Fox News being sued

:roll:

“For the most part.”

“Even our conservative papers.”

“Clearly labeled.”

Look. You can try and claim that journalists have integrity, but they don’t. They exist to sell news or sell a government lie. I know y’all have had some issues with certain laws being passed against your press. That wouldn’t fly here because of the constitution. But let’s be real here...Canada doesn’t have the same weight behind their news. Comparing your national news to ours is like me comparing my city paper to the New York Times. When the stakes are lower...so is the sensationalism. That’s why I read my local stuff and not the big money names (fox, cnn, and on and on). Local Fox News stations and local ABC stuff is pretty tame and straight forward. Probably the same thing you are used too. :shrug:

Wow...good thing you aren't rocking some good ol' fashioned American arrogance in this last post, or I'd have to call you out for it... ;) lolz... good grief!

I used those qualifiers to agree with you - it's not perfect. But, perhaps to your point, your media takes it to a whole other level. I guess at the end of the day I'm ok with our bumpkin news sources because I can trust when they say "this happened" that it actually did happen. They have an audience because they are not troubled with the same level of competition, and while we certainly have access to your news, we get our facts from our own venues. As ever, for the majority of us, American news is simply entertainment. I'm not sure what kind of "weight" you are suggesting that Canadian news doesn't have behind it, but I'd happily trade whatever you're talking about for facts, which your weighty news outlets seem to be quite often strapped for. ;)
 
Just because you say they are facts does not mean that they are actual facts.They could be "alternate facts" though.

To review:

1. He was killed execution style. Fact.
2. No robbery was committed. Fact.
3. It's not likely he would've told his family he was leaking DNC files. Not fact but not an unreasonable assertion.
4. Computer experts have proven the files where downloaded faster than what the internet could handle. Fact.
5. Since it was at a speed too fast for an internet hack it would have to have been downloaded from the computer itself from some kind of device. Fact, but I'll grant you it wouldn't have to be a USB.

^---Not alternative facts but facts facts.

Just holy-freakin-wow.
 
Show examples please.

It's not because I don't trust you, it's that your a right wing American and they appear to be unable to speak the truth.

Please post the most recent cases...


as if..............:lamo:lamo:lamo

Not an observant comment. I'm not a right wing American. I'm a 'the media has lost their way' American. That's the problem with some people, just because I disagree with someones, or dare not to pile on the 'I hate (whoever is being ripped) band wagon, I'm labeled as one persuasion or another. Sad.

Anyhoo, back to the subject........ Are you suggesting that CNN and ABC have never retracted a false story?

What FoxNews did was more than that. Seems they knew the story was flimsy at best and some staff made up quote and **** to make the story more "believable."
 
:lol: okay, good luck trying any of that speculation in an actual courtroom.

There is the court of public opinion, and this court is real, even though it is not "official"

Believe me many people believe Seth Rich's murder was entirely the work of the Clintons and the DNC in retaliation for Rich turning over a thumb drive to Wiki Leaks.

The Russian hackers were never successful, and time stamps and computer experts say prove the Russians did not get into the DNC computers. Hillary was already in bed with Putin on the uranium deal.

Can we prove it in a court of law? Maybe... If we ever get the chance.

How you can defend either the DNC or the Clintons at this point, proves your out on a limb. Need proof? Just look at the current level of finances of each party. The Dems are darn near broke. Why because they lost in the court of public opinion. No one wants to give to a criminal enterprise.

I'm not up on all the latest or the fine details but...are all these true?
If they are...can you say "Vince Foster"?

Again...

That was not run as a news story. Stop failing.
Why am I not surprised...:roll:

YOU SAID
1) They don't run stories about conspiracy theories regarding someone's death for political purposes, continuing to blast it over the airwaves for days and days and days, despite the family's begging that they not. 2) Usually they don't run stories where the "reporter" literally makes up things his/her source never said and when they do, they fire the reporter and apologize. Fox News has done neither.
Now please pay close attention because I am not gonna explain this to you again.

All MSM, and indeed most 'News' agencies in general, are biased. They all engage in 'lies of omission', 'cherry-picking', and general 'Fake News'.
The presentations, or 'stories', are unreliable at best. CNN and FOX, and all the others, run 'stories' that are presented as fact...which are simply not.
For instance "Donald Trump is a racist." or that "Rich had leaked a trove of DNC emails to Wikileaks and further suggested that his death, which police suspect was a botched robbery, was retribution for the supposed leak.". Now oddly enough, while you carry on like this, FOX actually retracted the 'story' about this, and CNN stands by the 'story' that "Trump is a racist".

Thus...you were in error, and I simply pointed that out for you.
Your welcome.
 
Why am I not surprised.
Because you know your position is stupid and you expect people with even a modicum of intelligence to point out how stupid your position is?

No, this is you not understanding what happened.

Fox News reported this as a story. They had a reporter provide quotes from a source. They used this news story to push political propaganda. They reported this as a news story. But it wasn't. It did not happen, the reporter has admitted she made up quotes from the source which he never said and the whole thing was completely contrived from the beginning.

That is completely different than your example, where a political commentator took various examples of Trump's own words and positions and used those to express his opinion Trump is racist.

I've explained this multiple times. Either you possess the intelligence to understand it or you don't.
 
Because you know your position is stupid and you expect people with even a modicum of intelligence to point out how stupid your position is?
Look bub...its not my fault that you made a silly statement. A person with "even a modicum of intelligence" sees that.
I understand completely what happened, and I don't like it. That doesn't mean you didn't 'open mouth and insert foot'.

People who have "even a modicum of intelligence" already know that the MSM is a circus show of fake news. Accusations presented as fact. Half-truths that paint the picture the corporation thinks will attract their customer base. They don't even attempt to qualify the 'stories' anymore. There's no distinction between opinions or black and white facts presented anymore. Its a shouting contest between 2 sides who will stop at nothing to discredit the other. Its a gawd-damn game.

Now...FOX retracted their 'story' in this case because they apparently aren't 'bitchy' enough to stand by a 'story' full of opinions presented as facts. CNN is apparently...just 'bitchy. You should deal with that.
 
Look bub...its not my fault that you made a silly statement.
I didn't make a silly statement. You can post all the lies you want, but it won't change the fact I was correct. If you don't understand the difference between what Fox News did and your example, that's a you problem.

Excuse you...

When you understand the difference between commentary and news reporting, I'll reply to you. But you clearly do not at this time and it shows how desperate you are to ignore facts when you continue to post a bunch of stupid videos which do not address what I said.

Have a great day.

I'm having a wonderful day, thanks to you. You're hiding behind an extremely thin argument, and it looks like you've figured that out now.
That means I've made my point, and can have a Saturday afternoon beer with some satisfaction.

Thanks.
 
Fox News has always had an agenda but it has gotten worse in the last few years. IMO, they are moving from "legitimate" news service and closer to Brietbart, Daily KOS and other fringe news services. What they did to the Rich family is disgusting and I hope they have they lose big time.





Family of slain Democratic staffer Seth Rich sues Fox News - Mar. 14, 2018

Fox News is right-wing state media pure and simple. They should be sued, and they need to keep being exposed for what they really are.

Pointing out that you don't know the difference between a news story and political commentary, in a discussion about a news story, is the opposite of thin.

The shills are just so lazy anymore.

Hmmm...OK well I'm not gonna resort to your innuendo and pedantic horse kaka.
You made a statement...I proved it false...you whined.
Bye now...:roll:

That's very true. And on the other side, CNN moved a lot further to the left when Trump band them from white house press conferences.
