I was reading this article and couldn't help but think it is BS

Five ways the mainstream media tipped the scales in favor of Obama | Fox News

Then I read this...

Cable: CNN Ends Its Ratings Slide, Fox Falls Again | State of the Media

Fox news has more viewers then the other networks combined as seen in the graphic on the above mentioned link.

Explain to me how Fox News is NOT the mainstream media.

You should have seen their "Bias Alert!" before the election was over...too hilarious.

BUT DON'T TELL THE CONSERVATIVES THIS. YOU MUST NOT JUDGE THE GOD OF ALL NEWS NETWORKS....THE ONE THAT REPORTS FAIR AND BALANCED NEWS.

It reminds me of a Fortune 500 business calling themselves a small business. It is a complete contradiction. You can't claim to be a leader in news and not part of the mainstream, if you are not what are you...underground?

FOX is to news what the National Enquirer is to journalism, its not a reliable source of factual news.
Its an entertainment outlet rather than a source for news..Their prediction for a Romney landslide should now be a wake up call to many as to just how out of touch and wrong they can be..

Republicans have been contradicting themselves big time this year. While simulatenously complaining that taxes are too high, yet half of the country doesn't pay enough in taxes to calling Obama a Communist who supports bailouts for billionaires. Whining about mainstream media while praising Fox news is the least of their contradictions.

I would have more respect for them if they had more serious journalist, I do watch them to get more view points during the day. Prime time is unwatchable unless you are very conservative. I do respect them for interviewing Romney pretty fairly on a couple of occasions. Used to DVR redeye, but that went to far to the right and quit being funny.

Damn that bunch of liberal editors!

Who would have thought they'd be so sneaky and lowdown as to report the truth?

Quotes from article...

"...or even invented controversies — from Romney and hyped them in to multi-day media “earthquakes.”

"...Mother Jones magazine in September put out a secretly-recorded video of Romney talking to donors about the 47% of Americans who don’t pay income taxes, the networks hyped it like a sensational sex scandal. Over three days, the broadcast network morning and evening shows churned out 42 stories on the tape, nearly 90 minutes of coverage."

One word Benghazi

Theres nothing really to respect with FOX when it comes to a factual news organization , it tends to twist stories to suit its own rightwing bias, or just flat out makes stuff up..If nothing else this whole election process should lay bare the fact that you need to up the quality of your news sources from FOX's tabloid entertainment to something more factual and credible..
