Fox News at it again

[Stinger]

The bias of Fox News is blindingly obvious. Let me go through some examples

FAIR

OH THAT"S and unbias'd source.

 

[Khayembii Communique]

What's your issue with FAIR? And are you going to address the material presented or not?

 

[Stinger]

And are you going to address the material presented or not?

They gave both sides of the issue which was in fact true. The outgoing WH staff did engage in juvenile pranks. It was documented at the time and the WH took the high ground and didn't pursue it. And no a source called ORiellysucks carries little weight with me nor do I take FAIR's statistics as credible. I trust my own eyes and ears more than both.

 

[Khayembii Communique]

Then perhaps you can show me where it was documented.

 

[Stinger]

Then perhaps you can show me where it was documented.

From 6 years ago, I wouldn't bother. The story at the time evolved from what was initially reported, to a not as bad as initially reported and FOX gave both sides equal vetting. The fact is there WAS some of this juvenile behavior and some of what was reported was exaggerated by the incoming staff. How do I know that? I watched FOX.

 

[Gibberish]

Good effort Khayembii Communique.

The problem here is Stinger's opinion is the end all. If he simply says "I don't believe you or your source" or "I watched Fox and it said it wasn't biased", everything you posted and sourced becomes null and void.

About what you guys do too isn't it. But doesn't it speak volumes that he had to go back SIX YEARS to even try and prove a point that was bogus anyway?

First FOX only reported, like the entire media, what people in the WH were saying. They also broadcast the pictures to prove it. Some of it was overblown by the people leaking it, FOX acknowledged that too, like the rest of the media.

As far as FAIR, no I don't accept their stats and certainly give no weight to such an "unbias'd" source as IHATEORIELLY.COM or whatever it was.

Finally the poster made no distincition between hardnews reporting and opinion when it came to that story.

The problem here is not mine, it's your side trying to prove what doesn't exist.

 

[Khayembii Communique]

Why not???

Waterboarding, torture?...sure, but it only lasts 20 minutes from start to finish. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. You see it's not only the stories that they report on, but the manner in which it's delivered.

and finally from Murdoch's lips to your ears. YES, he TRIED to shape the way the war is viewed. “WE (FOX) SUPPORT THE BUSH POLICY.”

A news organization is supposed to report the news, not omitting the parts it doesn't support, but it's supposed to give the public the whole story. Clearly, as Murdoch has stated, Fox is not a news organization, but merely a tool of this administration.

 

[Harshaw]

So why does a single conservative news network among several liberal ones pose such a threat to the Republic? Moreover, why does it get your panties in such a bunch? If you don't like it, turn the channel. I don't understand the obsession.

Fox is not a news organization. It's a right wing tool, playing at being a news organization. Which is what this thread is about.

Threat to the Republic? Panties in a bunch? Obsession? This is a thread about Fox, dude. If it makes you hysterical there are plenty of other threads that you can read.

I give you credit for proving my point and "playing at" innocence all in the same post.

Like I said, Fox News is a single conservative news organization among several liberal ones. You apparently think they ARE a threat or you wouldn't put so much energy into this.

So, what's their harm? Specifically? What's the great injustice?

If you say there isn't any, then why the crusade against them? Why go to to all this trouble?

And what's the solution, then? Should they be banned? Shut down? Censored?

After all, those questions pertain to what this thread is about.

 

[Khayembii Communique]

Yes.





..........

 

[Harshaw]

Yes.

:doh

So much for the idea of freedom of the press, then. But thanks for your honesty.

 

[missypea]

Yes.


..........

LOL...you funny!

I don't mind Fox being on the air. It's the fallacy that they are a NEWS organization that I have a problem with. They are not, under any terms, anything but a tool of the right wing. They should have never been recognized as anything other than an opinion show and they should be recognized as such by all msm. Edwards made the statement quite clearly by saying no to a Fox debate. Good on him and the others that followed his suit.

What do they do differently from the other 24-hour networks, except come from a different point of view?

 

[Stinger]

Why not???

Oh how about their bogus Super Bowl ad or their declaration that Chevez is such a wonderful guy or Cohen or just simply they use statistics not to find an answer but to support their agenda.

I trust my own eyes and ears more than theirs.

 

[Stinger]

:doh

The leftest here use the typical propaganda that all repressive groups have used in order to shut down free speech and a free media. Chavez just did it in his country which if you will investigate the source they are quoting her is quite apporpriate, FAIR is a big supporter of Chavez.

What is the problem you have is distinguishing between hard news and opinion. Yes FOX has conservative opinion presented, it also has liberal opinion presented. You just don't want the conservative opinion presented. The fact is they report a fair and balanced view, not a leftest slanted view.

They are not, under any terms, anything but a tool of the right wing.

Only under the bogus terms you are using to define them.

They should have never been recognized as anything other than an opinion show and they should be recognized as such by all msm.

Why? They also report hard news just as every other news channel does.

Edwards made the statement quite clearly by saying no to a Fox debate. Good on him and the others that followed his suit.

Because he is too scared to go on and face hard questions, just as the Republicans did when they debated there.

So you like blacklisting?

They report a conservative slanted view! If I got a TV station and invited on 24 MLB managers as opposed to 3 or 4 NFL head coaches, am I providing a fair and balanced view of baseball and football?

They present the conservative view, the conservative view, the conservative view, the conservative view, a little liberal view every once in a while, the conservative view, the conservative view, the conservative view, and finally, the conservative view.

 

[Stinger]

They report a conservative slanted view!

No they present a balanced view of the news and both sides of opinion about it.

As much as you scream otherwise it is not true. You should watch it more to insure you get both sides of the story so you don't post such misinformation.

Replace "conservative" with "liberal" here, and you've got all the other news networks. ESPECIALLY anything having to do with NBC lately.

Again, what's the problem? One conservative network among several liberal ones?

 

[FreeThinker]

LEWISTON - An obscure online parody of the recent hate incident at the Lewiston Middle School - a parody reported as news on a national Fox broadcast Tuesday - launched an immediate avalanche of angry phone calls and ugly e-mails to the school system...........

Wessler, who talked to a Texas CBS affiliate and two Fox affiliates Tuesday and has been scheduled to appear on another Fox broadcast today, said, "This kind of distortion by reputable news outlets is destructive."

"Fox has figured out, from the calls we've gotten, that they've made a big mistake," Wessler said.

SunJournal.com - Ham report stirs 'mess'

Faux Noise is getting some headlines today for reporting a parody as "news". Think Progress also has the video of the "news report" you can see here:

Think Progress » Fox News Sinks To New Low, Repeatedly Reports Parody Story As Actual News

I can't stop laughing...this coming in the wake of Wednesday's night "Buying The War"

I can't wait to see what Jon Stewart does with those rascally reporters from Faux news..lmao!!

When foxnews starts forging military documents three months before an election to swing it to their side you can start complaining about media bias ok?

 

[missypea]

No they present a balanced view of the news and both sides of opinion about it.

:rofl

I understand that you, Harshaw, etc. want to believe that's true and so you do. The majority of people recognize Faux for what it is. It's nothing but a pacifier for the right wing to suck on. Which is why it's discussed so much.

I know you don't like it, but that's the way it is.

 

[Khayembii Communique]

You're welcome.

LOL...you funny!

I wasn't kidding.

Oh how about their bogus Super Bowl ad or their declaration that Chevez is such a wonderful guy or Cohen or just simply they use statistics not to find an answer but to support their agenda.

Do you have sources you could provide me with? I'm sure they reported on these things, but I don't exactly trust your spin. I doubt they said "Chavez is such a wonderful guy", for example.

The leftest here use the typical propaganda that all repressive groups have used in order to shut down free speech and a free media. Chavez just did it in his country which if you will investigate the source they are quoting her is quite apporpriate, FAIR is a big supporter of Chavez.

Haha Chavez didn't shut down free speech. :lol: :lol:

What propaganda am I using?
