Answer 1

PBS is the closest thing to being fair and balanced.

The Daily Show gets an A for effort.  They try to equally make fun of both sides, but they end up picking on Republicans more than Democrats (though they do pick on Democrats too).

Some would argue it's easier to make fun of Republicans, but that's up to debate.

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Ask MSNBC   Whatta bunch of objective guys and Keith Olberman, another Cronkite in my judgement.

Ya gotta remember that the Daily Show is a bunch of Lefites too

Answer 4

The media need not concern itself with fairness or balance.  It should concern itself with the truth.  A concept long lost on the "conservative" media.

I like this video.  I saw it the other day it really highlights how hypocritical cons are.

Answer 5

KEEP IN MIND....

Fox has CONSERVATIVE people, AND Liberal people.

They ARE fair and balanced, but you may not realize this if the only show you pay attention to is one of the Conservative shows.

The other media outlets have NO attempt to be "fair and balanced".... and frankly, we'd be happy with EITHER... fair OR balanced.

Networks like MSNBC, CBS, NBC..... they are CLEARLY in the tank for Obama.

Answer 6

As an Independent that likes to look @ both sides of any issue, I think that they are -oddly enough, Conservatives seem to be open to new/different perspectives, and giving them their voice (even though they might disagree) while w/the Liberal mainstream media establishment (MSNBC, CNN, etc) once you voice a perspective different from their own -you're open to immediate attacks.
