So its no mystery to 90% or so of the people here that actually bother to watch some FOX News from time to time, but in case you've been living under a rock let me break it down for you:
They are biased. Shamefully and absurdly biased. While they may operate under a slogan of "Fair and Balanced" they are a few stone throws away from outright Rush Limbaugh partisanship to the GOP.
However, you will probably encounter numerous people throughout the U.S. who will argue that FOX is in fact NOT biased and that its "the liberal media" (IE: everything that isn't right wing talk radio, right wing publications or FOX) that is in fact biased and the real problem. Many have differed on what exactly to say to these confused individuals. But today I present to you something so egregious and shameful that you can simply point to it and not have to go further in wasting your time -
From Media Matters (Link: http://mediamatters.org/... )
"On the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," claiming that Steinberg's June 28 article on the "ominous trend" in Fox News' ratings was a "hit piece." During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered."
Here is the Video in question:

I rest my case.. FOX News - a "news" outlet run by overgrown children.
