The point is they're competing with shows on CNN and MSNBC that are also a mixture of hard news and commentary. It's an apples to apples comparison. Fox has O'Reilly and Hannity. MSNBC has Schultz and Maddow. Originally Posted by joe bloetrue you have a point there, but this is not an accurate list.
it maybe comparing apples to apples in some respects, but its more like comparing apples (news reporting) to oranges (news discussion) given the way the list was set up.
these people (hannity, maddox etc.) are not reporting news, they are discussing the news event of the day and forming/pushing opinions.
have a list that reports the news, not talk about it. then we'll have some meritable discussion on where this news network is fair and balanced and accurate. I suspect that this probably would be a very small list.
otherwise, I think you have to re-word your poll to be more reflective of what you had in mind.
