The FCC does not regulate cable TV, hence, the viewers need to be discriminating. You have to watch both left and right to get the unvarnished truth. Watch Fox if you want the right side. If you want the left side, watch ABC, CBS, or CNN. If you want the far left, watch NBC. If you want the extreme left, watch MSNBC or Current TV. Simple.

What Americans don’t understand and Fox news is pushing really hard is that there’s no difference between bias and propaganda. You can have a bias for chocolate but until you lie and cheat to get people to eat chocolate also it’s just a bias. Rachel Maddow admits to having a liberal bias, but she doesn’t make up lies to convince you to believe what she says. When news personalities make mistakes it’s usually to the benefit of their bias that’s only human. The propaganda we see on FOX News and Rush Limbaugh, is systematically designed to trick you into believing something that is not true. A good example was when Fox news continually repeated the claim that Obama took the work requirement out of welfare. The same claim was repeated hour after hour from show to show, it was clearly designed to mislead and truck people.
It’s a false equivalency, to compare MSNBC to Fox news, yes MSNBC is biased liberal, but they are not a propaganda network. Since I’m concerned with the truth, if I found out that Rachel Maddow or Chris Hayes we’re feeding me misinformation they would lose me as a viewer.

A mistake is not a lie. And the fact that he corrected himself publicly and on air shows that he can be trusted. Show me where Fox has issued a retraction for one of their mistruths.
