    How can you blame Fox as being evil. Just tune into this channel for five minutes and watch the horrible disgusting way they are treating the republican candidates. If you don't like republicans that's fine but the vile stuff spewing out of their mouths is just horrendous and uncalled for.

    I doubt you're going to get any sympathy from this forum because 90% of the people here hold Fox New in contempt. The hatemongering, slander, lies and fabrication to tear these people down are justified in the eyes of liberals here.

    It just shows how hypocritical these SOBs are.

    Fox may be skewed towards republicans but the blatant attacks and negativity in supposedly neutral reporting is just plain crazy. Ed Shulz needs to be banned from the airwaves, again!

    At least he hasn't called anyone the S word yet.

    I think what you are referring to is called "Rovism". Hey, I don't like it either, but it is the way the game gets played post-Bush. Didn't Rove tell us that McCain fathered 11 children while in Vietnam? Or was it 9? Didn't he also tell us that McCain was gay because he was meeting with the Log Cabiners? And Rove never goes on MSNBC.

    Of course it's justified. In my mind, it's been justified since Ken Starr and Lucianne Goldberg. Why wouldn't it be justified?

    Rove has said some disturbing things but its never "in your face" type of stuff that people like Ed Shulz or Al Shapton spew. Its fine to have your views but its another to use a national news program to mock and be negative in every single report they give. Fox news in no way acts like this. They seem to present their views without trying to purposely offend anyone. Msnbc seems like they are trying to (*)(*)(*)(*) everyone off.

    Ed Shulz shouldn't be reporting on a non biased segment of any news broadcast.

    What do you want? The corportist media has to dangle all their corportist politicians out there and act like they put them through the ringer, so the American people think they are actually choosing someone diffrent.

    As the resident expert on all things MSNBC it goes w/o saying.
    Their mission is to do everything in their power to Boost Obama,make
    him into some Dictator King and,all the while defrock any semblance
    of Republicanism.It is pure Politburo.
    Like Newt said about 2 months ago,MSNBC is basically the official
    Obama Re-elect site.

    I have no problem watching liberal sites as that's part of my job in political science but they go far beyond reporting their views. They are on constant attack often ignoring things that are negative about the democratic party. Fox news had no problem reporting on negatives with the republicans and even reported about the problems with their boss Murdoch over in England. To say Fox is evil and ignore msnbc just simply is not credible.

    MSBNC hit rock bottom quite awhile ago and that's where their ratings are....

    FoxNews has always presented both sides of the isle. Bob Beckle is about as lib as they come and Fox gave him his own hr show...... there are many liberal commentators on FoxNews, but the libs here refuse to admit it.......

    Their coverage of the November 2010 elections was horrible as well. So bad, in fact, that they received a ton of bad publicity over it. Sounds like they haven't learned.

    Remember when they suspended Keith Olbermann? People at the time thought MSNBC was trying to reform their image. I guess they were wrong.

    Progressives watch msnbc and assume that fox is just as bad.

    That's why they think fox is evil.

    Try it some time. Point out how disgusting something said on msnbc was to a progressive. They'll claim fox is just as bad. Ask for a specific example. They've got nothing. They don't actually watch fox news, they just assume the other side is as disgusting and vile as their side is.

    Fox isn't news. It's a paid propaganda channel for the GOP....similar to the shopping channels. They dictate the "news" (cough, cough).

    I think you should watch Fox and stop watching anything else. Considering a non Fox channel scan goes against the GOP's stated agenda.

    Everything MSNBC does is horrible, that's why they are getting their collective asses kicked in the ratings.

    MSNBC is a GREAT news channel! Just take whatever they say and assume the opposite. You'll be close to what's actually true.

    While it's a clever excuse, it's meaningless.

    Fox hasn't had to suspend anchors unlike msnbc which has done it twice. I think that says something don't you. They were even smart enough to fire Beck because he was way to opinionated even though he was watched by more people than any single broadcast on msnbc.

    You're right - Rove is never in your face - he's behind your back under a rock.

    Fox News distorts the truth in a very nice way for the most part.

    If MSNBC pissed anybody off tonight, it was just Conservatives. I thought they were pretty funny for the most part. :twisted:

    Could you explain the difference between MSNBC firing Olbermann and Fox firing Beck? I think "suspend" means they're off air for awhile and Olbermann is definitely gone.

    Rove is an idiot and a Washington insider that has little to do with being a GOP
