What is bad about FOX News? [NEW POLL]

[YellowApple]

tl;dr: honest journalism - if it ever existed at all - is quite dead.

or never existed in the first place??

Hence the "if it ever existed at all" bit

[Bombadil]

The appendum 'News'.

[Calimera II]

Well then...could someone answer my question? Which is better news source?

The BBC is decent. So is the Times and the Guardian. But not the Daily Mail. I'm fine with what I've heard of the CNN, and HuffPost is good as far as I know. Fox, though... nope.

The Guardian is objective either..

BBC is the best around, and I also like Al-Jazeera and Euronews.

Because they lie. They lie and are unrepentant about it. Fox would be fine if they were open about what they are (the propaganda arm of the GOP). But they're not. They're deceptive. They claim to be unbiased and then are the most biased news network on television, conning yokels who don't know any better.

That and they lie in other ways too, like changing the political affiliation of a disgraced politician from Republican to Democrat.

So they are liars because you do not agree with them?

While most of the points have been made, I'd also like to add that the organization now know as 20th Century Fox made many propaganda films for the National Socialist Party in German.

And we already knew that, didn't we?

[Ruridova]

Because they lean to the right heavily and they pass themselves off as balanced. And some people beleive them.

No, they lie because they're journalists, and lying is what journalists are paid to do.

[Meekens]

everything

[Kedri]

All news lie.

[YellowApple]

All news lie.

Indeed they do.

And chances are, if they claim themselves to be "fair and balanced" or otherwise attempt to imply (or even outright state) that they are unbiased, that's a good sign that the network is, in fact, biased beyond any reasonable doubt.
