Hot Topic (4/28): Do you trust the media?

[Cafe GroupAdmin]

 Fox News claims to be "Fair & Balanced."

Do you think any news source is truly fair and balanced? 

Why or why not?

There is NO fair and unbiased new source out there because everyone has their opinions and there stories tend to favor said opinions.

So.... um.... this is a trick question.... right?

I think I just snorted coffee up my nose. 

If FOX News is saying it is unbiased then I can say this picture is of McCain and Palin, the best in their campaign infact.

I like Fox I think they are fair. Unlike the other networks.

I don't think ANY media gets ALL the facts right ALL the time.

Fox News claims to be "Fair & Balanced."

Do you think any news source is truly fair and balanced?  No.

Why or why not? Because reporters are people. They have their own beliefs, that will cloud their reactions, thinking, etc.. no matter how much they might try to be open minded. It's been a long time since I have seen ANY reporter simple report the facts w/o the influence of their views.

   As far as fox is concerned, most of their staff is conservative. However, at least they DO bring people from different views on to state their opinions. MSM does NOT do this at all, they continue to function as a mouth piece for the Democrats. This is prevalent in almost all MSM. Look at the way they handles the tea parties, ( the reporter on CNN was rude, as were the reporters on NBC. The rest of MSM just ignored them. Had the tea parties been to protest the war, or to fight for abortion the results would have been MUCH different.) Personally I try to catch all sides then do my own fact finding before formulating an opinion.
