I didn't suggest, nor do I think you are intimidated or discount FOX News.
I am not asking you to speak for the Obama administration or Mock members as to why they decry FOX News as a racist, 100% GOP partisan network.
But I truly would love to know your opinion.
I'd guess that FOX is regarded by some as racist and 100% GOP partisan because it leans heavily to the conservative right in how it presents the news/opinions covered. I would imagine its regular audience is largely white, Republican, and thinks society is too liberal these days. FOX News appeals and possibly caters to that demographic.
MSNBC and Huffington Post, on the other hand, probably have a more diverse racial audience and definitely lean more to the left (IMO) in how they present the news/opinions covered. I imagine the partisan-affiliation of their regular audiences is less definitive than FOX News', but likely majority Democrat.
Those are only my guesses/opinions as to why FOX News might be viewed as racist and GOP-leaning, and why a couple of other media outlets have been mocked as liberal rainbow-chasers and things like that several times by posters here.
I've never gotten the sense that anyone here feared media sources though.
