found what many people already known - Fox News is the most FAIR AND

With 22% and 25% positive coverage of McCain and Obama and 40%
negative of both, Fox News comes out as the most FAIR AND BALANCED
news on television. The libs are caught in yet another lie!

With 10% and 43% positive coverage of McCain and Obama and 73% and 14%
negative coverage of McCain and Obama, MSNBC comes out as the most
BIASED News on television.

Read it and weep libs - Fox is the fairest news out there and the rest
of the media is in Obama's pocket.

If you believe that, then I have a bridge that connects Manhattan and
Brooklyn that's for sale

Give me a break

You have demonstrated your extreme stupidity if you think for one
moment that FOX is fair and balanced

Now we do admit that MSNBC and especially Keith Olbermann is not fair
and balanced - indeed, that's why we love him

But it is so intellectually dishonest to say that there is anything
fair and balanaced about FOX, especially when they go on absolute
rants against Obama, Democrats, Liberals

Where is this story on the REAL Pew website?

The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism is a
research organization that specializes in using empirical methods to
evaluate and study the performance of the press. It is non partisan,
non ideological and non political.

Our goal is to help both the journalists who produce the news and the
citizens who consume it develop a better understanding of what the
press is delivering. The Project has put special emphasis on content
analysis in the belief that quantifying what is occurring in the
press, rather than merely offering criticism and analysis, is a better
approach to understanding.

For its first nine years, the Project was affiliated with the Columbia
University Graduate School of Journalism and had a twin mission of
evaluating the press and helping journalists clarify their
professional principles. The first task, press evaluation, was carried
out through PEJ's empirical research. The second task, clarifying
principles, fell to a group the Project ran, the Committee of
Concerned Journalists (CCJ).

On July 1, 2006, the Project began a major new phase in its history.
It formally separated from CCJ and Columbia University in order to
focus on and expand its research activities. It joined the Pew
Research Center in Washington, D.C, which houses six other research
projects funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The Project also doubled
its staff and set out to significantly expand its research activities.
In 2007, the number of reports it produces will expand from a few a
year to dozens.

Directed by journalist Tom Rosenstiel, PEJ's broadened research agenda
will include a new series of continuing content studies of the news
agenda, plus tracking of key industry trends, and timely commentary
and analysis of that trend data. At the same time, PEJ will also
continue its existing research, including publishing the State of the
News Media, an annual report on American journalism, conducting
"opportunistic" content studies on press performance of key events,
offering occasional analysis of press behavior and publishing the
Daily Briefing, a digest of media news. PEJ's new website is designed
to be an archive of that research and a place for people to conduct
their own inquiries through the searchable and customizable functions
built into the site.

The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan "fact tank" that conducts
public opinion polling and social science research; reports news and
analyzes news coverage; and holds forums and briefings. It does not
take positions on policy issues. In addition to the Project for
Excellence in Journalism, the Center’s projects are: Pew Research
Center for the People & the Press; Pew Internet & American Life
Project; Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life; Pew Hispanic Center; Pew
Global Attitudes Project and Pew Social and Demographic Trends. The
Center is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation which operates under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code. It was
established in 2004 as a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts.
