Discussion»Questions»Television and Movies» "FAIR AND BALANCED" was the slogan for Fox News. It was a joke. They are partisan just like MSNBC. Is fair and balanced attainable? How?
They are the most fair and balanced reporting news. They lean to the right in commentary. It's no secret. They say that often. But they report news, unlike all of the other cable and broadcast TV news outlets. Only one Fox news reporter was ever suspect (in my opinion) and he is gone; has been gone a long time.
I don't watch any TV news and won't until the election is over.
MSNBC reports the entire story. They don't take SIDES. They report what each person says. FOX? Fox starts out with a lie and keeps making it bigger and keeps it on the side of the lie the entire time.
I don't need to site. Just turn on the TV they do it all day and night. I went to a church that my mom went to to pray for her and the priest was blabbing about Fox news during the ceremony. You people don't know the brainwashing that is in place in your heads when this is allowed.
People can and will continue to argue the merits of the reporting of their preferred news source. What each watches/reads is their personal choice.
When a local happening was reported widely in the national news, I compared all the major sources. As it was something I had followed locally for years and that I had investigated far beyond local news reports, I felt I had a pretty good handle on the facts.
What I found was that none reported it without putting their spin on it. Additionally, each left out pertinent facts that tended to go against their bias. Some just alluded to untruths, while others flat out lied. Not a single one got it right.
For the record, I compared my local news, the Detroit Free Press, Crain's Detroit Business, Huffpo, Wapo, several other papers, as well as CNN, MSNBC, FOX and NPR.
