Is Fox News...News?

Postby Brewdomia » Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:19 am

Is it? Or is it just a channel, where I can get a daily laugh from Bill O, Hannity and Beck? I was watching the Daily Show With Jon Stewart, and it showed the hypocrisy of all these guys from, when Bush was in power to when Obama was in power.

Fox News is a channel of commentary shows with about an hour of actual news coverage to break the monotony. :p

Commentary shows, whether they be on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News or any other news network should not be able to label themselves 'news'. To that end, I recommend giving commentary shows their own channel.

It's a right-wing spin doctoring network that's not above selecting members of their own side to "Throw Under the Bus" for damage control to their own image:

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Naw, it's merely a form of entertainment for the extreme-right... Whenever there is a profitable Market, someone is going to fill it...

I happen to know Fox itself has Homosexuals working in Producer capacities for their shows... They only hire the faces and names for the screen, and let them spew the trash, because they know it'll bring them revenue from all the blithering-idiot righties who watch them...
Such heroic nonsense!

Fixed Noise is naught but a money-whore. Just think... if a big market for news with a Marxist spin opened up, they'd be fellating Marx and quoting from the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital as if they were the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Ultimately, every American news station has a bias or a hidden agenda. That's why American news is effectively useless.

Fox is just a bias to the right as the Huffington Post Newspaper or MSNBC is left. It is just Fox has a few neo-cons that are extreme on the American level.

There's a difference between "bias" and "outright fabrication and the distortion of the truth".

The Huffington Post may be left-leaning, but at least their articles don't consist purely of partisan bullshit and contains facts.

Fox News, on the other hand, could take a story about Obama saving a kitten from a tree and twist it into "Obama Places Kitten before Death Panel".

Either that, or angrily shriek: "So Obama can save cats from trees, but he can't save the economy?!"
