Thread: Is The Fox News Channel The Mouthpiece For The GOP?

No. The GOP is the mouthpiece for Fox News.

I am not complaining that Fox interviews all the Republican candidates because I think the fact that they do will result in noninating the person who have the least chances of winning the election. I believe that happened in 2008 and 2012,

Best bet to date is that Hillary will avoid any and all questions she doesn't like, any and all journalists she doesn't like and / or asks hard questions she doesn't want to answer until the very last possible moment, or until she had a Democratic nomination challenger, of which there are now a few. Images of journalists chasing after the 'Scooby Van' (Hillary) are bound to be repeated in various forms and venues.

I believe O'Reilly's staff have invited Hillary to appear multiple times, but she's not accepted, and that's only a single program that's no doubt invited her to appear. I'm pretty sure that most all of them have.

No, it's not that Fox is the GOP mouthpiece, it's that they do invite Democrats to appear, but so few have the courage to accept and appear.

Democrats are far more willing to accept and appear on programs that restrict their questions to the pretty much pointless and uninformative softball questions they want to answer.

Proof positive would be the Obama / Hillary 'Love In' that Steve Croft conducted on 60 Minutes. It was little more than an administration / DNC propaganda piece. Talk about a what is claimed to be a hard news program being a mouthpiece, this would be the definitive definition of such.

Quite true. I think you can probably use the 60 Minute Steve Croft 'Love In' with Obama as an exemplar.

I doubt that it'll ever happen, or that she would allow it to happen. After all, Kelley asks hard questions.

I was listening last night on my drive to glenn beck play a tape of an interview Hillary did last summer with NPR. Even with NPR she was struggling.

Grand set of qualifications and performance for the next president. Yeah, I'm thinking not.

Just by the feel of what you posted there, and Hillary's pretty much ditching the journalists, and hand picking her conversation companions, makes me think that she's got some sort of underlying medical problem (perhaps something left over from her concussion?) which is seeming to plague her.

But then, on the other hand, she seemed to deliver a pretty good performance in her presser at the UN about the email and server issue.

Hmm. Guess we'd need to keep an open eye out on this.

Again, you should change your pseudonym and be done with it.

I have more respect for a Lib who throws out lies and misinformation in a attempt to justify his ideology than someone who misrepresents themselves as " unbiased ".

So nothing that actually refutes it , just a claim that it is biased because it dose not fit your narrative.

I gave an example and what you give is that it's just leftist tripe not even touching upon the point. Fox news Stated that in Paris there were no go zones when it was demonstrated to be false and fox news even admitted it being wrong in that regard.
I've demonstrated fox distortion , what do you have to back up your claims

And on the fox news site


Over the course of this last week we have made some regrettable errors on air regarding the Muslim population in Europe, particularly with regard to England and France,” Fox News anchor Julie Banderas said.

"To be clear, there is no formal designation of these zones in either country, and no credible information to support the assertion that there are specific areas in these countries that exclude individuals based solely on their religion."

You thought so? She read a prepared statement that was beyond plausibility, got caught in blatant lies almost immediately, and faced no tough questioning.

I was thinking more of not struggling to deliver in the presentation, standing up there and clearly and effectively speaking the words, an eye more towards physical or mental infirmity. Would it be fair to say that it seems to have left by the time she was on NPR? Or not?

The content? No question. As bogus as a $3 bill. That's pretty much a foregone conclusion, at least in my mind.

Yeah and that is why MSNBC to heading "right" to stop pumping out leftist lies that everyone knows are lies.
