any credible proof of that outlandish assertion?

Of course not: he can't even demonstrate that I'm a member of the far left who's having a collapsed lung over the mere mention of Fox...

Fox and Friends is a lot different from FOX News. F&F's tries to convince their target audience (50+) to oppose all forms of government health care while maintaining "get ur hands off my Medicare!!!!" They also ramble about following the Constitution as they cheer for more un-declared wars.

As for FOX in general, they are just as balanced as CNN or MSNBC - though they aren't any better by any stretch. It's just that the lefties accusing FOX of being the devil have no sense of equilibrium as it regards the political spectrum. FOX being a moderate network, just looks far-right in comparison to the progressives, who think that anyone standing against socialized medicine is a hardcore right-winger.

I never hyperventillate: that's Darth Vader, and he leans to the right a bit, even if he is a Federalist...

Of course you wouldn't recognize the inherent bias coming from a source.

This is analogous to FOX News evaluating who the Top Misinformer would be. (hint: it would be someone on the left!)

Your post is a very good example of not understanding the concept of bias. Take an intro to statistics...

Don't you mean Monarchist? The pre Imperial management in Star Wars must be the only Republic in history to have been run by a royal family...




DaddySatyr -> RE: Fox & Friends: Fox News' Top Misinformer Of 2011 (12/22/2011 12:50:34 PM)

There's three kinds of dishonesty ...

1) A lie

2) A damned lie

3) A statistic



Peace and comfort,

ASSWIPE!!! There is no way Faux Nuze will evaluate itself and find out what is widely known that its them (and they dont lean left)

bias is not bias when it isnt bias.

So, say we conducted a statistical survey on non-hermaphroditic men and womens cock sizes, finding the average to be 2 inches, and dividing by looking at men by themselves and found it was 3 inches, and women by themselves and found it was 0 inches.

No bias, just fact.


No analogy to an entertainment organization surveying a  news organization whatsoever, neither in the OP or the analogy you have wrongly applied here.

pot calling the kettle grimy arse
We can play I know you are but what am I, all day except, you bore me.you dont have facts, you have bias
I dont need to take a statistics class.
simply put, the facts are they LIE. Not bias, not misunderstanding, not just mistakes but LIES
Hilarious when you cant back up your assertions and try to insult someone that YOUR failure is theirs.
stop looking in a miirror and declaring everyone else is wrong




DaddySatyr -> RE: Fox & Friends: Fox News' Top Misinformer Of 2011 (12/22/2011 1:00:56 PM)

For anyone to say that there is no bias in any news outlet just isn't paying attention. I cannot think of one news source that doesn't have some kind of slant; no matter how slight that slant might be (say that three times, fast).

As far as any of the other shows on any of the news channels, they are targetted and certainly fall into the category of Op/Ed which, by definition is not "news".

Honestly, I am beginning to wonder if it is possible as human beings that we can have news that is completely un-biased. I don't think we can. I think a little bit of personal view sneaks into just about everything. It's why we like reading certain reporters or watching certain anchormen/TV reporters and why we don't like watching others.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

I am certainly not proposing something so outlandish and irresponsible.

No, honestly, I don't think you were. I think it's easy to get caught up in pointing fingers (for any of us) and forgetting that either party is fucking us. They like it when we reduce ourselves to name-calling and bickering because it means that we're not paying attention to the dirty shit they're doing to us.

I think we've seen enough threads and news articles and opinions ad nauseum that we can see that both sides really don't give a fat rat's ass about what we think or what is truly good for us, the people that they're supposed to serve .

Somewhere along the line, service became obfuscated for leadership and I think this country is worse off for it.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

Look at some of those so called "lies." Media Matters states that the following is a lie: drilling for more oil will lead to lower gas prices.

LOL!!!

Perhaps they should revisit the relationship between supply and demand. Furthermore, if any "lies" are being propagated, it's by Media Matters and their editors - who believe that neo-Keynesianism is the solution to all the world's problems.

Many of the other "lies" are not lies at all, but just opinions. If an anchor at FOX dislikes gays or muslims, then it is just a normative statement which cannot be classified as scientific in the first place. When a FOX anchor says that he dislikes gays, he's not lying.





mnottertail -> RE: Fox & Friends: Fox News' Top Misinformer Of 2011 (12/22/2011 1:37:33 PM)

LOL!!! you went from failing at statistical neutrality to failing miserably at market forces.

How would the price of oil drop exactly from some little asswipe added to the market?

Look at the size of the Bakken Fields or the rest of it up in in Canada. And  then point out with your charts and graphs and your facial expressions and clever gestures and your statistics how oil has dropped on the world market due to the influx of these MAASIVE reserves being pumped.

I await your acute personal insights on these matters.

I thought we were about overdue for another leftists vs. free speech thread [:D]

(You do realize that Fox & Friends is a talk show, and not the news - right?)


Do you know there is a long established exception to free speech if you're telling lies? If not you might try brushing up on defamation law.


And expressing an opinion is a defense against defamation, so whats your point?

Not if you know that opinion to be false and you express that "opinion" to do harm to someone.


You apparently dont know the difference between opinion and fact. Opinions can never be falsified.

They can be shown for what they are tho
