I thought news stations actually attributed statements...
News stations do.
But you are talking about Fox. Make up your mind!! (LOL!)
While rightly called out, it is pervasive across the media in general. I often hear it on the networks and ad nauseum on MSNBC (FOX squared for the left). I wish they would just be honest about it and say "I say...". At least on MSNBC/NBC they refer to the Democrats as us and we, and the Republicans as them. There's a little honesty I guess.

I call BS. Please show one example of MSNBC referring to democrats as us and we and the republicans as them.
Just one example.

Show any proof of what you say. Anything. You might as well've started that post with "Some people say".

That's exactly what he said, in slightly different words.

Low hanging fruit would be Big Ed. Watch online for about 30 seconds and you'll see it, I promise, some say.
Just for kicks (and I think it will be interesting), what does everyone think is the most (hate to say this) "fair and balanced" news/political show on television? You know, some say .... is the fairest.

I would have to say the CBS evening news seems to offer less opinion than most others.

I'll go with PBS Newshour.

Absolute nonsense. MSNBC is probably the leader in searching out and quoting sources. And they don't have to make up stuff like FOX. The only examples you'll find that even come close to the Fox stuff is the conservative dominated Joe. Even Joe admits his leanings.
The only good news coverage otherwise is very early (around 5am) on CBS.

I agree, CBS seems to attempt fairness more than any of the three major evening broadcasts. I'm going to throw out Shep Smith. Ironically, it's probably the least popular show on the whole network. I also think This Week on ABC since getting Stephanopoulos came back. They always have a pretty balanced panel (since Will is there every time).

I dare say I spend more time listening to MSNBC programming than you do. Nonetheless, we're still waiting for some type of proof of your statement.

Sorry :(
Nothing to be sorry about.
We're making fun of Fox on here, not paying homage. It's the reasonable way to go.
Why would News need to be labled "fair and balanced"? News should be the facts/truth and should not need to be qualified. The facts/truth cannot be fair nor can they be balanced. FOX SPEWS acknowledges in its discriptor that it is not really a news station but an opinion station that is attempting to provide a fair and balanced view, since all of the rest of the lame stream media is left slanting.
