It might have. Hard to know for sure.

The honest thing to do woould be to re-report the story with the correct info... but honesty and fox news mix like oil and water..

I seem to recall Fox and Friends debating issues on both sides. I'm sorry that you are so sure of your assumptions.

People who actually to the time to measure how that debate goes note that 75% or more of the air time is given to people espousing conservative opinions. Have to find that study again, it was quite telling.

Debate: maybe
Fair & balanced: fuck no

I agree, Fox is mostly conservative. I would say they are fair. Balance and fair are just a matter of interpretation.

Think of physics. If I have two weights on a lever, and a fulcrum in the middle, both ends need equal weight to make the lever balance. If I shift the fulcrum to the right, I need more weight on the right to make it balance.

Is balanced an unfair word just because Fox gives the conservative viewpoint more weight?

Yes, because they don't bother to define the context in which the believe they are balanced. And it's not an unfair word....it's an inaccurate word.

Please...

Don't tell me you expect anything in this age of for profit news to be accurate...

Is it any more accurate on the left?

How many slogans reflect reality in the advertisement section of anything?

I'm not making a comparison here...just answering your question is all.

"How many slogans reflect reality in the advertisement section of anything?"
Dunno. Fair and Balanced certainly isn't one of them.

Friggin double post!

"Fairly Counter-Balanced" might be more accurate.

Like I said earlier, it depends on your perspective. I think they are fair. They almost always offer a response from the other side. They may not voice nearly as many left viewpoints as right viewpoints, but they are the balance to the MSM's.
