Seems that Fox News has them running. This quote wins my "They haven't a clue" award for the year: said Andrew Heyward, president of CBS News. "There is a long-standing tradition in the mainstream press of middle-of-the-road journalism that is objective and fair."
Since when were CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS 'objective and fair'? LOL

"I certainly think that all news people are watching the success of Fox," said Andrew Heyward, president of CBS News. "There is a long-standing tradition in the mainstream press of middle-of-the-road journalism that is objective and fair. BAWAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! *snort* *giggle* *choke*

Was this on the opinion page? It certainly represents an opinion no less than the incidents it condemns.

"If you have a range of opinion that leaves out a whole part of the country," Mr. Shapiro said, "you're unintentionally sending a message that `you are not welcome here.' " He gets it, but we shall see how it translates in the long term.

MSNBC, on the other hand, has added several features to capture more conservatives, who, along with moderates, make up a larger share of the cable news audience than do liberals, according to analysts. So, there you have it-- liberals don't even watch the news, but yet, spout off about it. True ignorance.

If the rest of those alphabet soups are un-biased and objective, I don't know what I'm gonna do with the three dictionaries I have.

This coming from the NYT is hysterical. They report only the objective news eh? Strange how all their news reporting about the war was completely wrong

Well, O'Reilly's in trouble. CNN's Paula Zahn will be challenging him in her new time slot. O'Reilly's shaking in his boots (from laughing so hard).

But with 46 of the top 50 cable shows last week alone, Fox has brought prominence to a new sort of TV journalism that casts aside traditional notions of objectivity, holds contempt for dissent and eschews the skepticism of government at mainstream journalism's core. Traditional notions of objectivity? Balderdash! The lamestream media long ago got rid of that. Examples include emphasis on so-called damage to the environment by everything from SUV's to "global warming", portraying most any type of poor person as underprivledged needing more government help and another government" entitlement", and telling us that victims of circumstance are instead victims of doctors, insurance companies, big business, but ignoring that they are most of all victims of lawyers.

This is just dripping with that nauseating liberal condescension. They are so clueless about what real,unbiased journalism is.

I noticed that the war coverage changed as the three weeks went on. MSNBC really started moving right and actually had some of the best live war coverage of any of the channels. Impressive. But I think we all know that Fox is the best in terms of news and events. I love their commentators and contributors -- Mansour Ijaz, Col. Hunt, Bob Bevelaqua, (and a host of other military advisors who were terrific). I also enjoy the political commentary. They can really get the lefties on the run!!!

Whenever ABCCBSNBSCNNNTY et al talk about how they are unbiased, or anyone for that matter, we can always beat them over the head with CNN and how the kowtowed to Saddam for over twelve years. Unbiased indeed!

Joe Scarborough's show on MSNBC opposite Greta on Fox is excellent! He is a true partriot and he skewers the left night after night. I urge everybody to tune in! Let's support one of our own. It would also be nice if everybody would send an email to MSNBC supporting Joe. Thanks!

So called "objectivity" has always meant sedition and treason.
"Free speech" today means advocating sodomy, whoredom, pornography,narcotic use, and of course sedition and treason. Be suspicious of the big words, i.e. 'justice', 'freedom','democracy' etc. The better question;in whose interest is a proposed course of action being set forth?

"If you have a range of opinion that leaves out a whole part of the country," Mr. Shapiro said, "you're unintentionally sending a message that `you are not welcome here.' "What I can't figure out is why it took the mass media 35 years to understand this and balance things out. MSNBC's "Donahue" lineup was completey normal for network coverage since 1968. The obvious question for all those execs is exactly why they did not do something like this (i.e. get rid of Dan Rather) on the broadcast networks in 1975, or 1983, or 1992, and why it still has not been done today except on FOX and MSNBC.

"If you have a range of opinion that leaves out a whole part of the country," Mr. Shapiro said, "you're unintentionally sending a message that `you are not welcome here.' " For years the mainstream press has ignored the heartland of America in its proselytizing of the liberal cause. Most major newspapers on the east and west coast look at the interior of the country, including the south, as irrelevant. Fox is proving that there is a large amount of the populace who will tune in for news and opinion that reinforces their values, not denigrate them.

Fox's formula had already proved there were huge ratings in opinionated news with an America-first flair. What? Americans rooting for America means huge ratings? I am shocked! Shocked I tell ya.
