The main problem here is that Fox News Channel's fucking MOTTO is fair and balanced, when clearly they aren't. MSNBC is obviously biased towards the left, but "The Place for Politics" doesn't really shout that they are fair and unbiased the way that Fox tries to do. They need to change their name, slogan, or be sued for false advertising.
they bashed the hell out of obama during the campaign compared to mccain but now, as someone who voted for obama and seeing how he is handling things, I wished they would've done more!
IntAdd, there's a big difference between a madrassa (religion all the time) & a public school for Muslims in Indonesia, a state that (regrettably) does not separate religion & state. The current principal of Obama's old school stated that in addition to the secular subjects, kids get something like a class a week om religion. Also, I'm not concerned how a minor child's religion is recorded so as to get him into a desired public school.
Probably Obama had in mind Fox having made haste to slime him as having attended a madrassa in Indonesia--which was not a madrassa but a public school.
look up the tuskegee experiments, then tell me if you wouldnt be mad if you were a black man in this country. its the truth, and you man not be able to deal with it. if that isnt evil, then you are just a programmed sheep.
Last time i checked the catholic church does not promote propaganda about killing whites and about how terrible the white communities are(as his rev. does)
It's not so much that fox is biased, because thier mostsly conservatives who spout opinions so thats just how it is.
The problem with FNC is that you think your getting the nes when your getting opinion. They blur the line and hence people think opinions are fact.
Nothing wrong with FNC, they just shouldnt call themselves a 'News channel' They don't report enough news to qualify for that. What about FOX Tabloid TV - Or "FOX NEWS CHAT" (FNC!)
I would agree with you to an extent. Any major news network is bias in either direction or in MSNBC's case towards the company that owns them to further it's contracts abroad *cough* *GE*.
It just so happens however that the vast majority of networks are left leaning or completely left altogether. They cram their so called "truth" down the public's collective throat, while oddly enough Foz has the highest cable ratings in news.
the difference is that fox news promotes ie. sarah palins book, john mccains campaing, and glenn becks 912 project, and hannitys freedom concert. there is a difference between reporting and promoting, very simple
@JMehrman Okay think about this for a second: Why do you think that Fox News has the highest ratings? Because more people in America agree with their opinions? No. It's largely accepted (by people with brains) that Fox News is biased towards the Right, and that ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and to a lesser extent CNN are biased towards the Left. So that means that Liberals have 3-4 networks to go to, Conservatives only have one. It makes total sense for them to have higher ratings.
@JMehrman For anyone to claim that FNC's ratings are an affirmation of the public being generally Conservative, 1) They would have to have higher ratings than MSNBC, ABC, and CBS COMBINED, and 2) the Republicans would have had to not get totally slaughtered last election.
I think the blurring of fact and opinion isn't just exclusive to FNC, I guess I should have not implied that, however From what I can gather Fox do deliver more non-news and opinion than facts. They don't even have a full 1/2 hour dedicated to just reporting world and national events. Rather it's drammed into a 2 minute report and then the anchors go about spinning and supposidily anazing thier favortie hot topics of the day. In all fairness to CNN and MSNBC they dpend less time doing this.
I shuld also point out, We get the full American version of FOX in the Uk, but CNN is a European version. Not sure how different our version of MSNBC is to yours, but it's so dull whatever the case!
Who said Benjamin was a jewish name? It has nothing to do with his name. Its because of his actions and his history that I think at one time he may have been a muslim. I don't think he is arab that was just a joke. I am not a crazy right-winger.
It is Jewish, or at least of hebrew origin It means 'of the right hand'
I don't see that cinnction with his history, but then I don't care about a persons religion. My point remains the same, because lets face it people are homimg in on the muslims connection because of what they see on face value, and that includes his rather ethnic name.
@JohnRhysMusician Okay, you're just a fucking moron. For one, do you know what an "Arab" is? For him to be an Arab, he would have to have one or more parents that is of ARAB descent, as in someone from the MIDDLE EAST. His father was a black African (Not Arab), and his mother was white (not Arab). If you're going to try to be a racist douche, at least learn the difference between race, ethnicity, nationality, and religion.
s10129107is correct. and so what if he was muslim does religionlead a country no should all jews hate christians becauseof what hitler did to them? why iseveryone having an irrational allnosensical fear of islam and of muslims? yeah some terrorists were muslim doesn't make every muslim a terrorist. many evil leaders ,dictators,and terrosrists fit the blonde hair blue eye christain categroy but u dont hear anyone saying anything about the christians.idk ithought weleft racsism behind in the 50's
I was being sarcastic u dumbass piece of shit. No, Bush getting into Yale was because of cronies, Barack actually EARNED it dumbass. Can't wait till a Democratic President this year cleans out pieces of Republican shit like you in Congress. They'll have to retire the Republican party to the Smithsonian.
it was a multi-denominational school. even so a little culture never hurt anybody. he had a little exposure to islam, doesnt make him evil; doesnt make him muslim. what is with this irrational fear of any association whatsoever with Islam? He is clearly Christian and was never muslim.
lets be clear here obama is a long legged mack daddy and he will bring jihad and demand all american and jewish passports to the captain of the plane ..... but dont worry Chuck Norris will come and save everyone .. god bless america
We all know Fox News is Fixed, Bill Hemmer is the only fair and balanced person on that network, he was talking about Hannity, Doocy and Carlson they are all in the pocket of Mccain. Right Johnny Dullard
a terrorist fist bump anyone? or how about fox reporting the story that he went to a maddrasa as a kid. sorry fox i ain't buying and u shore wern't so easy about a lack of experience when it came to obama as you have with palin (just shows what being white and a republican can do)
Terrorist Fist Bump was from Human Events and Time Mag. That is why Fox said "Some say..." The fact that they didn't defend themselves very well doesn't change the fact that they didn't make it up
Hemmer always talks shit and the appologizes....lightweight.
