Now to the sane Fox News defender. Some of their reporters work for The Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is a Republican leaning newspaper.. There is no surprise there. If they work for the New York Times, or Washington Post, now you have something to point to. You know that these reporters have to look at both sides of an argument. They would also have to get their articles by the editors at these two newspapers.
B. Hume and B. Baer are two excellent reporters. The Five has both progressive, and conservative views. They do, but not in equal proportion. There are four Republicans, and one Democrat. Apparently dividing by two is a problem to hard for Fox News to solve. How is 80%, 20% fair or balanced? The Democrat is constantly being constantly being shouted down from several sides at once. How is that fair or balanced? Does the Democrat get to chose what is being discussed 50% of the time? Probably not. Again how is that fair or balanced? The Five is hardly the gold standard for fair and balanced reporting.
What is the age breakdown of Fox News viewers. Aren't most of them over 50 ears old. Concerning the other stations, maybe the younger viewers are just plain fed up with what is going on in Washington, and not watching the news at all. Who could blame them? Ed Shultz, and Al Sharpton (bigot of all bigots) should not be on the air. If MSNBC is losing viewers because of these two, that makes complete sense.
Who determines what a scandal is? Benghazi is a good example. How many congressional hearing have there been on Benghazi, five? These hearings are no longer about the families of the slain Americans. They are a political attack on Hillary Clinton. How many hearing were there on the Iraq war? Four thousand Americans lost their lives there. What about their families?
President Obama is being attacked on a daily basis by more than a few Fox News reporters. Why not swing back.? What is he, Jesus Christ, so he has to turn the other cheek? They have called him every name in the book, socialist, community organizer (like that is something bad), Kenyan, liar, liar, liar, racist, communist, and dictator wannabe. He probably isn't let Afro grow out, because a crown doesn't look good on an Afro.
In your praise I noticed that you didn't mention the two male reporters on Fox and friends. The president referred to these two as potted plants. That shoe really fits. these two always have a dumbfounded look on their faces.
If you really want to see the fair and balanced news station at its finest goggle "Fox News Hypocrisy".
