[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4031036, member: 24302"] Which is simply not true. If you had a Democrat president up for reelection, and a large field of Republican candidates, you wouldn't see the Republicans on MSNBC or CNN given time to make their case. What you would see is propping up the Democrat president, making everything he says sound brilliant while leaving no stone unturned to find everything negative about the Republicans. And yes, that happens on FOX opinion shows, but not on the FOX hard news shows. Bret Baier, who moderated the Sanders town hall, is the FOX news anchor and does an excellent job of keeping things "fair and balanced". Even on shows like Tucker Carlson's they have leading Democrats on all the time including candidates. What it comes down to is do you want a network that only expresses what you want to hear? Does it outrage you that any network expresses views that you don't want to hear? Do you want there to be some way(and I'm talking about readers here in general, not you Box Ox)to drive all opposition views off the air? If so, then you're not really advocating for democracy, but a one party state that controls everything. That would make YOU and others like you the problem, not the network that puts on a variety of views, including those you hate. [/QUOTE]
