So how are they reporting on it now? And how does either strategy, (then or now) affect gas prices?

I have a coworker who says Fox "news" is not biased. I was stunned speechless when he said that.
Yay Team! :facepalm
I can admit that FOX pimps for the Republican side. Can you admit that all the others pimp for the Dem side? I'm willing to bet you can't. Which makes you as bad as them.
What would be even funnier would be putting up the clips of the Fox "news" talking heads side by side with their current parroting of GOP talking points.
To some extent, yes.
It is nowhere near as blatantly partisan as Fox.
Fox takes it to an absurd degree. (as is oooh so often pointed out to great humorous effect by the likes of Jon Stewart)

Absurd degree. Interesting. As if there wasn't an absurd degree with bias.
*googling metrics for absurdity*
Ha! First hit.

That's ridiculous equivocation. I could spend the rest of the day - the rest of several days, showing all the absurd partisan bull on other stations. Things so blatant that you couldn't possibly defend them. But if I did that, it would just look like I am taking the other ideological side. I'm not.
I hate 'em all. They're all politicians, and shills for politicians. If you can keep a straight face while you say that one side is more blatant or partisan than the other, there's no point in arguing with you. You have your head up your ideology, and can't see anything else.
If there is any difference in the two "sides", it's this: far too many people on the left are comfortable with the idea that the FOX/Republican point of view should be shut down. The only thing that is even more dangerous than having the networks be political shills, is silencing all dissent.
It takes a proper application of confirmation bias to accurately identify absurd degree bias.

that's like saying CNN or MSNBC are not biased
Quite a difference when a Democrat is in office.. just a coincedence I suppose
What's been the difference?
How come no one has shown a comparison as to how it's now reported on?
Furthermore, I wonder how NBC was reporting on it in 2008, and how they're reporting on it now?
And I'm still curious how this affects anything?
Fox NEWS IMHO really is fair and balanced. Fox OPINION commentators (O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.) clearly aren't. I don't understand why people refuse to see the difference.
Also IMHO CNN and MSNBC especially blur the lines between news and opinion more than Fox does.
I think Fox News is the greatest along with Ruperts newscorp.
Want to see Liberalism at it's best, read the "San Antonio Express News".
Nearly always a social issue on the front page. (or better yet a sports
story....)
thinking Fox is unbiased
thinking CNN NBC are any better
I love the fact that they may be biased. Like you all like ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN
NYT. Hmmmmm did I leave anyone out, more than likely. To show they bias they do.
After yesterday's vote on Keystone XL, combined with all the other anti-petroleum policies of this administration over the past 3 years, I think it's safe to say Obama and the Democrats own current gas prices...and, unemployment figures.
One thing we can agree on:
CNN is very subtly biased.
Fox/NBC is in your face bias.
I'm not saying either is better. Both are a disgrace
Keystone has about zip to do with current gas prices.
