Says it's fair and balanced when in reality it's just another bunch of right wing liberal bashers. In other words...another FAUX NEWS channel.

One should typically try to avoid groups that make it a point to say they are fair and balanced. Either they're blatantly lying or they try to uphold it by instituting a false balance:

I've never heard that Fox has explained their slogan.
Perhaps they think they're "fair & balanced" in the context of being the opposition to leftish news sources?

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Name one fair and balanced source. There arnt any.
The most outrageous claim I know of is NPR's being "neutral".
(I'm sure they believe they are...from their own political, social & economic perspective.)

What they seem to be best at is re writing history. Reagan got caught in the Iran-Contra weapons sales and to hear Fox tell it he never did anything wrong. Probably because of the massive tax cuts he gave the richest people in the country......even though he borrowed the money from foreign banks to do it. Take a look:
