1. Behind the scenes is very different
than coming out in the public with this type of thing. What a waste of time to be discussing FOX imo.

I'm sure every administration has had it's favorites and non favorite news organization.

5. Are you calling Fox News a news organization?
Because that's the real issue here; are they a legitimate news organization or, like Pravda, the propaganda arm of a political party?

7. Yes I am.
They are a cable news organization that has a large number of conservative commentating programs. Not that I won't agree that when they report "news" they do slant it...but other than CSPAN, there isn't a true "news organization" out there if you use a slant or bias as a determining factor to declassify FOX.

21. Fox went to court so they could legally lie and call it news.

12. of course we should be talking about Fox...
Edited on Mon Oct-19-09 12:16 PM by winyanstaz
and revoking their license too. They are criminal in their behavior and by advocating racism, revolution and violence they are undermining America at a very critical time. Lies and spin are NOT news.
Bush and co made this mess and Fox news is hindering the Obama administration from getting it cleaned up. Shame on them.
Why does Fox news hate America?

2. If FOX wants to be a news organization then they should behave like one.
Press credentials are suppose to go to the press not tabloids or pretenders.

9. THe Obama administration can freeze out whoever they want. The problem is
that they need to stop calling out Fox by name. They only end up diving up Fox's ratings.

17. They misquoted Newsweek. Newsweek called Fox News itself "un-American"
not the WH's criticism of it. Typical Fox News lying spin.




The O’Garbage Factor
Fox News isn't just bad. It's un-American.

18. Does anybody realize MSNBC is only "Liberal" for 3 or 4 hours a day?
Edited on Mon Oct-19-09 02:23 PM by emulatorloo
not counting reruns? Most of the day it seems slanted right, with a couple moments here and there.

Additionally it is worth noting that MSNBC's "Liberal" shows can survive a fact check. Not much of fox's programming can/

19. Nazi propaganda = Fox News
The Nobel commission gave President Obama the Peace Prize to cause Pox (deliberate typo) News viewers convulsions.
Anyone taking Republican propaganda seriously should have their driving privileges revoked. The mentally unstable should not operate anything more complicated than a vacuum cleaner, and that would be under strict supervision.
