(<a href="http://www.cmpa.com/releases/07_12_21_Election_Study.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>) Why weren't the other cable news channels included in this study? They based Fox's results on only the 1st 30 minutes of Brit Hume's show...I wonder if the results would have been the same if the looked at O'Reilly of Hannity & Colmes? Come on guys this was clearly a <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Center_for_Media_and_Public_Affairs#Funding" rel="nofollow">conservative-funded study</a>!

Still, a little more transparency on their part is all I ask. I agree with Radiojoe1470 [#54] - the media may have a bias against Republicans, but when they smell blood, partisanship goes out the window. For the 24-hour networks, sensationalism [which leads to higher ratings, aka $$$] always comes first. Why do you think Fox hangs on to whats-his-'stache? ezupirate75 – Fair enough about content analysis, I spoke too soon! Still, a little more transparency on their part is all I ask.

LOL. Lets remember, the democrats refuse to go on FOX News and later they will claim that they didn't get any time. Hillary on O'Reilly? It's not going to happen. You see we're in the middle of global warming so there is no way hell will freeze over. So you’re the one that watched MSNBC. LOL.

When I watch Fox & they have a political discussion they almost always have a Dem. analyst & a Rep. analyst & while I have never put a stop watch on it, it appears they get about the same amount of time. The last time I watched MSNBC, Olberman had on Randi Rhodes of Air America & a Dem. analyst & that was considered a fair discussion by their standards. never a good look for anyone of any political persuasion.
