I took out the sexual reference to Bush. This is a family site. If you are going to vandalize, at least restrain your language. --[[User:Octaviohpaz|Octaviohpaz]] 17:25, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

The discussion about Hannity and Colmes doesn't belong in this article. If you feel compelled to write about this, go to their article and write it in the discussion page.--[[User:Octaviohpaz|Octaviohpaz]] 17:28, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

I don't see how the attack on Israel contributes to this article. I erased it. --[[User:Octaviohpaz|Octaviohpaz]] 17:33, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

I modified the last sentence. Typical liberal bias.--[[User:Octaviohpaz|Octaviohpaz]] 17:44, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

Is a citation ''from'' Fox News saying that Fox News is fair and balanced really a good idea?
I would think that it would be more appropriately said as "Fox News claims to be fair and balanced," or something along those lines.
Anyone disagree?

Yes - Fox News is obviously sympathetic to conservative views, as is all of Rupert Murdoch's empire.  To suggest otherwise is absurd and makes a mockery of this whole project.  How can a news network be "unbiased" yet not attack Bush as a matter of policy?  It doesn't make sense.  Of course they have some "liberal" views expressed, but this is not the same as "fair and balanced reporting".  It is what it is, and it is very successful, but let's be honest about what it is - isn't honesty supposed to be a virtue?

*I disagree. One of the ways Fox News attempts to be fair and balanced is by inviting guests from both sides of the issue. Personally I would prefer to only hear from conservatives, but Fox News has both sides. Hannity and Colmes is a great example of a Fair and Balanced show - Sean is the Conservative and Alan is the liberal (and proud of it). [[User:Crocoite|Dean]] 17:28, 7 March 2007 (EST)
**What other programs do they air that feature both sides of the political spectrum?<br>Regardless, Colmes is quite overshadowed by the rapacious Hannity. -[[User:Commodore Guff|Commodore Guff]] 14:41, 8 March 2007 (EST)

I think this entire article could use an overhaul.  Although I am a supporter of Fox News, the bias in this article in very apparent.  --[[User:David R|&lt;&lt;-David R-&gt;&gt;]] 15:25, 7 March 2007 (EST)
*I disagree.  If there's any bias in this article, it's toward conservatism and the Truth, which was the whole purpose of Conservapedia in the first place!  --[[User:Ashens|Ashens]] 16:44, 7 March 2007 (EST)
:*Well it does have a very obvious bias.  You are right in saying that Conservapedia has a point of view to impose.  But the srticle goes beyond the point of view of Conservapedia.  
:Take this example from the article: "Fox News is best because instead of just telling you what to think, they only report the news unbiased and then allow the viewer to decide."
:#Even though I may think it is a fact that Fox News is the best, it is merely my opinion.
:#This sentence and others are worded as if they were written by a 1st grader - read after comma to see what I mean.
:The point is the article must be written over again to present a factual, encyclopedia-worthy article.  --[[User:David R|&lt;&lt;-David R-&gt;&gt;]] 16:56, 7 March 2007 (EST) 
**If one news source tells you what to think (as any of the leftist mainstream media stations do) and another just reports the facts in a fair and unbiased manner, then clearly the second news source is superior, by definition! --[[User:Ashens|Ashens]] 17:00, 7 March 2007 (EST)
***Every source has a bias.  Fox News is no exception.

True.  Didn't even notice the "Sean Hannity is a great American" statement at first, which I think is safe to say is an opinion.  Also, the reference points to an outdated car giveaway. Doesn't seem like it belongs.

I think the link for the first reference needs to be changed.  It is used as a citation for Fox News saying it is Fair and Balanced, but the link only goes to a page with employment opportunities.

::Even as a pretty conservative person, I will admit Fox News has a definite conservative bias. I'm not faulting them for this, but the media inherently has a bias. That's why having so many different news sources is such a good thing. Nevertheless, it's not just "liberals" that think Fox News is biased. [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 14:49, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
