    Seriously? Exactly how hard did you look? Because if you type "fox news editing" into Google, the first link gives you a whole series of Youtube examples. It would have taken all of about 12 seconds of research.

    I consider myself slightly left of center, and I freely admit CNN is left-leaning, and MSNBC is very left-leaning.

    Can any of you conservatives on the board admit that Fox is very right-leaning?

    Fox News: Fair like a rigged card game, and balanced like the slope of Roger Ailes' forehead.

    Let's not forget Fox's slobknobbery of breitbart, the master of selective editing.

    Fox News clearly has a conservative point of view. However, in my opinion, Fox is the most UNBIASED out of CNN and MSNBC. I was watching Fox the other day and they had Paul Ryan debating some other scrub. The moderator was asking questions in a balanced manner. He asked Ryan to challenge what the other guy said, and then asked the other guy to challenge what Ryan said. It was that type of format. I think where people get the notion that Fox News is extremely biased is via, what I call the Fox News Dynamic Duo, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly. If you watch the last few minutes of Shephard Smith on the week days, at the end of the telecast, he will say "I'm Shephard Smith and the Opinion and Analysis part of the evening is up next with Bill O'Reilly." So that's my take on it, your free to have your own opinions. This is just another point of view, and I happen to think it is correct, but your entitled to your beliefs as well.

    It has been scientifically proven that watching cable news makes your (used correctly!) testicles shrink.

    I, for one, love my testicles and do not want them to be shrinkified. As a result of this love, I try to minimize all viewing and any references as much as possible. I fear that simply posting in this thread has put me a little at risk, but I was willing to take the hit in an attempt to help my fellow man.

    This is the key point for me. Whatever bias they have isn't changing people's own views, but it changes the subject of almost everyone's arguments. This can be even more powerful.

    This.

    I like aggregate news sources such as Google News.

    CNN, MSNBC and Fox News all have women that are easy on the eyes...other than that they're almost worthless.

    Totally agree. Fox News is complete trash. MSNBC is unwatchable. CNN is useful only on election nights and sometimes during major global or national events.

    The only thing I regularly watch live on TV is football and basketball. Everything else is DVRed.

    Here's the famous one of FOX putting up a phony graphic to make the unemployment rate look worse. Notice how 8.6% appears higher than 8.8% and 8.9%. Hilarious biased input of FOX
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...tter-graphics/2011/12/12/gIQAUVgNqO_blog.html

    Also there are numerous other examples. Here's an international one of FOX using footage from a different country and claiming it's from Russia

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4FwvQYLKK98" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    This one talks about FOX using footage from one thing and claiming it was another.

    Hannity had to admit the mistake. Hilarious.

    http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblo...stewart-catches-fox-news-using-wrong-footage/

    This one is of FOX news using fake crowd shots to beef up the audience appearance at a Sara Palin function

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/luNheD4DGr8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


    In this example FOX news uses footage from CA claiming it's from the Wisconsin protests.
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/02/wisconsin-protests-fox-news-sacramento_n_830314.html

    Man FOX news is clearly the most biased of all cable news channels. The lists of this stuff goes on and on.
