You don't think that Fox's intermittent programming of news and pundits isn't intended to do exactly this?
The switched footage of the attendance at their teabag rally with that of the Glenn Back rally isn't editing with the intent to mislead?
To quote Stewart "MSNBC wishes they were Fox" (meaning as successful). No one with any credibility is trying to claim MSNBC as an unbiased news source.
That's what everyone is missing here; people are only attacking Fox when they know damn well the other's have their own biases... so, why the singling out of just Fox?
Switching footage of crowd size is a perfect example... Fox did it, and they all do it, and I don't like it. But that is vastly different than what MSNBC did and far less dangerous; creating a fake race-baiting storyline by taking the time to doctor a video? Come on now.

Glenn is no retard, he's very smart, as are most of the people at Fox. It's how they use their intelligence, and showman skills in Glenn's case, to use fear and hate to manipulate the people of America.

Why do people pick on Fox? Because it tries to portray itself as the most fair network of them all but it gives out the most distorted message of all of them. I cant be bothered to search for the polls now (been awake for about 40 hours by now, perhaps tomorrow if i manage to get some sleep) but ive seen them, done by nonpartisan groups that show that people that get their "news" from fox news have the most warped view of the situation in america and abroad.
Another reason is that its a safe heaven and breeding ground for political hate speech and outright lies. FEMA death camps, the birther movement, obama is going to kill grandma...damn nonsense all of it but who kept it alive, feeding it to its viewers?
And the blatant affiliation with the conservatives doesnt help the network at all. Not only sponsoring but being the driving force behind for example the 9/12 rally which was Becks baby but was actively promoted and reported on by the entire network, and speaking of reporting on that, the amount of poeple in attendance when reported by fox was ten times the number reported by other networks and official estimates. Compensating much?

You do realize what country Fox News broadcasts in, right?
You're obviously falling for it

We all know how well that's working out, RE: watered down stimulus and a HCR bill stripped of anything meaningful to appease presidents LIEberman and Nelson.
Democrats in WA, including the obama admin, are spineless pusssies and refuse to call out the teabaggers and corporate owned blue dogs for what they are; bought and payed for wall street and insurance company shills.
Democrats deserve to get their asses handed to them for ignoring their base, president palin will save the day
Faux is nothing more than kkk wing of the gee oh pee, their viewers are 95% racist teabaggers who think their 'murica is being stolen by all the brown people and ACORN and the kenyan communist who would be considered a conservative in many other countries.
Teabaggers need to be called out for their hatred of america.
Such patriots, they.

this is the perfect video that shows the viewership of faux news.

esp last min of video
edit...and yes, both sides of the political spectrum have people like that...

Because fox is unique and special within the contexts of exceptionally journalism. If you think they are comparable to the other networks, you’re a blind partisan fool. That’s not to say the other networks are perfect or beyond reproach of course (except you PBS, we love you!), but fox is qualitatively and quantitatively worse than anything else currently available on television outside china or iran.

And while i know that this doesnt actually fit into this discussion...something for our conservative friends...
HA!

Scared people watching Fox? lol. I would actually like you to show me one example of Fox purposely distorting or editing the news in a way that is unethical or backs up your lack of integrity claim. I'm not talking about pundit opinion shows, I'm talking about the news.
One can't say the same about the left wing hack machine MSNBC, after they PURPOSELY edited this video of a black guy holding a gun at an Obama protest, cropping out his head and arms so he'd be assumed to be white, and go on to say "having this kind of stuff at rallys has racial overtones" and "it's troubling with a man of color in the White House." Watch for yourself.

Here's an actual photo of the guy. Show me one example of Fox doing this .

... so you're going to tell me that that post doesn't imply that you're defending Fox? If you weren't, then you'd certainly do well to learn how to properly word your posts in the future.
