I think any of the American news stations deliver a narrow view but I had heard this about FOX.

Truly amazing. The most biased news organization being the least biased
with primary coverage... Boggles the mind. Wait until after the nomination and see how balanced and fair they are... Murdoch and company simply don't have a dog in this fight... yet...

Re: It's hardly the best of a bad bunch. They seem moralistic and officious
Pat, preaching tends to have the same effect on me, hence I don't expose myself to that. Here we're dealing only with one aspect - their coverage of the presidential primaries! And it's evidently much more balanced than that of the other networks...

Re: hmnnnn sounds familiar to Australia I'm afraid.
Kabu, I would have thought you Aussies, being a sporting nation, would be more inclined to be fair and balanced in your media...

It's hardly the best of a bad bunch. They seem moralistic and officious
branches of the 700 club, especially on Fox, there's a whole lot of finger-pointing and preaching going on. I'm almost tempted to go out and sin just to spite the holier-than-thou pontificates.

I watch BBC sometimes, just to get another view.
Also to get a view of the rest of the world that is not filtered through American perceptions.
