Is there actually anyone out there who belives Fox's "Fair and balanced'' claim?

I've been studying Fox for university and it is by far the most biased and untrustworthy news source in America. But surely there must be some people who don't see it that way.

Update:

Just to clarify for the guy who wrote the massive spiel about democrats. I'm not American - I'm from New Zealand, so most of what you said doesn't apply.

I'm sure our news has its biases, but a lot of us here watch Fox for fun -- just to see how out of touch with reality some people are. Sure, Olberman is biased, but Fox accuses CNN and THE BBC!! of having a liberal bias. If anything, those networks have a subtle conservative bias.

But for that guy who wanted to debate, I guess they'll report, you'll decide.

    Yes, 3/4 of registered republicans actually think that it is fair and balanced. And the other 1/4 of republicans don't care, they just like to listen to the hate speech.

    In a sense, Fox News' existence does provide a balance for the other 90% of the media that leans to the left.

    I'm afraid there are too many people who believe it. And that's a Fox Fact (as opposed to, I suppose, a factual fact).

    They have such captive audience they believe anything that is said on FOX.

    Its not the most biased. It just leans a little right but not nearly as far as most major sources lean to the left.

    Only conservatives think it's actually "fair and balanced."
