fl_prn_str · 03-27-2005, 09:28 PM

rupert murdoch seems to have a underlying republican agenda to propagate over his airwaves

SykkBoy · 03-27-2005, 09:29 PM

I dunno, but I was thinking of buying one of those doodads from www.foxblocker.com but then I realized I just skip it when channel surfing anyways

jonpotz · 03-27-2005, 09:31 PM

Ummm...they seem to be very biased towards the republican agenda.

Also, Bill O'reilly, that guy is a fucking moron.

He speaks over people and doesn't really listen to the opinions and then shuts em down before they even get to throw out a good point.

If you remember FOX news was created right before the afganistan / iraq war (if the two can even be compared, oh wait, they can't, they have nothing to do with each other...but you won't hear that on fox news).

FOX SUCKS.

GOOGLE NEWS...THE ONLY WAY!

fox is just fox. what else do you think? they report semi decent shit sure, maybe they even try, but their commitment to the devil compiled with everyone caling shots having ulteriour motives, why should anything but a PIECEOFSHIT give a fuck about fox? They don't. You all suck

okay okay, i stand corrected, fox news came around in 96'...but thats when bush and the cronies started planning the war. no proof, but probably is true

=^..^= · 03-27-2005, 10:29 PM

Fox news was also the only channel to Announce Bush as the winner of the election - all other channels had called it as GORE
but as soon as FOX called Bush - the other networks had to change then we all know what happened next:

RECOUNT

Better stick to unbiased new sources like moveon.org and airamerica

btw, that thing about declaring bush was president was just a untrue thing from fareinheit 911, another great source of unbiased news.

This is an interesting reaction, especially after what you yourself posted on how Bill O'Reilly operates, and how you're posting about how Fox News misrepresents the truth.

You yourself posted misinformation in this thread, then when corrected, you fire off insults in the hopes of cutting down the person who corrected you in the hope of trying to save face.

Right now, you're looking just as bad as Fox News and Bill O'Reilly. You look like a hypocrite.

If you're going to slam Fox News for spreading misinformation, you might want to try and use correct information yourself.

jonpotz · 03-27-2005, 10:44 PM

i'll spread as much misinformation as I can to get people to stop watching fox news

hydro · 03-27-2005, 10:52 PM

My problem with them is they contantly claim they are fair and balanced when they clearly aren't. Of course any good reporter will show signs of favoritism in whatever story they cover because they are reporting about something they probably have a strong opinon on.

Barefootsies · 03-27-2005, 10:57 PM

Because they treat it like Fox channel.. Sensationalized news. More like a tabloid than actual news channel. If you want real news, you watch BBC/BBC Amercia or listen to NPR.

I mirror what other's said about O'Reilly. Not only does he always cut off his guests so they barely get to make a point, but I have no idea where this dude gets some of his info.

They use a ton of retired arm chair quarterbacks to psycho analyize everything. Hypotheticals up the ass.

Their in your face right slant.

Murdock's/Fox News right wing, pro Bush, Republican oral fixation to avoid FCC regulation and fines. Fox channel always walks borderline on this stuff, and has. Being the first network using some of the cursing stuff we now accept in network TV way back with their first series, and subject matter back in late 80's.

O'Reilly. Enough said in just that.

reynold · 03-27-2005, 11:00 PM

The funny thing about it is that Dan Rather is those most recent news person to commit a felony while practicing biased journalism.

Your lack of objective thought, and willingness to jump to conclusions is leading you down the wrong path about my thoughts on Fox News.

Because I corrected you, you automatically assumed I must be a Fox News supporter. I'm not. I don't like Fox News.

I think it's great that you hate Fox News as well, but your methods of educating people on why they should dislike Fox News are disturbingly similar to the methods Fox News use themselves. Methods that you yourself are condemning. Think about that.

Well, you still have to keep in mind that in their business, they all are trying to keep up with the Jone's. I am not saying any other U.S. network is completely clean of the Fox News b.s., I am saying they are worse than most of the others as a whole.

However, all network news has gone the way of sensationalized, trival reporting. All fighting for ratings. If you ask most of America if they feel the world is safe, they would say no, but the FBI's own statistics for the past 2-3 decades show crime has been on the decrease, but people are more afraid.

News is a business.

Fox news gives both sides including the conservative side. The majority of American's are conservative. They have a larger market than liberal biased news stations.

There is an amazing trend in the ratings of cable news networks.

I watch the BBC. Great stuff. Very in-depth. Also there's usually two sides discussed. No drive-by reporting and bullshit sound bites. Like I said in another post, Fox News is killing CNN because it managed to turn news into dramatic entertainment full of good vs. evil reductionism. It's not about conservative agendas per se but identifying an emotional need present in the viewer and hitting that hot button. It's all about delivering entertainment and making that $$$

chaze · 03-28-2005, 01:54 AM

BBC is the only real news anymore.

Fox and most others are all influenced by the stations advertisiers or hidden investors.

Of course wat's new right?

We live a place where one guy has more money then most governments. And half of the worlds top 11% of highest income lives here.

Everything is chase and chase some more, what a shame but that's life.

I've watched Fox, I don't notice anything amiss either. GFY would have you believe Fox is a Nazi organization. Maybe it's a little right of center, but nothing at all extreme nor more susceptible to and/or supportive of propaganda than CNN or any other outlet.
