What do you expect from a news organization who's largest share holder, not related to Murdoch, is the Muslim Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal who is a huge investor and supporter of the Ground Zero Mosque.
Any true Conservative should boycott Fox News immediately. It is truly amazing how uninformed Fox News viewers are. They don't even know that a Saudi prince, who's family rules by Sharia law, can control what they hear and see on FNC.

Good post.
For some reason I didn't know that about ownership.

NPR is my first choice. Don't forget that most of what we refer to as the mainstream media is corporate media. If they are going to have a built in bias, it is toward corporate interests. They have that in common with Fox.
I'm not suggesting that NPR is totally without bias. I do suggest that most NPR broadcasters make an honest effort to fairly report the information that they learn. Even then, NPR relies heavily on the "generosity" of corporate sponsors.

D-Ray

I guess you missed all the relatively favorable coverage the OWS folks received from the corporate media. Or how the media routinely trashes the tabacco companies, banks, oil companies, etc.

Of course that wouldn't because OWS had a point, because the tobacco companies have made their millions distributing poison, because banks have engaged in some might shoddy practices, or because the oil companies have done all within their power to prolong our addiction to fossil fuels, all the while receiving government subsidies. I didn't say that they are blind, just that there are influences working other than the alleged "liberal bias."

You really are in deep, aintcha? The Occupy Wall Street movement is some how equivalent to big Tabacca? Too big to fail banks? and the biggest welfare benefactor, Big Oil? Dayum, whell. I better go look up the address for OWS and inform them...
Too much of those candied apples'll make yer brains fall out.
