My point Tranny, is the Fox News likes to pass themselves off as being "fair and balanced". The opposite has been well documented (some say proven).
Agreed. It's a goofy slogan for them. They are clearly leaning one way moe than the other. Much like CNN leans o the left, but certainly not as far IMO.

Fox has a habit of bringing on well versed Republicans that are powerful speakers, yet they don't do the same for the Democrats.
I disagree. Yes at times it is a repulican love-in, but at others they have both sides represented equally.

I honestly dont watch the channel a whole lot, and especially at night when Hannity (whom i actually loathe) and O Reilly are on. O Reilly i used to hear quite a bit because his radio show was carried locally...it is no longer and niether is Hannitys. O Reilly just isnt a mouthpiece for conservatives like you make him out BTW....yes he usually leans that way but he also speaks his mind and as evidenced by his 60 minutes interview last week, actually is pretty harsh on Bush and company...which is refreshing.

Also, no one talks about the whole Al Franken and "Air America Radio" network. They are as far left on that thing as Limbaugh and Hannity are on the right. NIETHER side is balanced nor fair to the issues, and so far from the rality sometimes is preposterous.
