Fox News and Crap: What's the Difference?

[bub2631]

Who thinks Fox News is full of crap?

[bub2631]

MSNBC is Liberal but Fox News is Republican...Big Difference...Also, MSNBC doesn't knowingly lie to support their agenda.  Case closed....

Dude they are all biased... FOX just a little more than the others...

MSNBC is very liberal on their viewpoints, but Fox News takes the cake on "mistakes". It shoves conservatism so much further into 'extremism' it's laughable. Youtube has a ton of videos about how Fox tilts the news in republicans favor-- all legitimate claims too. Their main claim is that every other news source out there is left-wing and that they're the only legitimate right-wing news source.This is why they're so popular. They usually edit important details out of their reports. People should seriously start calling Fox News "The Yellow Journalism Channel" but I doubt that would catch on...

The best part about this is recently even the White House called Fox News "not real news" and "a wing of the Republican Party" (search White House vs. Fox News) and officials have excluded Fox out of their interviews. I'd venture to say it's the worst massive news source out there and it's history of accuracy is laughable. Change your channels, people.

Its more reliable than other news networks.

People are so used to hearing the left-wing extremism as shown on CNN among others. Remember that fake letter CBS made up to try to claim Bush was never in the army...until people realized the font wasn't invented for 15 more years...

They are all biased, but I like Fox, just make sure to check fox's facts before running around telling everyone something you heard from them.

I remember when Bush was president and everyone would always claim that Fox was the biased liberal channel out there. Always there to just bash Bush.. Now they Bash Obama and they are the Rightwing channel

[lancenweman1978]

80% of the news reported is crap so there is no difference.

The only news I really ENJOY listening to comes from NPR, PRI, WMUB international.

Some articles in the newspaper are ok, so long as I don't get the feeling that the articles are to biased.

I am not saying that is it right or wrong to report from specific viewpoints, but I personally like to make up my own mind, not digest regurgitated opinions and distorted facts in favor of the reporting medium.

They definitely have an agenda and report one-sided.  I refuse to watch FOX news if I have to watch news at all.

[dreamyxo]

I can't stand Fox either.

I don't recall anyone saying Fox was liberal during Bush's terms.

Fox News is one reason why I'm glad I don't have cable TV. FN is a toxic force in our country, and I refuse to subsidize it in any way.

Well it was pretty common for anyone who Bash'ed Bush in office to be called Liberal. Fox News did its share of Bush Bashing for a while (maybe rightfully so) and they were considered Liberal. The same happened with the tea parties, when the tea parties were around a few years ago (took off after Ron Paul campaign) they claimed the Tea Party protesters were all Liberals who just hated Bush. Now the news claims the tea parties are all about Republicans and Right Wing Conservative... The fact is, the tea parties are about the taxes! not ANY political party... yet the media spins it so that now they are conservative racists who hate Obama's policy and like to overuse the word "socialism" sure those types are out there... but they are a minority. Before they were called conspiracy theorists, leftwing nutjobs etc. I saw an article today on CNN that even claimed that the Tea parties were created and started when Obama took office.. which is of course completely fabricated as you can even find tea party protests in 2008, 2007 etc. which were covering the very same topics (federal reserve, taxation etc.).

Fox News has never bashed Bush on anything? your kidding right? he had sooooo many things to be bashed on, and you truly believe that Fox never once took the opportunity? when did Fox become honest and unlike every other media outlet? hehe they all bash everyone they can! Including Bush, and Obama. Of course they all are biased one way or another, the truth of the matter is Liberal and Conservative arent even real... many democrats are more conservative than republicans and vice versa. its about the issues, and certain points of debate, not about being left or right... its more about being right or wrong. Fox is all about ratings, and while they bash everyone in politics as well, they are always sure not to cover any of the REAL issues... they will portray tea parties as racist groups of republicans, and not talk about the federal reserv and the REAL reason they are there.. They will talk about the war and portray it as a necessary evil... Some will say its necessary for republican reasons, some will say its necessary for democratic reasons... both just support an agenda and wrap it in a different package. Fox is not Liberal or Conservative, it is run by Rupert Murdoch who is all for corporatism and the agenda is to NOT report the truth, instead focus on Tiger Woods, while the biggest fraud discovered since Watergate goes almost unmentioned, except to downplay it (talking about what is being called climate-gate)

Do you have any specifics (youtube videos of news casts, news articles from Fox, etc.)?  There's no doubt that they've criticized or questioned Bush in the past, but everything I ever saw on Fox was pretty far from being considered "liberal."
