so why the fuck do a lot of you have beef with FOX NEWS?
 

k i watch CNN mostly between the two but im not much of a tv guy anyway. Ok Ill admit CNN is my homepage


but whats the beef with fox news? I can understand cuz they have Geraldo but is there anything else I should know?

WHATS THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEF SON

rupert murdoch seems to have a underlying republican agenda to propagate over his airwaves :2 cents:

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

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!

what ^ said :thumbsup

Because people like Dork Jedi just copy and paste it here..If I wanted to read news I would go there

I guess that the best way to find out why we all hate them, it to watch them some time.

If you're going to slam Fox News, you might want to get the facts straight

They've been around longer than that

OH OH IM SORRY.

WHEN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WENT DOWN.

SORRY FOX NEWS BUTT FUCKER. DIDNT KNOW!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


I think that is a good testiment to the intelligence of the people think fox news is biased.

I hate fox news becuase the fabricated that President Bush AWOL story when they knew it was fake. They should be in jail

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

They've been around longer than that

any news broadcast that has a motto of "we are fair and balanced news" is a bunch of bullshit.

they actually have to state that they are fair and balanced to the public.

like a robot!

WEEE ARRREEE FFFAAAIRRR AAANNDD BAAALLANNNCCEDDD.

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 :)

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

interesting read on how "fair and balanced" fox news is.

biased right wing

Notice how that article says it launched in 1996?

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.

i stood corrected earlier in the post ;)

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. :2 cents:

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

im a hypocrite, you win. happy?

what state do you live in BRISK?

Two wrongs make a right?

Why do you ask?

No they don't, unless your a republican like yourself :)

it would give me a better idea on the standpoint of your political views.

You're making more incorrect assumptions.

okay okay BRISK, im backing down..don't feel like argueing politics on GFY on easter sunday.

done, I WAS WRONG. FOX NEWS START DECEIVING THE PUBLIC IN 1996 NOT 2000. MY BAD!

Not gonna reply anymore to this thread so save your breath...go watch bill o'reilly and give yourself a hardy chuckle.

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.

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.

:321GFY

it is actually the ony television show that I watch most of the time.

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

I'm just sad that he retired before he called Ohio a red state.

We were never "argueing politics"

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.

There's plenty of proof... their own words being the best example. The Afghanistan and Iraq wars were planned a long time before 9/11.

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.

:321GFY

i'm not that much a fan of biased journalism that has bill on their show

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 could write a 3 paragraph article detailing why Fox is biased, slanted and dishonest.. but I think the following is mroe than enough:

Bill O'Reilly

:disgust

Anyone catch Katie Couric (sp) on air reffering to the John Kerry Campaign as "we"?

Write a 3 page article backing up Dan Rather's current claims that his fake article was based on facts. Somebody should.
