There are no "fair and balanced" sources of news and we don't need any. All we need is accurate, uncensored information and thoughtful commetary.

Fox News has lost a lot of credibility recently because of its conservative slant. It has become the TV equivalent of AM talk radio which is alternative media, not MSM.

Fox News credibility at record low ? RT USA

Fox news is the mainstream media, and it's propaganda which should not be trusted

AGAIN, so the right-leaning ones can't be trusted but the left-leaning ones (aka pretty much all the others) can?

Personally, I read British news. They give ALL sides, have blasted Obama and Bush and Romney and Clinton when deserved and anyone else, and give me news stories about the U.S. that NONE of the mainstream media, Fox, ABC, NBC, CNN included, have given me.

They're all mainstream and which way they lean doesn't matter, only the fact that they lean matters. They're all guilty of it and IMO, it's all disgusting. Saying that Fox isn't credible but NBC is is laughable and ridiculous.

Calling NBC left wing is laughable and ridiculous.
