Fox News is not the only news that has a bias or agenda. MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, Fox News, CBS, ABC, NBC - ALL OF THEM answer to editors and those editors answer to shareholders.
People like to bash Fox News. They are the bad guy. That is the popular thing to do. But can you honestly sit there and tell me that they are the only channel with blood on their hands? Whether you watch Olbermann, O'Reilly, Cramer, or whoever. They have a spin. When you watch something and learn something, you have to take into account your source. You also have to take a grain of salt with everything they say.
Olbermann himself said ON AIR on HIS OWN SHOW that the reason he has it out for Fox News is that Rupert Murdoch fired him from Fox Sports for reporting that the Dodgers were going to be sold. Rupert Murdoch as you might know owns Fox News. So he admitted ON AIR that he has a personal bias against Fox News. As someone who was taught that when bias is found, all future information is tainted by said bias; everything Olbermann says HAS to go under the micorscope of "Is he saying this simply because he hates Rupert Murdoch?"
Whatever you take away from this, take away this: No news source, political pundit, or comedian is above bias or influence. Such is the simple nature of things. When you watch Olbermann or O'Reilly, please do so, then take that information and read/watch MULTIPLE sources about the same story and then ask yourself what sounds true to you?
