Russia embraces religious intolerance with draconian blasphemy and anti-gay laws

I think their analysts would disagree with you,

Of course they would. You think Alan Colmes will ever admit that he was the faux liberal on the Hannity Show?

and whenever a media study is conducted Fox always comes out with the most balanced coverage.

What media studies are these? The studies I've seen portray Fox viewers as the most uninformed. They're part of the reason we can't have a rational discourse on politics anymore. The far right now has its own set of facts delivered by their own alternate "news" (propaganda) source.

You’re just mad because they destroyed the left-winged monopoly held for 30 years.

Oh, I see, you actually believe the conservative whine about the "liberal media". If there ever was one in this country, it certainly hasn't existed since a few major corporations took them over. Now, we get the corporate spin on everything.

If you have any doubts of this, just observe the media's coverage of the recent Iraq War, both in the run-up and during. Not only did the media cheer-lead the drive to war, they did zero in the aftermath to hold the Bush administration accountable for lying us into it. It wasn't until 2006 that a reporter FINALLY had the temerity to ask Bush why we invaded Iraq. No reporter dared ask a follow up question when Bush repeated the lie that it was a response to 9/11. Few questions have been asked since. Phil Donahue was fired from "liberal" MSNBC for telling the truth about the Iraq War. No apology has been offered, as far as I'm aware, since he turned out to be completely right.

"Liberal media" my ass.

you must just have a problem with Fox.

Nope.

CNN (or TeaNN) is Fox light. It wants to be Fox so bad it can sometimes taste it. The nickname comes from the fact that CNN kick started the Tea Bagger movement (I refuse to call them the Tea Party, out of respect for the anti-corporate patriots of some 240 years ago).

MSNBC also owns CNBC (remember Santelli's delusional rant that is credited for starting the equally delusional Tea Bagger movement). While it's trumped up as a "liberal station", even liberal commentators there need to watch their step. Phil Donahue learned this lesson the hard way. Keith Olbermann hasn't been seen or heard from in years (seriously, anyone know what happened to him, I sometimes wonder if he's at the bottom of a river somewhere wearing cement overshoes). If you look carefully, you can see Rachael Maddow treading lightly as she speaks about her colleagues without naming them.

If you're an American who wants to know what's going on, you need to go to foreign sources of journalism like the BBC.

Anyone who believes Bill O’Reilly is unfair because AL FRANKEN says so is pretty fringe left.

Or because he was on video going foaming at the mouth insane and then lying about it afterwards.

Anyone who thinks Obama is not even a Liberal is pretty fringe left.

You say that I am.

Thing is, the base of the GOP has gone so far off the right wing deep end that the entire left wing is just a faint blur. And you listen only to what comes from inside your own alternate reality bubble that you have no idea that what you call "fringe" is becoming increasingly mainstream.
