Fox News? Fair and Balanced?

Question

http://www.noob.us/miscellaneous/fox-news-exposed-by-employees/

I don't think so...

Wow. What a pathetic bunch of sheep. Roger Ailes sets the bias tone with the daily memo and all of you lap it up like Pavlov's Dogs. It's sad really. Did any of you suck-ups actually watch the video? Doubtful... wouldn't want to break the looking glass.

One more point. The reason why CNN and MSNBC don't have the Fox ratings is that liberals are open minded and get their news from many sources...not from the trough of slop connected most closely with the government.

Answer 1

That was funny!!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut off his mic!! HAHAHAHA!! I love fox news!! They are hilarious!! Did you see where they reported that violence is down 70% percent in Iraq since the beginning of the war? Probably not huh.. too busy watching CNN? Beware of what you listen to... My thoughts are this ....... Believe none of what you are told and only half of what you see. It may not be what you think you are seeing....... Now find me a good one on CNN or MSNBC so i can laugh at them too. All of them have a spin!!

Answer 2

If you look closely at FOX News, and are intellectually honest, you can come to no other conclusion than the fact that they are fair and balanced. On the liberal side you have Greta Van Susterin, Alan Combs, Susan Estrich and others. Bill O'Reilley takes a no-nonsense approach and criticizes both liberals and extreme conservatives. Dennis Miller also sometimes takes a liberal viewpoint on current events, sometimes conservative. On the conservative side there is Sean Hannity, Brit Hume and a couple of others, which is enough to make some liberals vow never to watch FOX. It's pretty hard to be well informed if you are fed a steady diet of mainstream liberal news which never offers a conservative viewpoint. For those non-thinkers, I suppose that any news program that is not from the far left is automatically considered to be far right. FOX is by far the best choice for those with open minds that are able to think for themselves.

Answer 3

Oooh ain't you MR Nasty
Watched it and with a heading on the page telling me they make videos for amusement that gets me looking at it as a serious work.
then you show a bunch of talk show guys and claim this is a news show.
The guys you showed,Oriely, Hannity etc have probably never read a headline on a NEWS broadcast.

For my self I watch several NEWS shows not talk but news because CNN, MS NBC and the rest lean so far to the left that FNN has to lean over and almost touch the ground in order to balance things out.

Answer 4

This clip comes from the DVD "Outfoxed", which I've seen.

"Outfoxed" is a character assassination piece that attempts to smear the Fox News network because they are afraid to come out in public and debate any of their points. As you can see from this particular clip, all of the pieces are cut and paste jobs from an editing room, and for each part, you get no context. (I watch Fox News all the time, so I remember many of these clips as well as the context.)

This is what liberalism is all about in the 21st century. Liberals have become nearly demonic in their inhuman and unjustified attacks on other human beings. They are obsessed with destroying people they've never met, and as such they deserve no respect from anyone.

The only thing I can tell you is that when you see things like this, or whenever you hear criticism of others, demand sources. Most liberals don't have any, those who do are often afraid to share them. The few who actually do give you authoritative sources that are "fair and balanced", read them and respond. Don't let your country get flushed down the plumbing by these hateful creatures. Defend your country. It's the only one you have.

Shame on you for pedaling this crap. You're no better than they are.

Answer 5

you are refering to oreilly, hannity and geraldo as if they are maistream reporters and they are not. they are commentaters not news casters.they are ever comparable to the dan rathers and brian williams of the world. apples and oranges. and they are as much as anybody. CNN let a black proffesor from syracuse call juan williams a "happy *****" and never even challenged him. what is up with that? lou dobbs and glen beck are the same type of show. and i believe if some of these people on their show would just answer the questions directly instead of dealing with the nuances of their answers, it would be better. name one show, not network, that is balanced as you see it.

Answer 6

If you'll admit that CBS, NBC and ABC are not fair and balanced, I'll admit that Fox is not fair and balanced. How's that? I can't be any more fair and balanced.

Still, I do think it's amazing that you've got your panties all in a knot over a single news channel. Why do you feel it's necessary for America to get it's information from only sources sanctioned by you?

Never ceases to amaze me how closed minded these 'progressives' are.

Answer 7

I've seen the above writings about "all news are like that" and "the other stations are liberal"

This is what happens to people who continuously drink the "special" kool-aid. The people on there were EX-FOX news people. I believe they WOULD KNOW. It's pathetic to continue seeing the writing some of these blind people make.

To the people above me who disagree with you, guess what? Faux News is UNFAIR, UNBALANCED, & TERRIBLE. It is the number 1 news network because NEO-CON HARDCORE REPUBLICANS WATCH IT, while other people (with a brain) watch different, and balanced, news channels. These same people didn't have a problem with the other news networks WHEN CLINTON WAS ON THE NEWS WHILE IN OFFICE...

Answer 8

I think it also depends where in the world you live.

I've seen British stories that have not been covered properly on CNN and the same for the BBC.

But CNN doesn't have a very good reputation in this country for being accurate and fair.

(I couldn't see the link very well).

Answer 9

The word that comes to my mind when I think of Fox is tabloid. No news there really just odd stories with some sort of twist, often a wierd one. Politically they have become the propaganda arm of the Administration. When Bush leaves office one can wonder where they will take the propaganda part of it. Will it continue or fade into oblivion?

Answer 10

They'll be 'Fair and Balanced' when Rush Limbaugh admits that he is giving up his Grand Wizards position in the KKK to spend the rest of his life on humanitarian projects in the Sudan with his African American wife and when Bill O'Reilly admits that all along he really is a Iranian Lesbian.
