That pretty much sums up the primary media problem these days (at least in the US). One of the reasons that FOX looks so good to conservatives is that it always plays the role of cheerleader for the administration (and scourge of the Democrats). News that would be unsettling to a conservative worldview is always spun with daily talking points to put the best face on it for conservative viewers. Of course, as we've seen with the recent U of MD studies, the price for all the pro-administration spin is a worldview that doesn't approximate reality (LINK ). News isn't supposed to make you feel all warm, fuzzy, and patriotic all the time.

These attacks on Fox have little basis in reality.

If you go to the websites of both Fox and CNN, you will find the same headlines.

If you watch the hard news shows of both Fox and CNN, they will 99% of the time be reporting the same headlines.

Hell, dont they both get their news from the same place? (AP)

What leftist have against Fox is that they actually employ some conservatives for their editorial shows.. but thats exactly what they are - editorial shows.


You will find very little difference between the news Brit Hume reports and that of Wolf Blitzer. The only difference is that Brits show is much more interesting because of the way he and the staff run it.
