FNC admits conervative leanings and doesn't try to hide that, unlike the liberal media (thrill up their legs) trying to present themselves as simply reporting on the news (whatever THEY deem newsworthy). On the FNC News segments, you are more likely to have both sides represented in a story, providing they can get opposing viewpoints to try and defend indefensible positions. Why would FNC viewership and conservative talk radio be thriving, while Air America, after massive infusions of cash, goes south and liberal media is fading. Even the FNC opinion segments are balanced. Several hosts are admittedly liberal in their philosophy but look at all sides of the issue and try to present a balanced debate. Opinions SHOULD be formed using ALL the facts, not just a selected few, that you agree on. When buying a house, for instance, ONE fact is, your mortgage payment is ONLY $700/mo. ALL of the facts, about living there, means it may cost you $2300/mo. BIG difference!
