Report: Fox News gave GOP presidential candidates $55 million in free advertising

Being on the Fox News payroll has its advantages.
Not only did five potential Republican candidates get regular paychecks from the network last year, but they also got something even more valuable: airtime
Liberal watchdog group Media Matters found that the five received about $55 million in free advertising over the course of more than 85 hours of appearances in 2010.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee appeared for almost 48 hours. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had nearly 14 hours of appearances.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was given close to 12 hours. Former senator from Pennsylvania Rick Santorum and former UN Ambassador under George W. Bush John Bolton both received about six hours.

It is if they are in fact what they claim "committed to being fair and balanced"

Correct. All major news agencies have agendas. The top of which is the almighty buck and their political party. Originally Posted by GearsMcGilf

I agree I believe the only true straight news agency is the BBC. Originally Posted by DOMS

Fuck media matters. Liberals complaining about media bias is like the Backstreet Boys complaining about bad music.

Not so much. They have all sorts of biases. There's an article about it over at Wikipedia. I've read better, but they sum it up decently. Originally Posted by Phetamine

I think Fox is more lopsided towards GOP candidates getting airtime, but if it isn't illegal, so be it. You have the option to change the channel just like everyone else. If you don't know that Fox News isn't fair and balanced by now you are either retarded or from the center part of the country. Tomato, Toematoe.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.
