Well, has MSNBC ever changed the party affiliation of scandal ridden democrats to make them appear like they were republicans?

Well, it says on the back of my Evil Liberal Club membership card that I'm required to say that Fox is. I believe that MSNBC broadcasts a conservative commentator, don't they? Whereas I don't see Fox ever doing that. Fox can be a bit obvious in its bias, as with the apparently accidental multiple mislabeling of Republicans as Democrats when a scandal strikes.

EDIT: Curse you, Neo!

No, there the same. Olbermann just seems worse because youre a right winger. Trust me, they are both as bad as each eother.

I agree. I dislike both and sometimes Olberman can be as bad as Limbaugh.

From what little I know, (I'm English) they both seem biased and partisan. Keith Olbermann's a dick, Sean Hannity's a dick, etc etc.

I ... I'm not sure I get that but whatever. I have to say, at least with Fox you know what you're going to get. They do set a baseline for things, in a way.

It's blatantly obvious you don't watch the channel, quit spouting off about something you are obviously not informed on.

Right, and you are an "impartial vote"? Give it a rest already. We all know you are a far-left poster, claiming impartiality is just plain ludicrous.

I can't stand either, but Olbermann is a bit more accurate and less of a douche than O'reilly.

As for FOX and MSNBC...they're both very biased. Not sure which one is moreso, though.

Considering the fact that a majority (if not all) the left-leaning posters have said Fox while all the right-leaning posters have said MSNBC I'd have to say that it is a pretty good indication that they are pretty much equally biased.

I can't judge since I watch neither.

Right, and you are an "impartial vote"? Give it a rest already. We all know you are a far-left poster, claiming impartiality is just plain ludicrous.

Except I never made any claims except Bill O'Reilly is a liar (which he demonstrably is) and Fox News' primary avenue of shows is right-wing commentator assholes.

Well ... since Fox basically admitted in court that the 1st Amendment means they don't have to have journalistic standards and can knowingly lie, conceal and distort information on air. That was what, 2003? when Jane Akre's charge that she was pressured by Fox TV to air what she knew and was documented to be false information was reversed by a Florida Appeals court.

I'm gonna go with Fox.

I get most of my news online.

I'm not fond of both, if they have a story I'm interested in, I won't be biased and not read them.

However, I'll immediately go to an independent source, a vlog, blog, independent journalist, and so forth to check up on it.

Basically, even though I use Fox and MSNBC as first step news sources, a good 80%+ of my actual news comes from online sourcess, independent sources, truthful sources.

You know, what real news used to be.
Part of me grew up here. But part of growing up is leaving parts of ourselves behind.
