    It means the majority of the journalists are professionals who know how to provide objective reporting in the news. They are not a bunch of propagandists pretending to be journalists, who spew out speculative, non-reality based opinion pieces claiming fairness and balance.

    MSNBC is just as abhorrent as Fox News. If you want the truth, don’t watch either channel. Secondly, the GOP would attract more voters if the party were not so backwards on social issues.

    If the GOP were not so backwards on social issues, they’d be the Democrats.

    Funny how they back up everything they say with video. Unlike Faux, which has repeatedly stooped to using visuals proven to be from different events. My favorite was using an Obama rally crowd as the backdrop for a poorly-attended republican rally. Their response? Oops. Every time.

    If you get you knowledge from ANY news media, FOX, PBS, and ABC included, you’re abysmally ignorant. Doubly ignorant, because what you think you know is materially misleading. .Fortunately, little of it is really of any real concern to you. Sadly, the little that actually affects you is local and is therefore reported by juvenile journalism majors who are both ignorant and gullible.

    Front-line journalists who actually see the real world tend to be liberal.But ALL major news organizations — print or media — are owned by large, rich corporations and they do get to ultimate dictate what kind of information is dispersed.

    Fox “News”? Fox was founded by Roger Ailes (who is still its president) and who was a top-level Republican operative and strategist who was instrumental in the Nixon, Reagan and Geo HW Bush election wins.

    He submitted a secret proposal in a 15-page memo in 1970 to have a media operation that would work in concert with Republican interests that was eventually worked into an actual program.

    Fox has been caught reading directly from Republican talking points and donated over a million dollars directly to Republican campaigns. There is nothing remotely similar to this relationship with any media person to the Democratic party. Registering and voting for a Democrat (by front line workers, not owners) is not the same as active collaboration.

    In contrast, Keith Olbermann gave a small donation to three Democratic congressional candidates and got suspended and ultimately fired; George Stephanopolous donated to the Clinton Foundation which, while it looks bad and merits criticism, is technically a charitable foundation and non-political. But Stephanopolous did not technically violate policy and, though admonished, did not need to be disciplined.

    Fox News is worthy. They have broken virtually every story about the current corrupt administration, as well as the revelations about a secretary of state who apparently sold US interests in exchange for donations to her family “charity.” The leftist “news” channels are still seemingly unaware of the corruption.
