Has Fox news ever gone this far as a propaganda machine?

Greta Van Susteren had plastic surgery? Jesus! What did she look like before! :eek:
She should sue.

Straight up porn lacks the rage-comedy content.

Forget charisma, he thinks Nancy Grace has an IQ?

To be fair, he did stipulate “compared to Geraldo Rivera”.

And you respond with an ad hom.

You may now resume your circlejerk.

My coworker’s husband watches it all the time. The thing I don’t get is, he’s not stupid, at all. But he swallows everything they say without any filters. And to make matters worse, my coworker has been watching too.

No one has even mentioned the shutdown at work, and I don’t intend to be the one.

That’s “Fox and Friends”. Considering what they did to Mr. Rogers, they’ll stoop to anything.

I responded with exactly what your shitty posts deserved. The content and context had already been provided - you offered nothing to counter it. So bring an actual argument or STFU and keep telling yourself we’re a buncha mean libruhls who don’t want to hear your mind-blowing truths.

Heh. To quote someone above, “No U.”

“Mind blowing truths”? All I did was ask where else someone received their news and insinuated that other news sources might be as politically slanted as Fox.

I don’t know what the driving force is behind your animosity, but, I can assure you, I don’t really care. You seem to be a very bitter and close-minded person. Feel free to swear at me a whole lot more–thereby displaying all your message board dominance for the world to see.

I’m sure I’ll be sufficiently chastised and cry myself to sleep because you don’t like me.

Oh, right - “I was only asking a question!” The classic defense of someone who refuses to admit they were trying to make the other side look bad when the faults of their own side are put on display rather than address those faults.

As far as bitterness and animosity, I’m actually laughing at you - not really upset at all. I probably won’t even remember your user name until the next time you post something dumb.

Open-minded? Hey, I’m perfectly willing to believe you’re not nearly as stupid as your posts in this thread make you seem. Otherwise, I’m not even sure what you’re talking about - am I supposed to look at the examples of Fox News’s fucked-up behavior offered in this thread and think, “Well, maybe there’s a nonpartisan explanation for these things?” Because if that’s the definition of “open-minded” you’re using, I guess I fail that test.

I do like the whole “Keep cussing and playing the alpha male; I’m above such childishness” bit at the end, though. That shit’s always good for more laughs.

sob

You know, you wouldn’t expect somebody to defend outright lies and photoshopping people’s pictures to look like racist cariactures with pussyfooting around “Oh I wasn’t really defending that or accu” -

Actually, who the fuck am I kidding? Of course you expected that.

Tell you what. I’ll take the challenge. I get my tv “news” almost exclusively from CNN/HNN. I can’t remember the last time I watched The Daily Show with Jon “No h” Stewart - or even Oliver since he apparently did the summer (something I learned here FYI). Can you offer me one piece of information that I got from CNN that compares with the wrongness of Fox News: 1. Consistently misrepresenting the party of politicians caught in a scandal (but always Rs shown as Ds, never the other way around) or 2. the photoshopped images referred to above?

The ball is now in your court.

Won’t hear me bitching about how stupid Fox News is! That’s a positive blessing, far as I’m concerned.

Well, I don’t think Fox’s actions led to any deaths. Nancy Grace’s did.

Its all a matter of perspective. Lustily cheerleading for taking us into a dishonorable war, serving as a propaganda arm for idiots who play Risk for keeps. Quite a few deaths. A couple thousand here, few thousand there, it begins to add up.

Nup, boob as in tits.

I’m not sure he’s actually watching it (I don’t know for fact since I am still asleep while this is going on) because he is also reading the paper. He may just have it on for comedy for all I know.

Well, does he, you know…laugh? Its a strange sound, halfway between belching and singing.

I asked him. He says he watches it at the time he does for the local coverage.

I think the first time I was sure that Fox News was absolutely, irrevocably, irrationally partisan was back in the 2008 elections and the “Terrorist Fist Bump” incident. It took me a while to realize they were actually serious.
