When will everyone at Fox "News" be fired
for constantly lying to the American public? Where is their freaking accountability?

2. The more e-mails we send to FOX & their sponsors
the worse they will get. They're over the edge of credibility, just needing a harder push.

4. Their accountability is to Rupert and his large pile. They have to
maintain that pile and make it grow. If they don't, they'll be fired, because Rupert's accounts say so.

5. Fox News
No one will be fired at Fox News until they stop attracting viewers. Obviously what they have is what people want to watch, and as long as it draws advertisers and makes money, it will just keep rolling on.

6. Yeah, but using forged documents?
I mean, this thing at CBS wasn't even close. Rather should probably have been fired.

10. um how about this for a REAL scanda?
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 09:43 PM by Skittles
because remember, that bastard Bush WAS AWOL from the Guard

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050111/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_commentator

and what do you mean it wasn't "even close"? FOX is a propaganda arm for the White House and you don't find that the least bit disturbning?

7. Not one of them had to leave when they lied about the Clinton exit
from the White House and Air Force One. They exaggerated and lied about the story and none of them were reprimanded.

15. Karl Cameron wasn't fired
when he made up and falsely attributed quotes to John Kerry:

"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Kerry said Friday.

"It's about the Supreme Court. Women should like me! I do manicures," Kerry said.

"I'm metrosexual — he's a cowboy," the Democratic candidate said of himself and his opponent.

17. Actually they're ratings aren't that much higher than other's.
The right wing media wants you to believe that.

18. Not for main stream; Faux Moos can't even come close
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 11:50 PM by LynnTheDem
Fox's flagship news show, Special Report with Brit Hume, gets a million viewers on a good night-a few thousand more than the local newscast of New York City's WNBC.

The O'Reilly Factor is the best-rated show on Fox, with about 2 million viewers a night.

CBS Evening News, the least-watched broadcast network evening news show, routinely gets four or five times as big an audience, and that's seen as a ratings disaster.

If it's true that news can be put into two categories--Fox and everything else--then when Special Report w Hume airs, everything else beats Fox by at least 30 to one.

But Faux Moos is DAMN GOOD at MISINFORMING 80% of their viewers!

19. When thier ratings drop
But DUers are probably contributing to Fox's ratings. I don't know how many times I have reading a posting from an outraged Duer about the most recent outrage they have seen on Fox.

20. They have none as they are a funded RW lovechild
Ruppert Murdoch lost money on Fucks News for years, but he poured money into it to keep the propaganda weeds well watered. Those weeds are there for harvest now, the product is politically brain-dead sheeple. Just like AM radio. Does anyone believe the "sponsors" pay Rushblows fat salary? I don't. That's why we used to have 90% tax brackets, nobody actually paid them unless they won something. But it kept RW rich assholes from controlling all our news ,as they didn't have unlimited funding for propaganda and well-parsed lies.
