Fox News Bias in the Democratic Primary [Poll]

by Saintcog, Wed Apr 09, 2008 at 08:10:11 PM EST

We polled perceptions of bias for MSNBC and CNN. Now it's time for Fox. I'm actually more interested in what people think about Fox's bias between the two Democratic candidates than the other two. For those who participated in the previous polls you will notice an additional option that I think must be included when discussing Fox and Democrats. Vote and discuss.

Re: Fox News Bias in the Democratic Primary (none / 0)

To know what Fox's bias is I'd have to watch Fox, so it's a non-starter

I will say though, that if Chris Wallace has to call you out on something, CHRIS WALLACE, then yeah you probably have no business trying to claim you are "fair and balanced"

Obama said, as Bill beamed. "Thank you, President Clinton."

Re: Fox News Bias in the Democratic Primary [Poll] (2.00 / 1)

Fox seems to have two types of Democratic primary coverage

1) The who cares who wins coverage which is pretty good because the really DO NOT CARE WHICH ONE WINS. Which differs from CNN and MSNBC pro Obama slant.

2) The how can we hurt the Dems the most and plant seeds that hurt them. This coverage tends to be against Obama now but was against Hillary earlier.

So at times Fox really is the best at being honest this cycle and at times they are the old Fox.

Fox is unfair to Obama & Clinton (2.00 / 1)

That being said, Clinton has had to resort to using Fox as an information outlet for her campaign because for the most part, MSNBC is far more unfair to Clinton than Fox <--- That's just sad, I never thought I would see MSNBC so blatantly unfair toward one candidate....especially Chris Matthews.

False hope is not pro-Clinton (none / 0)

While most of their coverage seems pro-Clinton lately, they do not have her best interests at heart.

Propping up Clinton so she can continue attacking Obama is not a pro-Clinton bias, it's just as cruel as if they were still asking about her "time of the month" interfering with Clinton's effectiveness as Commander-in-Chief or hinting at her involvement with Vince Foster's death again.

In this avalanche, the pebbles get to vote.

Re: Chris.... (none / 0)

You're not even reading what I have to say. Neither Fox nor Chris Matthews has Clinton's best interests at heart.

I do not watch Fox (none / 0)

I think that option should be added to the poll
to get a more scientific poll.

Re: Fox News Bias in the Democratic Primary [Poll] (2.00 / 1)

I never watched Fox before this. But after all the other news channels were trying to cram hatred and favoritism down my throat, I just stopped watching them and found that Fox was doing neither.

hey. dont judge., I know, but you cant blame Hillary supporters for not wanting to watch hatred and name calling of the candidate they support. That would be wierd. So as strange as it may sound, Fox doesn't try to sway me in my vote or spew hatred for hillary like msnbc. Obama supporters may not understand this aspect because you have a pro-obama news, and its nice to listen to people to support your candidate, but what happens if you dont support the candidate of choice.

Its a smart move by Fox, they have republican support and boost their numbers with Hill suppporters, by not caring who wins the dem nomination and at least being equal in hatred to both of them.

I think people are just tired of the favoritism, some people just want to hear the news without pro- or anti- spin.
