I didn't say that the other networks shouldn't be fixing their biases.
I'm just assuming that they are until I hear otherwise. I don't have a
problem with conservative viewpoints being on air. I just don't want
the actual reporting of news to be influenced by the politics of the
people who own the station. I know it's unrealistic, though, so I'm
settling for having them simply moving towards that goal. <br>
<br>
I would assume that Fox News is moving that way too, except that this
memo and other memos appears to show the opposite.<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm curious why you think Fox should be fixing their bias but I do not
believe you have ever thought the other networks should fix theirs. Fox is a
response to the other liberal media. Rush was and is equal time because
before him the conservative viewpoint was not on the air. This is not my
view this is in the view of journalism sources. I heard someone on Cspan say
it just Saturday.

<pre wrap="">Tom,
I sure wouldn't doubt that Fox has a right minded bias, just as I hope
that you wouldn't doubt that PBS/NPR has a left. I tend to think that
ABC CBS and NBC have a more left leaning bias too. In my opinion that
shouldn't even be in question, thats just life.

I think the key question is whether or not a particular news
organization is doing what it can to decrease the level of bias or if it
is actively encouraging it. Clearly, if that memo is real, Fox News is
not doing all it can to wipe out it's own biases.
Now whether PBS/NPR, ABC, CBS, or NBC are doing all they can to provide
fair and balanced coverage, I have no idea. I will assume so until I
read about a "smoking gun" memo from any of those organizations.
I recommend going to the internet for news, and researching topics of
interest in multiple places.
