Leaning right doesn't do it for me, but if fair & balanced was applied in the takkiya sense I might like it more...
We gain NOTHING by playing nice with evil IMO.
I want the truth in news, nothing more or less. Ideally, the electorate can only make accurate decisions if we know the truth. So I don't want my news to be so skewed to the Right that I can't glean the truth. Having a "counter" to the Leftist behemoth news media is all well and good, but if it strays too far, it gives us no better ability to glean the truth and make decisions. I don't want - nor would I watch - a conservative version of MSNBC.
Look at Wallace, Baier, Garrett, Henry, Cameron, et al. All of them, to one degree or another, live up to the classic mission of what a "journalist" is supposed to be. They hammer and dig and pick at whatever and whomever they need to in order to uncover what the public wants to know. The same cannot be said for reporters or anchors anywhere else.
