According to Conservative Commentator Stephen Colbert

Fox News and the Republican Party have plans for an all-white wedding.

And, why would a company that pretends to provide "news" give money to Republican candidates?

According to the courts, that is legal.

ruveyn

The million bucks that Fox News gave to the Republican Governor's Organization had to be reported. But, what about their in-kind contribution of non-stop cheerleading for the Republican party? Shouldn't that also be reported as an in-kind contribution?

And, what other news media outlet actually gives away millions of dollars in cash to political causes?

More like which one hasn't, the real question should be which one has the honesty to report it.

Okay. Which other media outlets have given millions of dollars away to Republican causes?

I wasn't saying they were donating to Republicans, I'm saying they were giving to Democrats. The idea that most of the media has a Conservative bias is rather ridiculous, they have a liberal bias.

No, they're mostly conservative in their bias. Fox News is just plain ridiculous. How much money did they give to Democrats, then?

No, I didn't lose the argument. I won. And, see? The "mainstream media" did not give millions of dollars to the Democrats.

They were only about 1,000 volunteer press secretaries.

Anyways, PEW Research found some information in 2008 that torpedos your statements.

Looks like Fox News actually did have the most balanced coverage of the bunch. :lol:

Did you read your article?

on the nightly newscasts of ABC, CBS and NBC, coverage tends to be more neutral and generally less negative than elsewhere.

Yes, and you apparently didn't look at the graphs which contradicted that quote.

If you had looked at the actual data you would know that the left wing PEW research was lieing about the results of their data.

More like you didn't bother to read the article.

Here is an example of something that sounds dubious at best:
The distinct tone of MSNBC—more positive toward Democrats and more negative toward Republicans—was not reflected in the coverage of its broadcast sibling, NBC News. Even though it has correspondents appear on their cable shows and even anchor some programs on there, the broadcast channel showed no such ideological tilt. Indeed, NBC’s coverage of Palin was the most positive of any TV organization studied, including Fox News.
http://www.journalism.org/node/13436

I put the part that shows they are lieing through their teeth in bold.

Anyways here is another nice little tidbit:

Compared to their coverage of Obama

If you look at the negative coverage

Negative 40 for McCain and 40 for Obama
Neutral 38 for McCain and 35 for Obama
Positive was 22 for McCain and 25 for Obama

I'll let you look at how the media in general did and you'll see that Pew Research Center inadvertantly showed they are not very credible anymore, and that Fox News was actually the least biased of the bunch cause they did their best to play it right down the middle.

I would recommend you heed your own advice, cause it looks like you aren't thinking things through.

Spamming something that is an example of how Pew isn't being entirely honest, really doesn't help your case JakobVirgil.

they are saying the Nightly broadcast news i.e. local news tends to be less biased, less ideological
as well as giving its viewers the lowest scores on news quizzes followed by Fox news watchers.
This is true.
