Fox News has been known for, and is currently still actively participating in, the misconstruing of information - "cherry-picking" and the deliberate mishandling of facts and sources to their own benefit. Bias does not know ideology; if you're willing to accept that, for instance, MSNBC has a particular slant, you're going to have to understand that just because Fox News, the alternative, is shaped to your liking, doesn't mean that it is not a biased source and that its credibility shouldn't be questioned.

Again, Fox News is shit.

 

I just don't understand why they are like that.

 

who?

 

Guys that are always showing their underwear when they sear pants.

 

?

 

Niggers and wiggers! Hahaahaj

 

oh! I get it now...

 

shocking but true

Eggy isn't a she...although as a sock I guess it can be anything it wants to be.

 

Cut back in the laxitives.

 

You must not understand what white guilt actually is.

The people whose ancestors owned slaves and/or benefitted in any way, shape, or form from the holding down of other races should feel guilty. They didn't earn anything, they stole it. They do owe it to those people and their ancestors to try to make things right.

Those of us who don't owe them shit don't have any white guilt. We can also make observations of what those races have done to themselves as the decades have gone on, how they have lost their way almost as a whole, though it's hard to blame them for that really.

That doesn't change the fact that FoxNews is a disgrace, that the people who work and talk so big there are spoiled little rich boys and girls who wouldn't be where they are if it weren't for the advantages they have from their ancestors stealing from the rightful owners of things, and that it's people like them and their kind who are responsible for the bullshit in this country.

 

Why are blacks running around corn fields?

 

I have given examples of others are biased. Please do the same. Just saying something in a discussion doesn't make it so. You have to prove your point.

You are also mistaken in your statement "bias does not know ideology". An ideology is a set of ideas that constitutes one's goals, expectations, and actions. Given that, you may want to rethink your prior statement so you don't look so foolish.

 

lets just say, Fox News may not lie but they are economical with the truth?

 

I was told that pinks like fox news

 

LOL

 

You wanted examples of Fox news lying or blatantly slanting news stories well here you go ....

Fox news widely (just about every pundit and news show) reported that Obama's trip to India was costing the US 200 million dollars per day (lets not even talk about the claim of the 34 war ships) and did it without any fact checking what so ever. Since the White House never releases information on the cost of over seas presidential trips how did they get these numbers? Well some guy in India got himself a news bit guessing that is what it would cost. Fox ran with what basically amounted to false and unfounded information ie they lied.

Now on to the ACORN video. A video crafted by a right wing ambush video maker. This video was edited to make it look like workers in an ACORN office were aiding a prostitute and her pimp to get government housing. The fact is the ACORN people did not help them get anything. What did Fox News do? They ran with it showing it 24/7 for over a week before the truth came out then they buried it and did not report that any of it was a complete lie. The results were the two acorn workers were fired because of that reporting of false information. Then ACORN had their federal funding cut off causing thousands of ACORN worker to lose their jobs. Did Fox air a report showing that the video was a hoax and contained edited footage of something that never happened? Nope they buried that too. While not out and out right lying it is highly suspicious activity from a network that claims to be fair and balanced. Where was that balance in this case?

Or how about on one hand fox claiming that people that make $200,000 per year are poor while weeks later claiming that teachers making $60,000 were rich and should not be getting paid that much.

Fox news portrays most if not all news items in a conservative slant and in plenty of cases blatantly lie to create that slant. If you want more Fox lies just take a trip over to www.mediamatters.org they are very good at pointing out Fox's lies.

Good luck with your delusional neo-conservative life style.

 

Thanks for sharing. Here is where the problem lies though. The majority on here have just plain stated "Fox lies" and feel that if they repeat itlong enough it is true. Most know absolutely nothing else.

As for your examples: thanks for the first one. I had not seen that. It does change things a bit. As for the second one, regardless of how it was obtained, it is still pretty damning evidence against ACORN that you want to completely disregard because of the source. That is a bit one sided. Keep in mind, a mind is like a parachute: it doesn't work unless it is open. Just like I am willing to accept your first example.

One of the problems I have is the constant attacks from the left when I don't agree with everything you say. You have resorted to name calling and insulting when you really have nothing to go on except that I don't agree with you.

Another point, there is so much hatred towards Fox because they are viewed to lean right yet you have all the other networks leaning left, some more than others yet so many don't realize that or are unwilling to accept it. Remember the dan blather story that ran just weeks before the election with the intention of changing the outcome of that election? If you remember, it was done that way so the the republicans would take a huge hit and not have time for damage control. Now, when it gets to the point of trying to influence the outcome of an election that blatantly, there is a huge problem. And that is exactly the problem we have.

As I said earlier, you have 6 liberal networks vs 1 conservative: hardly equitable yet it's the leftists screaming the loudest bashing Fox!

Let's try to open that parachute.

 

Oh, the irony....

 

I prefer The Onion.

 

The Onion is the best
