Fox Fires Intern for Revealing the Bias We All Know They Have

Fox News, or as I prefer to call it, Faux News, fired an intern for revealing the bias we all have toward the GOP. As MSNBC's Don Abrams said, she apparently did not get the memo that said that on Faux News, "you are supposed to pretend you are fair and balanced."

Fox is the most fair and balanced news source on television. They report both the good and bad about all stories, and that is why I watch them. It appears as if MSNBC is a bit jealous and a tad bitter about getting absolutely destroyed in the ratings by Fox News and losing 3/4 of their viewer ship at the same time. Maybe they could try something like telling the truth for once.

LOL! I agree that FOX tends to lean right, some of the players leaning farther than others. But MSNBC is getting all bent out of shape after they've been salivating over Obama during this whole campaign? After Chris Matthews says he gets "a thrill running up his leg" listening to Obama? Good grief...

I don't necessarily think the Headline is correct...she didn't necessarily reveal the bias of FOXNEWS; she revealed her personal choice, which is likely against the code of conduct.

I believe the only way to get fair cable TV news is to watch the right leaning FOX and the left leaning MSNBC.
I will tell you that even though FOX is right of the middle, MSNBC, CNN, ABC and NBC are all to the left of the middle further than FOX is right. For the liberals that scream free speech it is funny to hear them cry about FOX and talk radio.
The left owns more media and newspaper than the right. George Soros. Need I say more. He has his money in all of the channels above but Fox. He also controls 2 of the candidates running for President.

You are probably thinking Kieth Olbermann...he's a left-wing hack and that's fine, but I hate it when leftists refuse to admit that most news sources are left-leaning. It's a fact. As far as FOX goes, they are indeed the most fair. At least they present both sides of an argument rather than ONLY the liberal side. Anyone who is right-leaning is on an "opinion" or editorial broadcast....when delivering hard news they are objective and non-biased.

Notice how this made news because it is right leaning?
Of course you are bias if you don't agree with me ... that should be the slogan for the left!

I don't think MSNBC claims to be "fair and balance" do they?

FauxNews should not say anything, instead of lying about being "fair and balanced".

I think we can all except that that's not the case.

Take a nap. And I think you're hyper-ventilating.

I think you can find fans of Bush and McCain on Faux just as Olberman support Obamam on MSNBC.

Lets not complain about attributes of MSNBC that you allow for FauxNews. That would make you sound like a hypocrit.

This lady was a production assistant, not an intern. Reading the story, I don't see where she admitted anything than a personal bias in favor of John McCain. To call Fox in the corner of Conservatives without pointing out the Liberal bias of CNN, MSNBC, ABC etc, is intellectually dishonest.

Bye the way, so much for the editors of this forumn being non-biased; right Iria. This is just a liberal hit piece picked up by some left-wing editor out to make Fox look like the bad guys.

Sounds like this FauxNews story is bothering you. Bushbots always strike out at others when a fault of thier own is exposed.
