msnbc and the media did a great job in slanting the news.
Certainly, but they embrace their liberalism while FOX lies about their conservatism. Here's a link that one of your FOX news buddies posted to show how FOX news wasn't that bias but turned out he/she didn't read the article properly...
What we have in this link shows that FOX News is behind MSNBC as the most bias new network, while trying to maintain the "fair and balanced" mantra that seemed to have convince the masses.
Per the link...
"On Fox News, in contrast, coverage of Obama was more negative than the norm (40% of stories vs. 29% overall) and less positive (25% of stories vs. 36% generally). For McCain, the news channel was somewhat more positive (22% vs. 14% in the press overall) and substantially less negative (40% vs. 57% in the press overall). Yet even here, his negative stories outweighed positive ones by almost 2 to 1."
Although overall the media bias was slanted towards MSNBC, they acknowledge their bias. Fox News, next in line, doesn't acknowledge their bias... so you decide how Fox News stands.

So msnbc admitting that their views are unfairly slanted is somehow to be preferred to Fox claiming that theirs are not?
The unstated truth of course, is that the real bias in news consists not in what opinions are presented, but in what stories the network chooses to cover. The fact remains that Fox provides news of stories and events which the mainstream leftist media simply does not acknowledge. Case in point: the recent Pro-Life rallies in DC which were covered by Fox but virtually ignored by the liberal media. No negative stories were presented, so PEJ's stats were not affected; but this MAJOR news story was simply ignored by the liberal media....

Bias? I reported it. You decide.
So you are fine with a news source promoting a "Fair and Balanced" approach while not living up to it, while another news source that is upfront with their bias? So you would rather be mislead about the intention of news source then know about it up front then?
