HAHAHA jesus you far left crazy people love to have a cry. The funny thing is that Fox news is no different to any other news program. It goes on ratings. They found out that most news programs are left wing. They went middle and get ALL the viewers. You far left crazy ppl that watch it just to complain are keeping its ratings so high. Btw, i'm not from the states. We only get Fox, MSNBC, CNN and BBC. BBC is usually pretty good. NBC is a joke and cnn/fox about the same.

Any other news media is much better than Fox so-called "news" for many reasons - see my other posts for evidence. The "others" don't LIE everyday that they are "fair&balanced" and "no spin". For example Keith Oblermann clearly admits his bias&will retract&apologize if he has told a lie. Bill O'Reilly does just the opposite - claiming "no spin" while lying. He stated he would fight Andrea Mackris' lawsuit "to the end" until he found she TAPED him -then he settled out of court for $10mil.

Fox so-called "news" is clearly unfair, imbalanced and unashamed and the evidence is more than overwhelming:
*Rupert Murdoch ADMITTED himself that he has a "conservative agenda"=PROPAGANDA
*BUSH hire Fox's TONY SNOW as his press secretary.
*Karl Rove hired by Fox "news".
*MODERATORS are the ones with the POWER&"last word" on Fox "news" - and ALL moderators on Fox are right-wing except for the half-moderator Alan Combs.
*MSNBC gives HOURS to Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, etc.

On Fox you need to understand, they always pick out weak liberals. This is to give the impression of fair and balanced. Notice how token liberal Alan Colmes can barely hold his own against Sean Hannity. This is called "Strawman."

Some still think Saddam was in league with Osama.

And PMSNBC, CNN and NBC news has not shifted way left? If you really believe this about Fox, then you are a weinerpuss of the first order. Fact is, if you watch Fox news closely, you will see that every time you see one of the Fox hosts talk about an issue, watch how they present someone from the left and right of the spectrums to make the cases. Then watch CNN. Watch how CNN uses 1 lone conservative among many libersl. James Carville, Donna Brazill and others. The libs are stacked 5-1 almost.

Hahaha ... thanks for the laughs.I assume you are joking? Right?
Bill Moyers is saying the truth. It is incredibly sad that so many people have been brainwashed by popular media to sit down and believe any of the advertizing-backed wealthy-owned news channels but it is downright unbelievable that people can't see Fox as the obvious least balanced "news" channel.
I still think you are joking and pulling peoples' legs ;-).

The ignorance of the average Faux Blues watcher is downright frightening.

Puhleez!! FOX has shifted the spectrum so far to the right that even supposed liberal networks like MSNBC and CNN are signing on conservative shock jocks to suck from FOX's nipple. Ratings or some crackpot survey of what your average dumb fuck jo thinks don't make news programs good. You have no facts to back up your claim that Moyers lied. Further, I doubt that you hardly ever watch news on PBS. Start now, because PBS is the only news network divorced from corporate interest.

Thank you Bill for saying what had to be said!Murdock news has nothing to do with good journalism, but then the other main stream news media aren't any better!

The level of ignorance a fox news viewer demonstrates never ceases to amaze me.

Terriffic Rant! One of the greatest integrative thinkers of our time. We love Bill Moyers. However--he does not offer much in the way of solutions. After all these years, I'm no longer satisfied. We need deep systemic reform that accommodates private activity as inevitable and natural, but shapes that activity MORE towards the public good. It's a question of balance, and the balance today is not acceptable.

i cant believe this stuff is even being watched. this is sick. murdoch is one of the most powerful men in the world. i surely HOPE people are researching this stuff since Bill is just blatently lying in this clip. fox news is proven and voted on by the majority of people as the most balanced media outlet on TV. some just think its biased because theyre not used to the conservatives having ANY position because other networks indorse all liberals and no conservatives. Fox does not endorse anyone!

The world needs an Arab philanthropist type to start one major news channel in USA. Somebody who won't mind being the world's hero.

Bill Moyers is one of my Hero's !!!!! God Bless Moyers and I am proud to say a Fellow Texan.

Once again, we, the people, are to blame here. He could not have gotten so big w/out our approval. We don't hold our reps accountable for CONSTANTLY associating w/&giving him a pass on whatever he wants. We don't pressure OUR media to provide us w/ more REAL news. In that race to the bottom, we're the ones firing the starter pistol. If 1/100th of the people who contacted the media about Janet's breast would do it to demand better programming, we'd have had it YESTERDAY!
