Does anyone actually believe that Fox News is "fair and balanced?"?

Sure, there are a lot of liberal media outlets. But Fox News is a conservative outlet, whether they admit it or not. Is that known by everyone, or is there someone out there who actually believes they are neutral?
Relly: By "neutral" I mean having no preconceived biases. No allegiances. By claiming to be "fair and balanced," they are certainly claiming to be neutral in that sense.
 
everyone knows that they lean to the right. the thing is, they lean less to the right as the other news companies lean to the left. So in essence they are closer to neutral than the others. For instance, nearly every time a topic is discussed on Fox, they have two people doing the discussion along with the Fox employee. One democrat and one republican so both sides of the argument are presented. Most of the time the Fox employee will side with the repub but that still doesnt change the fact that both sides spoke their mind. For example, take the last two post-Pres debate discussions. Each time Fox interviewed a Democrat and a Republican to get their opinion on how the debate went. I flipped to MSNBC and it was a panel of 5-6 hardcore Dems bashing Romney the entire time. Flip back and forth a couple times after the last debate and you will see exactly what im talking about.

I really hate both political parties so dont think this is simply a plug for the Repubs.
 
No Fox News is not fair and balanced. However I think Fox News is the best media outlet on TV. All of the other news outlets are for the democrats. Unfortunately you have to get your news from different sources, and make up your on mind. What I like about Fox News is that they have more liberal hosts than others have conservatives. Also, they have more liberal guests as others media outlets have conservatives. The problem is that we live in a liberal controlled media and world, and on certain issues even Fox News have to put the liberal spin on, such as the race relations, immigration, women right to choose etc.
