Mitt Romney is one of the greatest and most irresponsible debt creators of all time

Fox News isn't any where near far right. In fact, they are mid stream at best and slightly slanted right.

They are just shown to be far right because of how far left the rest of the world has moved.

If Fox news is big where your at and you don't like it, then move to either coast or way north. It isn't so big there - at least when I was there.

Many of past GOP presidential candidates have been employed in some capacity by Fox (Santo, Gingrich, Huckabee, and Veep candidate Palin). Don't know if they are a "conservative" station (whatever definition of conservative you want to use), but they are empirically a propaganda organ for the Republican party.

Not going to argue that Fox is more Republican than any other of the stations. Saying that Fox is the only Republican station compared to all the rest of the MSM is debatable, but generally true.

Calling Republican and Conservative the same thing isn't really close IMO though.

Calling Republican more conservative than the Democratic party for the last 40 years of so -- debatable, but generally true as well.

If you are calling Fox a Republican rag -- I suspect I can find people who call CNN the Communist News Network -- ABC, NBC and CBS propaganda machines for the Democratic Party, etc.

It all depends on where you are coming from, and who taught you what, and who you think you should have listened to.

With all that said, none of them are conservative. (By the definition that I grew up with.) Conservative implies God, Country, Family in that order where Liberal implied Government, Self, and Money. Republicans are kind of in the Big Business, Money, Country, wishy washy God, Self, Family role from what I have seen right now......so no I don't really call that conservative. Democrats seem to be in the Government, Self (I can do whatever I want), Money, Family role right now and that is way from conservative.

So if I got this straight every channel other than Fox is full of Democrats and Liberal journalists (I'll give you MSNBC of course). This is what I like to call the conservative delusion: there is a nation wide conspiracy among journalists to feed liberal propaganda and only Fox reports the "truth."

I have to admit there are, unfortunately, some deluded liberals like you who believe the "corporate media" props up Republican talking points and only MSNBC reports "the truth."
