Fox is balanced...they have just as many Dems as Republicans and actually some of their experts are libs. Name a Conservative that airs on CNN....

Bill O' is very critical of the Bush administration at times. Alan Colmes is very liberal and he's on Fox...

And the Conservative opinion on msnbc comes from? Cnn? CBS?

Well, I agree that in order to be a responsible voter, I, the voter have the responsibiltiy to doing my homework. However, you can still get "sound bites" from the internet as well.........The sources for investigation have to be legitimate.....What about an organization that does conservative ratings.........I'd like to look at both if you can provide both organizations names so I can "check it out"!

FOX is considered THE conservative media........otherwise you wouldn't have called them "fair and balanced"........after all they are "media".!

all those (i'm not an expert) additions are cute dude. smart ass comments are great and i can play the game too.

"Strom T. is a good example also why there should be term limits."
that may very well be the first time you've mentioned the other side. Well done...it's not as hard as it seems now is it big guy.

Well I for one want a candidate that I don't need to do research on!! I want an honest candidate.

I also like Lou Dobbs............ I never thought CNN was specifiacally either..... truth is when I hear any rundown of a candidate I hear what I want to hear - just like the rest of the US.......... hell I don't think anyone knows for sure what the candidates stand for. If I have to do Harvard research to find out.............. why bother?

See...People are so used to the media being liberal that when a network actuallys swings to the middle it is called conservative. A lot of people like the network....The ratings for Fox during the state of the union were twice that of CNN and MSNBC...I guess the public is deciding where they get the best information... and the overwhelming winner is....FOX NEWS...fair and balanced...lol

You gotta be kidding me....CNN is VERY Liberal. truth is when I hear any rundown of a candidate I hear what I want to hear - just like the rest of the US.......... hell I don't think anyone knows for sure what the candidates stand for.

Do you really think CNN is balanced?

I'm just saying, they are THE conservative media.....and everyone knows it. I'm not saying I do or don't like the network; I tune in to watch college hoops (he he he).....I wouldn't call them the overwhelming winner....personally, I think a lot of people skip the news all together because it's so damn depressing.......I'd rather watch a movie.

Here is a site where you can take a look at a LOT of information on your favorite...or not so favorite candidate.


Project Vote Smart - Senator Clinton - Biography

I used CNN's Poll leader Hillary as an example but you can pull up any leader.

This site has the speeches, public statements, voting records, interest group ratings (which lets you see how groups rate the candidates...example..Planned Parent Hood gives Brownback a 0% but Right to Life gives him 100% rating and Hillary is just the opposite. So you can see what group is supporting what candidate....that tells a lot about a candidate in my opinion) and if you will click over the campaign finance part you can pull up all of their contributions and from who or what industry and how much. For example the Oil and Gas industry is #6 on Brownbacks contributions but no where to be found on Hillary's. Hillary's #1 contribution is Lawyers and Law Firms...each person can draw their own conclusions from this but candidates can be on CNN/ FOX or whatever and say what they want but where their money comes from, who supports them and how they have voted in the past speaks volumes about what they stand for. Tex...you don't want to know anything about your candidates except the 15 second clip the media wants you to see so you can ignore this post.
