Fox News ACA special

[CellarRat]

Pretty good program. Not sure when the next replay is.

I was hoping for good news, but it seems like it's been a miserable disaster so far.

If you get a chance try to catch it.

Do you honestly think Fox would have made this special if they had good news to report? Come on.

After you watch Fox's special, go over to MSNBC and they will tell you how great it is. Both will tell 'facts' to defend their pre-determined opinions. The real truth will lie somewhere in between.

I don't think the comparison of Fox News to msnbc is fair. If you said fox to cnn or main stream media I could agree. Fox leans right but have opposing views. Msnbc is extreme left and not a legitimate news source.

With regard to the program it is hosted by Brett Baer and it does provide both proponents and opponents of the ACA.

Your post is a typical milquetoast response by trying to keep everyone happy while conveniently making yourself seem like the most reasonable person is the room.

That's a good question! Maybe not.

But I agree that the bias is not how you report a story, but what stories are reported.

You dont have to be very reasonable in this room to get that award. By your own admission, there should be no compromise. And thats exactly what we get from both sides of the aisle here. As an added bonus, you even get insults and name-calling to keep that no-compromise theme thriving.

Well that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I just took exception to your post as it equated Fox News to msnbc. You obviously know very little about the ratings of those networks. Fox beats them all including cnn. Msnbc is followed by a few left wing loons. It is an insignificant network.

My other problem is that you seem to find both sides equally wrong and equally valid and that is fine when they are, but that is rarely the case. Sometimes there is no room to compromise and maintaining the status quo is the best you can do. Is that so difficult to understand?

[indian82]

Not sure what you mean by 'equally wrong'. I do not think that either side is always wrong or always right. Thats why in most issues I see room for compromise unless it involves something critical that one side cannot give in.

Some of your comments before gave the impression you would never compromise.

As to the networks, Fox is the most conservative by far.

Here is a video of what I mean although dealing with an entirely different subject.
