How do you feel about the conservative mouthpiece, Fox News getting caught today, blantently lying about Barrak Obama attending a radical Islamic madrassa in Indonesia? Fox News is far from 'fair and balanced'. It's a republican propaganda outlet.

Well did we all just wake up and learn that the media spits out the propaganda that shifts our thoughts and opinions on political issues, as well as to destroy the lives of people who could very well change our future in a good way, the Private sector/ DAB corporate America joined at the hip with government officials to ruin who they will and place on pedestals who they can control, since like the sixty's man, and we have not once did anything to stop their game, so who is really to blame, them or us for letting them continue to play us for idiots. I am 150% correct on this one.

I watched the report and it wasn't today it was several weeks ago. The story didn't say Radical Islamic, as I recall they said a source close to the Clinton campaign pointed out that Barak Obama attended a Muslim school also know as a madrassa.
They came back later and said that the school was "mostly" Muslim.
They never implied he was a radical and never implied the scholl was a radical institution.

Every news story I have ever heard of which I had personal knowledge was wrong.
Lying is different from being wrong. The New York Times lies continually, but I am willing to concede that maybe they are just wrong a lot.
I know that Obama claims to be a Christian, but supports abortion on demand. Not much of a Christian, but most Liberals hate Christians anyway, so I guess they would understand about a non-Christian pretending to be a Christian for the Christian vote.

If it's the same story I heard they didn't even mention the word radical at all. Also, it was leaked out by Clintons camp and then aired by FOX. Even if they are wrong, are you saying the liberal media never puts out any false stories? FOX just simply shows the otherside of a given arguement, while the liberal media only shows the side that benefits the liberals most!

Neither. what's maximum in all hazard is that Fox has "low concepts voters" who do no longer understand a actuality from an opinion and who do no longer understand a thank you to do their very own examine. The U.S. media are at as quickly as being monopolized by potential of a dwindling kind of discern firms, all of whom have conservative economic agendas. The media additionally are heavily based upon firms for merchandising. as a effect, the information very nearly thoroughly ignores company crime, besides as professional-exertions and professional-customer themes. Surveys of newshounds tutor that maximum have been in my opinion liberal in the Eighteen Eighties, yet immediately they are centrists, with extra conservatives than liberals on economic themes. despite the fact that, no learn has shown that they provide their own bias to the information. on the different hand, the political spectrum of pundits -- who do have interaction in noisy editorializing -- leans heavily to the main suitable. the main severe occasion of it fairly is communicate radio, the place liberals are very nearly nonexistent. The fairness Doctrine replaced into designed to circumvent one-sided bias in the media by potential of requiring broadcasters to air opposing perspectives. It as quickly as enjoyed the extensive help of the two liberals and conservatives. yet now that the media are turning out to be progressively extra owned and controlled by potential of firms, conservatives defiantly oppose the fairness Doctrine. it fairly is in all hazard the final evidence that the media's bias is conservative, no longer liberal.

Yes Fox lies. And so does CNN, and CBS, and ABC and NBC. They all do. Not just lies, but omitting/underreporting when it suits their agendas as well. Take a story here in Salt Lake City, an illegal alien gets drunk and crashes his car into a family, killing them. The story doesn't make it anywhere. See it in the cite below.

Well that's not news. Everybody knows that story was false and Fox is heavily slanted to the right. It is no longer a legitimate news organization. It is mostly entertainment for the cons.
Not only was the madrassa story false, the slur that it came from the Hillary camp was also false.
