The Media Is Lefty

[GostHacked]

Fox's gets a bad rap. A few bad apples there, that have no problem showing their completely unabashed support of Bush, are all people see when they think Fox.

If all you saw of CNN was Lou Dobbs, you'd be ready to call them the Communist News Network.

I don't personally like watching Fox because their views are much like mine. I can't stand watching things I agree with, what the hell is the point. I'd much rather watch CBC where I can see and understand the other side of the issue.

I'd recommend some of those on the left do the same by watching some Fox and seeing where the others come from.

Isolating yourself among only those that agree with you is sure to lead to a stagnation of your arguments.

I try to read their website, but it is very very hard on the eyes. And I do not have cable TV.

That's why I come here. I don't agree with anyone.

Hey, I'm conservative in Canada - I don't think that's a danger for me

It's different. Not just because it leans to the right. It's different in other ways. Cool graphics. Seems faster-paced. The best looking women in news. Pro-USA in the war. Gives airtime for interviews with parents of troops who support the war--a rarity in the rest of the MSM. Lets the Bush administration give its side of the story during the latest "controversy". Neil Cavuto and Bill O'Reilly allow themselves to be insulted by some of the viewer mail they get. A couple of weeks ago, an email from a progressive liberal called O'Reilly's show The Fascist (instead of O'Reilly) Factor. Fox News shines a light on the ugly side of the left--again a rarity in the rest of the MSM.

When they go to a live report, there is a tiny US flag waving in the top LH corner, which makes many on the left seethe.

Their actual news isn't much different than the other channels (a lot comes from the news services--AP, Reuters, etc), but it tends to be more balanced. They show both sides more often than the rest of the MSM.

There are more rightwing hosts/anchors than leftwing hosts/anchors, but their panels are almost always evenly balanced.

Their hosts/anchors/pundits aren't afraid to go one-on-one with anyone. You see Democrats losing their cool because they are not used to being challenged by the media. You see Democrats being embarrassed. Some are scared to go on the FNC. O'Reilly has been calling out Howard Dean for months and Alec Baldwin won't go on Hannity's radio show.

It's not only different, but very good and entertaining. Nowhere on network/cable TV do you get such a diversity of opinion as on the FNC. It's easy to see why it is so wildly successful in the US.

It.is.just.different.

Greta van Sustern? Oh wait, you probably think Ann Coulter is hot.

Greta isn't that good looking IMO.
