MaddDawgz.. Is Fox News still unbiased?

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-08...-peak.html

Quote:News Corp., the media company controlled by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rupert Murdoch, gave the RGA $1 million in June

"News Corp. opposes proposed federal rule changes that would weaken the position of its Fox network in negotiations with cable companies."

What rule changes? Are any other networks opposed? All Fox divisions?
Fox Sports? Fox Biz? Regular Fox affiliates?

I'm not saying Fox is being treated unfairly. I don't yet know. But IF CNN were singled out
by a Libertarian or GOP Administration, I'd support any donation to the Democratic Party. And although I don't support the Democratic Party, you can bet I'd make a phone call on their behalf.

Please fill me in 84. What is Fox's beef?

cob, MD tried to imply that Fox News was not biased for one party a while back. That's all this post was about. It's common sense for the rest of us out there, that if you want a heavy conservative slant to the news, you go to Fox News, if you want the liberal version you go to MSNBC.

MaddDawgz as always, has his head in the sand though and believes it's actually Fair and Balanced, which is as of course as ridiculous as his believing that Grady has a weak arm or that Weston should be the starter for this team without ever seeing him play.

I'm not an expert in cable TV, but obviously they can't put rules against Fox News that don't apply to CNN or MSNBC or ESPN or Fox Sports for that matter, so that's not the issue. Considering Fox News just got a front seat at the White House, I imagine it's more to do with just trying to win elections than a specific issue for Fox News.
I think that's just an easy talking point to throw out that seems reasonable unless you actually take the time to think about it. I mean if there actually is something to that argument, why would Time Warner give $35,000 to the DGA? Wouldn't these other cable companies be flooding the GOP with money if that argument held any water?

This probably has more to do with it:

Quote:But there is one political outcome in the offing that the Republican Governors Association is particularly well-positioned to influence – redistricting of congressional districts, the line-drawing that can help make or break a congressional majority. Governors play a unique and powerful role in the process out in the states, and the primary driver for governors’ association contributions is the upcoming redistricting battle.

This year, 37 governorships are on the ballot, the most in history, adding extra fuel to the once-a-decade fight over the lines of congressional and state legislative lines. The next redistricting will happen based on the data from the 2010 census.

I mistakenly thought (based on the title of this thread) you were implying that just because the parent company of Fox News made a political donation, that automatically by default makes the Fox News division biased. I sincerely apologize.

So I guess MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, Bloomberg, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Miami Herald, ect don't support the Libs....and they're unbiased lol....Hell MSNBC has banked their existance on Obama and his failed policies.

wild bill. Obviously they are biased the other way, I've said so myself, even in this thread, I mentioned MSNBC as a place to go for liberal news. No one is suggesting otherwise.
