I am turning away from Fox more and more.

Isn't a free press just the greatest thing?

Fair and balanced should mean more time for conservative guests to talk. The liberals get a lot of time on the other networks.

Sorry, I cannot agree. I find Brit Hume, John Gibson, Neal Cavuto, Jim Anglin, and others there, and no where else.

I have no problem with Fox News presenting both sides.

"What happened to Fair and Conservative."

It's never been "Fair and Conservative." It's always been fair and balanced, however. I've never seen any guest on Fox get away with just listing a bunch of talking points and never getting challenged on it, and I've never been able to see anyone cite a plausible slant in its coverage either way. Bitching that Brit Hume is liberally biased because he leads with a Kerry story is hilarious.

During news updates through- out the day the lead is a Kerry attack on President Bush or some other Liberal quote. THIS IS NOT FAIR AND BALANCED.

Yes, actually. Presenting the one side, followed by the other's rebuttal, is the very definition of fair and balanced!

All of the liberal media networks are carrying Kerry's water each and every day with Chris Matthews being the worst of the ilk.

Very true. This is why I do not watch Chris Matthews.

FREEPERS HELP TURN FOX NEWS BACK TO FAIR AND CONSERVATIVE.

No thanks. I like them fair and balanced. If they were just conservative, no liberals would watch. We need the liberals views to be layed out, and then refuted. This is the only way to swing people over to our side.

Take a break, have a cocktail, and relax.

You seem to have bought into the liberal spin that Fox News is Republican News. Fox is a news channel, plain and simple as that. It only appears to be conservative due to the fact you won't see conservatives on any other "news" channel (except as fodder for ad hominum attacks, and drooling, spitting screamfests, a la Matthews). So no, it doesn't bother me at all that Fox carries stories about leftists. They are giving me the news, something I can't get from any other source, apparently.

I think this post illustrates that EVERYONE both on the left and the right need to get back to reality and realize that there are people on the left and the right and no matter what the station that plays both sides is the best, which Fox is doing.


Wanting it to be exclusively Republican/Conservative plays into their hands. The Reps and the Conservatives still get equal time and that is ALL anyone could ask for out of any media outlet.

Right there with you. Noticed it months ago, but it's really been bad since the parent network CEO endorsed Kerry.

I've emailed FOX telling them I'd like to hear more conservatives give their opinions rather than give more airtime to liberals who already have access to other networks. There's no reason to listen to FOX if I see the same people and listen to the same garbage. I noted the exception with Cavuto. He's been very good. O'Really has his moments.

You have your head where the sun never shines,

Fox news is crazy -- like a ...well...Fox!

All day I've been watching them lead off with the Kerry crowd's tirade against the POW ad -- as an excuse to then show that devastatingly anti-Kerry ad -- repeatedly -- and as NEWS, not as a paid ad.

They do the same thing very often. I call it the "skeet technique" -- where the Lib news is the clay pigeon, and the conservative response blows it to pieces.

"Pull!".............POW!

It's a beautiful thing to watch!

I thought Fox News was excellent tonight. (Brit Hume's show, except Jim Angle was sitting in for him)

Major Garrett made the comparison of Republican 527's versus the Democratic 527's.

They had a good interview with Guiliani.

Then their panel discussion of the Swiftvet Ads, the NYT story and the Kerry shennanigans was excellent.

I don't get a chance to watch it every night, but I sure wasn't disappointed tonight.
