Fox isn't bias, It has both liberal AND conservatives, FYI.
No,CNN,New York times,and The washington post are not all factual information. |
*Sigh*
We're not going to go down this road again with Fox, are we?
| quote: | The New york times is a huge joke,You want to blame the Drudge report for lieing? Well you picked the wrong news source to bring up. The NY times lied,more than once I assure you.
So, what about the guy the New york times fired for making stuff up? Hmm. This should be an interesting reply. |
That was most unfortunate for a paper that is considered the most highly regarded world newspaper. Thank God that little turd reporter was caught.
It is up to the reader, however, to read through and understand bias. This is true for any media sources, whether it be newspaper, TV, radio, or internet. For you to consistently regard Fox as a non-bias news source, when even the most staunch Conservatives consider it biased, only exhibits your true ignorance. You will be hard pressed to find any Conservatives even here that would agree with your non-biased assessment of Fox.
Having a TV outlet created by a staunch Conservative supporter (Murdoch giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican campaign), fill the entire staff up with Conservative reporters and commentators, as well as former Conservative presidential staff members (and writers), and then occasionally have a centrist liberal show up for an alternative opinion (i.e. Alan Colmes) is far from being non-biased. And just to review some people on Faux's staff:
| quote: | So FAUX's chairman Roger Ailes – who had worked as a media adviser for the Nixon, Reagan, and Bush Sr., wouldn't create a biased environment, eh? I especially loved the 2000 election coverage by John "Let Me Call Florida" Ellis, the head of FAUX's coverage (which so happened to be Bush's cousin).
Bill O'Reilly (who is a registered Republican, despite his lie that he is an Independent), Brit Hume, Tony Snow (a former speech writer for Bush Sr.), David Asman (former Op-Ed editor at the Wall Street Journal) Sean Hannity (need I say more), frequent contributors like Fred Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard (staunch Conservative publication); Monica Crowley, former assistant to Nixon; Jim Pinkerton, former Reagan and Bush staffer; John Podhoretz, editorial page editor of the New York Post and former Reagan speechwriter; and John Fund, a member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board and collaborator on Limbaugh's political diatribe, The Way Things Ought to Be.

(that is a leftist journal, BTW. The facts given however, are undisputed)

I doubt CNN, NYTimes, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, or any other main news outlet has a "liberal" lineup that's equivalent to this. Can you think of one to note?
So to recap: staunch Conservatives vs. centrist Liberals is NOT "Fair and Balanced" (God I hope they don't sue me for using their phrase).

You appear to make a cogent argument on the surface ... but then I remembered that you're biased. So I'm not falling for your duplicity. Go fox news ... the last bastion of truth in the world today! Except for the bible of course.
