Once again we get the medieval notion of modern liberals that people think as they are told.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee -- that about sums it up

[SevenofNine]

It's Rupert Murdoch fault LOL!

[Cicero]

So, the Toronto Star thinks it's OK that the broadcast media are 95% leftist, but turns its beady little eyes on the other 5% for questioning it.

At best, Fox is neutral. It only looks conservative in contrast with the screaming liberals everywhere else.

[Killborn]

Good. Because the DSM is an arm of the Demon party. We have no free press.

Until Rush, Fox News, the blogosphere, and FR came along.

[TommyDale]

Are Democrats gaining votes because of CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, & MSNBC News?

So Fox, by offering BOTH sides of the story equals Republican votes. So, they are saying that when people get fair and balanced news, they tend to vote Republican? What a concept!

" O'Reilly : "The left-wing press and the terrorists in Iraq have something in common," he said. "The terrorists want to damage the Bush administration, and so does the left-wing press."

Exactly true!

[ConservativeMind]

Look, Bill O'Reilly admits to being a partisan editorialist.

Since when did ABC News, or any other "non-partisan news" outlet, profess to be partisan except for now? We are being fed liberal tripe as "non-partisan news" and true conservatives are realizing it.

There is a huge, HUGE difference.

[mbennett203]

"Except that few would agree that fairness is a virtue of O'Reilly or Fox News."

I love these cute throwaways. "We all know fox is biased and unfair, of course." Uh, no, *we* don't.

[goresalooza]

I hope BOR also realizes that FOX it tilting more left lately. That's the reason I won't watch them. I don't watch TV news at all. Who needs it?

[txroadkill]

...viewers will often see anchors Sean Hannity...

Do you think they really didn't know that Hannity is not an anchor???

[Mr. Buzzcut]

I always find it amusing when the Left, who have CNNNBCPBSABCMSNBCWAPONYT, whine about a couple conservative leaning outfits.

Apparently, they require 100% media saturation to prevail.

[Notwithstanding]

One media source finally gives the GOP a fair shake, and the pissants begin to piss.

[Jaysun]

Fairness doctrine, fairness doctrine, boom ba rah!

[Always Right]

While there was no Fox News equivalent here...

This is your brain on drugs.

[shield]

Well if FoxNews would like us to think that then let 'em think that. When it's NOT true. FoxNews is leaning more left this yr than the last election cycle.

I've always enjoyed watching FoxNews Sunday...Wallace is so left leaning it's all over this news program now, and I can't even watch it any longer. Maybe after 2006 election is over, I'll be able again.

Republicans will remain majority in the House and the Senate...even as hard as all the networks have tried to demonize the Republicans...hardy har har har....

[monkeyshine]

So to all you statisticians out there, is it safe to assume that before Fox News, the left bias of the other MSM caused an even more dramatic vote count for the Democrats?

If Fox accounts for a .7% increase in votes for GOP candidates, does that mean that ABC, CBS, NBC, NYTimes, LATimes etc might account for something on the order of a 5-7% tilt towards the Democrats?

Would this explain the decades long grip that the Democrats had on the House before the "GOP revolution"?

study's co-author, Stefano DellaVigna, professor of economics at the University of California at Berkeley.

My nose hit a brick wall at this point.

[Lancey Howard]

....authors of a soon-to-be-published study in the Quarterly Journal of Economics suggest so. They claim, using empirical data, that Fox News's overt conservative-Republican bias actually influenced people to vote for the Republican Party in 2000, and to turn out in greater numbers to do so. They call it "The Fox News Effect."

Horse manure. The "Fox News Effect" has barely scratched the surface in beginning to undo the damage done by decades of liberal bias from the socialist Democrat press and network newsrooms. In fact, "the Fox News effect" can basically be summed up as "finally telling the truth about the Democrat agenda to turn America into a French-style, secular socialist welfare state."

Aside from a few America-hating, capitalism-hating socialist goofballs, Americans don't like that agenda. And so they stopped voting for Democrats. Surprise, surprise.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Let's remember that Mark Halperin is the son of Morton Halperin sometime head of the ACLU and a member of the Clinton Administration (State DepartmentP who never received a security clearance (Commie background) and who was the one who had his laptop stolen with all manner of sensitive information on it.

Left leaning? You could say so.

[tcostell]

You know... the big "thinking liberal" line is that they are only interested in providing government solutions where people say they want government to solve the problem. Well what rational person would want government to solve any problem if they knew the costs associated with it? The answer is none... and the only reason the costs of government are never discussed is because the MSM never mentions them.

All over the left they say that Americans want universal health care but who would want it if they knew the cost was a 2 year wait for essential surgery? They say they want lower gas prices and higher wages, but when government tries to solve either of those the cost is shortages of gas and high unemployment.

Thank god for Fox News. It's the only major media outlet that actually discusses both benefits and costs.
