I was wondering where the daily hate spew against FOX NEWS was...

Ever wonder why there are no threads about CNN or MSNBC, or the New York Times or Newsweek?

Because of their more rational and reasoned approach to presenting real news.

How dense are you not to grasp that.

And don't quote viewing figures back, that just proves widespread density.

I hope your kid didn't inherit their brains from your side of the gene pool.

Well according to this book I'm reading the reason it works is because the Republicans are the only one who even pay lip service to trying to court the dumb redneck vote, when liberals see stuff like this they think "wow what racist pieces of shit" and while both sides might think that rednecks are pieces of shit, they're going to vote for the side who at least pretends not to.

I would truly love a world with about 75, okay 60% less pretending going on.

Notice how foxnews misleads viewers into thinking Obama is discriminated against white.That that is a lie is one thing.That it`s a race-baiting lie designed to scare whites makes it that much worse.

Why exactly did fox that?Why did they go there?To what ends are they doing this?

Greetings all.....

One quick bit of background....I have a degree in broadcasting and I have worked in both radio and TV (long ago) and worked for magazines and newspapers since then. Since the time I was in college in the 70's all of the studies about conservative/liberal bias in the media have shown that in general, the media and press is more liberal than the US society. This was talked about in some of the classes I took. The only exceptions were studies by very liberal groups who said it was mostly centrist. In other words, very biased reporting. Now...how liberal varied by who did the study of the various forms of media.

Remember....that is not saying there were no conservative media outlets. It said that over all the US media since the later 60's and 70's was more liberal than conservative. From my own experience working inside, I found that to be true. At the newspaper where I worked, most of the editorial and production staff was liberal while the top management was somewhat conservative. This actually balanced things a bit which I consider a good thing.

No, my comments above do not say anything about my political leanings....it is just factual reporting. The studies really do say what I report. Also, it really doesn't matter what one group does or is when it comes to every other group. Yes, FOX is very conservative, but that doesn't mean that MSN or NPR is not very liberal. (Actually, NPR got much less liberal than it used to be while the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and the presidency.)

Be well all....

We mischaracterise the situation if we choose to see this as liberal vs conservative media, when what we actually have before us is a broadcaster who is either negligently, recklessly or more likely intentionally misrepresenting news stories in such a way that recipients of its media might be misled and, coming to rely on the "facts" provided by this broadcaster, act in a way that is detrimental to them not to mention the wider society.

That recipients are misled is clear, for no one could argue that the effect of misleading stories is not to mislead. Whether the purpose of this broadcaster is to mislead is another question but one must tend to believe that must be its purpose for otherwise it should have to confess a degree of incompetence, on continuous basis, that should be difficult to believe. Its only real defence is to maintain that its reporting is accurate if interpretive and that it cannot be held responsible for what recipients of its media make of it.

So, misrepresentation and deceit or a confession of strong bias aimed at the stupid - neither of them attractive options I would think. Reasonable conservatives (and Republicans, if there are any reasonable such left) ought to condemn this broadcaster to at least this extent in order to maintain any grip on credibility and, as part of a strategy to winning back the argument through necessary reconstruction of centre right ideology and policy from the sort of near fascist ideology and policy expressed and supported by the bias of this broadcaster, maintain a constant distance from it and condemn it vociferously for its more blatant lies and deceptions.

Bullshit. 059 is presenting Maddow (for example) as a basis for his cut-and-paste  argument, which Maddow and friends are pure trash. The far left animosity towards FOX is based solely on the fact that it isnt extremely liberally biased as the rest of the media has traditionally been. Leftists cant stand that they no longer have their monopoly on the media and its driving them completely insane.
