Of course all the news channels twist facts, but the thing is that fox news has actually been shown to omit stories that they think make the conservative side look bad, such as giving as little coverage as possible to Cheney shooting a guy, even though it didn't really make Cheney look bad.

There are tons of instances of other stations doing this. The war is a great example, they were happy to show all sorts of stories when it was going poorly but now that most of the news there is positive they don't really cover it at all. Seriously folks stop deluding yourselves into believing the news you watch is special..its not. All of them are equally horrible. Its like you didn't even read what I wrote and just wrote a "but but but..." reply. They all do it, telling yourself otherwise doesn't change that.

The other news channels HAVE been reporting the surge working. I know. I've seen the Stories.
MSNBC ran a bunch of stories about it. CNN ran a bunch of stories about it. The only reason they still arn't running stories is because we have a little thing called the presidential election. Even then a good number of stories talk about how the troop surge working in Iraq should help Mccain.
If fox news is different then every other paper and channel out their in how they report more stories you have one of two options.
1) Fox news is more biased
2) Everyone else is the same amount of biased but in the opposite direction of Fox news. (including just about every newspaper even the conservative ones.)
I'm gonna go with Fox news being full of it. As someone who usually thinks out their aguements rationally i'm surprised you miss this. I'm assuming you read a few newspapers and watch a variety of news tv right? You have to have noticed.
Christians believe everyones sin.

Christians can tell the difference between someone who has robbed a store, and someone who eats grapes in the supermarket. If you read from a wide breath of news soruces and watch each of the 4 24 news networks (though two are very similar, 5 if you count BBC) you will see that Fox news obviously different in the way they handle everything compared to the rest of the news networks.

This is compared to some conservatives on other networks as well by the way. They report differently then the other conservative republicans on other networks. It's not a case of them trying to make republicans look better or sensationalist journalism, it's them going way farther over the line with it.

Way far. Rupert Murdoch got his fortune doing tabloid journalism. Why would he abandon that, when that type of reporting sells so well?

Fox news is comfort food for a certain type of conservative. Those that like their views pandered to. There is likely a liberal group like that, but they are either too small, or not unified in the views they want to be pandered to (should Air America have sucked up more to the environmentalists or the PC crowd?). 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
