You are ADORABLE!
Bless his little heart.
But put strings on his mittens.
Knock it off, both of you.
Actually, if we use the latest scientific research on myth-busting, I reinforced the idea that Obama clubs baby seals. This is one reason Fox News works so well - because when people hear something over and over, it sticks in their mind as true, even if it was presented in context as untrue. That means that even when Fox doesn’t blatantly lie, it’s still succeeding at manipulating people just by mentioning a ridiculous theory over and over. I have no doubt that Fox execs know exactly what they are doing.
A political moderate? You are a rare breed, my friend. But I basically agree with your assessment of 24 hour news channels in general. I can’t stand to watch MSNBC even though I agree with it. I do not deny that it’s trying very hard to be the liberal Fox and really have no respect for it on that basis. Even NPR has been getting on my nerves lately, because the bias seems more pronounced… I’m hoping it gets better after election season. I don’t think it is really possible to get ‘‘objective news’’ but some organizations at least give some nuance to the story.
FOX is the epitome of evil. Turn on FOX and what do you see? A liberal spokesman and a conservative spokesman discussing both sides of an issue. How spectacularly unfair, how blatantly biased is that?! Have you no eyes to see with? Have you no ears to hear with. FOX allows the conservative point of view onto the public airwaves. Clearly, FOX is being run by Satan himself.
Now if you want to see real journalism, professional journalism, journalism the way it ought to be, then read the NY Times or watch NBC News where the conservative position is virtually censored so as to protect the American public from its hateful, poisonous effects.
When in doubt, always remember:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
and
CENSORSHIP IS JOURNALISM
Exactly, only Fox News has talking heads. Wait, what?
Anyway what’s actually on Fox News at the moment is this. Right now they have Laura Ingraham on and … maybe someone is disagreeing with her. That’s balance!
The top five stories on the show’s website:
To be fair, Marley, that’s Fox Nation’s top stories not Fox News.
Fox News has this:
Gotta love how they manage to fit the War On Christians, race-baiting, the “Libya Scandal”, and communism in just 4 headlines.
Compared to the Drudge Report or World Net Daily, Fox News actually is quite moderate.
But compared to actually moderate media (IE, all of the rest except for MSNBC), they are laughably right-wing and serve to echo the republican party agenda.
Like I said earlier in the thread, they are a huge reason that “The Tea Party” even exists as a quasi-thing.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
…is a founding father.
It’s just that I can’t stand that shit. You know, Dodgy, there are actually people in the world who live in actual dictatorships. Who see their families killed and tortured for dissenting political opinions. Your statement is a fucking insult to anyone who has ever actually lived through fascism. If you lived in a fascist state you wouldn’t be posting that stupid shit on this message board - you’d be dead. It pissed me off when liberals did it to GW Bush and it pisses me off now. Shame on you.
Actually. Fox has little news, it is mostly critisim of everything, or anyone they don’t like. They run the news on the bottom of the screen, then cut it off for commercials! If Romny should win the election, they won’t have anything to talk about!They are like the Pharisees who just look for the speck in some ones eye, and miss the plank in their own. I notice they don’t let a person who they disagree with get a word in edge-wise. They talk over the person who differs with their ideas of what they think should be. I wonder why, if the know it all’s with all the answers, aren’t running for office themselves. And in 2014 when Romney hasn’t worked his miracle(should he win) and have all the American’s working, if he will admit then he was wrong?
Because Democrats will cease to exist at all levels of government? (As a side issue I don’t think News Corp. brass like Romney very much in the first place.)
It is quite amusing to see someone who is convinced that they are at the center, and the proof of this is all those folks who are to the left of them! Do you have any concept of what the term “moderate” even means?
Seriously, if you line up the numbers 1 through 9, do you suppose that the number 9 is “moderate”, located in the middle, and that the proof of that is all the numbers to the left of it?
This is all mildly amusing. It’s like a discussion on the merits of hell and Satan.
Today’s current top Fox News online headlines:
Actually, it would be more accurate to say the GOP is the legislative arm of Fox News, Mr. Ailes in particular.
I actually have a theory that it is a actually a semi-honest mistake, but still an indication of bias. Basically it goes like this. The person who puts up the headlines doesn’t know what party the person being indicted belongs to, but is under a lot of time pressure and doesn’t have time to look it up. The one piece of information they have is they know he is being portrayed in a negative light in a story presented on Fox. So the reach the reasonable conclusion that they likely to be a Democrat, since only once in a blue moon will Fox put a Republican in a poor light.
It is all relative to your own personal views.
I find all of American news to be hideously right wing, but that’s because I am a typical Swedish-living left winger.
“BIAS ALERT”? That is pretty darn transparent.
