Well DeltAlum is implying that the President is biased because he worked on a Nixon campaign several decades to go and, in the past, he has attempted to say that Fox is biased.

Fox is biased. I haven't tried to say it -- I have said it. Even the survey you like so much says so.
And Roger Ailes didn't work on Nixon's campaign -- He RAN it. He was the brains behind it. He has also worked on Ford's and Bush I's and I would guess every other Republican presidential campaign until joining Fox.
He was what we would all call a "high ranking Republican official." One of the very top. That's even bigger than a "political insider."
The other really important distinction is that Carville is a commentator who is only responsible for his own commentary -- Ailes has final editorial approval for the network. That is a huge difference.
But the thing that makes my mind up more than anything is that the folks I know at the Fox News network level management group don't even pretend that the network isn't far right alligned.
Now, I don't reall care all that much, except that they hide behind this "ballanced" thing -- and some people who have already pre-judged what is right and wrong actually believe it.
You might even say that IF (and I'm not granting the point) the rest of the media is really so "liberal," that FOX ballances that out. But that certainly doesn't make
Fox ballanced.
Now, I'm done playing Fox games.
