Okay, MSNBC is left of center. I listen to Progress Radio on satellite radio as well as the Patriot radio. CNN is a little bit left of center, but nothing like Fox radio is to the right. Nothing is so hateful to me as Rush and his legions of ditto heads, and other far right personalities.

After some TEa Party rally in Washington DC. Fox put out an ad claiming that none of the other networks or cable new outlets covered it, including CNN. A photo of the rally was used in a full-page aid Faux used to make this claim
A CNN anchor noted that CNN actually devoted more time to the event and actually traveled with some of those coming from out West to the event.
And Faux used a CNN file photo for their photo in the ad claiming CNN and the others didn't cover the event.
The CNN anchor said: "We covered it. Most news media covered it. We didn't promote it like Fox did. That's the difference."
Faux lies and lies frequently. Even when caught at their lies, they deny it. It is less a news media outlet than the propaganda arm of the far-rhgt fringe of the Republican Party.
In a interview with Jon Stewart, Fox "news" man chris Matthews made a telling commit. "We tell the other side. of the story."
Other side? I thought Faux was "fair and balanced."????
And repeated polls have shown the Faux "News" viewers are wrong about basic information, sort of like a special ed civics class.
Strangely, viewers of comedy shows like Stewarts and Colberts fair much better is a basic news quiz.
I've seen that right here on this forum. One hyper-right poster claimed that amending the Constitution would allow term limits to be imposed on state and municipal judges and other non-federal elected officials. Not true.
Or the canard that "Fox is number one in the nation."
Faux is number one in cable news channels. Network news, CBS and ABC, each have a viewing audience larger each broadcast than all cable channels combined.
When the comedians come through with the truth more often than "fair and balanced" maybe the "fair and balanced" ain't so fair and balanced. More like : "Throw it against the wall and se what sticks."
