Fox Network And Its History....


Guest Chrissie

Recommended Posts

Fox News Network has a long standing record of Biased news casting. They do not seem to hire individuals because of their Integrity or skill as a journalist. Fox has long been the more sensationalist of the News Networks. Considering things like ethics, objectivity, knowledgeability and integrity to be secondary.

Conservatives Hate Fox because they show too liberal a view point on certain events. Liberals hate Fox because they go out of their way to attack the people making the news... especially GLBT individuals.

The Fox Network is only second to the televangelists in the frenzy which they attack GLBT and other nonconservative individuals. And what is worse is their use of 'pretty'/ 'handsome' individuals who are barely informed and probably never went to a news location without an entourage of 50 people to sit up in someplace where only young people flock to... Like spring breaks.

Their 'experts' rarely look old enough to be out of college for more than a 5 years. And are rarely more informed especially on the subjects on which they are supposed to be expert in... and most times almost as pretty as the hosts.

An Anthropologist to answer a question about being Trans? just because he's a Doctor? If that doesn't scream we put him on because he's a pretty black man... What does?

Seconded.

if anyone didnt know before.. FOX is NOT the place to go for credible news coverage. ANY other station is better for that. Fox is ONLY good for controversial television entertainment. Sadly, this includes any NEWS broadcasts they make and try to pass off as informative.

:mad:

It's good for some laughs I find it. I enjoy watching the Daily Show and the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. Loved how one of the Fox News reporters, Geraldo Rivera, took on the show saying how they only enjoy showing old ladies falling and at the end of the Daily Show on Tuesday they showed him fall. Seriously though, Fox News needs to look into getting some ethics if they ever want to be more than a joke.

Oh but

. :)

(Also look at the pages at 1:37, they're blank! XD)

And of course you've got to : "magine a poor kid getting born into that family" - Bill O' Reilly on the pregnant Man and his family.

And what with the epic lulz about America's next top model. Even more humourous is the fact that the guy on the right is gay.

I disagree with all of you, faux is clearly a credible news source. For shame, without them we wouldn't know of the transgender evil creeping into our society and availing of our freedom of speech or right to procreate.

I don't think Fox is that bad. On most issues I think O'Reilly is right on. And while it is more conservative than most other stations, there are a few liberals there, so it does have some balance.

I am tentatively inclined to agree with you. Earlier in the decade, I watched Bill O'Reilly and Greta Van Susterin almost every weeknight. However, I truly could not stand Hannity and Colmbs because Sean Hannity seems to be fixated on hatred of just about everyone.

Any more, I ignore all of the news channels, and I have noticed that I feel far calmer inside. Besides, I don't need Cnn and Fox News (not to mention ABC, CBS and NBC) since the Internet makes it possible for me to selectively filter the news articles I do look up.

I have a huge dislike for Fox, particularly Ann Coulter. She's not very Canadian friendly.

That said, if I have to get news, I look at a variety of sources: BBC, CBC, NyTimes, CNN, NPR, etc. I have a whole world to search for news and look beyond the borders of where I am. More importantly, I'll read the news and form my *OWN* opinion than be spoon fed someone else's and be told that's the opinion to have.

I agree, Linus.....

I don't know what I'd do without the internet........

Most days I'll go to:

CNN

FOX

BBC

ABC

Al Jazera

Radio Isreal

PBS

I mean, seriously...you have to look at a news item from ALL points of view!

Like General George Patton said during a tank battle with the Germans.....

"Rommel, you magnificent bast***, I read your book!!"

If you get your news from only one source...you've handicapped yourself.....

Look at it from all viewpoints and then YOU DECIDE!!!

Now, I have to go read The Icelandic News...........

'Bye!!!

I find that since William Randolph Hearst 'yellow journalism' has become the norm. If you are too young to remember, that was the term for biased journalism, up until then the norm was to work very hard to present the news in an almost disconected objective fashion. If you want to get a little insight into his life watch the brilliant movie "Citizen Kane" (nominated for an Oscar in almost every catagory - fewer catagories then it no longer holds the record for most), the writing, directing and acting by Orson Welles (26 years old) is fantastic, he brought the radio actors from the Mercury Theater of the Air including Joeseph Cotton and Agnes Moorehead, inovative cinematography that is still being used today and the most important part was being able to avoid getting sued - the major changes, Kane died at the end of the film made in 1941 and Hearst didn't die until 1951 and the hearst mansion in California called San Simeon was set in Florida and called Zanadu.

Here's to the fine tradition of Yellow Journalism, practiced by all!

That's why I watch the Daily Show, at least Jon Stewart admits that he is giving us 'Fake News'!

Love ya,

Sally

Rose Bud! Truly a great movie. Sorry for the lousy ending of Orson Wells life,selling California Wine.

News every where is biased. Sean Hannity gets my blood boiling , but he incessant Bush bashing by Keith Oberman almost makes me feel sorry for the 43rd worst President of the United States.....almost.

Read the Goggle news home page, has leads into the Wall St. Journal, the NYT. Reuters, BBC and a ton more.

Plus there are no commercial breaks that last for six mins. with two mins. of news.

have to confess I love Chris Matthews, he tolerates no fools.

His ever youthful appearance is amazing! FFS possibilities...Mia.

      https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/04/russian-poetry-competition-bans-transgender-applicants/     Everyone in Russia knows that Putin hates LGBT people, so every segment of society gets on board with the Leader's viewpoint, or they risk his wrath.  Sounds a lot like Florida, doesn't it?   Carolyn Marie

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3

      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
