Watched Fox News for a second to play a little game I invented......how long before they lie. Usually one minute. However, here's my question....There was a story yesterday about how service jobs are on the increase and in the background they were playing a film clip of a man working on an automobile assembly line.....which is a MANUFACTURING job. Are they deliberately lying to their viewers in a not so sublimal way. Service jobs are usually minimum wage and that's nothing to brag
about.

I've dispensed with watching Fox News (along with the two other cable "news" channels). Does Fox News still refer to the war on Iraq as the "War on Terror" in big letters at the bottom of the screen during new stories about the war? I should start watching them again, just for laughs.

I had to laugh when I read this...ALL media is a mess. They *all* lie.
Los Angeles times - got caught faking a picture of a British soldier.
CBS - the infamous memo - what more needs to be said?
NY Times - 2 words...Jayson Blair
Reuters - HUGE scandal involving a photog who photoshopped pictures to make the Israeli's look bad during their fight with Hezbollah.
The AP - Can't even identify their own "source" in Iraq.
CNN - it's called the Communist News Network - or the Clinton News Network - for good reasons.
ALL news outlets paint a false image of ANWR. Trust me - I'm an Alaskan, and we almost died laughing at some of the footage.
In my opinion, our media - ALL of our media - is a disgrace. I think it's very unfair of you to pick on Fox News, but I have a feeling that has a lot to do with your politics.

UUmmmmm, lets see...
I didn't seee the clip, but did it say that they were making cars, not fixing them.
Did they say that the clip was of a service job
Plently of service jobs aren't minimum wage.
Do you think the viewers of CNN, Nbc, Abc, and CBS are that gullible? Do you remember a little document that Dan Rather released? That ended up not being true????
Do you think that those previously named stations don't twist the news?

"Watched Fox News for a second..."
Watch more and think and you may see that both sides are presented on most shows and if Fox News tilts conservative, the other cable news networks and the major broadcasters tilt much further to the left.

Almost as gullible as CNN viewers......................
I keep praying for the day I will be able to see the complete truth on either FOX or CNN.
