Question

Is Fox News really "Fair & Balanced" as it claims to be?

Answer 1

Not really.

Answer 2

NO

Answer 3

Fox News is the National Inquirer of TV.  Watching Sean, Bill, Ann and rest of Fox opinion gang they can hardly be called fair and balanced.

Answer 4

Of course not. They even stoop so low as using subliminal messgaing in their newscasts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSAOQuLxS...

Answer 5

every news channel claims that

Answer 6

Just as fair as Pravda ever was in it's balanced coverage of the goings on in the USSR. So, no...not at all.

Answer 7

the only thing that's "fair and balanced" is that fat check they get from the government for swaying the facts in their favor.

Answer 8

They put both sides of an issue on and they give both sides a chance to make their point so for the most part yes.

Answer 9

I don't think any news station is out to be fair or balanced, or acting on peoples concerns. I don't care about Brittany s*x life or what celebrity is pregnant. I wan to see the stories that show the soldiers helping kids in the war zone and what good they are actually not just a body count.

Answer 10

Forget about what they think of themselves.

Listen to the news.

Answer 11

Yes, yes it is...

Answer 12

Go to MSNBC news and CNN and try to hear two good words about Hillary Clinton they are so left you can't even hear good stuff about a Dem. thats kinda in the middle its a sad sad day when you have to hear good things about her on Fox news.....so Yes they are the fairest...but in this day and age thats really not saying much.

Answer 13

No, it really isn't. Most news is somewhat skewed. However Fox News is nowhere near fair and balanced....or accurate, or reliable, or trustworthy, or honest, or....well you get the point.

Answer 14

no lol

Answer 15

Ouch.  My sides hurt from laughing.

No, Fox News is Rupert Murdoch's attempt to sway American politics to conform to his twisted view.

As good a reason as any for it to be against the law for foreigners to own media outlets.  They have done more harm to public discourse than any other phenomena in my lifetime.  They have made it okay to shout, scream and interrupt your opponent in a debate.

Fox (and all their "reporters") should be banned from the airwaves.

Answer 16

No, TV network is as "fair and balanced" as they claim to be.  For instance, the word "programming"...they (TV stations as a whole) tell us what is important and how to feel about it.  If you ever want to watch an impartial TV news...watch the BBC (look in your cable guide to find your station...)

Answer 17

At least they aren't the suck Obama's **** network like CNN and MSNBC
