If only it was that easy. Because Fox promotes such an aggressive social/political agenda in order to change the country rather than just reporting the news, we on the other side of the aisle ignore them at our own peril.

It's a conservative leaning news agency and one of the very few. The rest are generally liberal leaning. To what degree one way or the other I don't know or particularly care since I control none of them. Differences of opinion and free speech are the perils of a free society....

I wouldn't have such a low opinion of Fox simply being conservative, were it not for the fact that they clearly give such a slanted view of events with the intent of shaping public opinion and altering the political process. As for the charge that the rest of the media is liberal - well, I can't dispute the fact that many reporters are just that, but many if not most of them practice unbiased journalism that is hardly seen on Fox. In fact, the only major news source that's openly liberal is MSNBC, but even they can hardly be accused of going to the extent of slanting the news to the point of altering it as with Fox.

There's enough BS in there to fertilize a large vegetable garden for a year.
All I'm seeing here is butthurt that the right is doing the same as the left, only since it's the right doing it somehow it's wrong.
All I'd like to see is news reported as it happens without commentary but no major news agency that I'm aware of honestly provides that. I've had more than one liberal tell me that it takes more than simply reporting to be effective. That a news agency should take on the responsibility of shaping public opinion, as if we, the unwashed masses, need to be told what to think.
