[citation][nom]belardo[/nom]Anyone who thinks that FOX is "fair and balanced" really need to take a deep look inside themselves. RawOysters: MSNBC became left-wing, and frankly - it was needed... rather than just news vs. extreme right-wing fox. But a big difference is that fox constantly changes stories, quotes, edits videos, and changes its position on any subject to fit their agenda. Example: they blamed Obama for high gas prices, but they didn't praise him when it went down to $3... nor do they seem to remember their own statements saying "The President cannot control the price of gas" - that was in 2008.[/citation]
personally I didn't see a single person on this site defending FOX. Just because we hate NBC ABC CNN etc, does not mean that we 'enjoy' fox news. Every news channel sucks (sigh, reminds me of the old 'every OS sucks' song from back in the day). period. without question. end of story. MS getting out of the traditional news business and starting their own sounds like great news to me. If just one of these organizations were to present 'the whole story' of any story, then I would gladly start following the news again.
As it is now I follow a handful of tech sites, and a smaller handful of finance sites for my news. On that rare occasion that I do want/need general news I go to CNN, because at least they typically present the facts before smothering it in bias, but even they are shoddy at best.
