Anyone else think Fox News is...

[QUOTE="RazerBlade13"]Yeah. It's nice to know while our economy is tanking and jobs are dropping like flies,our presidentcan campaign when he still has two years in his term.scorch-62

The interview was in 2004, when his approval was still relatively high, and the economy was still in in the boom part of the business cycle.Rhazakna

Good God. Can we just conclude that all news stations have some bias in them? Even if Fox News is VERY biased, so what? If you don't like it, don't watch it then.

Yup. I only watch two news shows and they have never proved me wrong.

Dear sweet Jesus it's another one!!! :roll:

All news stations display these traits, it's just that Fox News is the most obvious since it's the black sheep station with its right wing views. If it was more liberal, it would just blend in with the rest of the crap out there. I, for one, commend them for staying strong in their stance, instead of just conforming to the left wing standards our media outlets have established.

Making fun of FOX news makes you cool.

Interesting that you choose to focus on two of the many things he was asked, much of which were actually hardball questions.

Fox news is republican (NOT conservative) biased, while every other network in existence is liberal biased. The thing is, if you watch fox news and you are a liberal, then you will catch those things but if you are a republican (NOT conservative) you will not notice those things. If you are a republican or conservative watching any other network then you will notice the EXACT same things happening. I can't tell you how many times i have watched Fox News and CNN and MSNBC and the nightly news (NBC, CBS, etc...) and noticed extremely biased and one sided stories. They really aren't that different.

"We think it is right to control your life in thisway."

"Well, we think it is right to control your life in this otherway."

I wish there was a network that catered to my political agenda :cry:Right now the Internet is the only way for me to get news that is biased in my own way but soon the government will have the power to regulate it.

fox is the only right leaning news channel, CNN is the most moderate but still has left leanings. all other channels are as left as fox is right or more so. if i got my news from the telly it would be from them and CNN, i sure as heck would not take anything MSNBC said as truth let alone informational surrealnumber5

The News Hour is the best TV news. And Fox is definitely worse than MSNBC...

I mean, to be fair, the bolded applies to Fox as well.

LOL at Fox News...

Nope. i like them. there my comedy show.

No, I don't. The only ones who do appear to be Liberals. :|

*pumps shotgun* We dun like yer kind 'round here. :xscorch-62

This combined with people defending Fox because "the other news sources aren't any better" made me lol.

lol if you think educated conservatives turn to Fox news for actual information.

No I think it goes far beyond that.. The whole Acorn thing and the attack on the agriculture lady were clear evidence of this..

[QUOTE="Rhazakna"][QUOTE="scorch-62"]Are you aware that he was asked several serious questions, as well?scorch-62

:lol: I never watch Fox New or any other cable news network, except maybe occasional youtube clips for entertainment's sake. Ridiculous assumptions FTL. I really have no idea why you would even say that, considering I specifically said politicians almost never get asked questions that can't be waved away by rhetoric. Obama is not unique, and I very purposely wasn't talking just about him. Your post makes me think you read the first three words of my post, then decided to respond, cutting everything else out.

My political views would be about as welcome at Fox News as Malik Shabaaz at a KKK rally. The fact you would assume I get my information from Fox tells me you aren't interested in rational discourse, and just want to label and dismiss people who disagree with you.

I think Fox needs to hire Dan Rather, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Rick Sanchez, George Stephanopoulos, and Wolf Blitzer to help them design a more unbiased news cast, since the other networks are such experts at delievering unbiased fair news.

No, I actually love Fox News. I don't trust any other news source.

It isn't about Obama! Good lord, can you read at all? It's all politicians. The questions they're asked may be considered serious by the askers, but in reality they're almost always questions that can be waved away by going over talking points. The entire Presidential debate system is set up so two candidates simply exchange rhetoric. There is no real exchange of ideas or any delving into philosophy in politics. Clarifying ideas and having a consistent political philosophy is detrimental to political aspirations. This is the third ****ing time I've had to explain this to you, I will not explain it again. If you can't understand what I'm saying now, then you're just hopeless.

Also, even if I was saying that Obama wasn't asked any serious questions, that says nothing about whether or not I watch Fox News. I don't watch the channel. I don't get any of my information, or any of my ideas from said channel or anyone who works on said channel. Are you actually trying to tell me what I watch? I know what I watch, and I have no interest in corporatist news conglomerates, aside from the modicum of entertainment value they can offer. I see this often, you don't want to understand my political philosophy, so instead you file what I think under a nice, simple label you can dismiss. I am not a republican, I am certainly not a conservative or a tea-party protester. I do not agree with the views Fox News propagates. They are corporatists, capitalists, religious fundamentalists, traditionalists, nationalists and they're pro-war. I oppose all of those aforementioned things. In fact, I can barely think of one specific thing said on Fox News that I agree with.

[QUOTE="scorch62"][QUOTE="Rhazakna"] Why not? His presidency at the time was going much smoother than Obama's is now, and the problems in the economy hadn't yet manifested. Not to mention 2004 was an election year, and he campaigned on family values, which is what the interview focused on. I don't see how anyone can say that a President being asked about family values (a cornerstone of his campaign) is more embarrassing than the President being asked about characters on Jersey Shore, or Mel Gibson's rant.

I just think threads like these are a joke. Criticizing FOX News as though no other network has a speck of credibility issues is the height of absurdity. Fox has its own issues, but never have I seen a network pull anything as nefarious as the Dan Rather's Bush National Guard Documents, which was literally made up. Or how about CNN's reporting of a terrorist attack on 9/11 which turned out to be a routine training exercise by the coast guard?

Fox is a far more balanced network than any mainstream news organization I've seen in many years.

[QUOTE="QuistisTrepe_"]

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"] And this somehow vindicates Fox News from being the News equivalent of a cesspool how? Even IF other news outlets spewed as much garbage as FOX it somehow wouldn't validate it as a "fair and balanced" news source. SEANMCAD

I agree except for the last part. I think Fox news is the absolute worst out of several mainstream news organizations that are terrible.

Its ironical becuase before the iraq war I was extreemly confident that Iraq had no WMD's becuase of my sources for information, turns out I was right.

Oh, I haven't forgotten FOX's coverage of the early stages of the Iraq War. I especially recall how they tried to make Jessica Lynch into Joan of Arc. What works in FOX favor is how they report on stories which are completely ignored by the mainstream news channels. The most recent example was the New Black Panther story and the issues with the DOJ. Only FOX had been reporting it.

I trust fox news much more than I trust any other news station. That being said, I don't watch it that much and usually just check drudgereport.com for my news.
