As if there was any doubt about the right wing bias of Fox News, there is this recent article about Kerry's speech on Iraq. That included this line from the un-named reporter:
Although reporters took turns asking Kerry what his plan for Iraq entailed and how he would have done things differently, the Massachusetts senator did not give a solid answer.
What about giving me the facts and letting me decide? Oh, wait, that was the old Fox, now that the Old Media is gone, the New Media (Fox) no longer has to play at being fair and balanced.
Posted by jherr at September 21, 2004 07:32 PMIs there a major media outlet that would just give you the facts? I don't ask to be a smart ass, I ask to be true and fair. I can think of no media outlet that doesn't impart it's own views, or at least that of it's reporters, when it presents stories. This would include my local stations as well as national broadcasts, CNN, Fox, MSNBC and all those other letter stations.
It seems to me that by the very nature of reporting a story, that only a few facts can be presented at any given time. We are never given the whole story with which to make our own opinions. We must seek out additional information--and frankly, even then, I don't believe we get the whole story.
