As size pointed out it really doesn't compare to the CBS scandal.This was a case of a reporter being a smart ass. If they said it was an editorial joke up front then it wouldn't have been a problem. With CBS you have them basing the entire story on one person with mental problems and questionable creditability. The producer actually called the Kerry campaign telling them they need to talk to the guy. They also ignored other people who told them it wasn't true. The CBS scandal was not a case of them being duped as they are trying to spin it. It is a case of biased reporting. They wanted the story to be true so bad they ignored everything else. Did they report like that for the swift boat vets? Hell no!!!!!! If a large member of Bush's former national guardsmen came forward and said they think he is unfit for command would the media have covered it in the same way as they covered Kerry's? Hell no!!!! They would have dedicated a whole hour to it on 60 minutes, it would be on the front page of every news paper, and the nightly news would have it as their lead story as long as they could. To show how out of touch the media is. Dan Rather insisted he is not biased and then in the same sentence said the white house is out to get him. Hello? Could it be that they put a false story on 60 minutes that could have really hurt the president at the time of a presidential election? Brokaw said recently "a kind of political jihad against Dan Rather and CBS News that is quite outrageous." These guys are really out of touch. Liberals and the media hate FOX news because it's success means that they have lost their strangle hold on what information comes out and they will cover stories the media would spike. Now if they omit certain stories it makes them look.......... biased.

I don't consider news networks like CNN/CBS (apart from that scandal) to be left wing loonies. They are pretty moderate.

FOX otoh is well far to the right.

FOX does well cause of the anchorwomen, that's why I watch them

If CNN wants to compete they better get Monica Bellucci in some slutty outfit with some cleavage from Carmen Electra.

In all seriousness, ALL news organizations have an agenda that they want to push. No news organization can be fully trusted. Watch for entertainment purposes only cause their bullshit is too much at times

Obviously, you feel that their news goes along with the mainstream or neutral point of view. Independent studies show this is not the case. I encourage you to read the book Bias by B. Goldberg who worked for CBS and is a democrat. He discusses how many fail to recognize the slant of the mainstrem media b/c it is parallel to their own thinking.

some shows on fox are right leaning - they do not hide that. Hannity for example. It would be nice if the other networks would just admit it. Bias was a gfreat book, it gave a great insight to the inside workings of news networks and the bias that goes on there.

And I would recommend Big Lies by Conason. I've read Bias some time ago. I wouldn't say CNN right in the centre but compared to fair and balanced Fox, its a more decent source of news.

Hanity has combs to even it out though. Liberals hate the network because it covers stories and ideas that in the past would have been swept under the carpet.

If you don't think there is a left wing bias in the news read the book Coloring the news.
