Besides being BLATANTLY biased toward the right in all issues (which they freely admit) - which is the opposite of what journalism is meant to be, it now comes out that their supposed "Military Expert" who they claimed served in Vietnam, won the Silver Star, etc, served a grand total of 44 days in the service - all in boot camp. Lieutenant Colonel? Try PFC!
Way to check your "experts" out, Fox! If I want in-depth investigative reporting, I think I'll turn to a network that doesn't even know who its "experts" are...

FOX does not "admit" to being biased toward the right..can you please post the article in which you saw suuch an admission from fox?
FOX may or may not have screwed the pooch with their "Military" adviser, I didn't see the story so I can't comment. What I do know about FOX is that it is THE only US television news organization with a stated goal of reporting the NEWS and not spinning the issues.
There has been recent announcements by whistle blowers at most of the other "NEWS" agencies that there is a decided overbalance toward the left in the US "Jounalism" lately.
On the whole, (and I don't watch television news all that much) When I have viewed FOX, it seemed to me that all they did was report the facts. I would prefer FOX over CNN any day. But I prefer to get my news from a variety of sources on the web, and not just from the US, I particularly like the reporting done by Canadian News agencies...when they are about international issues that is...some of the domestic issues are....hehe not of concern to the USA.
Not trying to bust your bubble, just curious as to what set you off? Just the one incident of the military advisor? Hey, anyone can lie on a resume, it took years for the College coach to get caught, the Fire chief here in DC lied out his arse to get his job, untill you have staffed a company Id be a bit less harsh on the people who are trying to fill the spaces, resumes and refferences are tough to check some times. Hell even the Secretary of the Navy a few years ago had some fibs on his record (the guy who shot himself..don't remember his name...might be Borda or some such)
