Outfoxed: Fox's effect on the news business

[shaund1970]

Murdoch is Australian, fuck him and his cronies, I'm ashamed to be from the same country as this criminal, he's a crook and should be behind bars.

the problem is man is an idoit that believes it is intelligent.

Media espeically American media has always sacificed the truth for a good story.

if no one reads your paper, you don't make money, you don't make money, no paper, so you got to hype it up, so people will buy your paper, and facts just gets in the road of a good story.

then you have the owner's opinion and interest, they are not going to shoot themselves in the foot.

now it down to a few, now it is a big problem

The problem is not just biased news but media globalization and corporate control of media. Murdoch is a media thug who pushes an agenda at the expense of accurate journalism. We all have opinions but those with money can buy as many global networks as they please and pump theirs down your throat.

It's not just Fox.

Time magazine maybe, I'm not so sure

The matrix has us it's every fucking thing around us. Or maybe I'm smoking to much crack.

lets split the difference and just call you a druggie with a hunch

[ronheri]

All of the main-stream news outlets are owned and controlled by the rich and powerful corporations. Fox is just the worst of that propaganda mob. If it were'nt for the internet, we have no source to go to for unbiased truth.

and funny I like turtles news

[Dariovich]

@ronheri Thats always truth man, it works the same everywhere. You get the truth from foreign news agency. Im mexican and we live the same hell with our goverment and our news agencies

[Gerken126]

I have read articles, such as Bill Dedman's article on MSNBC, which talks about how all news organizations have employees that give money to politicians. As much as I would love to bash Fox News for having an extremely biased view on politics, the truth is that all news organizations are biased in some way, shape, or form. I think it's our job as viewers to decide for ourselves what is true, and then be open to opposing viewpoints and intelligent discussion.

[ttiiyy]

@Gerken126 Amen!

[bushputz]

Balanced? Get real.

You know what happens if everything gets shifted to one side in a washing machine?

It puts out a hell of a lot of noise during the spin cycle.

Time to take Faux News and hang 'em out to dry.

[brianjcavanaugh]

"You know what happens if everything gets shifted to one side"

So FNC is biased to one side, but CNN, BBC, NBC, etc. are not? Who are you trying to fool?

[pchcruzer]

First of all, Bushputz did say that CNN, BCC and NBC were not on the list, you added that,,, seems like you got some of that Fox propaganda in you there buddy.

[potz555]

Fox wouldnt be so biased if people didnt react to it and watch it, the only way to outfox fox is for people to smarten up

[dejahthoris]

TV nEWS RATINGS ARE NOT REALLY a indicator of where people get their news because many of the more discerning and the younger people get news online or from newspapers. I would never watch american tv news.

[brianjcavanaugh]

"TV nEWS RATINGS ARE NOT REALLY a indicator of where people get their news because many of the more discerning and the younger people get news online or from newspapers."

Your assertion makes no sense. You say ratings don't tell us where "people" get their news because "discerning" people read newspapers. One has nothing to do with the other. Ratings show what the majority watch, not what "discerning" people watch.

Why would a proper "News Organisation" want to outfox FOX? Long live the BBC!
