Check the ratings

This is in response to Colby Roy's letter (Oct. 7), "A biased media." I am appalled that people think Fox News is biased.

O'Reilly, Hannity and Beck are all neo-conservatives? Is that a joke?

Because capitalism is the only system that has ever flourished in the world and those three like to promote it, that means they are neoconservatives?

If they were neo-conservatives, they would be saying, "Take over Iran, North Korea, China, Russia ... and France, too!" But they don't.

Apparently, Fox News is driven by the same people who destroyed the Constitution, too. Funny, how they get bashed for destroying the Constitution, all the while other people defend Barack Obama and his liberal buddies in Congress who want to take away freedom of religion (no Christian cross on government property), guns (Second Amendment), health care (10th Amendment) and so on and so forth.

I don't understand how someone can support Ron Paul and support Obama in the same paragraph. Agreeing with two of the farthest part of the right- and left-wing politicians is a little hypocritical.

If Fox News is so biased, why does every one of their prime time shows have at least double the viewers of any other cable news program at the same time? It's because Fox News has credible facts to support its reporting. And what other news programs have people debating from both sides of the table?

Just check the ratings.

Anita thinks of Mao all the time. Mccain is a liberal republican. They're all the same. Esp Bush and Obama.

We have White House

We have White House communications director that quoted "Mao Tse Tung and Mother Theresa were two of her favorite philosophers." At first you might think it's a joke but as the clip goes on her clear adoration of Mao seems evident. "The two people I turn to the most"and of chairman Mao "I think about him all the time." This is the sample of the irrationality that we have in this Obama Whitehouse.

McCain quotes Mao frequently, so if you voted for him you're a commie.

Lil, You are such a total

Lil, You are such a total blithering idiot!!

Hannity, Beck, et al are OPINION programs. They are not NEWS programs. When the NEWS comes on Fox it is fair and balanced. When the OPINION shows come on, people express their OPINION. Just like on CNN and MSNBC etc. The difference is when the NEWS comes on CNN and others - the NEWScasters are obviously bias in the liberal direction. That does NOT happen on NEWS programs on Fox.

I imagine it's hard to keep up Lil when you only have three brain cells and you use two of those to blink your eyes.

A liberal is someone so open-minded that their brain has fallen out.

The ratings issue is pure

The ratings issue is pure math. There's one righty network. The rest of us can choose from a wide variety of other outlets, spreading out the ratings. If there were two networks, Fox would be in last place.

Lil, again what "Faux" news

Lil, again what "Faux" news did they report. Previously you said "Jennings", I never saw the report so I do not know what false statements were said about Mr. Jennings. If you are going to through out accusations you should be able to back them up.

Again I ask, could one of you give me a specific example of a false story reported on Fox. I know Lil you said Jennings, but never said what Fox said that was false about him. O'Reilly, Beck and Hannity are analysis shows and do tend to have a bias. The same can be said about Matthews and Olbermann. If their stories reported on their cast are false, this should be easy to prove.

Beck has installed a phone

Beck has installed a phone with a line directly to the WH. He is BEGGING someone from the WH to call him and prove him false. He would love to be proven wrong. Sadly, it won't happen.
