I was comparing the MSM, which you said contends that its reporting is "objective" and "neutral", not informed by an "opinion", one way or the other. As such, they are being dishonest.... to Fox's "fair" and "balanced" reporting.

...to Fox's "fair" and "balanced" reporting.

But Fox is what they advertise.

They are "fair" in the sense that, what they present as straight news, is indeed straight and uncolored by any discernible political bias.

They are "balanced" in the sense that, what they present as opinion, is a.) labelled as such and b.) adequately represents both the liberal and conservative viewpoint (i.e., the "conservative" isn't a "token", like Tucker Carlson, who's a wuss, or Bob Novak, who's a registered Democrat).

You disagree with this? If so, why?
