24: A Day’s Worth of FDS At Media Matters[W:48]

If the MRC is the source,what about their obsession?

Since the graphic is accurate, I assume that those things were actually said on Fox. Therefore, Media Matters saying that it was is irrelevant according to your logic.

Listen carefully... The MRC is NOT the source and the source is irrelevant because the graphic is accurate.

Can you point out with facts which one of these stories is false. I mean this is what watchdogs do and Fox can avoid this by being, you know, factual in their so-called reporting.

Why?

The op is about their obsession, not their accuracy.
 
rocket88 said:
The topic is that you want to talk about what you want to talk about, and dodge any questions.

Please, one biased website claims another biased website is biased. That's the topic? Seriously?

In other news, Democrats accused Republicans of being politicians, Lake Erie accused the ocean of being wet, and Harold accused Kumar of being a stoner.

I'm going to assume you, like every other liberal on this thread, have no comment on the actual topic.... I'm also going to assume that your false accusation about the MRC was intentional, since you have yet to retract it.

I really don't know why you don't understand. They report what they see, if they saw more problems at CNN then CNN would dominate their reports. This is really not a hard concept. When they actually did have a war on Fox, it was because of Glenn Beck.

Media Matters is still trying to figure out where Malaysia is before they can go after CNN.

They are a watchdog......so when Fox does something that is purposely inaccurate it is up to Media Matters to point it out. Obsession yes, because Fox makes it easy. You want to end the obsession, Fox just has to stop lying.

No your point is stupid on its face.

You are whining like a small child because someone is calling out your heroes for lying. You sound like the "Leave Brittney Alone" guy.

That's another topic entirely... Fox is not "lying" to anyone... however, Media Matters sure as hell lies and deceives it's readers continuously.

Surely you are aware of that?

Anyone who is looking for any fairness in any of the media in the USA will have a long search.

Most people in the USA have a lot of channels to choose from on their TV set. If you don't like what someone is saying you can change the channel or turn the TV off and take a walk.

Not at all... I'm just pointing out their obvious obsession with trying to take down Fox News... It's pathetic.

and yet you have never been able to prove that. Yes fox lies, you can read the stories that you posted in the OP.

Here is a tissue....tell you what get Fox to stop lying and I promise Media Matters will leave them alone.

Are you serious?

Did you just look at this forum today, and just haven't seen the many posts proving Media Matters and their BS?

I'm not the topic...

What's the matter? Are you incapable of addressing the topic without including me in it?
Click to expand...

I keep talking about the topic, and you keep denying it. Just because you don't like how I discuss the topic does not mean I am not discussing it.
 
Ironic that this thread is about obsession.

Look, media sites that criticize media, it is a good thing. Whining about how they criticize the media you agree with, well, it is kinda whiny.

Live and let live, read what you agree with and only see one side of the news, because..that will make you so informed...

Here's the rub though. Media Matters doesn't claim to be "fair and balanced" and never did. The fact that their purpose is to go after conservative misinformation is in their mission statement.

Fox News, on the other hand, DOES claim to be "fair and balanced," yet it is nothing more than the bought-and-paid-for propaganda wing of the Grand Old Party.

What is fun is when some one uses MRC to criticize MM, or MM to criticize MRC. Likewise Newsbusters and MM, both ways. It is hilarious that the same people who complain about MM use MRC and NB, and the same people who complain about MRC and NB use MM.

Isn't it fortunate that I haven't done that here... Which means you could actually talk about the topic instead of trying to change the subject.... of course I said you "could", but we all know that won't happen.

What's fun is YOU describing something that doesn't happen on either side.

Since you won't give a source, I won't give your "topic" the time of day.

One biased site calls another biased site biased. Another day, more "pot, kettle, black" from the MRC.

It is what you've done here, you just won't man up and admit your source. Even though we all know who it is.

What Media Matters said was on Fox is also accurate. Ergo, by your logic, the source is irrelevant. You don't get to decide whose obsession is relevant and whose isn't.

Tell us who the source is if it's not the MRC. Are we expected to believe that you did that yourself?

Is the graphic accurate? If so, the source is irrelevant.

It doesn't matter if it came from the White House, the MRC, The Daily Kos, or Rush Limbaugh.com, as long as it is accurate... If it wasn't accurate, then the source would be relevant.

All you're doing is making excuses and you, along with everyone else around here, damned well knows it.

And if what's said on MM is accurate, then the source is irrelevant. If the source is irrelevant, then this whole thread is irrelevant because the whole thread is about the source.

The purpose of the thread was for you to bitch about a source, then you get all uppity when someone asks about your source?
 
In other words, if MM's obsession is relevant, and if discussing MM is relevant, then your source's identity and obsessions are also relevant.

If your source is irrelevant, so is MM. If MM is irrelevant, this whole thread is irrelevant.

Here are the top 30 stories listed at Media Matters... This is Fox Derangement Syndrome on steroids, providing a constant flow of propaganda and mis-information that keeps fires of political hatred stoked for thousands on the far left...

Can you imagine what it would look like if Media Matters hadn't ended their war on Fox News?

Fox really should send MMFA a few bucks for all the advertising they do for free.
