Discussion: FOX News II

Fox sucks....

MSNBC sucks.....

CNN sucks.....

ABC, CBS, NBC sucks....

Bloomberg sucks....

Did I miss any?

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

But they don't all suck equally and that's the point.

 

[Thundercrack85]

They all suck differently, in their own special way.

Partisan hackery, sensationalism, creepy obsessing over celebrities, downplaying serious stories, plagiarism, gross incompetence, bias toward false equivalency... It's a whole range of suckery.

 

[Kelly]

equal suckage....lmao

A dozen eggs scrambled together with one rotten egg....is still a rotten batch of scrambled eggs....Doesn't matter if your dozen has 2 rotten eggs, 3 rotten eggs, 4 rotten eggs....it is still a batch of rotten scrambled eggs.

I actually think Fox and MSNBC are equal when it comes to their bias(maybe MSNBC is slightly worse since it does seem that Fox counteracts their far right pundits with a couple center right ones). Where the difference is MSNBC doesn't try hide the fact they biased, Fox acts as if it is somehow fair and balanced.

 

[Fading]

MSNBC is as bias IMO. If you watch their prime time line up it's as bias (though less angry) as Fox's prime time. The difference is they atleast tell the news straight before they put their spin on it before prime time. Fox spins and twists the news as it comes out of the gate. Not to mention Fox does far more harm away from the channel than every other news channel combined. Erasing phone messages, outing government agent names, drawing maps of soldiers plans while they're currently enacting it. To make it worse, Fox has a much larger crowd than MSNBC. Meaning whatever misleading they do, it hurts a lot more ppl.

idk....Ed Shultz and Al Sharpton are pretty nasty. Ed Shultz looks like he is about to convulse any second. MSNBC and Fox News are both partisan news. Fox is just a bigger entity. That doesn't make MSNBC better. If MSNBC had Fox's viewership then you know they would be doing more like Fox.

But CNN has your boy A to the C!

All of them have people that I watch....well except for MSNBC, I just can't stomach anyone on there....but as far as the others, yeah, there are a few on each that I watch. But, media as a whole, died a few decades ago.....

 

[Fading]

I don't mind leaving morning Joe on as background noise while I get ready in the morning, and Rachel Maddows brings up obscure news stories you never hear anywhere else. Past that, I'm with ya on not being a fan of anyone else on the channel. Plus, their entire prime time just parrots eachother. You'd think they're all the same show done with the same script, but with different hosts. Fox, I watch it for 1 min and feel nauseous, lol.

 

[Atom Ant]

Fox's latest lie. These people have no honor. For a network that claims to be full of Christians they sure do bear a lot of false witness.

nope. MSNBC is pulling up even with Fox now. And while they are biased. They don't lie to you. Fox intentionally and with great purpose lie. Blatantly.
Even their tagline is a lie. Anyone who has a brain and watches them should be insulted that they think their audience is so partisan or ignorant that they wouldn't know they were being lied to or care.

That's a false equivalency strawman and you know it.

They accidentally aired a suicide yesterday. Smith handled the apology well.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Shep Smith is literally the only guy with integrity on that channel.

I wonder how much Fox News has to do with the level of stupidity among these voters?

This video is both sad and morbidly entertaining at the same time. I can't believe the interviewer was able to keep a straight face.

That went so farm past my tolerance level for stupidity, I had to punch a kitten.

I really don't want to get into a debate on Fox's Fair and Balanced coverage, because there isn't a debate, they are not fair and balanced as they claim...but I would like to point out just a few of their faaaaar from center right people that are on Fox, weekly, and most more than just weekly, usually 2 to 3 times a week...
Alan Colmes, Shanita Jackson (Jesse Jackson's daughter), Mara Liasson (NPR Reporter), Kirsten Powers, Bob Beckel, Juan Williams, Lanny Davis, Pat Caddell, Sally Kohn (major voice of the Women's Media Center), Jehmu Greene, Andy Stern, Marc Lamont Hill, Leslie Marshall (Liberal Talk Show Host in LA, one of O'Reilly's favorite contributors), Michael Brown, and probably about 10 others that I just can't think of off the top of my head at the moment....these are the ones I have seen the most.

Just making sure that all the facts are out there...not really a debate issue.

I can point out many people from the right that MSNBC has as well, doesn't mean MSNBC is balanced. My basic point is FOX does have more Moderate Republicans then MSNBC has Moderate Democrats

The sad part about lefties on Fox and righties on MSNBC is both basically know their role and can't call out the host on the crap they spew. The few times I watched the 5, I just wanted to strangle Beckel and Williams for not calling the others out on their crap

lol, ooooooh then you have not watched Jackson and Lamont Hill on there or the awesome debates between Powers and pretty much EVERYONE on the right on Fox....Ann Coulter walked off the set during an interview with Kirsten Powers when she (Kirsten Powers) was sitting in for Hannity, it was awesome.

Rupert Murdoch shows his true colors again

Murdoch's NY Post To Gov. Christie: Politicize Hurricane Sandy. Or Else

In a remarkable lead editorial in Rupert Murdoch's New York Post today, the newspaper demands that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie inject presidential politics into the cleanup effort under way in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The Post insists he do so immediately or run the risk of being a labeled a traitor within the Republican Party.

Murdoch's Post, at this very late state of the election run, demands Christie politicize the hurricane relief effort by basically campaigning for Mitt Romney in the context of the killer storm. (Christie hosted President Obama on Wednesday to survey the state's historic damage.) And if Christie does not, the Post warns, "the Republican Party will never forgive him."

There's a deep irony in one of Murdoch's partisan properties now lecturing the New Jersey governor about Sandy. It's ironic because in the immediate aftermath of the epic superstorm, Murdoch's Fox News, and particularly its prime-time lineup, couldn't have cared less about the destruction up and down the East Coast, or even the historic flooding and damage in Fox's corporate hometown of New York City.

As Sandy churned inland last week, Fox was focused on its never-ending Benghazi hysteria and portraying Obama as a treasonous coward. The once-in-a-century-storm that dismantled portions of the largest metropolitan area in America? Fox talkers weren't so concerned.

But now Murdoch declares Sandy matters (perhaps he's seen the polling) and wants the governor of the ravaged Garden State to extol the virtues of Romney's disaster relief effort, even though Romney has no federal experience dealing with disaster relief, and even though candidate Romney has no authority to help the state of New Jersey today.

For Murdoch's Post, blind loyalty to the Republican Party trumps public service, even in the most dire of circumstances.

I don't buy Murdoch being in the Republicans pockets. He is a businessman out to make a buck and realizes their is a market for right wing TV. I remember when Fox Network began, that was the most liberal of liberal TV stations around and changed TV(which many on the right would claim for the worse with all it's sex and low opinion on family relationships)

Christie should tell Murdoch to go **** himself.
