No surpise. Dunn is right. That is exactly what Fox News is all about. No, nothing will be done about it because, as you stated, ALL these 24/7 news operations are the same. The big difference is Fox marketing itself as "fair and balanced" when that is the furthest thing from the truth, except of course, to their own audience. They are just singing to the choir and reinforcing their position, opinions and bashing with their viewers, who are statistically. predominately right wing republicans. They are simply telling their "flock" what they want to hear. The rest of the news channels do the same thing, they just aren't as blatant about it as Fox....who also hypes their "trifecta of stupidity" in the form of Hannity, O'Reilly and Beck. that they call REAL news. BS. Beck is a raving, recovering alcoholic lunatic who says nothing credible. Hannity is nothing but a Limbaugh wanna-be and is revered by all the Limbaugh dittoheads. O'Reilly is just an egotisical moron. All 3 of them became millionaires by pandering to their flock. Even Dick Morris is a fat joke. For 8 years he sucked money out of the Clinton's (who he once worshipped) and then quickly flipped parties when Bush was in office. He's a turncoat, a phony and a golddigger.

I think you have to watch a little bit of all the news networks and you might get a glimpse of the real truth. A shame but that's the way it is. I too believe they should bring back the Fairness Doctrine...but they won't.
 
Well, FOX is definitely a wing of the Republican Party. However, MSNBC is unquestionably a wing of the DNC. And they aren't even subtle about it, like FOX is. Rather, they are absolutely blatant about it.

It is what it is and it is what news has become. And it isn't going back to what it used to be, either. As long as there is some balance.

And given FOX's humongous audience of viewers stacked against each of the audiences of the Liberal networks, it seems to provide a good balance, overall.
 
I don't think it is accurate to call MSNBC an arm of the Democratic party. To the extent they have a point of view, it is very progressive. Therefore, they may promote the viewpoints of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. However, they are often scathing in their criticism of the "Blue Dogs" and conservative Dems in general They have often been critical of Obama, also. I've seen Jonathan Turley, for example, whose criticism of Obama inaction on torture and other civil liberties issues is usually quite harsh. Rachel Maddow often takes Obama to task for failing to act on DADT and DOMA.

It's hard for me to comment on FOX because I simply never watch it. If I'm channel surfing, I can only stop on FOX for 5 minutes or so and get completely disgusted (I always seem to channel surf when Hannity and O'Reily are on). I'll watch snippets of it posted on Huffington Post, but obviously they're showing the worst of FOX, so that isn't sufficient to make a truly informed criticism.
 
It's an embarrassment that a government official would make such a stupid pronouncement.

Perhaps somebody should let her know the campaign is over.

Why is it stupid? It seems pretty accurate to me.

FOX contributed over 100 hours of content related to the "teabaggers" demo last month.

How many hours have they contributed to this weekend's gay march, which apparently drew a crowd almost twice the size?
 
If Fox News is a wing of the Republican party, how do you explain the following hosts, anchors and contributors:

Gerald Rivera
Bret Baier
Quentin Hardy
Bob Beckel
Susan Estrich
Geraldine Ferraro
Rick Folbaum
Juan Williams
Bill Hemmer
Jon Scott
Ellis Henican
David Asman
Adam Housley
Alan Colmes
Phil Keating
Rick Leventhal
Jonas Max Ferris

The above list is a mix of clear liberals or fair-minded individuals (who could be Democrats, Republicans or Independents). A couple of these are actually part of the weekend business lineup, where I think Fox News allows conservatives and liberals to go at it with each other. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this list?

I caught portions of Hannity and Colmes a few years ago. Colmes struck me as a liberal punching bag. Not very smart or aggressive. Certainly not very adept at advancing a progressive agenda.
 
I would love to see a fare and balanced doctrine to come back. It would be great to be able to watch at least one news cast that isn't heavily bias to either direction without having to go outside of the United States to get it. Maybe, I am wishing for just a bit too much. That is the ultimate flaw with a 24/7 News Channel though. You can't really have something like that and make money. Just looking across the gambit of 24/7 News Channels the ones that don't have talk of some sort 24/7 have added other programming. CNBC comes to mind. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, and the rest are all pretty guilty. It is shame one can't have a rational debate without hearing that is a liberal source, that is a conservative source. That scholar is a hack because he graduated from x, y, z Institution and that institution only produces liberal or conservatives.

Any new 'news' channel starting up is going to aim itself at an audience of pre-made fans, and that means people who already have strong opinions. That's just economics: if you want sponsors to advertise, then you want to be able to say, "We're confident of X million viewers".

It would be great to have a pure libertarian news channel, and a socialist one, but not enough people would watch them to make them economically viable. That itself is an interesting commentary on the market as we presently have it: it favors strong ideological positions.
 
It's a shame USA is so partisan. You don't hear me slamming our fucking good for nothing, vote buying Conservative party, do you?..|

The same way we explain Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins.

Not that I've ever seen either on Fox News. ;)

White House Communications Director Anita Dunn slammed Fox News in an interview on CNN with Howie Kurtz this morning, saying that Fox News "is more a wing of the Republican Party" than an objective news organization.

"The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," Dunn said.


This shows, again, the utter dishonesty of Obama's promises.

You can't bring about a new post-partisan era with comments like this that broad-stroke derision about the GOP.

This amusing criticism coming from a guy who has repeatedly maintained that a post-partisan era was never possible to begin with.

It's true I realized all along that Republicans were not going to change and that ObamaNation would not be unifying, that the partisanship would continue.

Obama, on the other hand, promised he'd change that. And his supporters claimed that's what would happen. I said it wouldn't happen.

Speaking as one who (foolishly) hoped it might happen I still think Obama had a much better chance of making it happen than the candidate you supported.

And yet even with your scenario of the better chance he failed. So much for The One We've Been Waiting For.

But I said he wouldn't do it.

He didn't do it.

I figured that out a year and a half ago by assessing his words and actions up to then. I didn't hate him, I didn't love him, I didn't get fooled by him. To me he wasn't a friend or a boyfriend or the one I might've been waiting for, he was a Democratic candidate and I judged his record. I understood what his choices said about him and how he'd perform as President; I saw him for who he is, that's all.
 
You're expressing an opinion. If you have some facts to back up your opinion, we'd welcome them.

Please don't tell me that you are one of those conservative people who actually thinks Fox is "fair and balanced", lol.

They have a VERY overt right leaning bias to any intelligent observer.

I would say on most of their shows it's just about as overt as MSNBC's left bias.

I don't think they are actually in direct contact with any political party, but it's pretty clear who their audience is and how they go about reporting the news from that perspective.
 
Dubya's Whithouse said "FUCK MSNBC"...And they meant it...

Barack's White house is Full of cry-babies.."FOX is not playing nicey-nicey"..."We want to be Liked and Loved"..LOL...Oh Boo-Fucking-hoo...I Support the new Obama administration but when they complain about FOX News they come off as "Pussies"...Man-up...

SURPRISE folks but FOX News is NEVER-EVER gonna change. What's so fucking SURPRISING about that shit? It's so comical at this point because Obama's staff wants the spotlight and that Director knew she'd get it..Even during the campaign I wanted to tell Barack to SHUT-THE-Hell'UP whenever he mention Sean Hannity's name..."Sean doesnt like me, he says bad things about me and I don't know why, Keith Oberman sucks my Dick but Sean won't do it"....Sean Hannity is a FUCKING republican and he only sucks Republican Dick so GET over it already...LOL...

They need to STOP worrying about FOX News and Shove that Damn Health care Bill attached with a Public Option down the Republicans Fucking throat...I mean Ram it down their throats and pull it out their Assholes...

MAN-UP Obama Adminstration...Stop this Silly-Ass War with FOX News...If they REALLY want to score points in this silly Fight,the President needs to go on Keith & Rachels MSNBC's PrimeTime Shows so they can beat O'Riley & Hannity in the ratings..

MSNBC supports the Obama administration about 85% of the time but The President won't help spike their terrible ratings..Giving the NBC/MSNBC Press front row seats on the planes and at the Press conferences ain't cutting it...They need The President's Perfect little Bubble Butt in the chair on the Cable networks shows...

Case closed...
