Investigative journalism in the United States is dead. The toughest questions the sitting president has ever received from a media outlet came from a forum on Univision last week. Meanwhile this week, 60 Minutes tossed the President softball questions and avoided pressing on any controversies. If reporters would actually do their job and seek the truth, people wouldn’t be turning to media outlets like Fox News in order to find out what is going on in this country.
You really think that Fox News is objective. Objective reporting is no longer an option. But then of course the ones you mentioned from the left are opinion shows to begin with – but I guess that doesn’t matter to you.
Har! When even a Fox survey showed Mitt losing in THEIR poll, of THEIR right-wing people, they went nuts!
Haven’t been getting MSNBC all that long, switched to satellite, have noted a distinct trend that they are far more accommodating to “right-wing” folks, than Fox is of any real “lefties”. Also, watching the “major networks” coverage of news, a distinct “conservative” bias comes up over and over in the language used, and “slant” to the stories. It is a reflection of their corporate ownership, despite the possible views of the on screen “talent”.
While MSNBC IS a “liberal” lineup, to say that the “mainstream” media is liberal, is simply, delusional.

News outlets, desperate to seem “fair” and “balanced”, trumpet bias that doesn’t exist. A Good Cartoon.
