No, I don't troll, and I don't use revisionist material on people or theories I have issues with.

And I wanted to divert attention from that of which needs it's own topic and back to the subject at hand.

Today I learned that - by some obvious tragic misunderstanding, and not a blatant example of how people are lied to in order to perpetuate an agenda - Fox's coverage of the News Corp phone hacking scandal 'accidentally' misconstrued the issue completely, whilst simultaneously trying to lump it in with data hacking attacks by groups like Anonymous.

Stay classy, Fox. No wonder no one fucking trust you. Assholes.

I've actually been tracking this story:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_of_th ... ing_affair

Mainly because of this:

    "Milly Dowler's voicemail

    It was first reported by The Guardian on 4 July 2011 that police had found evidence suggesting that the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire collected personal information about the family of the missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler, following her disappearance in March 2002 and the subsequent discovery of her murdered body six months later.[87] According to the paper, journalists working for the News of the World had hired private investigators to hack into Dowler's voicemail inbox. It was alleged that they had deleted some messages, giving false hope to police and to Dowler's family who thought that she might have deleted the messages herself and therefore might still be alive, and potentially destroying valuable evidence about her abduction and murder by serial killer Levi Bellfield, who was convicted and jailed for life in June 2011."

I was just sickened by the 'coincidental' failure to even vaguely report the truth. Given the proximity of Fox to this news (Rupert Murdoch owning both entities), there's no excuse - this was deliberate.

All the networks are biased, but News Corp networks have more going on than just bias. Dishonesty and lack of ethics are the main two. Tabloid style trashiness too.

This may be a throwaway thread, but the complaint about Fox in this case is not even vaguely about partisanship.

Did you even bother to read any of the sources?

Murdoch's groups are lying to cover for each other - and, in the particular story I was tracking - News Corp directly interfered in the murder investigation of a little girl. (And hacked private data of deceased servicemen).

Conservatives should be pissed at Fox about this. I know I am.

I didn't say it was partisan.

And I'm ticked at Fox for being idiots on this issue.
