so much partisan ugliness in your post I could spend too many hours saying so---the short answer is its the typical lefty diatribe of that everything we don't agree with is extreme, hateful, harmful, blameworthy, etc.---instead let me focus on the relatively easy low hanging fruit.

...Then of course, there is the hilarious video on Fox and Friends, of Steve Doocy accidentally revealing that he is reading DIRECTLY from an RNC memo...

didn't see it so I cant speak to it---but it makes me wonder if you actually saw it, or just the jon stewart version of it? you know, where truth be damned in order to either promote the left and/or get a laugh.

I understand he reported that unemployment, the debt and gas prices were high. those are rnc talking points and not facts at the time?

but more importantly...

...in TIGHT coordination with Fox News...

...again tightly coordinated with Fox News...

so this seems like a step deeper than the liberal cry of "fox news is the media arm of the republican party." it directly states communications to a specific end, if not outright collusion.

surely the evidence of that abounds and would make its own thread topic.

while youre gathering that, here's Hillary Clinton saying more or less otherwise.

and surrogate ed Rendell saying similarly:

here's a little blurb about their presidential election coverage during the time:

quote:

Fox News Channel’s coverage was more balanced toward both parties than the broadcast networks were. On FOX, evaluations of all Democratic candidates combined were split almost evenly – 51% positive vs. 49% negative, as were all evaluations of GOP candidates – 49% positive vs. 51% negative, producing a perfectly balanced 50-50 split for all candidates of both parties.

heres another little blurb specific to Obama:

quote:

The Pew (PEJ) report for the 2008 election cycle is out.

Among the findings?

FOXNEWS provided the most balanced cable coverage of the 2008 presidential election among major news outlets (CNN, MSNBC, FOXNEWS) and likely the most balanced of all six outlets (NBC, CBS, ABC included), although they oddly didnt release the latter three network's numbers.

BEST (FOXNEWS)
Positive Obama Stories 25%
Positive McCain Stories 22%
Negative Obama Stories 40%
Negative McCain Stories 40%

WORST (MSDNC) [note the little play on words---ever complain about them I wonder?]
Positive Obama Stories 73%
Positive McCain Stories 10%
Negative Obama Stories 14%
Negative McCain Stories 43%

TOTAL COVERAGE (all media added together - 2,412 stories from 48 outlets)
Positive Obama Stories 36%
Positive McCain Stories 14%
Negative Obama Stories 29%
Negative McCain Stories 57%

as far as since then? sorry--I actually watch fox news so the idea of that its all-bashing-Obama-all-the-time, which is what you clearly stating, is dead wrong. there are plenty of people on fox who cant stand him, and you can tell who they are. there are also people on fox who love him, and you can tell who they are. but even on the shows hosted by the people who cannot stand the guy, they will have Obama supporters on and I have also heard over and over again, dyed in the wool Obama haters praise him when due.

i'll look for that new thread about the tight coordination/collusion of fox news with the republican party...

I am not sure of your point here?

That Jon Stewart somehow created FoxNews footage of Doocy reading an RNC memo?
That somehow the RNC talking points didn't end up on FOX News all day during the Bush administration?
That the Fox News 2008 election coverage was "Fair and Balanced" - lol

And you are quoting "Yelp"????

Wow, someone showed you solid evidence that Fox News has the most balance coverage, and you completely ignore that fact! And focus on one thing. I guess RNC also gives Fox all the positive reporting on Obama and negative reporting on McCain. If that's the case. Good on RNC for doing that!

He may be quoting Yelp, but this is where the real info came from. http://www.journalism.org/2008/10/29/the-color-of-news/#fn1

The longer this stuff goes on, the more I think Trump is doing this shit to mock the US election system and the GOP. It's almost like he's doing everything he can to make himself as ugly a candidate as possible. The worst part is, the people are backing him.
I simply have no idea how anyone could back Trump. It boggles my mind how someone could think, even for a moment, that he's Presidential material. How could anyone desire Trump being the leader of the US?!?
The only thing I can think is that his popularity is there only because we, as a Nation, are devolving into "Reality TV" mentality. Clinton, Sanders, O'Malley, and, pretty much, all the other GOP candidates, aren't "Reality TV" worthy (being worthy is not a good thing); Trump is the only one. I take that back. Huckabee might have been Reality TV worthy.
I can't imagine how GOP Party leadership can allow someone like Trump to run under the GOP mantle. It just blows me away.

I cant disagree with anything you have said....
:)ok maybe one thing, ...cruz isnt the answer either...

Exactly, and at that time. Everyone accuse Foxnews of attacking Obama because his black, blah blah blah, being racists fucks! This prove that Fox News was not, but during the election, Fox News was getting so much crap about spinning shit about Obama! Lib medias always get ZERO crap for their one sided reporting.

We clearly cannot see actual statistic until 2017 election is over.

I don't know why you are blatantly ignoring solid evidence that Fox News is not as bias as Libs and mainstream media always try to spin that they are!
