Which was the most egregious partisan promotion by an alleged News Organization?

Well, from a journalistic standpoint, "FoxNews reporting on the Tea Parties on Tax Day" seemed most egregious to me for this is meta-reporting: basically, Fox News reporting on itself, its own creations. However, calling what Fox News does "reporting" is the most egregious offense of them all, as it is a slight to journalists everywhere.

Reporting on an event is more egregious than nearly the entirety of the 4th estate becoming a mouthpiece for a political candidate? :shock:
Reporting on something that was not news,
and was, in fact, invented by the news organization itself,
Nation wide protests aren't news?
Um no it was created by the New American Tea Party.
Hell just froze over. I agree with so much of your postThey are all equal.
First one is bad because of a news organisation promoting a campaign started by big donors to the Republican party. No news organisation should be promoting anything political period. It also shows again the clear utter bias that Fox News has for the political right, while it claims to be "fair and balanced".. so not only is it biased but also lying and in fact is not "truthful in advertising".
Second and third are bias that are unacceptable regardless of who does it. But there is again a difference between being openly supportive and directly promoting propaganda from the administration.. both are bad, but the latter is far worse.
Fourth is extremely unacceptable. No owner of a news organisation should tell what can and can not be published or direct an editorial line. There is only one thing worse than direct censorship.. that is self-censorship based on fear or economic/political ramifications.
I believe it is now called the InternetThe most egregious is the loss of our free press. Seriously...WTF happened there? Most of our press is nothing more than a government mouthpiece in some way.
Well put. It's truly sad that you cannot rely on a single MSM news outlet for reliable information. I have to cross reference far too often.The most egregious is the loss of our free press. Seriously...WTF happened there? Most of our press is nothing more than a government mouthpiece in some way.
To pick a recent example, protests during the Israel attacks in Palestine.
I really shouldn't feed the troll, plus (apparent) naïevete is cute, but here I go anyway.
There are all sorts of other protests, and bigger than these whimperings,
that don't get covered by so much as the local paper. To pick a recent example, protests during the Israel attacks in Palestine.
Whether you like the links here or not; whatever, they're biased, but there's a speck of real journalism at least being referenced here, and what they say is at least partially true.

The Washington Independent Tea Party Activists: Tax Day Events Will Attract ‘Silent Majority’
It's not grass roots, it's not some uprising, it's part of the conservative machine (I consider Fox to be a part as well, for truly obvious reasons).
Anyway, you can keep your delusions on this particular topic as far as I'm concerned; I have trouble giving a damn.

Sorry, buddy, but blatant denial of the facts of the case don't pass for debate around here. We can chat when you've got that figured out.

I vote for Agent Ferris' POV.
Of course you did. Why did you feel the need to inform me? Did you think that I'd care or something? :lol:
Duke
You don't?
No, not a bit... This shouldn't be surprising to you. :2razz:

Despite your joining DP in 2005 and having 2500 posts I haven't a clue as to who you are. I was surprised to see your stats since you were so little noticed otherwise.
Reporting on something that was not news, and was, in fact, invented by the news organization itself, is in a certain sense more egregious than allegedly handling the president lightly. I think that the press should be more incisive politically right now, and that absolutely includes Obama. Frankly, I don't think I can compare the two failures in any meaningful capacity (which is more egregious, et cetera). They're both pretty lousy, but in quite different ways.

I just returned to the forum this week. I haven't been active since before you joined. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Please prove that FOX news invented the tea parties or refrain from this dishonest discourse. thanks:2wave:
