The "fox bashers" are untroubled that liberals won't appear on Fox. But similarly, the "CNN bashers" are untroubled that conservatives are refusing in droves to appear on Crossfire. Why doesn't everyone just admit that both networks have their own bias - CNN to the left and Fox to the right - whether or not they try to portray themselves "fair and balanced", "objective", etc.?

Fox employs more left-wingers than CNN (and gives two of them prime-time shows so no one can cry "boycott"). Fox News lets more left-wingers have their say than CNN does conservatives. There is no comparison.

If Bush or a prominent Republican were credibly accused of a felony (forcible rape, perjury etc.) and Fox ignored the story, I would agree with you.

But they have yet to do this whereas CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS have all significantly covered up for Clinton. Even the Lisa Myers' report concerning Juanita Broddock was downplayed. I don't see O'Reilly doing this if it were a GOP rape scandal. O'Reilly, in fact, may be the most prominent critic of the Catholic Church -- a conservative institution -- concerning the pediastry matter.

Journalists, regardless of their political views, are supposed to look for scoops and provide the viewers or readers with information relevant to maintining their freedom -- which includes the character of one's leaders.

CNN et al are biased to the left to the point of dishonesty. Fox tries to play it straight and only appears biased since the leftists control the agenda.
