The laughable part is the concept that Fox News is so right wing, while all the others have no agenda whatsoever.What Mr Felton might care to explain, but does do so in his article, is why has Fox News been so succesful in taking media share from all the other channels, cable news and network alike.
The fact is Fox provided an alternative to all the others that the public liked. They recognised that there was another point of view that was different from the left wing chorus from the networks. Add to that, the internet has unfettered the masses from the mind control of the networks and the left, like Mr Felton, are apoplectic at the loss of control that they once exerted.
Anyone who reads Coulter or Goldberg's books will quickly realise that people like Mr Felton are delusional.

I wouldn't be so optimistic either. Most non-US Westerners and Asians who speak English DO think that CNN is right-wing and "too pro-American". And I mean CNN International - which makes CNN America look like National Review in comparison. Not to say Fox News - "way too far American" according to them. I'm quoting comments from two Asians posting in an Asia-based blog. The comments were made during the Iraq war last April. You can see their far left biases that many Americans don't see:

To have an idea of what "objective" reports are like according to these people, have a look at either the BBC or Deutsche Welle TV (which is in English).

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.
