FOX News’s actual news coverage, not its political commentators, really is fair and balanced, not preferring either side and covering a variety of issues.

What I can’t figure out is why only 2,000,000 people watch Fox in the evenings while 15,000,000 watch the MSM news on the nets? If conservatives are so disenchanted with the MSSM why arent they wtching Fox?
