I prefer reporting of the news and not someone's interpretation of the news. You give me the facts and I can figure it out. I don't need O'Reilly, Maddow or anyone else to analyze it for me. Fox was really the first at having huge segments of commentary. Commentary is not news reporting. Unfortunately, CNN and MSNBC soon followed with their own brand of commentary.
What ever happened to go ole News REPORTING. What we have now is fastfood news. It is all prepackage from the AP or Reuters and then commented on by the commentators (entertainers). What I would like to see is for the networks to start doing their own investigation and then REPORT the news.
Easy solution. Just watch the news segments/programs. I always watch Beck (he's the only one exposing hussein and his criminal administration), rarely if ever watch Hannity or O'Reilly.

Try fox between 5pm and 7pm central time.
you will find balanced news the first our being political news with a balanced approach including both liberal and conservative and moderates in a round table discussion about what is happing
the second hour dealing with the rest of the world/national news that has little to do with politics.
When I read your comment that Fox is not number 1 in Mexico, is probably because Mexicans are more concerned with what is going on in their own country than in the US. I don't see why it would be number 1 in Mexico.
Hmmm, did I say MEXICO? I thought I typed NEW MEXICO.
Now, for those who still feel FOX isn't fair and balanced, could you gives up an example of the cross section on say, MSNBC or CNN?
Nita
Indeed, the cross section for MSNBC or CNN would mirror your analysis of FOX news, just switch conservative to liberal. All the digs on FOX apply to MSNBC and, to a lessor extent, CNN as well. The difference though is that FOX News and many of their fans like to actively deny that they are a Republican mouthpiece. Why not just admit it? Why not brand it "the voice of the conservative movement" or something? You don't see MSNBC so actively pretending to be something that they are not (fair and balanced).

You have a good point, but I wouldn't go as far to say that MSNBC is pretending, their reporting is just as biased to their liberal audience as to Fox's conservative audience.
But the president and the WH advisors don't seem to have a problem with a news network that sees eye to eye with the WH.
