Re: Is Fox News A REAL news organization?

Where did this communist "news media belongs to the people" bull originate? Fox News belongs to itself, and, yes, it is a REAL news organization. Millions of individuals choose to watch it, night after night.

My opinion is that Fox News is merely the media arm of the RNC &, as such came as close to a state run propaganda machine during the Bush Presidency as anything has in U.S. history.
Provide specific examples of how the NEWS portion of FNC does this.

You are truly disapointing here.
How were able to gleen that from Chris Mathews amid the heavy breathing and spitting.

if thats the case, then Fox has done it well...since they lead by a WIIIDDDDEEE margin in the cable news races....

the TOP 5 shows are FOX shows.......O'Reilly leads Olberman by more than double.

MSNBC presents opinion on the news, but they do not misrepresent the news, and they do not lie about stories. If you have evidence to the contrary, prove it. I presented a long list of stories misrepresented by Fox News over the past 3 weeks....I challenge you to name one fabricated story from MSNBC....ever.

In other words, please don't make us confront that site with all their fact-checking and show transcripts and such.

Re: Is Fox News A REAL news organization?

Media Matters is nothing more then a Far left smut site for simpleminded folks.
They personify the Far Lefts willingness to distort and outright lie.

I know, bastards, with all their show transcripts and fact-checking. How dare they embarrass Rush Limbaugh and expose his veiled racism with a transcript and audio clips.

And the nerve of them showing what an unstable loon Glenn Beck is by using actual video from his show.


You said a mouthful Triad (and didn't even realize it)
All those audio clips of Rush and video of Beck--it's just simpleminded smut! Or smut for the simpleminded.
