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".

Dear Guest: If you read the Wall Street Journal and I have since 1978 you would find that their focus is on anything that affect the economy. In plain English I have seen them take both Democrats and Republicans to task . But I am not here to defend the WSJ. As to the Washington Post and the New York Times as I recollect they have had more than their fair share of journalist who have been proven to falsify their stories
If you were also honest with yourself you would have acknowledged that Obama is such a egotistical personality that unless you agree with him your on his enemies list. But what is lost on you is that the reason he strike back is because they keep catching him with his hands in the cookie jar.
You make reference to the age of Fox viewers and that begs the question do you have an age bias? And haven't you heard from enough alternative sources that many young people have been so disengaged that they have no idea how our government operates who runs our government etc etc etc
If you pay attention to The Five format you would recognize that liberal panel members get to participate in the planning of each day's format.
You reference what and who defines a scandal and claim for instance that Benghazi is just being politicized by the Republicans. But with every Obama Admin scandal the same approach is undertaken deny stall demonize make light of it. Obama Team are artful dodgers but the real credit goes to the liberal media who justify the means and let Obama 's Teams malfeasance go uncheck. There is a ring of truth to the IRS scandal, Benghazi, Clinton Charitable Foundation and Clintons intentionally destroying e-mails from her personal server to hide embarrassing and damaging facts about her Benghazi and her Foundation and the news media and people like you are complicit . Why does Obama & company continue to block such investigation if they have nothing to hide? Doesn't Occam Razor suggest that the simplest explanation is the most likely?
The non sequitur statements about Fox News again is a straw man/woman argument because Fox News is the only news outlet that has said out loud the emperor has no clothes
Personal Best Regards:
