{{cquote| I don’t watch much CNN, they got out ====Criticism of Fair and Balanced slogan====Despite the news business facts above, liberal critics have still complained about Fox's "Fair & Balanced" slogan.

But I look to see if they Democratic politicians and advocates have relentlessly attacked the cable network, sometimes accusing it of being a good documentary Republican [[propaganda|propaganda mill]]. Former Vice-President and environmentalist [[Al Gore]] has likened Fox to a right-wing "[[fifth column]]."

Some have referred to FOX News as "the propaganda arm of the Republican Party" or movie"Faux News.

A recent comprehensive study by [[UCLA]] political scientist Tim Groseclose and University of Missouri-Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Milyo found [[Brit Hume]]'s ''Special Report'' — Fox's most straightforward news show — more centrist than any of the three major networks' evening newscasts, all of which are liberal.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120605223731/http://rcp.missouri.edu/articles/milyo_media.html MU researcher finds most mainstream media contain liberal bias]</ref> The program is a model of smart news television.  Although it is true that Fox's opinion shows (as opposed to its news shows) are, as they're supposed to be, frequently bombastic and opinionated; it is equally true that Fox's biggest super-star, [[Bill O'Reilly]] is not a mainstream Republican, but a registered [[Independent]] who sides with conservatives. He regularly charges the oil companies with price-gouging and attacks big business for quashing the little guy. Greta Van Susteren's politics are unclear, as she mostly covers the [[crime]]-of-the-day stories. [[Geraldo Rivera]] is traditionally liberal on most issues, with the exception of being a strong supporter of the military and stiff penalties for [[sex offender]]s.  Some liberal commentators, such as news analyst [[Marvin Kalb]], and [[Eleanor Clift]], are affiliated with the channel. In general, Fox News is closer to mainstream America than [[CBS]], [[ABC]], [[NBC]] or [[CNN]], its founding mission. === Tony Snow ===
