Political intolerance? Do you find it equal, or more prevalent in the Left or the Right?

I heard a story on the radio about a couple demanding that Fox News NOT be allowed on the TV's in a County recreational center Cardio room. They've had a petition signed, and are threatening law suits to ensure Fox News is not allowed to be viewed.
Is this Censorship? Intolerance? Appropriate? What are your thoughts?

If they remove Fox News, it is censorship. If down to one or two TVs then OK.
The left is completely intolerant of viewpoints outside of their own, liberals claim to be open minded until the view is not there own. They cry like babies to cut off any information that presents both sides or even discusses a view outside their own.
We can go down the list of topics: Global Warming, now 'Climate Change', Any LGBT issue, Any Christian faith coverage must be in a bad light, Republicans are always parodied as dim witted and slow or specific stories are generated to make it appear this way.
I find the Main Stream Media (NBC, ABC, CBS, NY Times, AP for local papers), CNN, MSNBC unwatchable, they might as well just present the DNC and media matters script straight from a spokesperson. They carry the water for the LGBT community, DNC, Obama administration like Pravda carried the 'truth' for the Soviet Union. I can tolerate Fox News until they get on a story and drive it into the ground. I find the best news sources to be WSJ, BBC, Financial Times, the Economist and on occasion NPR.
I find the US is turning into a country against any group that stands for a Constitutional discussion of rights and principals and I fear for my country, my children and their opportunities.

Well put Sir. I've come to realize that liberals are open minded as long as you accept what they have to say as gospel and reject any opposing viewpoints.

Everyone knows Fox News fabricate lies and distort facts to meet their agendas. Why do you think people who watch Fox News are less informed than those who don't watch TV news at all? It's not a secret that Fox News is only fair and balance when it comes to the weather and the sports section.

Tony,
All news is entertainment, there is no pure news source.
As an example, you provided a link that purports to be objective journalism.
Instead you just provided a great example of a liberal bias news source carrying the water for liberal press.
Note that the ONLY SOURCE for your Poynter is ***According to a follow-up survey by Fairleigh Dickinson University***
I can see you want to make your point, but when you link to a bias news source, it going to be called out.
Thanks for being a consistent liberal!
But I mean it in a good way.
