Comments on: Fox News - Unfair and Unbalanced? http://www.finlandforthought.net/2004/11/29/fox-news-unfair-and-unbalanced/ Politics, current events, culture - From Finland & United States Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:07:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: G http://www.finlandforthought.net/2004/11/29/fox-news-unfair-and-unbalanced/#comment-148 G Thu, 02 Dec 2004 04:30:04 +0000 /?p=42#comment-148 The idea that a journalistic source should be biased either left or right is insane. It goes against the very idea of journalism. Take a look at BBC World for an unbiased news source. The idea that a journalistic source should be biased either left or right is insane.

But when you compare Fox News with CNN or instance, Fox will look "right-wing" while CNN looks "left-wing". About the nationalistic stance, I think that has very little to do with left or right-wing media outlets. Take the recent Finnish-American custody battle in Finland for instance. The Finnish media has undoubtately taken a pro-nationalistic stance on the issue. So in that regard, I think the US media and Finnish media are equally nationalistic.

Which planet do you live on! Compered to the European media most is about right as you can get. There is often a strong nationistic stance plus the amount of <i>placed</i> media is huge.
