Murdock and Fox News Opinion

• None more ruthlessly than Murdoch and the infoentertainment empire he controls. Its flagship US operation is Fox News that Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) calls “the most biased name in news….with its extraordinary right-wing tilt.” In response, Murdock defiantly “challenge(s) anybody to show me an example of bias in Fox News Channel” because in his world the entire political spectrum begins and ends with his views. For him and his staff, “fair and balanced,” we report, you decide” means supporting the boss. Alternative views are biased, verboten and rarely aired. But they’re hammered when they are as the “liberal” mainstream that’s code language for CNN and other rivals at a time all media giants match the worst of Fox and are often as crude, confrontational and unprofessional.

FactCheck.org

• We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit, "consumer advocate" for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews, and news releases.

Media Research Center

• The mission of the Media Research Center is to bring balance to the news media. Leaders of America's conservative movement have long believed that within the national news media a strident liberal bias existed that influenced the public's understanding of critical issues. On October 1, 1987, a group of young determined conservatives set out to not only prove — through sound scientific research — that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values, but also to neutralize its impact on the American political scene. What they launched that fall is the now acclaimed — Media Research Center (MRC).
