I tend to avoid American news when I can but I still see them pretty often. FOX is pretty bad with the bias though, certainly worse than CNN. When they're actually talking about something non-political they can be alright but the second politics comes up it just gets sad. I don't get why people would want to watch a news channel bias in their political favour though. Isn't that kind of counter intuitive to making informed choices? Ace6301

Is Colmes even on Fox News Channel? I think he only has a radio show.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] Bill O'Reilly is probably the biggest hypocrite on television. I know Fox gets a lot of cliched hating most of the time, but anything critical of Bill is perfectly justified. He has zero integrity. Ninja-Hippo

Yeah, I don't think Ann Coulter is serious most of the time. She's just trying to grab attention/stir up the pot.

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

And if so why?

They got that story from the eco-enquirer here: http://www.ecoenquirer.com/south-pole-tragedy.htm

It's odd that they would take the story from the ecoenquirer, the same website that has links to 'floating islands', 'court orders fisherman to apologize to eagle', 'weather wars and area 51' and so on while on their discplaimer it states "All content on this site, being a mixture of parody, satire, and lame humor, is for entertainment purposes only."

Unfortunately they've since taken the story down but it was run as a news story by FOX on March 29, 2010. More info here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/freeze.asp

That's unfortunate for your argument that she's a racist, since Muslim is not a race.

What liberal bias does CNN have at all? I always think that the political spectrum is extremely swayed in this country.

Perhaps a joke...as you said earlier...she's not serious or something along those lines..plus...muslim isn't a race..

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] Never mind uhm sure, it's absolutely true and not even difficult to prove. Heck, she referred to muslims in a speech as 'ragheads'. She's a disgrace. Ninja-Hippo

Perhaps a joke...as you said earlier...she's not serious or something along those lines..plus...muslim isn't a race..

Not IMO...raghead was probably in reference to terrorists..or those making terrorist threats..

Fox is right, Msnbc/NBC are left and CNN is Center with a little left sway(but is the most reliable)Person0

Agreed.

She also says things like:

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."

Only if she's actually serious about what she says, which she almost never is. She doesn't really ever talk without using massive hyperbole and thick sarcasm.

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

Meh MSNBC is crap but Fox News is worse.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] Ooh let's not start nit picking over what technically racism is. :roll: It was not a joke. It was in a speech. She referred to muslims as ragheads. 'If a raghead wants to talk tough, the raghead will have to face consequences.' She is a sick woman. SgtKevali

Not IMO...raghead was probably in reference to terrorists..or those making terrorist threats..

If you're going to quote, you should provide links. And if you're going to provide links, you should make sure they explain the context of the quote. Most quotes by Ann Coulter are taken completely out of context.

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.

There you go.

[QUOTE="Hakkai007"]

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?

OMG read my posts...I said I am neither liberal or conservative I support a lot of viewpoints from both sides.

Not liking FOX News makes me a liberal democrat?

Sorry but I am an independent.

Not sure about the first one but the gay mcdonalds one can be found on youtube with a simple search.

A link from one of the few new sources I do like to watch.

It would do you well to get information and viewpoints from a variety of sources, however. Especially if what you do get comes from something like Fox News or MSNBC rather than CNN or the BBC.mattbbpl

Okay, Dad.

I watch Fox News, and I get my dose of liberalism by coming to OT. I'm pretty balanced.

All joking aside, I don't only watch or read Fox News. But being a conservative I will, of course, watch things with a conservative bias.

The other problem I have with Fox is their heavy bias against Atheists as if we have tails and horns and are children of the devil.

Yes Fox is not the only culprit of bigotry but they are one of the most well known and vocal ones.

Although on Rare occasions a host on one of the shows on Fox News will say something I agree with.

My grandparents like Fox News............

That only happened over the last couple of days, and it's been written about in a couple of newspapers. :| It's not his responsibility to go digging things up for you, if you want to read up about it i'm sure you know the way to Google.

As for the baseball thing, here. He basically flips out because they have a gay couples day but *gasp* straight families are in too, and they're giving away free hats to KIDS. That means KIDS will have to see GAYS. :roll:

Thank god for the one or two parents who say they have no problem with it and, to quote one wonderful parent, 'they have just as much right to be here as anyone else.'

The real kicker from Bill:

'This would never have happened in America 10 years ago.'

Oh and 'Disney started this whole gay thing by doing a promotion and now lots of places do it. So now before you go anywhere make sure you check your local listings.'

Because GOD FORBID you run into some gay people....

Oh and one last thing, he said Dumbledore being gay in the Harry Potter books was trying to indoctrinate kids. A guy points out 'i'm pretty sure you can't indoctrinate someone into being gay to which Bill says 'yes but you can indoctrinate them into tolerating it...'

He's a homophobe, in other words. :P
