Fox News is Totally Unbiased

Really! Please, spare me that Bush-crap. Or should I say, Bush-shit?

I am not American, so am I likely to be bias? I leave that to you. But, looking at the polls…

CBS
Obama – 40%
McCain – 26%
Fair polling. I’ll say.

CNN
Obama – 54%
McCain – 30%
Fair polling. Not too far from the first, and the range for most polls.

FOX
McCain – 86%
Obama – 12%
Really?!

Wow. Fox’s polls reflect one of two things – it is either Fox skewed the results, or most, if not all the viewers are conservatives. If the first were right, that’s appalling. If the second were right, that means that even amongst the conservatives, 12% see that Obama makes sense, and that the remaining 86% are veiled by pretty Sarah Palin (this is for another paragraph), and refuse to think. As if that is not one-sided enough, here is more evidence.

While, Fox blows the negatives of Obama’s and the democrats’ roles in the economic crisis out of proportion, they never once talk about the republican leadership – Bush, nor McCain’s role in a similar in the recent past. Fox doesn’t talk about The Keating Five. Hold on, there is still some more.

While, Fox continually shows documentaries linking Obama to Bill Ayers, they do not talk about McCain’s “terrorist pal,” Gordon Liddy
I bet most of you have never heard about this until now. McCain is to Liddy, as Obama is to Ayers.

Let’s talk about Gov. Palin. Just as I have always stated, she is a smart, pretty lady. But, I have gradually lost my respect for her. Even some Alaskans will agree with me on this; her approval ratings in Alaska recently dropped by about 14%. You can read more here, , or for another point of view, here. But, Fox still gives her better than an A grade candidate.

I admit, she did better than I expected in the VP debate. Maybe, it is because of my already low standards for her going into them. You already know what happened with the Katie Couric interviews, and you are entitled to your opinion. The point is, the debate definitely gave her a confidence boost. But, I hate to almost always have to fact-check McCain and Palin’s words especially, after the VP debate. I guess even confidence boosts have a negative flip side. Don’t get me wrong, I also fact-check those from the Obama camp.

I thought Sarah didn’t get a beat down in the debates. A lot of conservatives will agree with me on this. Fox said she won. But, hear the commentator’s, Gwen Ifil’s interesting opinion.

The point is, for those who think Fox news is totally unbiased, you may want to rethink.
