Fox News is hardly news these days. Today their front page headline was about the Obamas being on vacation. This, on a day when the Senate Republicans fell flat on their face on healthcare. Wonder why that only got a small mention way at the bottom. Even now the main headline is about Palin suing the NYT.
Your basic problem is viewing this as a left/right divide, when it's really a reasonable journalism/explicitly partisan reporting divide. Conservatives have been trained by decades of talk radio to think this way, and now all they have left on their side is a bunch of charlatans. CNN or MSNBC aren't paragons of virtue, but at least they are not completely disingenuous hucksters like the ones Fox trots out all the time. Hell, MSNBC even features their own right-wing charlatan in Hugh Hewitt.
- xname2 9y agoYour premise is that Google News only include news, which is totally wrong. Google News includes lots of comments. For example, Huffington post appears a lot in Google News.
- tacomonstrous 9y agoI think you're letting your biases about Google color your vision. I've had plenty of recommendations from Fox News, NR and the WSJ on Google News, so I can easily counter your own anecdata with mine, but, unlike you, my conclusion wasn't that Google had a right wing bias. EDIT: Oh, and I totally missed your remark about the Huffington Post. The reality is quite the contrary! Until the recent lay-offs post the Verizon acquisition, they had some of the best reportage on legislative activities in the House. Certainly, they have a liberal bent (which they do not hide), but the reporters they have (or had) are very good at their jobs.
