Why do only conservatives think Fox is fair & balanced?

Why do you think fox news is fair and balanced. If you only watch one channel because you think that it is great how could that possible be fair and balanced. Every republican that I know watches fox news, every country club I walk into, every truck stop I go to, they are all watching fox news. How can American's get fair news if all of the right are watching the same thing!!! I really don't get it. And don't just give me the bs that its the only station that doesn't have the liberal media bias.

Well first off Fox is not the only news I watch. Second what is not fair and balanced about Fox News? Invariably when I see these complaints the people making them cannot seem to cite specific news instances. Rather they rely on attacks of the opinion based shows on Fox, not the actual news content presented. The bias in news comes from what they choose to report and what they choose not to report. From what I have found all media outlets are guilty of over and under reporting. Really though the problem is that it is just impossible to get the complete story from any tv news source in general. This is because of the scant amount of time devoted to each story. Very simply I do not know why this even matters. If you don't like Fox News then just don't watch it. It really is that simple.
