Foxnews Hysteria Debunked
Whenever the Obama administration wants to distract us from the train wreck that is their administration, they start the war on Foxnews and talk radio host. Fox is the only network that is called out by name for alleged bias by the administration which not so curiously fails to mention the resident loon at MSNBC Keith Olberman for his vitriol laced tirades.
The mainstream media had a monopoly up until a decade ago when Fox burst onto the scene and upset the leftwing applecart. The fact is,Foxnews isn't anymore right leaning than the other networks like CNN are left leaning. If you compare them, the differences between the networks is clear. MSNBC, CNN have virtually no debate. Fox's "fair and balanced approach" of pitting the left/right points of view against one another and letting viewer decide has been a ratings bonanza. Foxnews has far more regular liberal contributors to its discussions than the others combined. Ellis Henican. Bob Beckle, Alan Colmes,Kiersten Powers, Juan Williams,Carl Jeffers, Melani Marshall, Quentin Hardy, Julien Epstein and Mike Papantonio can be heard daily. I believe the allegations of bias are a mere smokescreen and that the left simply hates Foxnews for even having conservative viewpoints at all. If it was bias they hated, then the left would be opposed to all other mainstream and cable networks which have virtually no regular conservative representation.
The liberal dominance of NBC, CNN, CBS,MSNBC, NY Times, LA Times and the Chicago Tribune are not enough to quell their insecurity of having one right leaning medium. The left loves to label anyone that opposes them as intolerant, bigoted or racist. By the looks of their media, I think the evidence of who is really intolerant is overwhelming.
