Having kept quiet for 14 years, a former ABC News correspondent has gone public for the first time with allegations that network anchorman Peter Jennings manipulated news scripts during the 1980s to praise the Marxist-backed Sandinista government in Nicaragua.

And some people call Fox biased...

The average American had supected this for a long time, turns outs its true.

Its a good day now that stanglehold was finally broken.

Its also not suprising most of those news media didn't jump on this.

Uh, that story is two years old and Jennings is dead. What point does this serve?

I would say its a shot at ABC's left wing leanings with some data to back it up.

I know its old, but true none the less.

My point was to show absolute proof of left wing bias in the media, since I see alot of liberals here calling Fox News propaganda and totally forget to mention other news simply because it is left wing. I thought it was getting old.

If they are going to do that then they need to start with themselves and liberal left wing news, which was totaly slanted long before Fox came into existance. The duplicity in which they accuse news sources (Fox being their main target) that don't agree with thier views is totally hypocritical in my oppinion.

The problem is that people know that ABC is a left leaning organisation and that Fox is a right leaning organisation hence I suspect the reason many people prefer to use the BBC and CNN as more balanced sources.

Well the article does also mention something about CNN as well, the same person also worked for CNN and blew the whistle on them too, so I don't think they are balance as well.

Probably true however next to Fox and ABC the are at best center left and I would consider the BBC to be center right and as I am a mixture of both left and right I consider them balanced (I think).

No matter what organisations you choose to use they all have a political slant one way or another you just and it is usually compounded by the invdividual's political leanings ie a confirmed right winger may see Fox as centerist, CNN and BBC as mildly left and ABC extreme left vice versa for a Lefty.

It all boils down to this: get your news from many sources and all sides and make your own determinations or you'll be just another sheep.
