Said Brzezinski of the media establishment: “I will say what people aren’t saying: It’s got a liberal worldview.” Brzezinski said that though “there are great people working at the networks,” who work hard to remain objective, they are mostly Democrats — and it shows. “The balance is not there within the objective mainstream media. It’s not. It is not.” Brzezinski drew a distinction between those well-intentioned, if biased, colleagues and the “cartoonish” figures on the right and the left of the cable news divide, saying that she and her colleagues at Morning Joe make an effort to avoid those one-dimensional characterizations: “We try to be transparent about who we are and where we come from, and what our worldview is and what our knowledge base is on every issue. And we are not trying to be anything more than what we are. And that is extremely honest.” When asked by host Julie Menin if liberal bias was “seeping into the coverage” Brzezinski said emphatically that yes, it was, and suggested that journalists should declare their political affiliation — and who they voted for in the last election. “Come on, are you telling me that a reporter for a great news organization does not have opinions?” said Brzezinski. “Every reporter, every anchor, every human being that is a personality on television has opinions, and has a worldview and has a slant.” Brzezinski said that audiences would appreciation the media rejecting the pretense of objectivity and declaring bias, saying “We have [to] know that the viewer’s smart about that, and if you are fair and you are looking for the truth, you can be trusted. And you’ve got to be honest. “The reason why we’ve got these extremes is a reaction to the “objective” mainstream media, that is so not objective when you have most of them being Democrats, or liberals, running it. That’s why we have Fox. Because it wasn’t honest. And because there was a reaction out there to this.” Comment: Yes dear, those of us with a brain demanded a FOX fair and balanced approach. At least you get it, now good luck convincing your ilk.

I have watched them all and Fox is the ONLY network that puts Liberals on as guests all the time, gives them their own shows (Shepard Smith, Greta Van Sustern) and allow for open debate and discussion of the issues. I don't get that from MSNBC with Chrissy "Obama speaks and I get a tingle up my leg" Matthews and that ignorant, imbecilic, ego-maniacal radical Keith Odormann, or that lesbian Rachel Madcow. Same with CNN, ABC, CBS, & NBC, it's all pro Liberal all the time, 24/7/365 so where do you get that Fox is garbage?
