Not commenting on MSNBC does not necessarily make opinions on Fox news any less valid.

You could start a thread on MSNBC.

I think comparing FOX to the competition puts this nonsense of a thread in prospective.


So far, you have 2-3 of *that guy* posters who are regurgitating nonsense from daily kooks, and other ideologue sites and are offering no coherent origional thought themselves.

Look at thier list. Most of it is nonsense. My point is FOX is no different than the others. I have proven this. They have failed.

Fair enough, re: MSNBC comparisons having some validity in this thread. I haven't watched more than an hour total of MSNBC programming so I couldn't say whether your comparison is accurate or not.

In fairness though, in order to really 'prove' this, you'd have to watch an equal amount of MSNBC -- you don't strike me as someone who watches MSNBC.

I don't watch much tv period. FOX, MSNBC, CNN I catch on bar TV's and in airports and I barely pay attention....

Tv is the antithesis to life.

Lets see you make excuses some more, I can keep doing this all day. You look foolish.
I really don't know what you're on about. Olbermann was ridiculing Bill O'Reilly, who defended Nazi SS troops who were killed by American soldiers...he called it a "massacre".

This exercise was begun in this thread because posters justified the fabrications of Fox News by saying, "they all do it". I think I have proved my point that they all do not do it. Even selecting the most biased left-wing network, MSNBC, you cannot find a story they have run that was faked, fabricated, or otherwise enhanced in the style Fox uses on a daily basis.
I will let you have the last word on this (how could I help it, you watch this forum 24 hours a day and ALWAYS try to get the last word), but I am done here. I have proved my point, and revealed you to be an empty vessel. (Hey, maybe you can report me for calling you an empty vessel).

Mathews told mika and scarborough, that if they did not blindly support obamas healthcare they were disloyal...

Re: Is Fox News A REAL news organization?

Here's something Fox does over and over again. When a Republican official is in trouble, they are identified on-screen as a Democrat. We used to kiss this off as a simple mistake....it's not, and it happened again yesterday.



Quote:
Fox News Identifies (R) Gov. as a (D)


During his news conference this afternoon, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was identified as a (D) on Fox News. Not only is he not a (D) he was, until today, the head of the RGA - Republican Governor's Association. The (D) on the lower third banner appeared for about 7 seconds. The banner was then switched to quotes Sanford was giving before the correct (R) designation was inserted.


And this is not the first time this has happened. In Oct. 2006, Fox News mislabeled disgraced Florida GOP congressman Mark Foley as a Democrat.

Yup......No mistake there! (just intentional lies hoping to "Trick" the public)
I wonder if anyone can find a Fox News "Mistake" showing a Democratic politician in trouble & misidentifying as a Republican?
(good case where the DNC should file a lawsuit against Fox for intentional slander)
