BBC vs. Fox News: fair and balanced to you, too

On Fox News being so "rightwing," how many threads pop up complaining about some commentator putting a liberal spin on the news.

The nice thing about Fox is that they present both sides without making either side appear ridiculous (unless the left argument is so outfield), as the rest of the networks have done to the "right" side of an argument for far too many years.

"Anyone who reads Coulter or Goldberg's books will quickly realise that people like Mr Felton are delusional. "

You are confused. I posted the article. I did not write the article, nor did I take a position on the contents.

Given your beligerance I am tempted to take a position as the devils advocate and rhetorically rip you to shreds.

However, I'm not dispositioned to make the effort this evening.

Instead you may apologize for unwarranted insults. I am a fan of Fox news and an enemy of all media which attacks Western Civilization ala the BBC, CNN and Al Jazeera.

Let's see: The "right" has FOX (which DOES present both sides and has an equal number of conservatives and liberals) and Talk Radio and the "left" has CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, The LA Times, Newsweek, Time, The Washington Post, etc. etc. etc. And yet, somehow the American people are in danger of being taken over by the "right". These people are so terrified of the truth it's laughable.

Barf alert?

Probably not. I sense the message the author wants to say (BTW the author of the story seems to be British) is that this shows the majority of Americans are "far right-wingers".

Oops... lol

Thanks for the ping!

I do most certainly apologise.

I took you to be the author and poster.

That's the difference between us and the liberals, we know when we are wrong and apologise.

[Mark Felton]

thank you.

I agree with you. The difference between winners and losers is that winners fail and learn but losers fail to learn.
