Everyone here seems to be one way in dealing with Fox news. It's funny because they are all the same.

The only good news channels are the local news channels or say, BBC. FOX, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC all stink in one way or another. In short American national news channels suck.

So in your first viewing you determined all of that huh? I find that highly believeable. Yes I do watch FNC. I find that it is a good idea to get your news from many different sources. But it is funny that you mention bias. I find the same issues when I have watched (or tried to watch) MSNBC or CNN. Moreso with MSNBC. I just think it is laughable how it is so trendy to hate on Fox News (especially here in SW), especially when many of the people that hate it have never actually watched it and instead let their political leanings influence what they view.

It's a terrible news service. And NBC and CNN are barely better with there blatant over-sensationalism, especially of late. If I want news I read the Times or go to the BBC.

I watch it regularly, mostly just to see what conservatives are saying about current affairs and what they want to focus on. But I really have a hard time calling it a news network; whenever I turn the channel on all I hear for the most part is conservative talking points, even from many of their alleged news anchors.

I suppose because Fox is the only news siding with republican and everyone else baised toward other side.

from what i can gather, Fox news CLAIMS to be unbiased, while some news sources explicitly say they are providing news with a certain point of view.

News is just a business now, companies behind most major TV news networks only care about making money through ratings or getting an agenda out that benefits them.

Modern racism is not about putting on a white hood and lynching black people. It is much more concealed.

Alright, I don't watch Fox News. From what I've heard, it isn't exactly the pinnacle of ethical journalism by any metric. However, to say that it is racist seems to be just an attempt to bash the institution for the sake of itself.

Racist? How? I watch it sometimes because they do have news on there (Beck is not news, he is commentary).Hemmaroids
Yea, here is an example of a Fox News, Newscast: BRIT HUME: Welcome to Washington. I'm Brit Hume. There was further evidence today that President Bush's days of absorbing John Kerry's attacks without counter-attack are over.

Great Scott, you're on to something Holmes! It's concealed to the point where there is simply no tangible evidence to call it so.

I've seen a few things I've seen on Fox pertaining to race that rubbed me the wrong way, but I definitely wouldn't go as far as to call the whole network racist.

And yeah, it's a garbage news network, but then so is MSNBC. But unlike Fox, MSNBC doesn't seem to have legions of apologists who ae delusional about how fair and balanced it is.

People sure love to exaggerate. It's what satire and parody is all about (even though I love The Onion's frequent jabs at the network).

Opinion. How is Fox News racist, though?

Not really opinion, Fox news bias is well documented in everything from which stories they choose to present to how they present them. Also, are you really interested in discussing racism in America, or are you just looking for an argument?

You thinking of them as "s***" is an opinion.

Are you going to make sweeping generalizations about racissm in America and try and demonize everyone in the process? If not, then proceed.

I have listened to talk radio and watched pretty much all news stations for the last 10 years. Does anyone remember when Bush (W.) was president and Fox News would say things like, "If you are against our President then you are against America" Now they call anyone who supports Obama an un educated socialist. Even today they praise the Tea Party movement but bash the protestors in Wisconsin. They are very biased liars. Entertaining biased liars however.

How does holding up another example of crappy and slanted journalism make Fox any less crappy and slanted?
