I look at a balanced argument as two or more sides stating their positions based on facts and honest (fact-based) opinions. But Fox really doesn't force it's liberal voices to back up what they say with fact. So, what we end up is conservatives trying to argue based on fact, while liberals simply make up crap as an opposing argument.
Juan Williams is the “poster child” for straw-man arguments and inane, fabricated “facts.” Beckel is no better.
I want arguments based on facts. And while Fox is better than most networks, the liberal liars on Fox are no better or different than the liberal liars on MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, et al.
Hannity lost me many years ago when the guy in NYC took a plunger to the arse from a crazed cop. Hannity kept saying it never happened and had the cop’s dad on for the entire time that the story unfolded. When it turned out to be true, the story disappeared from his show.
