I'm not saying its right-wing, but its certainly not left-wing either. Thats like saying that because something isn't the color black it must be white. But no, it can also be gray, or orange, purple, what have you.
Fox is, undeniably, the biggest piece of garbage on cable.
Although, it is rather hopeful to see organizations getting together to do something like this. Kill FoxNews!
If anyone thinks they are getting 'fair and balanced' news with Fox then they are either a) deluded, b) thick or c) both.
We have the BBC and Channel Four in the UK who both provide quality news service, if they ever tried to go down the road of Fox there would be a public outrage.
Americans deserve better than Fox!
I find it scary that there are many who do.
I find it comforting that they live in rural areas.
HAHAHAHAHHAHA!
wait. let me read that again....
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hey Mr. ......., how long is the un-employment line these days?
They had Dick Morris on O'Reilly the 1st hour one night during the Cheney shooting incident saying "some crazy left wing media will be saying Cheney was drunk". Then, an hour later he went on Hannity and Colmes (advertised as an ex-Clinton advisor) and said it himself...THAT CHENEY WAS DRUNK!!! So you see, he set up the Democrats on O'Reilly, then he delivered (as the stooge) on Hannity.
You'll see this OVER and OVEr on Fox, where the guest is so whacked out....then they'll lump it in the Left Wing Democrat loonies. When in fact, they're creating THEMSELVES!!!
Only the most brainless and ignorant "faithful" who have been indoctrinated and brainwashed from birth to accept incredible, fantastic claims without any substantiated proof of any kind can accept Fox as a credible source of truth. It's unfortunate for our country that so many of these imbeciles exist.
Well, now I'm back in Germany and enjoy the Tagesschau, that's some serious news.

I can't believe that fox would say that. What are they tring to say that anyone who believes in globle warming or thinks Gore is a great person they are stupid or what? Globle warming is no joke it's real it's out there and if we don't do anything well I'm affraid of whats going to appen.
Each news organization, and CNN is just as bad as FOX, has only one group that it considers it self responsible to, its investors. And it just so happens that for each network these investors include CEO's and lobbyists for insurance companies, oil companies, pharmaceuticals, you name it. How convenient it is also when companies can tailor their employees retirement options to include the stock of other companies that want to mantain control over and call it 'diversification'. The mainstream media is only concerned with the almighty dollar.
Now by no means do I mean to say that CNN and FOX are on the same level, because FOX deliberately changes the facts and abuses minorties and people who disagree with them, but CNN is bad too. If you don't believe me watch Micheal Moore's interview with Wolf Blitzer (by the way I'm not a Moore fan) because there is a moment when Wolf is arguing with him about CNN's reporting and sponsership where he says that CNN "is a business" and think about that in context with the idea of an independent media that the constitution garuntees and the fact that the airwaves are supposed to be publicly owned. There are several other interviews that Wolf and other CNN say similar things including that they are the "voice of the people" which they are not.
But, to wrap this up, stop watching network news if you want to see your news watch anything on PBS. Otherwise listen to programs like Democracy Now, read the Nation, heck if you want partisanship listen to Rush at least he portrays what he says as opinions not passing them of for the news.
Its not so much the direction of the skew than the fact that its all skewed towards big business, because for the most part the media is no longer owned and run by the public as the many smaller stations and outlets have been swallowed by Time Warner and ABC-Disney so our news comes from 4 sources instead of many.
FOX is the worst because it is in all honesty the only station that puts on a conservative front, which is not a bad thing, its just that because they are unique they attempt to draw more viewers by getting people who will say shocking and head turning things like O'Reilly and even the weather man gets in on it. If tonight FOX found out it could make more money by being a hardcore liberal news outlet, it would be one tomorrow. Right and left are just fronts that these companies put on to make money because thats what we the consumer want. News only consists of facts about what is going on.
My point, stop watching network news, read, its faster its easier, it doesn't try to suck you in to keep you watching the next half hour that turns out to be the same thing you just watched. But don't read from just CNN, read Mother Jones magizine, Adbusters is amazing for social commentary, read the Nation. And by all means watch PBS its the most neutral source there is, no matter what the right says PBS is incredibly unbiased, its only reality that has a liberal bias.
First of, Fox News (we get that over here too) really is a big reason americas got such a bad reputation in europe, since it expresses values that are intolerant, narrow-minded and often plain absurd.
And since the current government won by a semi-democratic election, a large part of the america population must share these views of their fellow man.
I mean, for example. If the democrats started a party here in sweden, they would be flagged as a religios far right-wing group, and probably wouldnt get many votes at all.
Imagine how the republicas/Fox News look compared to that! :D
If you are rewarded for lying, even if you frown on lying, you will be more likely to lie. This sort of corruption should be rooted out, as we are only responding to the result, not the cause of it. What is the cause of it...? I don't know! Do you?
There should always be suspicions of those in power. It is a necessary safeguard to ensure the integrity of our country, regardless of whether they are doing a good job or not. Where the hell is our integrity these days!?!?
Americans to them are narrow-minded and extremely ignorant to the outside world. I shutter to think what they would think of the Fox Noise Channel and all its uber-religious, arrogant, and nationalisitc propaganda.
At least in the Soviet Union and other places people knew they were watching propaganda (not that the USSR in any way good). Here people think theyre watching news, but unknowingly are brainwashed.
PS im not a democrat liberal or communist.
im a moderate. (right-wing in europe)
Its not about political parties and bullshit...
its about honest journalism vs. propaganda
Find out whats really going on!
the more extrem they get in their hatred.. its the sign of weakness.. Good LUCK fOX
Extremes of temperature are NOT the issue. It is the AVERAGE temperature that it IS the issue. Anyone who believes a cold spell is any kind of proof AGIANST global warming needs a course in basic statistics.
2. The goofy ass who makes the claim that we should be more worried about "Ahmed the bomber rather than some stupid glacier" knows zero about hydrology. Glaciers are like "money in the bank" in terms of a water supply. When they dissapear the result can be devastating to a local watershed dependent on that glacier for groundwater recharge.
These fools on television jump around to keep you entertained. Sober science is about as far from their mentality as a pig is from performing calculus. Investigate the science your self. Don't listen to any idiot in the media. They all just want to keep you entertained. They are a useless waste of your time.
Oh! By the way "Adam" I read your immature post above. I think Eve is calling you. Hurry up, she's speaking with the snake right now ... or is it with the teddy bear? Sorry, I never can remember how that crazy fairy tale goes again.
Since when has the "right wing" become fair and balanced?
Fox has shown time and again its willingness to ignore facts while perpetuating the right-wing agenda. This is a proveable Murdoch edict, and is the reason why I and my intelligent, insightful and compassionate friends won't waste a minute of our very precious lives watching Fox "News".
Anyone who claims that Fox is unbiased or anything but right-wing and Republican in its mission statement is exactly the kind of sheep that ol' Rupert, O'Reilly and their miserable cohorts love to maniupulate (Genti, let me phrase this in a language you can understand: Baaaaaa!)
I refuse to be treated like a sheep, and will therefore NEVER turn to Fox for anything but The Simpsons. It'll be interesting to see how Fox alters its "news" once Bush and his gang of treasonous criminals finally lose their grip on our country. My only hope is that it won't be too little, too late...
Gotta love how typical headline news on the fox network consists of stories on local cheerleaders, turtles crossing the road, Bush taking another trip to the ranch, bike safety, church gatherings,,....meanwhile it appears as though not a single person has died in Iraq.
Rupert Murdoch has destroyed journalism. If you want real news, you have to turn to a foreign news outlet or the internet. Sad huh ?
It all boils down to what Reagan did in 1988, bowing to pressure from the right, by abolishing the “Fairness Doctrine". The fairness doctrine was the law of the land since 1932. Abolishing the fairness doctrine allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to come to existence. Ninety two percent (92%) of radio talk show hosts now are right wingers. Public airwaves belong to the public and the fairness doctrine must be restored. Insist that the presidential candidates promise to restore the fairness doctrine and to bust the 5 media monopolies which control our thought process. Demand public finance of election.
~~ I Only have one question for All You Left Wing Socialist Loons... **** If the democrats' can't stand up to the Fox News Channel, then HOW IN THE HELL can they protect us from the Islamic Terrorist Threat both domestic and abroad???
They tell both sides of every story.
The right-wing & the far right-wing.
To pretend otherwise is just slander.
money I earn than I would.
I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what
they're doing because they now think we're good people.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday CAN
tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for
themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four pointy headed elitist liberals need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that when the terrorists don't have to hide from us over there when they come over here I don't want to have any guns in the house to fight them off with.
I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are
obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
Makes ya wonder why anyone would EVER vote Republican, now doesn't it?
