Fox Network And Its History....

[Guest Chrissie]

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.

I second that, unfortunately alot of people believe in all the stuff these people say.

Isn't fox news the station that has Bill O'Reilly? Ugh, I hate that station. Especially with it's bias towards GLBT people.

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,

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.
