Is NPR actually left-wing biased or is it just that they're not right wing? I never even heard of NPR since I'm not American. Not saying Fox isn't the only biased station, I don't know any of the others. I think O'Reilly is on Fox... I guess not news but.. I was watching some clip on Youtube of an interview he was doing about homosexuality and I was so disgusted with what he was saying that I couldn't even watch it. I know it wasn't news but pretty sure he was the interviewer lmao.
Anyways if you're a station biased to a certain ideology, people who agree with that ideology will gravitate to your station because you're telling them what they want to hear -> hence ratings. Ratings are irrelevant to how biased you are...

Something I find funny of the US, apparently repubs are called right wing and democrats left wing? which is weird because they both seem pretty right wing just repubs more extremist (there is some left wing bias for you lol)



It's true that the political "center" in the United States is shifting heavily to the right recently, mostly due to the advent of the Tea Party. They came onto the scene so far off to the extreme right that it made republicans sound like the new moderates, which is depressing.

But what did such a Teuton afterwards look like when he had been "improved" and led into a monastery? Like a caricature of a human being, like an abortion: he had become a "sinner," he was in a cage, one had imprisoned him behind nothing but sheer terrifying concepts... There he lay now, sick, miserable, filled with ill-will towards himself; full of hatred for the impulses toward life, full of suspicion of all that was still strong and happy. In short, a "Christian"... - Twighlight of the Idols

Lol last night I watched South Park first time in a long time and after South Park the Daily Show came on so I decided to watch it the first time in a long time too. And to my surprise (not) the very first thing they do is on Fox XD He raps at the end but its not that good so you can stop when he starts rapping after he asks for a beat.
I assume these are it for people in the US:

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-m ... --lyrics-controversy
I am assuming that the second just continues where the first one left off but I can't watch the video since I don't live in the US.
Canada: http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/the-da ... -11-2011/#clip463535

Remembering a debate between some people from Fox and Jon Stewart, it sounded as if Fox holds themselves to the same standard as the Daily Show... which is a comedy and "fake news" show so ugh... okay Fox. I doubt they do but they shouldn't have to justify some stuff they do with "well look at your show............................." given the difference of genres lmao

When I get home from work at 2pm, I usually always turn on Fox to catch up on the latest news. I especially like Shepard Smiths show, he put's his own unique and sometimes funny spin on things. I'll agree that the evening talk shows are usually biased toward conservatism, but it's no different on other networks who have their own bias. You can't tell me that Chris Matthews on MSNBC doesn't put a liberal spin on things. Anyhow, I generally don't watch the evening shows, I'd rather relax in the evening than get all worked up with the latest issues of the day. I usually just watch reruns of seinfeld or friends, lol.

I first heard of Michael Jacksons death on Fox News, in fact Fox was the first of the big three TV news networks to report on his death. Democrats/Liberals/Obamabots often say that EVERYTHING on Fox News is a outright lie-so does this mean that Michael Jackson is still alive and the WTC is still standing in New York City?

Yay logical fallacies

And about Glenn Beck...

Fox News is a hilarious comedy.
