Is it Con's contention that Fox News isn't bias to the right?

Question

I know MSNBC and Huffington Post are bias to the left but Fox News viewers claim Fox News isn't bias to the right.

Answer 1

Fox News is not centrist. They are conservative. Fox News has always been more opinionated than not. There was a Pew Research Poll that showed the Fox News is more opinionated than factual, and they were even beat out by CNN in factual reporting. I think that says something.

Answer 2

Nope, the lean right and will gladly tell you that they do so. For the past five years, actually more. Multiple research groups or organizations, have tracked each of the major networks stories, how many minutes, the slants, ect.. Fox consistently comes out closer to being balanced then any of the others with CNN, believe it or not. coming in second. MSNBC has now more then 85% of their programing falling under entertainment as opposed to news.

Answer 3

An external polling situation says about bias concluded. Fox News - Right 56% Left 44% / CNN Left 53% Right 47% / MSNBC Right 32% Left 68% ... So your argument is wrong Fox News is as about right leaning and as CNN is about as left leaning in its news coverage,

Answer 4

FOX news is more of an opinionated/entertainment network then they are about news..



I have watched CNN once or twice, was not impressed.. I have never seen MSNBC. I don't really enjoy the 24/7 opinion networks..where they just repeat the same story or theme all day long.

Answer 5

All of them are biased. Only thing is, the left media is so extreme they don't make money. They have to be supported. Fox is the only news media making money. Huffington Post lost $150 million last year and is barely hanging on.

Answer 6

Fox News is bias to the neo conservative political zionist Trotskyists who are war mongers promoting fascist expansion and dominance from the military industrial complex into a national police state much like nazi Germany, which isn't the real right wing and isn't much different then what the liberals right now are doing.

Answer 7

They're fair and balanced...... not nearly as biased as some other networks. It's now become popular for liberals to rip Fox, when they probably haven't even watched the network other than edited clips they see on the Daily Show or the Colbert Report...... both of whom wouldn't even exist today if it weren't for Fox, they're both a ripoff of O'reilly

Answer 8

I haven't seen anyone say that Fox News is not biased. They are less bias than the left believes, but that's because liberals use MSDNC as a reference point from "center"



I have seen 1000x more accuse Fox of "Lying", while never providing proof.



Liberals see bias that leans there way as - bias

Liberals see bias that leans right as - lying

Answer 9

The right is usually right on many issues, except gay marriages. Gay Marriages should be legalized. The Left is usually wrong on many things, such as blaming Bush for everything that goes wrong and the left are terrible at running businesses. They think paying more money for less people to work will some how boost the economy, which makes 0 sense seeing how that puts more people out of work.

Answer 10

what I claim is that Fox News is "fair and balanced", and I suppose to a hard core Leftie such as yourself that may very well seem to be a bias to the right

Answer 11

Fox uses the journalistic techniques of Mother Jones, a left publication nobody takes seriously and laughs at.

All the while screaming the major networks are "biased and lying" when they have perfected those techniques themselves.

Answer 12

Yes they are but not as bad as MSNBC and Huffington are to the left

Answer 13

You watch it more than I do so tell me.



Its odd how you think we get all of our info from Fox News when I don't watch any TV news at all.



And I get really sick of being accused of watching Fox every day by morons that have nothing but lame talking points.

Answer 14

Their claim to fair and balanced must be that they lie only half the time. I wish I could say that they tell the truth half the time but I have not witnessed it.

Answer 15

Faux News is not "biased to the right".

Faux News LIES to push the agenda of the Right.
