...very "grumpy" to expose something like this. Might cost the female vote.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Fox news....the news source that said of the BP disaster: "I don't see any oil on the coasts!" to suggest there may not actually be a spill.

Those who watch Fox News don't tune in  for 'News', they watch Fox News to view programing that agrees with their politics... and Fox delivers that product.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Congratulations boxy! Same reason why people watch CNN...duh! And that is why some people watch certain programs on tv or listen to certain music on radio stations, magazines, newspapers and even porn. That just the way it is boxy. I believe it's called 'choice'!

If you can't dispute the facts discredit the source.

It's the same old lame excuse... "The Liberal Media"...
There is "liberal media"... MSNBC has a liberal slant.  But what Foxies contend,  is that ALL media, except Fox,  is liberal.  That's ridiculous!  Fox is the "Republican Broadcasting Company", and barely hides that fact.

I watch and read a host of different sources for News (including Fox).  I can find a different perspective for any news story if I look to different sources, but that doesn't mean those sources are biased, just reporting the facts from a different perspective.

To use only one source for news (such as Fox and it's print clones), gives you ONE VIEW of the facts... the Conservative view.   Why limit yourself to a Conservative or a Liberal slant... why not look to several views of the same story and determine for yourself what the truth actually is.  
Quoting Fox is like quoting Olberman, or Rush... it's a very distorted view.

So boxy, are you saying that this census worker was set up by FOX and it is a lie?

I have no idea if this story is true or bogus, and that was not my point...

If you watch the news on Fox, you are watching through a biased prism that sometimes reports the facts, but in a way that implies another motive or puts an exceptional emphasis on a trivial or unrelated fact...

~this census worker is 'unidentified'...
~the report is not shown...
~the day before a jobs report, this census worker will discredit  jobs numbers even before they are announced...
No matter what comes out in any jobs announcement in the future... Fox already has a story to discredit it.
Fair and balanced... hardly.

Fox relies on the Conservative belief of CONSPIRACY... if you just point in a direction, a large group of it's viewers who are already prone to conspiracy paranoia, will accept any innuendo as proof.

There is NEWS and there is political commentary... Fox is short on one and long on the other, and often confuses the two.

You've just provided a great example of Fox News Bias...
Are you sure of the statement as quoted??? Or just something you've heard on Fox???

Fox... the best ratings "ON CABLE"... but for some reason Foxies seem to miss the "ON CABLE" part of the message... It isn't a lie... but Fox sure did deceive you!

Here is a copy of my post from May24th:
Just to be clear... Fox is #1 on CABLE... Not overall News Programing... although Fox News's loyal believers seldom make this distinction when they quote "Fox Is #1!"

Broadcast News always beats Fox News by a huge margin.

     Total Viewers       Adults 25-54  
              
ABC      7,320,000      1.7/7;  2,080,000      
NBC      7,910,000      1.9/8;  2,380,000      
CBS      5,570,000      1.4/6;  1,700,000      

Source: The Nielsen Company, NTI Total Viewers and Adults 25-54 Live + SD weeks of 5/10/10, 5/3/10 & 5/11/09

Fox News Chanel  – 1,243,000 viewers (Cable News Daily Ratings for May 19, 2010- The Nielsen Company)

Even 3rd place CBS has 4times more viewers than Fox News.
"more viewers than the rest of the media combined" Not Even Close! But the Fox Propaganda worked on YOU!

I think we can agree that all that matters to ALL media outlets are ratings and sales!!! It's all about the money!!!!!!!!

And to quote Benjamin Franklin.............. ''Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see''.
