about as much as cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, msnbc, bbc, etc... they all have their slant. the modern media has completely lost their bias, and unfortunately it is up to the reader/viewer to figure out what the bias is and take it into account.

that being said - do you dispute the facts of this story?

I haven't read anything about it other than what's in this thread, so I don't know if it's accurate. You're right, all networks put a "slant" on things, but Fox is blatant and unapoligetic about it. I would have to read more about it from other sources first, because I simply don't trust anything Fox News says.

personally i trust them a little more (after reading between the lines) because i know exactly where they are coming from and they freely admit it. the others pretend that they are unbiased sources of info when they clearly are not.
