They aren't, not even that close. Fox News actually has really good "news" programs during the day. Brett Baier and Shephard Smith do a really good job in the evening. But all you hear about are the opinion talking head shows like O'Reilly, Hannity, Greta, etc...
I've never seen legit news from MSNBC. I've seen them have news then immediately turn to a panel of hipsters to get their thoughts.
That's the difference. Two ends of the political spectrum, one actually tried to inform you to some degree, the other doesn't give a shite.

Fox News has succeeded again. They find the one person that had a problem with Bubba eating at a waffle house and made it headline news. The masses love stupid shite like this. Get the people angry. Get the people to create threads in various forums across the internet to express their anger, displeasure, etc. Get people to watch more fox news.
The one person? isn't this exactly what Michelle Obama has been peddling since they got in the White House, all the while she is eating fat dripping ribs at bar-b-qs?

I mean, wasn't the mayor of New York wanting to ban 32OZ soft drinks (as if people could not buy two 16oz drinks if they wanted)
LINK
Bloomberg even banned food donations to food shelters because the government can't assess the salt content.

This isn't "the only person". This is becoming a widespread thing by top government officials.

And fox News didn't create this. they reported it. Big difference. What you SHOULD be asking is why the other news outlets did NOT report it. Hiding more stupid stuff said by liberals, maybe?

Matthews? You mean the impartial reporter that got chills up and down his legs when Obama walked into the DNC in 2007?

I thought you might not like it if I quoted a conservative source, so I am quoting what is probably one of your favorite, "impartial" sources...The Huffington post".
People criticize Fox then run to turn on MSNBC.

All news stations do what they do to get viewers so that they get more money. They try to make the news as entertaining as possible and pander to those who are more likely to watch them.
No one is free of personal bias, including the editors who decide what and how news is presented. Most of the news networks have a left-lean to them. It's obvious to anyone who leans right. Fox News has an obvious right-lean to them. That's obvious to everyone, including those who lean right.

But think of the children!!
They will watch Bubba eating at Waffle House and eat there, themselves, and get fat, and die without getting to ever vote for the first transgender president, which would be a disservice to the kids and the world.

What's funny is, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and just about any syndicated newspaper in existence are dying slow painful deaths with 1/10th the viewership/listenership as FOX and the majority of talk-radio.
I mean Meagan Kelly ALONE gets higher viewership ratings than all of MSNBC's daily shows combined.
The vast majority of people in this country are just tired of how overwhelmingly absurd the Liberal media outlets are with their asinine "reporting" of news. Everyone and their brother knows they NEVER actually report real news. It's all beyond slanted and overflowing with bias and outright lies. Like incredible retarded amounts of lies. They're a complete joke and only retards of the highest ignorant degree still watch and believe them.
FOX is slanted right, there's no question, but they still report actual news.
All that said, if you want real factual news, you have to go to sites like Liveleak and Wikileaks and read blog sites from independents.

The quality of Fox is better. I've not seen much of daytime Fox. But their aim is the same as MSNBC. Their whole business model revolves around pissing people of their respective party off by showing the "travesties" of the other side.
Is everything these channels do bad? No. But they both are a cancer on politics in this country.

The US is an oligarchy and this whole us vs them mentality of the two parties is what they use to keep it that way. People just want to feel like they are apart of something and that bad things can be blamed on somebody or some group. The people at the top pulling the strings know this and used that nature in us all to prop up the current two party system.

Or the westboro babtist church guy that represents the way all Christians think right. MSNBC and other news outlets have been shoving this motherfricker down Christian throats for years because we are all gay bashing, hate fueled god loving people.

There have been uprisings against the 2 party system but the issue comes down to money and the 2 parties can simply outspend any one and anything because they collectively have all the chips.
That being said, politicians need term limits because until then they will continue to represent themselves above those they are appointed to represent.

I'm not sure how to fix it but significantly limiting the amount of lobbying money that companies can contribute to candidates and their causes is probably the right start. If we had politicians whose only allegiance was to their constituents who voted them in and not the people/companies who funded their campaigns/agendas, I think it's possible we'd end up with a political system with more than 2 parties (and the 2 parties we have now wouldn't be bought and owned).

What's funny about this is this is all public record and yet it still continues and no one talks about it. These companies stand to make billions of dollars depending on legislature. For instance, the huge go Green push. Companies have been feeding money into politics to encourage going green because they stand to make substantial amounts of money on it. Companies backing poltical agendas would hurt significantly if you reduce a persons term limit to say a max term of 2 years but then if he was helped elected he still has his lobbyist to ensure earmarks and other things happen in that companies favor. Money is really the driving force behind everything. Politics in this country is pretty much legal corruption.

I think that reality speaks more to those running rather than the companies funneling money into campaign coffers.

Those that run are typically blue blooded narcissistic types. Not that there aren't good politicians but overall I think you can see the types in Washington that fit this description.

The problem is it's so corrupt up there that the honest ones have to conform and compromise their values just to compete. And once they start doing that, they just become part of the problem. But if they didn't do it, they'd never be allowed to get anything done and eventually be ousted or blackballed out.
The vast majority of politicians are already compromised and dirty before they even reach the major leagues in Washington anyways.
Ron Paul is the only guy I've ever seen make it up there without being a fake and caving to the pressures of the game, and look what happened to him. Branded a kook. But everything he ever said would happen has happened and been true. The guy could have really changed things, but look what "they" did to ensure that wouldn't happen.
And Rand Paul is a pretty good guy, but you can see where he's making compromises to avoid having what happened to his father happen to him too. Same thing is happening with Cruz and Lee. Trey Gowdy is about the only guy I really like in Congress right now. He's the real deal like Ron was. But they media is starting to create propaganda about him now too.
The whole place is a shite show mess and we've pretty much lost our power to fix it. It's just that far gone.
