Democrats intimidated by Fox News?

Question

I love how the liberals are up in arms about Fox. I don't understand why liberals are angry that a news channel gives BOTH point of views. Sometimes I wonder if they're worried that when both sides are presented the lunacy of the left will be exposed.
I don't care that others watch CNN and MSNBC (few watch).

I also know the kooks and looneys will respond to this by the whole "faux news" and the hilarous "fascist news network"

But why are liberals intimidated by it?

I don't know where to start with this nut.
John Kerry is on there
Teddy Kennedy
If thats not hard hard liberals, what more do you need?

Furthermore G

THe link states from an independent source that Fox News is the #5 watched channel in TOTAL. Out of any channel news or not.
That's a bit more then 30% .
Good try though

G

It does include network news. Because the report is off CABLE NETWORKS which is NETWORK NEWS.
Alan Colmes is strong liberal and he always has the nut cases on there

Answer 1

liberals don't like anything or anyone who has a different point of view...

Answer 2

we're not intimidated... we just get frustrated that the channel says it's "fair and balanced" when every time it seeks out a "liberal" point of view, it's someone from the Communist Party or something?

Every time I talk to someone that watches Fox, they are PAINFULLY unaware of the Democratic agenda, because Fox doesn't ever REPRESENT the Democratic agenda, it gets kooky liberal groups that have 5 members in the nation to be the "Democratic Representative"...

if you think that's "fair and balanced"... then you're mildly retarded...

and Fox News represents about 30 percent of the news viewing audience in total... about the same percent that still supports Bush...

... I've never seen them on there, but at SOME POINT, they probably have been... but what about the other 99 percent of the time... I have seen MANY "liberal" represeantives that do not come anywhere NEAR representing the Democratic party on there...

THOSE DON'T INCLUDE NETWORK NEWS RETARD! WHERE MOST PEOPLE GET THEIR NEWS! THANKS FOR PLAYING

no it does not include network news... can someone please talk some sense into this guy? look at the report.. it doesn't mention any of the networks... even though the top rated shows are on the networks... now I see why you like Fox news...

Answer 3

Let's get something straight here: Democrats can be conservative. It's rare, but in cases like Senator Lieberman, it's true. Not all Democrats are liberals. Now liberals hate balanced news for the simple fact that it discredits what they're trying to pass off on the American people. I'm sure this happens worldwide, but it's highly prevalent in America. They want a one-sided debate where they can always win.

Answer 4

Example 1: August 9: Fox news host John Gibson calls writers of Daily Kos and Michael More "Pol Pots of the democratic party". He's a news anchor and he's equating democrats to murderious dictators, pol pot killed 2 million cambodians in the 70's. How is that balanced?

Example 2: Fox news Chief Political correspondant Carl Cameron says "Every time that democrats talk about pulling troops out of Iraq, they play right into republican hands and give the Republican Party an opportunity to say that Democrats aren't being serious about protecting the United States, protecting the world, and stopping terrorism." Dumb fox viewers are supposed to believe that this is an analysis from a "Fair and Balanced political correspondant." But it's republican propeganda.

All week fox news anchors (Not advocates, not talking heads) have been saying that plannning for the withdrawal of troops is "extreme".

They routinely say that democrats are Weak, unserious, and politically vulnerable on natiional security and they do not want to "finish the job" in Iraq.

Example 3:
On August 8, New Host Gregg Jarrett suggested that a win by Ned Lamont would be a sign of Democrats "becom[ing] the sort-of modern-day George McGovern, who got really creamed politically for his anti-war stance."

While he was saying this on-screen graphics suggested a Lamont victory would be "bad news for democracy in [the] Mideast," and would show that the Democratic Party has "forgotten the lessons of 9/11" and is "soft on terror."

Again this is supposed to be a news host of a balanced fair station.


Example 4: July 30:
During a discussion of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, Fox News host Page Hopkins revived the term "Axis of Weasels," used by conservatives to describe countries such as France, Germany, and Russia, which did not support the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Hopkins stated that, although "[w]e thought they were gone ... the so-called 'Axis of Weasels' appears to be back."

It's difficult to take this station seriously when they are clearly an arm of the Republican party.

Answer 5

If any political figure were to decline an interview with ANY information community i ought to anticipate the figure is intimidated with the aid of the accessible questions the interviewer ought to ask them. If our political leaders and representatives don't have the back bone to respond to an person-friendly question extremely (as Fox information ought to call them on any dishonesty) individuals shouldn't believe them to rule our usa. basic and straightforward.

Answer 6

By "both" points of view you mean the right and the far right? Or fiscal conservastive and neo-con?

I've watched Fox News and I've done a lot of research, it's just as biased as any other news program. It just has a more identifiable bias.

BTW, I don't support either the Democratic or Republican parities.

Answer 7

Isn't CNN the Clinton News Network?

FOX ROX!!!

Answer 8

Because ii is fair and balanced and has a sexy intelligent brave host, Bill O'Reilly. He will speak the truth and nothing but the truth regardless of who will be adversely affected, and I love that part.

Answer 9

Intimidated? I think not. I get's lower ratings than the Golf Channel.

Answer 10

fox news scares the hell out of me... all they have to do is to transmit in black and white, and u would think ur watching old nazi propaganda films...
