I guess where you stand depends on where you sit. In my mind, Fox is so biased that it is almost laughable. When they discuss conservative platform X, they have one commentator who is for it and another commentator who is really for it.

Sorry if you were being sarcastic and I didn't get it.

i agree with you.the only thing funnier than fox saying its fair and balanced is michael irvin sticking up for T.O.
and i meant to say biased, sorry

I think the problem is that you can't see that CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN are as biased as Fox is. The media has been so left for so long that it is normal now and when there is a right leaning station like Fox they look like Hitler.

And I love those who don't watch Fox that much when they talk about how there are never liberals on. I think liberals are represented more on Fox than conservatives on CNN.

i never said those other stations arent bised. its just that most of the time fox is worried about how they report a story, instead of just reporting it. you can spin it any way you like, but news is still news

You did say Fox was more biased. Nothing you said had anything to do with them worrying about how they report it until your most recent post.

And I think unfortunately there are too many people in the world who agree that news is just news when this whole discussion has been based around the idea that news isn't just news. Spin does mean a lot. Not a whole lot of people think enough for themselves to tell the difference between spin and facts.

I think Fox is more biased, but maybe it [rightly] feels like it has to be since all the other outlets are more numerous. And while I do not particularly care for Fox, it's probably better to have Fox around to act as a counterweight.

i am all about the facts. just tell me the truth, and i can make it work, any way i want it to. fox was one of the biggest bashers of dan rather, for not reporting the truth. but people like bill oreilley can make up stuff about obama's schooling, and nothing gets said.

You seem like one the few who can think for themselves. What did O'Reilly say about Obama's schooling? (Not a challenge, just a question)

dmek25 · 01-29-2007, 11:36 AM

something along the lines on how his private school was strictly Muslim. and in reality it was a Christian school, with a few Muslims attending

dmek25 · 01-29-2007, 11:38 AM

and frplg, what miracle were you there for?

I looked around and I don't think it was O'Reilly who was on that story.

I was there for the Dallas miracle this season. Old sig needs changing.

its not really the point of who said it. its the point that fox definitely has a news editor, and to report fact less stories, is totally irresponsible. someone is to blame. if you are a news channel, lets stick to the news. for some reason, most of the news channels think they have to be entertaining, as well

How do you know the Fox story is incorrect you must have seen something to contradict the story. I don't think you have to worry about Fox going after Obama as the Clintons already have investagators digging up dirt on him. She will take care of that.

dmek25 · 01-29-2007, 01:20 PM

she had better worry about her own skeletons. and guilianis closet is full. the next couple of years ought to be pretty eventful

comcast was reporting that Anderson Cooper went to turkey( i think?) to investigate. all of the big news providers knew of this, and decided it wasn't news worthy
