And yes, I find sourcing Colbert in a discussion on bias to be hilariously ironic as well. Do you often confuse satire with facts? How many other comedians do you get your news from? Does Dane Cook give you weather reports?

By the way, lets not attack the messangers, and attack the message. Who cares if Jon Stewart noticed the flaw in their reporting. If any other reporter, comedian, or drunk person caught it, it would not change the underlying facts. And these are not opinions that are being slanted, they're lying and presenting these things as facts.

I have a lot more examples of Fox being biased on their 'news' in my bag. I don't even think MSNBC compares.

As I said, if you want to continue to make a meaningless comparison, continue to do so. There are plenty of examples on both sides if you want to have a fair mind about the comparison, but you don't want to have a fair mind, you simply want to "win" regardless of if your comments have any bearing on the conversation at hand (you tend to do this a lot). You want to argue your world view, damn the topic being discussed, inconvenient facts or objective thought.

Just please realize that you do so only to excuse the fact that the news source you sympathize with is biased (self-delusion is a character trait I can't stomach). Pointing out the bias of another source does not excuse the bias of the one you happen to like. Thats the only point I've made in the entirety of our discussion and a point you have yet to address in any meaningful way. Instead you continue to attack Fox instead of answering to the points I've raised. In effect, you're the best example I could wish for to defend my assertions!

Game, you are the case in point; exhibit "A", if you will. Thank you for illustrating my argument so well by simply existing.

Here's a concession to hopefully get you to focus on the conversation at hand: FoxNews is more biased than MSNBC. Now can you actually address the points I've brought up?
