Is Fox News really fair and balanced?

Are you being facetious or are you really asking this?

If you have web access, compare their web site with their "sister" station
Sky News.

Since I no longer live in the U.S., I have a different agenda than people
who do (although I am a U.S. citizen) and then seem far more fair and
balanced than the international versions of CNN.

You can also compare them to the BBC, who believes that any one who murders
for politics is an "activist" or if they are a mass murderer, a "militant".
The only people they called terrorists were the IRA and as soon as Blair
started to give them what they wanted, the BBC stopped calling them
that.

IMHO the only fair and balanced news report on television is Jay Leno's
monologue. He leans far to the left, but he makes fun of everyone.

One must sift through the material extant and distill to the best of
one's abilities an approximation of the truth. This requires developed
critical thinking abilities, not something one gets in a standard
education these days.
