Level up: 15%, 86 Points needed | | But Fox gave us MUCH more coverage of Ana Nicole Smith than the other so-called "news" channels. They keep their fingers on the public pulse.

The days of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite reporting the news with journalistic integrity are long over. Nowadays, it is all about ratings.What you stated, Antithesis, was the real story here. The story that was not about ratings, but about real news. Journalism (television and print) really needs an overhaul today. | |

Level up: 53%, 72 Points needed | | Many of the stories you see on Fox you don't see on the other channels. Furthermore, many of the stories pointed out by you link have been aired on the other channels.
See a trend here????? News hound watches Fox for you, and then gives you the news from the Washington Post, New York Times and other Main Stream and not so main stream news sources.
Since the stories are in the media, and Fox is the only one carrying these other stories, seems to come out balanced doesn't it??

Level up: 16%, 71 Points needed | | In my opinion there are a lot of negatives in watching just one news source. Indeed, I feel if I watch, listen, or read to only mainstream news media there's a lot of news I'm not receiving.
From what I've experienced, Fox is heavily biased towards the republican side of the argument, but then I've seen some examples on Fox that would not necessarily indicate a total bias.
Much of the news, mainstream or otherwise, seems heavily opinionated. I'd prefer to just have the facts and be allowed to form my own opinion.
Also, there's an awful lot of news that I feel is under reported or not reported at all. But then, this is my personal bias, which if I had control of the media, would be reflected in the reporting on that media.
jaaaman's solution would seem to be one alternative. | |

Also, for accuracy's sake, I do wish the media (not only FOX) spend a little more time and effort on verification. | |
