The Comments are frightening.
I’m shocked.
Post back here when Ailes contritely resigns over a private comment O’Reilly makes.
I’m guessing that happens a lot, given the tenor of your arguments.
Wow, those people really are dumber than shit. :eek:
Oh, fuck me, even Glenn Beck denounced the producers of that video as being full of shit.
And you know what? NPR still took steps to correct what it perceived as bias, going so far as to fire the guy, as well as its top exec. I don’t see anyone keeping Ailes in check while he’s courting Republicans to run for president or otherwise trying to peddle his agenda.
I think this is the point, news organisation howver much they try can never be 100% bias-free, but Fox isn’t even trying. NPR has an acceptable level of jorunalistic integrity, Fox doesn’t. That’s okay though as journalistic integrity doesn’t matter mcuh when you’re related to yourself in several illegal ways as your typical Fox News-viewer is.
If Ernst Stavro Soros is bankrolling NPR so lavishly, what’s up with all the pledge drives?
I was wondering what Fair and Balanced would actually look like. Thanks.

The money for hash brownies doesn’t just grow on trees you know. Plus there’s all the cash needed for the re-education camps.
And abortions. I think it’s mainly used on abortions.
Maybe he’s not funding them all that lavishly. Volcano lairs and diamond cat collars don’t come cheap after all.
When we get to Hell, there will only be Fox News and NPR. And it will always be Pledge Week.
When Fox News uses taxpayer money to run its operations, report back.
Logic fail.
The issue you’re trying to hijack is whether or not NPR can be objective compared to other media. They are, to a fault, otherwise their coverage would not pussyfoot around the fact that teabaggers are reactionary dumbasses, rather than presenting coverage of them that makes them look like dumbasses naturally, without any commentator needing to make sly comments in order to do so.
There simply is no mainstream liberal counterpoint to the unabashed right-wing slant Fox puts on its whole coverage. Fox is much more mainstream than, for instance, Pacifica radio, which I find is the exact counterpoint to Fox in content. When Pacifica radio is as ubiquitous and influential as Fox, then I’ll treat them the same as Fox.
NPR’s public funding is greatly overstated, but even so, when you catch NPR slanting its news coverage, distorting facts, overtly supporting political candidates or organizing, hyping and staging political rallies, report back.
No, it isn’t. A privately owned company can do whatever it wants. A taxpayer funded news organization cannot. Like the BBC, NPR has a higher threshold for integrity. I don’t watch Fox News. I listen to NPR on a daily basis. The fact that an executive was cast in such an unfavorable, biased light disturbs me in a way that the clowns at Fox News cannot. I expected more out of them.
Yes, Fox News is biased. It is a very thinly veiled news medium for the right wing. And everybody knows it, no matter how many “Fair and balanced” slogans they try to pass off. NPR is supposed to actually be fair and balanced. It is obvious from this scandal that their high ranking executives are more concerned with politics than truth seeking. Pity.
One quote proves all that? Yeah, I agree with DVL.
Does a corporation have to obtain an agreement from stockholders before they donate to right wing causes. If so, why not?
