Fox News trashes Obama

[RenegadeLonghorn]

Fair and balanced? What is this BS they are spewing?

[mikesilvia]

For every Obama bash that happens on Hannity and Combs their is a defense and a McCain bash. That is how the show is set up. Notice the lady talking about the Obama tax plan (#2). There is a Obama supporter in the wings to react, but obvious this Obama supporter produced clip cuts off the video after one side has spoken. You clip is highly edited.

How about an unedited clip of a Hannity and Combs show where both sides are shown? :)

Here is an unedited clip of a typical Hannity and Combs show. Notice how Hannity talks first and brings in a guy for his point of view. Then he asks questions of a guy against his point of view. Then Combs does the same thing. How is that not fair and balanced?

Hannity and Colmes is one of many Fox news anchors. What about the other anchors who have apparently "mispoken".

I'd like to see both sides of the argument from many of your threads. :)

I have to point out that Hannity and Colmes is a commentary show, not a news show. The article reporting 3 to 1 news stories in favor of Obama was about news stories, which is where the problem comes in. I know that article wasn't specifically mentioned here, but it seems to be the catalyst that started the whole discussion about the media bias. I have no problem with a commentary show taking sides, that's what they're supposed to do. But when the news is reported, it is supposed to be unbiased.

But addressing Hannity and Colmes as a commentary show, like Mike said, they at least provide co-hosts from both sides. I haven't seen any shows on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, etc that do that. They may have guests from the opposing viewpoint, but that's just to give them a chance to berate them.

I see your point that not everything is biased towards the left. That's true...but the majority of the major networks are. You can find left biased reporting on most of the major networks, but the only example I ever see of right biased is from Fox News....1 against several. If it were even, the ratio of news stories b/w Obama and McCain would be much closer because there would be just as many fawning over McCain as they are Obama, but that's not the case.

also realize that a lot of the things they list as wrong, aren't even if there is an obama clip that says otherwise.
1. The part about the tax plan. sure, obama stated in one speech that anyone making 250,000 or less wouldn't have raised taxes, but the plans he is putting forth say otherwise.
2. The part about Obama not saying good things about this country. Of course you can find a couple of clips of him saying good things. But if you have watched his speeches through the primaries, the majority was negative.

As mike pointed out, the person who edited this video together left out plenty!

if you want an attack on obama just listen to his so called supporters

Who cares. One station. Go to any of the other networks and rest easy knowing they'll vote for Obama.

And I love Michael Savage. :)

they also show that Mccain gets more favorable coverage by ALL the networks then Obama as they have hammered obama on Wright, Rezco, inexperience etc. but they have NEVER questioned Mccain military service or had on any of the vietnam vets against Mccain who are speaking out against him. They don't mention him cheating on his wife with cindy while she was recovering from an accident. They haven't questions him about the pork he asked for or when he made the comments that he didn't love america? So far he has gotten a free ride from almost every network.

I would love to see the proof of that statement. Obama has graced the cover of more newspapers and magazines and gotten better coverage from every network other than Fox.
There are some issues (wright and rezco for example) that have to be covered no matter what.
