Tucker Carleson and Rich Lowry are objective, and day time talk. However, not the talk shows at night.

BRTD this forum is filled with liberals.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to guess that an overhwhelming majority of people are going to vote that Fox has an obvious conservative bias.

Padfoot,

The forum used to be pretty balanced before the lefties here began a concerted compaign of harassment against moderate and conservative posters.
A lot of reasonable people have either left or taken a sabatical while the lefties conduct their attempted purge.

LOL.
The reason a lot of "conservative posters" have taken a "sabbatical" over the last 2 years is because they are embarrassed to comment about their idiot president that has an "R" next to his name. Period. They are so proud of themselves (and their party), that they cannot say anything negative about the Orange Clown. But there are some "moderate and conservative posters" who are completely disgusted with the trash occupying the WH, and they have stuck-around and are showing their complete displeasure with the current situation our nation is in. Hell, some have even left the GOP.
So don't come here with your tears blaming the "lefties campaign of harassment." Grow some!
And if the kitchen is too hot for you, stay out permanently.

When there is some national-level (political) breaking news, MSNBC and CNN immediately display this as "News" on all their outlets. And most of the time, their current live discussion changes to discuss this immediately. This is what a "legitimate news source" should do, regardless if the disclosure and news helps the left or right.

Fox News does NOT do this. They either deliberately hide the story on the "second page" or don't disclose it at all. And even worse, when the breaking news happens, their 24-hour news channel would rather discuss ancient stories like "Hillary's emails," than discuss the important story that all other major channels are doing.

This has been pointed out, here on Atlas, over and over and over again, when major political breaking news happens.

Outside of Shepard Smith, Chad Pergram, and to a lesser extent Chris Wallace, heck NO!

As for Fox Business, it's not a reliable source for business news.

Wow. It turns out Republicans have been projecting their fascism (and everything else) onto others since BEFORE Trump. I was still in high school the day this was posted. I guess Trump just made it more noticeable.

I wouldnt be surprised if this was 2007 you would have written the same thing but about Dubya instead of Trump. The left hated Dubya just as much as they hated Trump and in some ways even more intensely

Sorry, but I didn't hate Dubya more than trump. Not even remotely close .... at all!
From all the presidents that I personally recall since following politics in high school (Reagan), this is the only president that I have ever referred to as an a$$hole, and probably will be the only president in my life-time, that I would ever need to do that.
I have respect for The Office, and would normally never say such a thing about our president. But this Moron your side put in, is beyond anything imaginable.

It's straight reporting is objective enough. It won't get caught in lies on such things. The last whopper that I caught it on was announcing prematurely the death of Pope John Paul II, and it took back the story as would a legitimate news source.  When FoX News Channel starts analysis of the news or brings up tired stories to denounce Democrats it might as well have the sobriquet "FoX Newspeak Channel". At that it is as bad as Pravda was in its heyday with an unduly-sunny view of its side and  an unduly-bleak view of the other side.

The only valid reason to watch or read news is to be informed. Disinformation is even worse than humble ignorance.

OK -- so do foreign media cite FoX News? Almost never in democratic countries. Heck, Chinese state media are far more trustworthy on matters not in China than is FoX News.  To be sure, American broadcast news is much more splintered than broadcast news from other countries.

I will say Fox's online content isn't any worse than any of the other major American news sites. Their TV content, however,  is roughly on par with Dabiq or Inspire.

A legitimate news source is objective and the natl news follows this. Conservative Fox deliberately, breaks objectivity and helps GOP, by putting on Karl Rove and Sean Hannity: who targetted the Clintons with impeachment in 1997 and Hilary with Email deama.

Whereas MSNBC reported it and it wasnt slanted
