You can argue about global warming but you cannot argue about TV ratings and Fox News is and has been killing it for years in most news categories.
Are they fair and balanced? Overall, I would say that given some of their commentary programs they certainly lean a little right. Hannity is far right, the show with the governor is right obviously and a snoozer.
However, when you get into the later night hours it definitely moves more toward center. O'Reilly is a conservative that has not made any bones about it but he has been fair to President Obama.
It is pretty easy to see that Megan Kelly isnt a liberal either. But she is an experienced lawyer and she brings people on like Bill Ayers and other controversial characters from the far left and has meaningful interviews with them.
On the 5 you have Bob Beckel who is hilarious and wrong most of the time but he gets to put his views on the table like everyone else.
What the left will not acknowledge is that they are much less tolerant to other opinions than most people. And the left leaning media is the same way. They only bring on people who reinforce their liberal leanings. They ignore information that is not supportive of their world view.
And intelligent people dont like having news and information filtered before they get a chance to evaluate it. Those people are going to Fox News because they are actually presenting both sides.
