The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellency in Journalism has reported that Fox News is a mirror image of MSNBC when it broadcasts programs based upon political ideology. According to the report, "Fox's and MSNBC's coverage of the candidates' character themes are mirror images of each other. Fox has offered a mixed view of Romney, but its assessments of Obama's record and character have run negative by a measure of six to one. The numbers are almost identical, in reverse, for MSNBC."

What continues to amaze me is the notion that conservatives continue to stand by their hard and fast belief that Fox News is actually what they proclaim on their banner, to be "Fair and Balanced." Despite the fact conservatives state with equal conviction that MSNBC is the media outlet that is biased and far to the left of the liberal standard, I find it ironic that even liberals admit that MSNBC is liberal and does present such a bias with shows like The Ed Show and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. So why is it so hard for conservatives to admit their outlet is just as ideologically biased as those they routinely dismiss? Six to One? That's hardly "Fair and Balanced."
