Re: The Meter is Running - A comedic look at the journalistic integrity of FOX News

Fox has been absurd for a long time now.
To the point of being comical.

CNN used to be semi biased, especially during the 2004 election.

Now the trend I am seeing is that Fox has stayed at maximum bias.
But now NBC is trying to rival Fox's level of bias with shows such as "Countdown".
But while this is happening, CNN has been making a tremendous effort to show non bias.
CNN even broke the story first about Obama's small town comment.

I think MSNBC is actually trying to compete with Fox now for the bias crown.
But CNN is starting to improve.

Re: The Meter is Running - A comedic look at the journalistic integrity of FOX News

Oh yes, the BIG bad BIAS rages on at Fox News. How profound that Liberals and the uninformed continue to blather forums with this abject loony nonsense.

Of course, such bleating from Liberal sheeple presumes that channels like MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC have no bias or that journalists like Comrade Rather are of a neutral bias.

Does it bug me to see the constant bleating about how biased Fox is? Not in the least! What bothers me is the continuing propaganda like drone from those like the thread author without giving equal time to the profound LIBERAL bias of the many other news organizations out there.

It continues to BEG the question; what do Liberals have so much to fear about with Fox News that they spend so much time whining about its right wing bias? Is it the fact that they no longer have a monopoly to spread their empty headed political philosophy? Is it that they are jealous that more people watch Fox than their own Liberal channels? Is it an inherent fear that the TRUTH just might get to the people if they have MORE choice?

Once more we see a lot of bleating but very little substance. One thing is certain, with Fox and other sources of news and conservative talk shows, Americans can get a much larger picture of what is happening and make more INFORMED decisions thanks to them.

Isn’t it amusing and funny how the Liberals always argue FOR free speech except when it doesn’t fit their narrow political views and myopic historical perspective.

Carry on!

Point me to the videos that show blatant bias in CNN's reporting. Not to say that CNN has no bias, but FOX is so many levels higher in its bias that your argument that were ignoring the other major networks is just foolish. Show me the videos that go through clip after clip of CNN and MSNBC bias. All I could find on CNN was that a reporter used the phrase "Jewish Holy Warrior" more than 10 times. and MSNBC had some clips of Fox accusing them of bias. Until you can show multiple examples of blatant bias you have no argument.

CNN has been accused of leniency towards Bush administration after 9/11. And has been accused of conservative editorializing by some Liberals. CNN is biased, but at least it is subtle. FOX news is propaganda.

How does CNN leans left? Tell me, if CNN were indeed bias left, then why from about 1993 until about 2000 (nearly 7 years) did CNN, and all those idiotic news networks discuss almost daily a friggin BLOW JOB. I mean, was there anything going on throughout the entire world wide more important than a darn Blow Job? They discussed it constantly, like 24-7.

Sigh, days of innocents, when the media talked about a stoopid sex scandal. Anyway, point is that they ALL got on that band wagon and never got off until Clinton left office. And now, from what I can tell, only Fox still discusses that nonevent which took place perhaps 15 years ago -- in order to prove perhaps what - I dunno.

Point is, if the news networks had done their job and investigated going to war before the war began, a fraction as much as the Blow Job, then just perhaps America would currently not be in this Iraq quagmire.

Always add: “because you say so” after making such absurd statements.

I could spend weeks showing you the abject bias on MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and NY Times.

If you can OPEN your eyes long enough to understand; the next time you read or see a report about a company called Halliburton, note that they always add, "the company Dick Cheney ran." Then ask yourself, why is that relevant in any story about Halliburton? Dick doesn't work there any more, has nothing to do with the company since he left it and had nothing to do with the awarding of any contracts. Yet the media cannot resist attaching his name, for political purposes, with every story they do or did about Halliburton.

Next time you see the media talk about the "right wing or Conservative attack machine," ask yourself the last time you heard them use the term Liberal or Left Wing attack machine?"

I watch all the media outlets including Fox to get a complete picture. The notion that there is no OBVIOUS bias can only be expressed by someone who IS biased, or is in denial.

Why did they run the "blow job" story? Because my liberally biased friend, the story could not be avoided. A sitting, MARRIED President was caught LYING about having sex with an INTERN in the White House.

A sitting, MARRIED President was found guilty of LYING under oath while in office, impeached and disbarred. That is why it was Newsworthy.

The notion that CNN does not have a Liberal bent is laughable and can only be expressed by someone who is either liberally biased or in complete denial. Which is it for you?

Now I suggest that you stop defending the atrocious and embarrassing behavior of a LIBERAL President who couldn't keep his penis in his trousers for a mere 8 years. It happened, it was wrong and an embarrassment.

But heck, I am talking to someone who probably thinks that Bush is conducting an illegal war. Reality has no place with a person like you most likely.

I bet you think “hanging chads” should disenfranchise the voters of Florida as well.

Carry on.

So when you say Fox isn't really bias...You're either in denial or you're bais yourself?

I suppose that does make sense...
