How scary is it seeing Fox News talking points all over Yanswers?

Question

Seriously scrolling down it is like watching Cavuto
Ex: Liberal Media Bias?
Do the Dems support Terrorism?
Wal-Mart the savior of America?
Bush the greatest President ever?
Its scary because these kids are probably like 17-18 years old and are just getting extremely distorted facts about the present situation and the past and all theyspew out is quotes from fox news......what do you all think

I'm not a democrat by any means..I consider myself a conservative but that word means a totally different thing now then what it used to mean

Answer 1

Not really stick around and all you will hear is false Fox propaganda. It's the machine spinning it's wheels, so just take notice to the corruption tactics come 08 elections.

Answer 2

Definitely there. Watch the Today Show, CBS News, CNN, and a whole list of mainstream news outlets. They obviously lean left, just as FOX obviously leans right. That's why I watch both sides and sift out the truth for myself.

They do, but they don't realize it. Let's say you are fighting America. If the American Congress opposes the President (whom you are fighting) they are supporting you. They may not want to; they just hate anything Bush does, but they are lending aide and comfort to the enemy. Vietnam was exactly the same way. North Vietnam watched all the antiwar BS and they knew they just had to outlast American will. Why can't people quietly disagree with their President and stop supporting the enemy?

< Bush the greatest President ever?>>

Don't know where you got these two. Walmart is a good company and Bush is a good president. I can confidently say Bush id a better President than either of the two people he beat would have been. America chose correctly.

And 17-18 year olds are usually naive, freethinking, love everybody kind of people who gravitate to the Liberal Utopian dreamworld. Then they see what the world is really like and become Republicans.

Answer 3

What makes you say these are "Fox News talking points"? Based on what? I'd bet dollars to donuts you intensely dislike conservatives and never watch Fox news at all.

Liberal media bias is a well-known and factually-based assertion. Just because YOUR head is buried in the sand doesn't mean ours are.

Dems support Terrorism? While one could surmise this to be possible because of their vehement support of Saddam and their opposition to the war on terror, and the fact they blame terrorist murders in Iraq on Bush.

Wal-Mart as Savior? No, we've never said that. But we aren't delusional or deranged because Wal-mart exists, either, like you people.

No, we never said he was the greatest, either, not like YOUR knee-padded adulation of Clinton.

Perhaps you should look at all the twitticisms here about Bush being: evil idiot hitler nazi fascist moron chimp oil-puppet 9/11-perpetrator, etc. Or the idiocies about "Big Oil" or Halliburton, etc.

Those are the real distortions - complete disassociation from reality.

Answer 4

I disagree that FOX news is all wrong. I believe regular networks are brainwashing the American public WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than FOX news is. I know this is true because we haven't had tv for a long time and just got cable. We were appalled at the way media tries to twist things and make us into their little pawns. FOX news just tells the truth without the the Liberal swing.

Btw we are cancelling cable and going without tv altogether. Sick of all the smut on tv in general. No more brainwashing here!

Answer 5

What do you mean by Wal-Mart the savior of America? Secondly I'm proud to be a Republican who watches Fox News and I'm 24. I also watch ABC news. I guess my answer is it's just as scary to see the stupid questions democrats ask........Is Bush a terrorist? How pathetic is that?????????? Maybe you are the ones who are 17-18????

Answer 6

People usually tend to reflect the media because the media mobilizes people. I am not saying that I disagree with you because I do think that we are being greatly misled from WMD and false statements surrounding the logic behind the Iraqi war. In fact looking back now, it has become clear that this war was completely unnecessary and turned into the biggest mess. And now that Bush has proved himself to be a yo-yo, he is trying to preserve his image. But that certainly won't happen if he continues to oppose the congress and to ignore our citizens. Anyhow, I agree with you and I think Fox News must be getting their pay checks from the republican Bush agenda. I wish that people weren't so easily manipulated from the media but then again if this were so, then no one would want to go outside from their house or have interest to know what is happening in the world and that would be a scary place indeed. But honestly if I sat and watched Fox News and quoted it like scripture, then I would probably be too paranoid to trust anyone.

Answer 7

It's sad but at the same time funny and I have a strong feeling it backfires on them.Don't let them know but everyone can see this and I think it only leads to more and more people opening their eyes and looking away from the propaganda.They get an overdose so to speak and that builds resentment.

Answer 8

SO MR. CONSERVATIVE YOU DON'T LIKE FOX NEWS? IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE A LIBERAL TO ME. TO ALL OF YOU WHO THINK CNN MSNBC THE NETWORKS THE BBC CBC
& THE NEWS MEDIA FOR THE MOST PART ARE NOT ANTI-AMERICAN GUESS AGAIN. IF MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE KIDS 17 - 18 YEARS OLD IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO ME SINCE MOST OF THEIR TEACHERS ARE DEMOCRATS &
HATE BUSH & THE COUNTRY. SO THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY FREE THINKERS. BY THE WAY I AM 55 YEARS OLD.

Answer 9

I only got exposure to Fox News in the past year. The first time I watched it, I thought I was dreaming...this couldn't possibly be a newscast! But watching it a couple of times afterwards, I realized that this Republican station was for real...and the content was unbelievably ridiculous! I now watch it for entertainment purposes only.

Republicans will watch it, as it aligns with their political beliefs. They will not see the ridiculousness and unprofessionalism displayed. And, I suppose, the same could be said for CNN and the democrats...as is often said on this forum.

For a less biased newscast, I turn to CBC (Canada), and BBC (UK). At least they report the facts, without all the commentary.

Answer 10

i think it works both ways. as long as there is any spin machine out there, the talking points will be flooding political discusion forums wherever they can. they always have, they always will. there are just as many examples of the flip side of the coin.

- Why is it ok for Redpublicans to give away billions$ $ in the Mideast. But not help the needy in Americans???
- Have you seen "Iraq for sale"?
-Why conservatives, part 2?
-When Bush retires, do you think he may actually do some work?
- Should Borat be the new White House Press Secretary?


trying to call all the spinsters for spinning, and only calling out one side of the fight makes you sound just as bad.

Answer 11

i agree that it's pretty weird, but i also don't believe that it's sincere.

i think that at least some of those who happen to repeat republican talking points word for word are out here to advance a political agenda and to not actually engage in discussion.

i think it's important to NOT reply to them - by confusing the issue they have been able to dominate the discussion for years and at the same time avoid the real issues of the day...
