But the economy is recovering in anticipation of them doing great things. Business owners are all like, “now that congress is going to be Republican, I feel safe going ahead and hiring, knowing that that bastard Obama will be kept in check.”
I recall some commentators (can’t remember if they were Fox News or not) in 2008, when the economy had been going to shit for months that this all started when Obama’s candidacy in the democratic primaries was announced and people had been fleeing the markets just in case this guy became the democratic candidate and then won the the election.
It’s true. Bush was doing everything in his power to build a terrific economy but there’s only so much you can do when the fearful news that a black Muslim socialist might become President throws Job Creators™ into panic and depression.
But now the opposite is happening. There is every expectation that Mittens “the Mitt” Romney will be the next President, and now that Hillary Clinton has admitted that she is a big fan of ISIS and hates America, it’s pretty much a certainty. Job Creators™ are rejoicing, cranking out jobs like crazy.
Velocity! callander! Deeg! Literally anyone who watches FOX News! Care to defend any of this? Care to point out cases where the rest of the “mainstream media” fucked up quite this badly?
From an evidence-based reasoning perspective (science); If the source isn’t credible then the evidence for the data is lacking. The data you gave was based on the evidence that you heard it from Fox News. It is not an ad-hominem to point out the lack of credibility Fox News has when you cite it as a source for your argument.
It’s still evidence that there was an earthquake, and to completely dismiss it as false because it came from Fox News isn’t reasonable, but that isn’t something most critics of Fox News do. Fox is known for filtering data and ,only sometimes, misrepresenting data. If you heard there was an earthquake in Alaska on Fox News it’s probably true. The details about how Obama is mishandling the crisis are what you should be more skeptical about.
My ex’s dad went to a gun store when Obama was sworn in to stock up on ammo, because obviously Obama was going to take the guns away.
The gun store was extremely busy and almost sold out of all its ammo, and a large portion of their actual firearms too. He took this as evidence that it was happening already.
Now I often wonder if gun store owners secretly vote D on their tickets.
That sort of thing I think you can believe FOX. Of course if someone told me such a thing I’d immediately check other sources to learn more about the event. FOX would no more lie about that then they would lie about who won the World Series or other factual and undeniable stories.

If you read the very first comment I made, I said yes Fox is that bad as are other networks. I think that they are both guilty of crap broadcasting and bias.
Yes, and I’m saying “do you have examples that show that the other networks are even on the same level as this?” Honestly, this is like pointing to a few little flaws on RationalWiki and saying “Conservapedia is bad, as are other wikis like RationalWiki”.
CNN reports the job numbers whether they are good or bad. Because they are a news organization, and the monthly jobs numbers are big news. Foxnews only reports the job numbers when they are bad, because they are a disinformation organization, and reporting the jobs numbers when they are good would go against their chosen narrative.
I’ve shown the above statements to be accurate over the past few months in the course of this thread, with confirmation by others in this thread.
Can you find one similar example for CNN or MSNBC?
The truth is that at any given moment, you can go to foxnews.com and the lead story is likely to be something against the Democrats. Don’t believe me? Right now, their lead story (Copy/paste title):
“‘VIOLENCE AND DEATH’:
Outrage, fear of terror hits over Dem
release of CIA interrogations report”
The “outrage” and “fear” are coming from a single GOP politician. This is not a real story.
