All headlines tend to be misleading and sensational, no matter who they are from, the left or the right.:roll:

Yet one can't help but notice that that sort of thing happens a lot more from Fox News. Really makes me wish we lived in a world where journalism actually meant something.

I don't know...judging from the link (and past experience) it really seems like Fox is sensationalizing headlines a lot more than "actual" news headlines are.
Not going to lie, some of those are pretty bad (especially the Obama ones) But others I like. These websites are all competing with each other for page hits. Having a title like "NYC Public Schools Teaching How to Abandon Your Baby?" is going to draw in more people than other more mundane headlines. And seeing as they made it a question, they can simply say "no", and then go on a post a similar story to what other sites have.
LOL, we know the response from Fox News defenders though. "Bwah bwah, we have nobody to represent us in the media therefore scaremongering and outright lying is perfectly fine!":cry:
Faux News I find it amazing how much the people at Fox still don't know why they get so much hate directed at them.ZumaJones07
I checked Fox News' site and searched for some of those headlines and they didn't show up. So perhaps the link is not showing real fox headlines but is making it up.

This thread is funny. An actual news headline is one that is used by a news service. Whatever the political spin one puts on their headline...it's still a headline.

Strange nothing showed up for me when I searched those two headlines. I'm guessing they didn't show up because they weren't on the main fox news site, but on the FOX Nation subsite.

I used Google to search for the verbatim headlines; don't know if they break their stuff out like that or maybe if they just have delays in getting items indexed

those remind me of the Daily Show a couple nights ago where Jon Stewart went over several of Fox New's biggest lies whic are rated by the completely and seriously unbiased source politifacts.com. They had the 2009 and 2010 lies of the year lol...if only people knew that fox news is entertainment television and not news.

I wouldn't characterize all of Fox like that. Fox Connecticut seems to be mostly matter of fact.
So what, it's just like how CNN and MSNBC put a liberal spin on all their stuff. (I don't even want to hear that they don't.)
They don't. They're not an unbiased source of news. I've yet to find any site that does that. They certainly aren't unbiased, but they aren't biased like how Fox News is biased.

why would you? That would mean that one of Fox New's overall messages about how everyone, but Fox News is part of the "Liberal Media" would be incorrect. If that was not the case perhaps you could trust other new sources and Fox would lose viewers.

They're not an unbiased source of news. I've yet to find any site that does that. They certainly aren't unbiased, but they aren't biased like how Fox News is biased. You mean like Dan Rather making up that story? That's pretty bad when you anchorman flat out lies. Fox is comically biased. I dont think anyone can defend how bad they are, but many other stations certainly have their problems.

What Dan Rather did isn't so much bias as it is just flat-out s***ty reporting. What I mean is that at Fox News, the conservative bias is very well coordinated and systemic, compared to - say - MSNBC, who just stock-up their prime-time programming with liberal opinion shows.
Well, after reading those headlines, I must say the fox news ones were much more potent in attracting my attention.Setsa
And that's the point, nothing more. But places full of liberals, like OT, blow it out of proportion and just prove what everyone says about the media right.

Its funny ,but it also isn't something that is that just Fox News does. Huffingtonpost and UK Dailymail in particular come to mind when I think of these kinds of headlines.
