Ok we all know that Fox news lies and spins all day long every day. Why else is Tony Snow working for the White House now??

Here's a screenshots of some of the lies/propaganda that Fox has told in the past months.

Enjoy.

I guess you and the blogger are trying to be clever.

Unfortunately, most of the screen caps are either ending in a '?' which implies that is the topical question, not a stated fact; or second, captions in paraphrase to commentators expressing their editorial opinion.

The notion that Fox is right wing is the same as saying CNN is left.

And, no, I don't agree with your opening statement.

Whether or not it ends in a "?" is irrelevant in this context. The fact that the subject has been given the dignity of a debate carries the implication that it has some inherent worth. Conjecture gets better ratings than boring straight news anyway, but in Fox's case the conjecture is policy.

In fact, I do… when they crap in my yard and I have been known to pilfer my kids Halloween candy and run riot on my wife's holiday chocolate.

That fact is all the news channels do it… And, no, I am not gonna spend time getting you screen caps from CNN.

Although I'm sure Fox News is not perfect, I trust Fox News to tell the truth compared to ANY other News network. CNN is SO left wing liberal it is sick.

[macintologist]

I like watching Fox News because it is generally more entertaining and I watch TV news to be entertained not to be informed.

It's funny.

The republicans have had to deal with biased media outlets for around 50 years or so, and still have managed to get a bunch of their people elected over Democrats.

Now that there's an alternative to the glaring left-wing bias, the Democrats are scared to death that their stranglehold on ears of the sheeple will make it even harder for them to get elected.

You can go to Media Research Center Home Page - 3/13/2007 7:35:21 AM if you want your screencaps, video clips, etc., showing you how blatantly left leaning the major networks and cable news (save for Fox) have been over the years. Not a peep about it from the left or the mainstream media, because that's how they prefer it. But, when Fox does it, it's unacceptable bias. At the point that some Democrats are apparently afraid of a news network where they will essentially ban them despite the hypocracy of it all, I know I'm dealing with people I'll never want to elect and in my lifetime I've voted for more democrats than republicans.

[stevesnj]

I was watching FOX news and some woman anchor on a financial program had guests saying that if Obama becomes president then the economy and the stock market will crash. I was like...where the hell do they find these wackos??

After seeing this, I definitely prefer Fox News. Much better news.

[red rocket]

FAUX News is a propaganda outlet, prolefeed by retards, for retards.
CNN is a propaganda outlet, shallow and incompetently presented.
Sky News is a propaganda outlet, like The Sun newspaper, except turned into a pseudo news channel.

I'm watching a combination of BBC News 24 and Al Jazeera nowadays. Prolefeed for lefties and terrorist enablers, mostly, but at least they get some actual information, lol.

Not that I don't trust the source or anything, but I tried blowing the images up and can't see the actual dates of the articles. Seeing as there was no shortage of coverage during election day on Fox News, I find the images pasted here to be questionable.

It would not surprise me in the least to find out that the other three screenshots were taken just after election day and the Fox screenshot was taken several days later.

You can see pretty clearly on the fox page that the article under the Rumsfeld firing is that Virginia is still up for grabs.

Either way, this is perhaps one of the most innocent examples of media bias I've seen from these people. That everyone considers this so damning I thinks says more about those people than this jpeg says about the current state of media affairs.

Yeah, but you can see pretty clearly on the USA Today page that "Webb Wins". Either Virginia was still up for grabs or Webb wins. The other three feature Webb on the cover. Which is it and when were the screenshots taken? Can anyone confirm? If they weren't taken at the same time, the comparison is apples and oranges. i.e. Lies and Propaganda.

After all, that is the subject of this thread.

When Fox is accused of fabricating stories of signature forgeries on military documents to slander a candidate during election time, I'll admit Fox is blatantly biased. Some offenses are damning, some are not.

[Taliesin]

And I thought republicans watch Fox-News for pure entertainment, just like democrats like to watch Stewart's daily-show.

The point was that it couldn't have been several days later, which is what you said.

The most obvious (non-shady) conjecture for the difference is that the FOX analysts had yet to call the state, as Macaca had yet to concede.

Well, that's sort of the point I was making. I don't think you need to reach that point to show bias. Blatant bias even. This just isn't one of those cases.

Fair enough. My primary point was that they weren't taken at the same time. To show these as if they were is dishonest and the subject of the thread.

While your use of "Macaca" was the popular partisan talking-point of the time, it's possible that the other outlets called it for Webb prior to his announcement. In fact, showing bias in the other three outlets in this case.

Wait, who did Dan Rather work for again?

Thanks for the history lesson. I used Macaca because MacNN censors me when I type *********.

Which was my freakin' point.

Fox News seems to be the one major US tv news agency that isn't confused about the jihad.

We just don't understand one another subego. You mentioned Fox had yet to call Virginia for Webb instead of saying the other three possibly called it prematurely. Which is how it appears.

Because you had made the claim that the FOX screencap was taken days later.

This is evidence that it could not have been taken days later, as Allen would have already conceded, and hence Virginia would not be listed as undecided.

I didn't make my point about the screencaps not being evidence of bias in that post, I had already made that point earlier.

CNN is the worst off all news agencies. Their news is pure carbage compared to the news from Fox.

McCain heckled by CNN reporter
Sun Apr 01 2007 13:50:38 ET

DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2007�

[BlueSky]

Shame on Michael Ware for calling Bullshit on McCain's bullshit.

“I don't know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in Baghdad.”

If we had had Ware and more like him in 2003...maybe we wouldn't be mired in Iraq now. Maybe if a bullshitter like McCain would stop bullshitting and posing as the next POTUS there'd be no need for someone like Ware to call him out.

I saw that piece on CNN the other day. Ware is stationed in Iraq, lives there day to day and he hears McCain say that one can stroll through neighborhoods that one couldn't previous to the surge...I guess that sort of struck Ware as patently absurd, and seeing how he might know better, I'm inclined to take his word for it...UNLESS McCain can kindly furnish us with some video of him and his wife strolling through the referenced areas in Baghdad.

While it's not a U.S. journalist's style to behave as Ware was reportedly behaving during the live press conference, I welcome it and only wish we had more such "outrageous disrespect" towards these clowns in Washington who are so eager to spoonfeed the press and public. Someone needs to take the spoon out of their hands and jam it up their pretentious, lying, murdering asses.

And to the general topic, Fox Noise is a mouthpiece for the administration. If a reporter from another organization DARES to suspect that the whole story isn't being told and dares to ask questions, they're labeled Liberal. If one takes the spoon out of their mouth to see what was just shoved in their mouth, they're supporting the terrorists. Can you imagine FAUX Noise asking tough questions of the administration? Better yet, can you show me ONE tough question they've ever asked the Bush administration?

How can you actually call FOX Noise a news channel? It seems to me that even the most strident conservative and/or Republican MUST be aware that the network is biased, it's so blindingly obvious. A film was made about it. It's been in the news (the real news). The subject has been discussed ad infinitum in the press and elsewhere, FOX employees and ex-employees have freely acknowledged this and there can be no debate about it. Are FOX viewers so stupid that they need a pre-packaged load of propaganda in order to make up their mind about the world, to think for themselves?

And then someone comes back with "Oh CNN is biased too, there's no difference, everybody does it". BULLSHIT! Everytime a news organization dares to question power (which FOX does NOT do), the Bushites and others scream "liberal terrorist-supporting, soldier-hating, freedom-hating traitors!"

CNN are a bunch of pussies. CNN's bias is about slathering their greedy corporate asses in profits from their commercial sponsors, and that's their bottom line. $$$ first, Cooper Anderson second, news third.

MSNBC, well who the hell cares about MSNBC. Except of course Keith Olbermann, comedian and someone who speaks truth to power. When did Bret Hume speak truth to power? Is he of the opinion there's no need to because power's doin' just fine and will take care of him? FOX makes a mockery of what journalism really is or should be.

John Stewart covered this quite effectively.

[ebuddy]

The kind of "tough questions" many are looking for apparently;

- Why did you lie about WMDs?
- Do you like being a murderous thug?
- How's Haliburton treating you and Dick Cheney?
- Was the massive amounts of oil worth it?
