I believe that while reporting on a topic, Fox news has a conservative slant while the other networks take a more liberal one. I think its the topics they chose to report on that make them all conservative. There are so many topics not reported on in this country that you do hear about in other countries. Things are downplayed that shouldn\'t be, and there is just a bias they give you as to what\'s going on in the world.
An example...in my home town during the war in Iraq, there was a peace demonstration, and a support our troops demonstration that happened at the same time to oppose eachother. The peace demonstration had about twice the number of people, and yet when they were reported on, all the networks talked exclusively about the support our troops demonstration and said the numbers were approximately equal, something that was very much not true. This is true for most all demonstrations on all major american networks. They aren\'t reported on and they are downplayed when they are critical of the government. The same thing can be seen in a lot of other areas. Many mistakes and corrupt actions of the US government simply aren\'t reported on, unless they really turn into some sort of large scandal.
Another example is in radio. During the war, Clear Channel released a list of songs with anti-war messages that they didn\'t want any of their stations playing. Among these were songs like John Lennon\'s Imagine. That also sounds pretty conservative to me.
Basically, if you look at the topics reported on in this country compared to other countries, you\'ll see there\'s a lot of news you just don\'t get here that you get in most other nations around the world. That\'s why I think our media is conservative.
