Do you honestly believe fox news is fair and balanced?

Question

Come on! How is it? Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, John Kasich, Brit Hume, shows like "Heartland" "Cost of Freedom" a flag wear it says live. O'reilly told war opponents to just "shut up" once fighting begins. Do you believe in propaganda? Fox News' "Greenhouse Gases being a myth", Target Terror, Bulls and Bears, Iraq Iran nkorea war good for stocks? ok lets leave talking to answerors

Answer 1

They have shows, like oreilly, which are opinionated shows. The news, however, is the most fair in the business.

Sean Hannity also sits across a liberal, who chimes in with his silly liberal views. How many other networks have a conservative counterpart AS A HOST of their show?

compare these two news stories in a question I asked. It is clear that fox news tells both sides of the story, even parts not enforcing the republicans platform.

Answer 2

compared to what? CBS? The 'we are able to lie for earnings or association' station? Fox is a minimum of able to admit an competition source, even if lame, into the equation. Mapes under no circumstances understood how offensive it replaced into that she would secretly help the Democrats at the same time as claiming to be impartial. CNN has not regarded that agreeing to help Saddam with the intention to stay in Iraq might want to not were a superb idea. the concept you'll attack Fox at the same time as ignoring the historic transgressions of the liberal media shows that you in straightforward words favor for the lies out of your part of the spectrum to be unchallenged. seem at Fox's interview of Clinton this week, it confirmed merely how susceptible Clinton replaced into on nationwide protection, and did so through utilising Clinton's own words. would CNN have allowed some thing that made invoice seem as if an fool to get on the air? likely not. Did Fox adjust what Clinton suggested? No, Clinton did the damage and tear all through himself.

Answer 3

Are the liberal stations "fair and balanced"?

How often do stories appear about heroic firefighters, police officers, soldiers, teachers, or other national heroes, in the mainstream liberal press? Never. Every one of these people is portrayed as either incompetent, perverted, or murderous.

Did Dan Rather's complete and total fabrication about President Bush get him fired because he was being fair and honest? No, it was because he was injecting falsehoods, biases, and other nonsense into the news. I have yet to see one conservative get fired for telling outright lies.

Not all liberals are dishonest, nor are all conservatives honest, but the topic is bias in the news, and liberal stations do a terrible job of keeping biases out of their reporting. The Fox station provides an alternative to the socialist globalist news networks, and provides opinion and editorial to counter the liberal talking points. Name one other conservative news/opinion station.

There isn't one on television. Everything else is presented with a liberally slanted view. Except perhaps local access religious stations.

This isn't about which side, left or right, is wrong. It's about providing alternative viewpoints and countering bias. I thought liberals supported diversity. I guess I was wrong.

Answer 4

It is a proven fact that all news stories reported on Fox follow a daily "talking point". The "news" will follow Republican phrasology ("death tax" being one example) instead of using it's actual name ("estate tax"). Those phrases will be repeated through all shows, all day long. Thus, it is nothing more than a direct arm of the Republican propoganda machine.

It is not "fair and balanced" in any way, shape, or form. I wouldn't mind it if they were honest about ("news from a Conservative viewpoint" would be fine). It's the lack of honesty being disguised as honesty that purturbs me.

Now, as far as the "myth" of the liberal media... That's another thread altogether... Don't get me started.

Answer 5

Yes, Fox News is fair and balanced. They give both sides. But when you listen or watch O'Reilly or Hannity you are getting there views on the subjects. If you watch or listen to Copper 360. He tells what has view are on the subject.

Answer 6

does anyone else find it funny that "every other station is bias" except for one... if the entire world is "bias" against you... that's a good sign you are paranoid...

conservatives have no idea what is the truth anymore...they come on here and say that everything is lies, except for what one station is telling them... they see nothing wrong with that... I see that it is the entire problem... they are willingly being deceived by a station that blatantly supports their views... they don't want to know the truth any more... they just want justification for what actions they want to take... screw facts or logic...

I really don't mind fox news being there... it's good to "have another view"... but SO MANY take that as the truth and think everyone else is lying... it's almost doing more harm than good, because people don't care enough to look for the truth anymore... it's easier to just believe what the government tells you...

Answer 7

I'll have to echo Nochnoi Kapriz. Iraq collapsed into civil war earlier this year and the whole time all Fox talked about was Natalee Hollaway missing in Aruba.

Answer 8

Its just as fair as CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC and NBC.

Want a little input on the bias in media;

4 hours from the release of information that Rush Limbaugh wouldn't be charged for his viagra and there were 71 public articles from major media sources on it.

4 hours from the release of information that Cynthia McKinney would not be charged for strking a capitol police officer and there were 7 articles from the same search of media sources.

So where is the bias?

Answer 9

News, more and more so in today's society, is a business. These business have clients, the clients have interests, and are willing to pay for them.

So, no I don't believe Fox News, or news in general, is fair and balanced. Profit, and margin based.

Answer 10

Alan Combs a liberal! In name only. He was handpicked by Hannity for his inability to stand up for liberalism.. Watch the shows, when they have a liberal,Democratic guest there are always 2 or more conservative, Republican guests. Why is that?
