Proof FOX "News" is "unfair," "unbalanced," and "dishonest."
And I am not talking about O'Reilly!

The disingenuous discussion by Chavuto, Humes, Barnes et. al about the coverage of Haditha being more widely covered than the everyday IED killings of US soldiers. This is outrageous! Especially since everytime any news organization reports about US soldiers being killed, the RW media, especially FOX, screams that the MSM only reports "bad news" about soldiers being killed and they fail to report the good news. Now they are complaining that the "liberal media" doesn't report enough about US soldiers being killed. THEY ARE DISHONEST TO THE CORE!!! And the MSM is afraid to challenge them or to set the record straight EXCEPT FOR KEITH. These bastards should be called to taks for their lying, mispresentation, propaganda. It is so bad now that they coming down on all sides of every issue. They don't know WTF to do or say.

3. I was in my bed trying to go to sleep but I had to get up to post on this.
I seldom listen to FOX but I was trying to see if O'Reilly or any of the others had any response to Keith tonight. When I heard Neil make these assertions I nearly fell out of my bed.

2. Fox News just sucks.
Edited on Fri Jun-02-06 12:40 AM by EOO
Every personality on there is either one of the following:

- A corporate shill / empty suit / business criminal asshole (Cavuto, Hume)

- A loudmouthed blowhard who lets more steam out of his ears than a cargo freighter heading to China (O'Reilly, Hannity, John Gibson)

- A marketing representative (Greta Van Sustren, Shepard Smith)

6. Don't forget...the main job for faux news is to
"catapult the propaganda." They've got their fingers in their ears and figure if they say something enough times, that makes it true!

If there was any good news coming out of Iraq it would be on faux, wouldn't it?

Hang in there!

10. Just add it to the pile....
over at MediaMatters. They've been constantly debunking all things FauxNews for years.

I heartily agree with you about exposing their lies. I met a very sweet, charming and intelligent lady last weekend. We were getting along famously when the topic of politics came up. She actually was amazed that I said Faux was nothing more than the Repug Official News Agency. She actually believed that Faux was the "only news people that told the whole story". I was dumbfounded.

11. FEW people watch this bullshit. The MSM is smart to ignore them.
They are like a support group for mental midgets.

12. I've been watching Fox News for years...
Edited on Fri Jun-02-06 07:58 AM by Scoody Boo
but only because they had the drop dead gorgeous Dari Alexander as their prime time news update anchor. Now they have the classically beautiful Harris Faulkner so I stay.

While Dari was not so much bias, Harris Faulkner is a rabid Bush supporter and will stray from the teleprompter when reporting (spinning news involving Bush). She is also a fundamentalist Christian motivational speaker who proudly proclaims to be armed at all times. Says she likes the big bore pistols. .45ACP, .44 Bulldog, .41 Mag.

13. They are still spewing their hypocritical double standard crap.
Now they are highlighting the London raids and saying that the US has gotten lax in their intel operations saying that NYC no longer has police checking cars coming through the tunnel, not many police security on the streets, blah, blah, blah....all this while also criticizing the NYC Congressionals who are complaining about having homeland security funds cut by 40%. The folks at FOX "News" are unconscionable! They lie and mislead so much I don't understand how the FCC allows them to remain on air.

17. The Freeper fasciation with Coulter...
beats the hell outta me. I don't see what the big deal is. They do have an abundance of pretty blondes on Fox though. Meygan Kendall is probably the most gorgeous of that lot.

But Fox has had a black woman as anchor for their Prime Time News Updates for years now. First with Dari Alexander and now Harris Faulkner.

16. Let's be fair to Fox...
They practice what they preach... covering the "good news" instead of the "bad". Why I'm watching live coverage of a kindergarten opening in Birmingham, Alabama right now!!! Oh wait, it's actually a pretty blond white girl strangled with her bikini top that I mistook for a kindergarten opening. My Bad.
