Fox news can't do math

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"][QUOTE="nimatoad2000"]

glen beck was normal when he was on CNN tho ( normal as in not crazy) he changed completely when going over to fox, in a sense he was bought. his entire show is an act. he does not believe in what he says. there is even a video out there of him putting a lot of vizene into his eyes to irritate them, so then when the cameras turn on, he's crying. i give him credit, he is a brilliant actor if you can call fooling millions of people into believing / following you acting that is.

And I still find it pretty ironic that people actually think that he's trying to portray fact. The only fact of the matter is that the television show, and its radio simulcast, is for political COMMENTARY, not news. For proper news, Fox is pretty good. For commentary, you can bet the house that they're predominantly conservative.

i think you should watch this.

fox news " news " side brings up a subject and tells people that it is an important issue, then the opinion side makes opinionated claims about these issues, then the next day the " news " side says " some people have been saying ... " .. YEAH THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID THOSE THINGS WERE ON RIGHT BEFORE YOU.

Wow, a thread about a simple graphing error has gone on past 6 pages. I wonder how many pages a big screw up of Fox News's will be. "Breaking News: Entire cast of Fox & Friends caught snorting coke off of the Bill of Rights" clubsammich91

I just made this...

Thanks for that!

Really? John Stewart has taught you things? :lol:

That explains a lot.

Fox News is so biased. I prefer straight, honest, unbiased news like Keith Olberman or Rachel Maddow from MSNBC. It's nice to see such open mindedness, quality reporting, great insight into the issues, and fair coverage still exist. If you look up objective in the dictionary, it says "see also Olberman or Maddow."

You know, this would be funnier if people here were actually saying Olberman/Maddow/MSNBC were unbiased. :|

If you're trying to be funny, this isn't funny. :|

But the more dangerous thing is the major networks. Many people consider that news to be trustworthy and forthright. However, most of those networks are owned by large corporations and may push their own hidden agendas. NBC was part of GE for quite some time, and I doubt that meant their coverage was purely objective. They may have pushed an agenda that favored GE etc.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Just because other networks skew the news, why should we let Fox pass? mattbbpl

All they did was use the wrong type of graph to represent their data. I don't see what the big deal is.MetroidPrimePwn

Lol, just like how CNN is against something/someone relating to Conservatism. It's not a big deal, it's what the news stations do...News flash from Pro-Link! This is nothing new!

[QUOTE="Link256"]Because just about anytime Fox News makes a mistake, it seems to be against something/someone(s) relating to Liberalism or the Democratic Party majority of the time.-Pro-Link-

Yeah..maybe if Fox actually focused on reporting proper news this wouldn't happen.

i didn't know anyone watched fox news.

" .. YEAH THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID THOSE THINGS WERE ON RIGHT BEFORE YOU.

And they also report on what other sides say as well. In fact, if you hadn't noticed, CNN, MSNBC, and most others report on both sides of the issue. That's what makes news, after all. Indeed, I've been watching both Fox and CNN lately, and on the stories they both report they're actually corroborative of each other. The commentary that usually follows each, though, tends to be conservatively and liberally biased, respectively. You're not going to get unbiased reporting, no matter where you go. Not from CNN, not from MSNBC, not from Fox, not from BBC, not from any news service run by a larger corporation or government (in the case of the BBC).

Fox news can't do news.dashes_
