Actually, as I quoted from a scientific study, I am
correct.

People who think Fox is right wing are generally
from very close to the coasts, in areas where Fox really
is right of the center for that local groups of people.


Go to Alabama or Wyoming and you will find Fox to
be well to the left of the center of those people.
Limbaugh would be closer to their center. When
you average over the whole USA, as represented in
Congress, Fox is centrist.

By that logic, then, a cool day on Venus would be somewhere around 350C, rather than
400C.

You can't measure the centre based on the average of a pre-selected group.
Left/right, when considering politics, can be easily determined in a vacuum if you
look at the policies and values of each group. Conservatives view the world as
entirely self-actuated, self-rewarded and assumed risk at the individual level.
Facism extends this concept to business, where the relationship between government
and business is distinctly favoured over individual rights. Socialists and, going
further, communists (and not the Soviet kind) view the world as mutually-actuated,
mutually-shared rewards and mutually-shared risk. By that measure, Congress is
distinctly conservative, FOX News is clearly right-wing, and we're all going to hell.

CBS, as is the case for all legitimate news organisations, is better at covering a
story with balance and provides opportunities to hear opposing views. FOX exhibits
no such behaviour. And Steve is right.
