Erm...that is Fox News.
They are about as reliable as using Top Gear Maths to launch a space craft...

Why do people think that about Fox news? Daily Mail, perhaps, but Fox news is no worse than any of the other media outlets and certainly a lot more balanced than CNN or MSNB-hee-haw.

It is not something I "think", it is an opinion based on experience.
CNN is equally crap.

fox news is the only news service that is not owned and/or controlled by the far left. hence they will show news and not ask for permission to show first

Besides my (elsewhere in thread) note to you that Fox is explicitly NOT a news service, I note the following: The Radio talk shows, with the exception of PBS, are viciously right-wing biased.
Now, in another post (replying to one of mine) you mention the left-leaning bias of CNN. Now that I stream my news (instead of cable/broadcast) I get to see CNN International. They're views seem to be dominated by their major sponsor: Qatar (via its national airlines). Add to that the opening up of CNN Arabic, and their general misrepresentation of facts and it's not difficult to see their agenda. The question is, does one blame it on the left or the right, or perhaps call it what it is . . . oil that oil money was invested in buying Western media. In the past, they would even allow the PLO to approve "all" of their news releases.
What you have going on here is money buying news - which oddly enough fits a capitalist/conservative agenda quite well (re: PACS);

Sure you could do the same for the other networks as well though I notice that a lot of those 'errors' are being pushed by left wing sites (not all, of course). The one thing I do like about Fox is that when they have debates they invite people from both sides, not just the right, and give them full air time, including some very prominent Democrats. The others don't seem to do that.

So they have a different format in presenting; let us invite a 'moderate' candidate from the opposition, so we can have a 'debate'.
It is show.

Not really sure why I'm defending them other than that everyone is having a go at them whilst ignoring the bias of the other channels. So they're all ok to be blatantly biased, but Fox isn't?

No, just explaining why I'm ignoring them.

Do you ignore all of them or just Fox?

More than just all of them

Wait, you implied earlier that you ignore all of them. Does that mean you watch but ignore or ignore by not watching? In which case you are being a tad contradictory. Or much like MSNB-hee-haw.

No, not contradictionary yet, but it might be indeed be open to interpretation. So, to clarify..
They are not in my hosts-file (unlike some other companies), but I do indeed not use it as a news-source. If someone links to it from CP I will curse suitably and loudly, followed by the grinding of teeth, and still click on the link. If it does not respond quickly enough, I'll hit the mouse-button again, harder.

The difference is that occasionally CNN exhibits some positive qualities. When big events (missing planes[^], for instance) take place, they tend to be pretty good at reporting (and reporting, and reporting, and reporting) what's going on. Fox News will report it, then try to figure out how it is Obama's fault.

Yes, CNN, do have to fill a 24 hour news cycle and do so by endlessly repeating the same news items.
I've not seen Fox do that. I have seen guests do that but they'll always have someone from the other side who is just as critical of the right. Result: they're all a bunch of wankers.

Well, nice to meet you too, wanker. I see that you have plenty to add to the debate. Moron.

They also threaten to knock each other out, which I guess is a good thing...? Clickity[^]

Oh I agree, but I hate Eric Bolling even more. He is absolutely awful. He once stated on the air that he couldn't think of a single terrorist attack on American soil while Bush was President from 2000-2008. He subsequently got tore to shreds on social media for somehow failing to remember the single largest terrorist attack in the history of the United States. The next day he "apologized" saying that the far left liberals were senselessly attacking him and that he "obviously" meant post-9/11, despite clearly saying "between 2000 and 2008" the day before...
Anyways, this discussion is becoming more like Soapbox material, so I'm just going to leave it at that.

A credible news source doesn't show "The horrible actions of demonstrators in Wisconsin" and the video has palm trees in the background. It's like they don't even try to hide that they're lying.....
