Sorry about this. Most readers will have seen part or all of this but I want it to be seen again and again. Our country is in real trouble when such bias can be aired as news. Where is the Fairness Doctrine when we need it?
Have you ever seen or heard of a FOX news reporter covering a political event badgering anyone in such a partisan way? There is a difference between news reporting and talking head commentary and Fox maintains the distinction. The MSM seldom does.
The point is that it is only conservative broadcasting the "liberals" want to muzzle with a "fairness doctrine." Currently the Democrats in congress are trying to sneak through a bill that would provide the muzzle but would not mention fairness. So much for transparency.
The left never complains about CNN, MSNBC,CBS, ABC or the NY Times, Washington Post or Boston Globe. The blatant unrelenting left wing bias of the media in its reporting about our great country has contributed significantly to the sorry state we are in today. Happily left wing media viewer and reader numbers are declining and they are going broke---.So what to do?- the liberals want to give the papers tax free status.
You compare CNN bias with Fox but most objective observers including many independents do believe Fox is fair and balanced.I suggest you compare Fox viewer ratings to those of the "main stream" media.
I'm assuming everyone has heard about CNN's Anderson Cooper use a sexually suggestive and very ugly term when he referred to the people attending the tea parties. And David Gergen laughed.
And CNN wonders why they are last in the ratings for the cable news channels.

So let me get this straight: CNN bias = BAD; Fox "News" bias = GOOD. Where's the fairness in that?

The non-partisan Pew Research Center has said for several years that Fox has the most balanced coverage.
ReplyDeleteHeck, Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager said as much late last year.
BTW, this "reporter" has been put on leave by CNN because of her outrageous behavior at the tea parties.
Susan Roesig applied twice (and was rejected) at Fox News. Looks like they made the right decision.

Looks like CNN hired the reject when they hired this "reporter".

ReplyDeleteBruce, Name calling just doesn't cut it. Why don't you make substantive comments?
ReplyDeleteWe laugh because all this is a tempest in a teapot.
ReplyDeletePoor CNN. They just can't get any traction in their ratings. They're sinking like a tank.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking about teapots I heard a riddle today.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't liberals drink tea?
The answer is:
Their leaders only serve them koolade!
I really laughed.
