Thread: White House advisers say Fox News is not news

Your video was not exactly the model of objective journalism and that is what I found with 2 min of google.
The point of the first video is that there was EIGHT years of bush as hitler and nobody in the MSM was all that concerned.
But let one Lyndon LaRouche DEMOCRAT have a sign with Obama as hitler and the sky is falling and democracy is being undermined ...blah blah blah.
The second was opinionated I will give you that, but I wonder if you see the center in the center ....or is your view skewed to the left 5-6 degrees but you don't compensate for it.
The third video was the absolute bullshit the media tries to push.
Socialist is not a code for anything and the talking head was trying to get press by pushing the racism button, again.
and number four was what came up for " liberal media bias".

Fox is the only mainstream outlet that is not left wing to some extent.
When you measure all the press and look at the subltle to outright bias, I think you will see, if you are really objective, that it leans more than 5-6 degrees to the left.
No one MSM is as baised as Fox is and when you single out Fox, it is for an ulterior motive.
Perhaps not you personally, but the White House is not concerned with journalistic integrity, they are concerned with controlling the message.
The lies we have been told about the reform bills only came to light because of "right wing" media, because the MSM did not look or care about the details of the plan.

In a country where free speech is a right and the press is protected, the answer to "lies" is truth, not censorship.

This isn't a specific example of bias, but read the headline here....

Then you have to read the whole article and on the second to last line, is the caveat.
You have to relocate these homes, ie: Discovery channel moving house stuff.
So the headline makes it seem like the housing market, at least in that area, is still hurting when in reality the cost of these houses is still probably far above market value when you add in the cost of relocating them.

It is subtle and almost meaningless, but you start to add up all the times that media deliberately misleads you and there is the media bias some us see happening.

Now I'm like totally sure that doesn't apply to some people, who like I'm totally sure fact check each and every piece of data they absorb, but for normal folks, it can easily lead to 5-6 degree shift from the truth.

If you don't believe me, watch a bunch of media reports on something esoteric that you know a lot about and see how times the "news" gets it wrong.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!one!!!!!!1111!!!!!!1

There's a difference. I've said many times some of the FOX news shows have biased hosts. Hawg doesn't even take other networks into the consideration...it's just "Fox Sucks" all the time from him.

I do, and I have taken the other networks into consideration. I have said that the other networks do have bias. But none are on the scale of Faux News. BTW, I "always bring Hannity and Beck" and OReilly because that is all their network is, those three clown with a supporting staff............ Start up a thread about how biased MSNBC is, I won't dispute that. But alas, this thread is about how ridiculous Fox News is, an dhow they are not "news"....

A stated before, PBS/NPR, BBC.........

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This thread is not about how baised Fox is.
That is what you want to bring it back to.
Is that because you don't want to discuss the chilling effect on free speech this White Houses actions have, from the snitch website to attacking Fox News.
Did they promise you a nice new Brownshirt ?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!one!!!!1

What chilling effect?

Faux News wasn't closed down. They are still free to spew all of the untruths that they have been for the past decade. There aren't any injunctions, no station closings, hell, not even much of a drop of the amount of people that actually still ingest the swill Faux passes off as "news".

When all someone from the administration said was "Fox News is not news",(which is true) and there is somehow a "chilling effect"?

Dramatic much?

Did you take your medication today?

Well, we didn't expect you to put your discount Brownshirt at risk by acknowledging the obvious,.
