On FNC's 'The Big Story,' NB/MRC's Rich Noyes Discusses NBC's Liberal Bias


Rich Noyes, Director of Research at the Media Research Center and Senior Editor of NewsBusters, appeared at about 5:37pm EST Thursday afternoon on The Big Story with John Gibson on the Fox News Channel. He addressed the liberal bias at NBC News and how, after a ratings slide that has left NBC Nightly News in second place behind ABC's World News, NBC is replacing the Executive Producer of the newscast, the New York Times reported.

Rich raised how ABC's World News, but not the NBC Nightly News, aired a story important to pro-lifers about the survival of the earliest-born ever premature baby, coverage detailed in this NewsBusters item. Gibson asked about the role of controversy over William Arkin, the NBC News military analyst who called troops in Iraq a “mercenary force” and scolded them for daring to criticize Americans for saying they support the troops but not the mission.

It's indefensible.

Dear Dingleberry...Fox has a long list of libs to counter...

Fox, though I will say leans right, has a long list of libs and super-libs they are in bed with that they gladly give air time to for countering conservative arguments. Shut up and blog!

If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!

FOX attacked NBC after being attacked by MSNBC for sometime. FOX waited too long if you ask me.

Well bandini...

My above post still applies to this post of yours.

Fits perfectly. 

Btw...they most certainly have had debates about NBC's bias on Fox. (Bernie Goldberg(sp) and Jane Hall come to mind at the moment), I have seen other balanced discussions on Fox, also it took BOR long enough to wake up and smell the coffee when it came to NBC bias....others yet to come IMO.

Are you saying that KO is fair and balanced?

"He's probably the only one that has anything to do with NBC that does so." That does so what? KO bitches about anything that is conservative OR Republican. He NEVER has opposition on to refute the BS he spews. He's rabidly, uncontrollibly wacked way left!!! If he had any oppositon on his show he'd have cardiac arrest on the set from any other point of view. The guy is bat-s*it nuts. He's damned borderline. I swear the guy is gonna pop a vein on national tv....and he actually believes the crap that comes out of his mouth.

O'Reilly lets on opposing views. He just doesn't (cough.RonCrickenburger.cough) always bother to let 'em get a word in edgewise (cough.RonCrickenburger.cough) when they have the temerity to be (cough.RonCrickenburger.cough) intellectually kicking his populist ass.

"but Olbermann's motto is not fair and balanced"

You're right.

Keith's motto has always been 'I'm a smart ass so nah nah nah'
