Yep, Fox News is Fair and Balanced

You can't get a Democrat to appear in a debate on Fox News, but they may have to reconsider when they read this:
The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University found in a new study that Hillary Clinton has been criticized more than any other presidential candidate in TV election coverage this fall. According to the study, Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee have had the most positive coverage.

The study is based on 481 election stories that aired on the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, NBC and "Special Report." The findings reveal that on-air evaluations of Clinton were negative nearly 60 percent of the time, while evaluations of Obama were positive 61 percent of the time.

Among Republicans, Huckabee fared the best, while Rudy Giuliani and John McCain were given negative on-air evaluations more than 60 percent of the time.

And which network was the most fair and balanced you ask? Well, FOX News Channel of course. The study revealed that this network's coverage was more balanced than any of the other networks. The study found that on FOX evaluations of candidates were perfectly balanced: A 50-50 split for candidates in both parties. But, on the three broadcast networks, candidate evaluations for both parties were negative almost 60 percent of the time.
The Democrats need to stop debating on those biased networks and bring their act to Fox News.
