Fox News....WHAT?!

SO I was just in the junk of junk forum sections (System Wars) and I noticed a mod locked a thread that was titled (G4TV=Fox News of gaming).

The mod left a comment saying that the thread was not relevant in System Wars (which I agree) but then he said "There a number of users on here who like Fox news".

Please tell me this is not true.

I know just about any news outlet is heavily biased but FOX News is the King of them.

And with horrible shows like Bill O 'Reilly and Glen Beck there is little good in it.

Do people here on the Gamespot forums actually like FOX News?

And if so why?

I think I've read this thread about 50 times before...

Yeah, there's a number of them. But that number is, like, 5. :P

Fox appeals to the right wing. Far as I know, there are many registered republicans in the US.

So I should watch MSNBC and the recycled garbage of CNN, then? No thanks. -Switches back to Fox News.-

do ppl like fox news. for news no. but for the lulz yes 8)

I guess the DailyKos and moveon.org had their weekly meeting, and told their supporters to go out and make a Fox News is bias thread.

not gonna deny that, but couldnt i just as soon say "i like MSNBC and CNN. fox news has a conservative slant"? you arent making an argument.

Fox News satiates the right wing's desire for "biased" news. So of course some people like it.

I have no problem with that (everyone likes it when they hear want they want to hear), they just need to stop with the "fair and balaced" stuff.

No matter how awful you might consider Fox News to be, it's not as bad as the intellectually dishonest, misinformation-propagating idiots at MSNBC.

Why does he have to make an argument? He gave you a reason. Are you going to argue about how he feels? I think that'll be kinda' hard since you aren't him.

i can really only take chris matthews on that channel. hes the only fair pundit left.

I focus more on that Olbermann guy who still blames Bush for everything. Newsflash, he hasnt been in office for over a year.MoonMarvel

I used to like Hardball a lot, until Chris Matthews became a raving loon.

And just so you know I do not really support any news channel I think most of them are garbage.

I just think Fox News is one of the worst especially when their motto "fair and balanced" is completely the opposite of what they do.

BTW did anyone see the hilarious and ironic remark Glen Beck made about the saudi prince Alwaleed Bin Talal.

He made the remark about the US not taking the Prince's 10 million dollar check many years ago and he says it with pride when he forgets the one who accepted the check was Rupert Murdoch the owner of FOX News.

And even more Ironic is that the Prince is second in shareholding only beaten by Rupert Murdoch.

So really Glen Beck just talked some smack about someone who owns a large part of Fox News and he indirectly puts a bad name on Rupert Murdoch without knowing he accepted the check.

I was laughing hard when I saw him make that comment and I was thinking about the situation he would have later with some of the higher ups at FOX News.

I'm sure Glenn* Beck doesn't care. That's the perks of being a millionaire and a celebrity.

Yah but FOX News probably wouldn't let Glen Beck rip on them too much considering that the guy he was ripping about it the top 2nd shareholder and is practically Glen's boss just as much as Rupert is.

And he badmouth's the prince directly and indirectly to Rupert.

How many businesses will allow their employees to make such comments about the company owners?

Olbermann, as well as Chris Matthews and Rachel MadCow. I agree with you and with Communistik. The amount of propaganda on that channel is just disgraceful. I don't understand they don't just donate themselves to the Obama administration...actually, they pretty much have already. When a network's entire prime time programming is dedicated almost exclusively to having intellectually dim-witted commentators hurl insults at another network (Fox News), you know it's time for new ownership and management. I mean, it's not that much of a concern, because MSNBC isn't even really considered a news network anymore, and their competition isn't Fox News or CNN (it's CNN Headline, CNN's backup channel), but it is a little disturbing that people watch it and even more so that they believe it's actually "news."

Not to mention an egotistical maniac...or does he just play one on tv? wolverine4262

He's probably a bit of a showman. I dunno' if he's truly an actor or not. But I won't deny the first part. :P

Glenn Beck wouldn't stay silent if Fox News reprimanded him for something silly. I also doubt he's as uninformed as you seem to make him out to be.

Elephant_Couple

I don't really watch the news from TV anymore. If I find something interesting I will search for varied views on many sources online.

Problem with the internet is that you could find a website to support any viewpoint you had so you need to also look at viewpoints you don't support.

One of the few "kind of like a" news video source is "The Young Turks".

I agree with a lot of what host says and I like his personality and how he presents the news.

I am neither conservative or liberal and I support alot of viewpoints from both sides I wish there were more new sources that would cover both the left and the right with no pull for either side, but I don't see that happening.

Well what he said wasn't silly.

He was badmouthing the owners of FOX News and settings a bad image for them.

And I do think he is uninformed about this issue otherwise he wouldn't have made that remark.

Why? MSNBC isn't any better. In fact, I would rather people become uninformed reading National Enquirer than become uninformed watching MSNBC.

''I say on the air all time, 'if you take what I say as gospel, you're an idiot.'' Glenn Beck

The same exact reason people like MSNBC and Keith Olbermann because people have (are you ready for this?)OPINIONS

Believe it or not, people have differences of opinion.. sSubZerOo
