Opinion of the "mainstream" media

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Very negative for me.

[opebo]

Negative.  Too right leaning.

[Ebowed]

Negative.  CNN, MSNBC, and Fox are all rightwing, as are a lot of newspapers.  I do notice one big exception, however.  Most media outlets, except Fox, have a very liberal view on abortion, and it comes out in their reporting.

Well that at least is some comfort.

[A18]

I didn't vote, but very negative. I don't like left-wing extremists running stories about forged documents to try to tip an election to the Democrats.

[J.R. Brown]

I thought their were clear biases in different directions from different news organizations. Example: Conservative leaning Fox News called Ohio for Bush 13 Hours before the Liberal leaning CNN. I thought MSNBC was the only balanced news organiztion. Scarborough on the right and Matthews on the left.

[Richard]

Very negative (except of Fox, which I'm slightly positive).  And they rooted for Kerry, except Fox, which was fair and balanced.

And FNC got it right, while the liberal networks were left calling it way to late. They didn't call it until way after the ballots were counted and reported and not until after Kerry conceded.  They lost bigtime.

[J.R. Brown]

Very negative (except of Fox, which I'm slightly positive).  And they rooted for Kerry, except Fox, which was fair and balanced.

Fox isn't fair and balanced. You may think they are because of you conservative ideology. But there is an obvious conservative bias at Fox and an obvious liberal bias at CNN. Who on Fox is fair and balanced? Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reily, Neil Cavuto. I don't know anymore. Name some liberals on Fox if you'd like.

[Cashcow]

Negative. They're all whores for meaningless stories (e.g. Scott Peterson). I think that trial got more coverage last year than the war in Iraq.

except Fox, which was fair and balanced.

What percentage of the vote had been counted? 25%, 50%, It was way too close their to call it that early. CNN was just being cautious, to they wouldn't make the mistakes they did in 2000.

[Bono]

Very negatie, and yes, that includes Fox. Redneck neo-cons are not better in any way than liberals.

Colmes should wear lipstick.

FoxNews is so on top of thinks, they reported the pope dead a day before he died, Florida for Bush 36 days before the SCOTUS ruled for him, and so on.

Obvious liberal bias for CNN? Are you kidding? Calling $50,000+ a year chump change indicates a conservative bias to me.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

How any can claim the "mainstream" media is liberal is beyond me. Even the NY Times was for the war in Iraq, and not questioning the WMD claims.  f**ck the NY TImes and the rest of them.

[John Dibble]

Negative, as they always have to spin the facts to fit their agenda.

He's the only one and he's weak.

So did CNN and MSNBC.  Everyone cited that AP report.  You seem to like to ignore that fact.

FoxNews said Pope died
CNN said Pope may have died, waiting for confirmation
MSNBC said Pope ill

[Moooooo]

So the MSNBC report I saw on my own television citing the AP report that Italian news agencies were reporting the Pope was dead never happened?

Riiiiiight.

[Ebowed]

Alan Colmes is not liberal.  He stated he was moderate before the show got off the ground.  It was only when Hannity became such a loud-mouth that, by default, Colmes had to spew the liberal line.  Hannity is a true conservative (and a very obnoxious one); Colmes is a polite, nice guy, but he's no liberal.

[J.R. Brown]

I think the only person on Fox who doesn't really have a political bias is Gretta Van Susteran.
