Isn't it pretty common knowledge that Fox News has a Republican agenda?!?

Question

Tonight my friend was like "trust me, Hillary Clinton would be a bad president. My dad knows about this sort of thing, he watches Fox News ALL the time"

I was thinking "fox news??" lol

Isn't it pretty common knowledge that Fox News has a Republican agenda?!

Answer 1

Yes!

Answer 2

You are correct Jamie. At this time you will find that all of them are leaning towards a Republican agenda. The sweeps make it that way. For some reason people are watching more of the conservative stuff. It may be because they have braved the waters and don't mind raising cain about people that hurt children or maybe that the country is being overrun by border crossings and 3+ million that overstay their visas every year and just disappear somewhere in the country.

I would say i have seen an about face in CNN after losing so much advertising revenue, i.e. Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, etc.have a republican agenda These things are are cyclical

Cheer up things change, even though it was interesting that Fox's rise was during Statesman William Jefferson Clinton's terms. When JFK was in office there were more dumocratic shows, then the republicans started to take over. There was a short resurgence while Richard Nixon was in office, but that was lost when Alabama Gov. and presidential candiate George Wallace was shot. Many felt Wallace was to the democrat party that Perot was to the republicans and since that time the republicans have been having all the money and buying everything so naturally the talk show have to reflect that view. The advertisers follow suit.

Still things like the weidos running around in the church in nuns outfits and being backed by democrats really doesn't help them either. Let's face it you have to be rich to be a republican and have cable. Another thing that has really hurt the democrats is that they let a bill pass that had a 300% increase in medicaid payments for doctors visits, yes instead on $1, it's gone up to $3 to go to the doctor, 300%!

You might try PBS, they have shows that Ford, Sorros and others pay for and are not too biased.

Another thing I have noticed about Fox is all the "foxes" they have on there, it's like the NFL cheerleaders that you never get to see unless they have a logo fonted over them, but you can actually see them.

Fear not with 3-3 1/2 million hiding on visas and 4-5 milion over the borders, drugs, criminals, each year, it won't take too long and it will be all she wrote.

In closing I heard Hillary wanted to give babies $5,000 is she choice or pro? Now if she would pony up $5,000 to adults out of her pocket cause she could never get that passed with Congress we might talk, but how could people be trusted. I suggest you ask to question on here under elections and see what kind of feed back you get. You may be surprised.

There one questions asked about someone seeing Hillary with toilet paper hanging down in the back and no one would tell her. Your friends dad is probably a rich crook, right? Take care.

Answer 3

possibly the furthest to the splendid is Sean Hannity. He might positioned Attila the Hun to disgrace on numerous the topics he has broached. O'Reilly, on the different hand, tries to grant a extra honest and balanced effect, in spite of the certainty that it never ends that way. while the two one has a visitor with opposing perspectives, they have an inclination to talk over their visitors while their factors start to benefit traction. i hit upon this tactic hectic and unprofessional. yet, a minimum of they make some attempt to work out the two facets of an argument. many of the topics they communicate have not have been given any political lean, nor do they attempt to grant a political slant if neither area has observed an argument as their own, which comprise abortion. that's solid, because of the fact too many social subjects have been further to the political section that have not have been given any business enterprise being there. They distract from the genuine subjects, such because of the fact the economic gadget, distant places coverage, jobs, well being care, under employment, etc. i hit upon Charles Krautheimmer maximum psychological, and delight in Juan Williams for his skill to grant opinion and opposing perspectives devoid of elevating the ire of many Conservatives. All in all FOX information is magnificent, informative, and credible. It avoids no difficulty that CNN or MSNBC might for political reasons, and that's why FOX information is the very suitable, it tells it love that's !

Answer 4

It's common knowledge unless you're either a regular Fox Noise viewer (like your friend's dad) or know nothing about the American media.

As for the comments your friend made regarding Senator Clinton; I feel that the right-wing media (including Fixed News) has already had fifteen-plus years to tarnish her rep enough to substantially hinder her electability. I say this as a staunch Democratic supporter who knows about the American media.

One last thing about media bias: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS!!! The mainstream media as least TRIES to be fair in its reporting - unlike Fox Nothing Channel.

Answer 5

I'd describe FOX News as having a HARDCORE conservative Republican agenda. Please tell your friend to do his/her own research (CNN is about as bad in the liberal Democratic agenda) and make up his/her own mind.
Unfortunately major news organizations (print and media) are rating and profit-driven corporations, not ethical, unbiased bastions of fair journalism. I doubt the situation was any different in past centuries, but at least in today's world we have various options to wade through to get at the real truth.

Answer 6

Actually, its the only fair news out there. They usually report the news without agendas or political opinions. its CNN thats been VERY biased and WRONG in alot of their reporting in trying to fulfill their agenda. Its insane the lies they allow to be broadcast or even promote. If you really want news switch to Fox. Dont diss it till youve watched it.

side note: Hillary would make a bad presidend for alot of reasons. One: shes a woman, and women are all about emotion. I do not want the president making a rash move just because she is PMSing (and I am a woman). Two: I dont trust anyone who will stick by a cheating, lying, adulterating husband. Call it strength, I will call it weakness and shameful. She is also using his fame for her agenda. Three: she is a socialist and her plans for goverment spending and programs that sound so good to us poor people will only end up destroying our country and our freedoms. Four: I am tired of naming them all, just know your friend is right. If a woman was ment to be a president it is NOT that woman and anyone who has a brain, knows politics and can think on their own knows it.

Answer 7

Just like all of the news channels and the local stations have their own political agendas. It is common knowledge that to some degree or another we all want to persuade others with our opinion, corporations are not excluded. Even if it means replacing real news reporting with editorials and opinions.

Answer 8

There is a yes and a no to that answer. If you are talking to a democrat, the answer would be yes. If you are talking to a republican, the answer would be no.

Many people feel that Fox news is just reporting what is really going on. They are one of the only conservative news channels left in the country.

Everyone needs a little balance. Even the us. If we all viewed life out of the same glass that would be considered jaded.

Fox News helps balance out the liberal media.

Again, it all depends who you are getting your info from.

Take Care !!!

Answer 9

Fox News has made it's mark by leaning more conservative. MSNBC and CNN lean more liberal. I don't believe you can call this an agenda. It's just their style tailored to their target market.

Your friends dad probably made his decision independent of Fox News not because of it.

Answer 10

The have alan combes on there better than any of the other channels like CNN who might as well have Clinton/Obama buttons on while they are doing their reports.

CNN even went as far as to refer to the troop surge as the "alledged Troop Surge" There was nothing alledged about it we sent a lot more troops.

HERE IS A BETTER QUESTION. why do libs/dems get so upset that there might be one chanel that isnt liberal biased. You got all the other ones get over it

Liberal TV sets must not come with a chanel changer. Turn it iver if it makes you mad. It doenst seem to make a lot of other people mad since they ahve the highest ratings

Answer 11

Another liberal who gets all their news from network news, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, NY times. If these are the ways you learn of the news of the day then Fox would seem way off to the right. For those of us educated on the issues know that you are more likely to get less bias from Fox News than most other sources. Period...dot...bingo!
