide his bias....

    I the last 360 HOURS of evening news....ABC has only devoted 8 MINUTES to Iraq..... I guess our winning the war is not news but our losing was ???? Two independent non-partisan agencies issued seperate reports that the bulk of the media is LIBERAL.... ( like we did not know that)

    Want to know why it is this way? Want to know what we can do to correct the problem/ email me
