Fox News fair and balanced

In response to Victor Darst's comments saying that Fox News is openly biased, I would like him to back up his statements with some factual information and list his sources.

Fox News has the highest ratings due to the fact that they report both sides of the story for the daily hot topics. They did not use their own opinions. Instead they report the news and have guests that represent both views on their prime time shows.

By doing it that way it allows for intelligent people to decide for themselves what that want to believe. To prove that Fox News is not biased, look at how they covered the ACORN and Van Jones stories long before the other mainstream media outlets even bothered to mentioned anything.

The reason why the talk radio is dominated by conservatives is because people like to listen to them. Look at Air America and their poor ratings that led them to file for bankruptcy. Not even Al Franken could help them from their poor radio performance.

People have a right to turn the channel on cable and on the radio and if people like what they hear. Those stations benefit with good ratings.

Maybe the Democrats will overturn the Fairness Doctrine in order to get their way because they can't figure out that people do not want to listen to blame-it-on-Bush and Palin character assassinations all day long.
