Jarrett: 'Of Course' Fox News is Biased

[NiceHandTick]

What exactly is the difference with Fox News saying it's Fair and Balanced, and Pravda in the Stalinist era standing for 'Truth'?

[qloey]

Wipe that shitty grin off your face when you're interviewing someone, you bitch.

[p00lman]

Of course MSNBC is biased - except they're not advocating and advertising protests against the government.

Fox News doesn't report news - they're trying to make it.

[gone2cast]

oh i see, that was a paper on her lap...

[superc]

HONESTLY, I don't care who's biased or not. The problem is which News organization DISTORTS THE TRUTH. There's a difference between BIAS and SMEAR DISHONESTY. "Fair and balanced"? "TERRORIST FIST JAB!"

[neutralpundit]

Campbell Brown is irrelevant. She wants to compare pure propaganda to bias. She has a lot of nerve complaining about bias when she's married to a Republican who works for Cluster Fox.

I quit watching CNN about a year ago because Campbell Brown's sappy self-righteousness is all smoke and mirrors to disguise her right-wing bias. Blitzer & Cooper are the same. CNN is a very well disguised right-wing spin machine and not worth my time.

[mongoose63124]

you're a moonbat

[bbburton]

Jarrett doesn't want the public to be informed, she wants the public to swallow Obama's propaganda.

[theygunaHATEME]

IF FOX is lying or manipulating the truth then why hasnt BECK and HANNITY, been fired like DAN RATHER was he lied and manipulated documents about BUSH. IS it posible that this piece of Chicago corrupt trash is the one lying, I bet you NAZIS dont think its POSSIBLE

[COLDB33R]

The issue is not whether FOX or MSNBC are biased - it's whether that bias causes them to distort the news, and publish/broadcast things that they know to be untrue. On that basis I think that FOX loses to MSNBC big-time.

I'd like to try this experiment. Hook Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann up to lie detectors. Then FOX can take any 20 things that KO has said on his show and ask him if he believes it. MSNBC can then do the same to Beck. Who do you think is going to win that game?

[atlanteavila]

Why because MSNBC holds your point of views? Trust me that I can say the same thing about MSNBC but you've got to be kidding me! FOX doesn't lie, they just don't report the things that you want them to NOT report. This is not lying, this is YOU lying to your self to ban a fundamental right of the american people!

[LeeandTree]

Valerie Jarrett...human scumbag...talks like a Leftist-Commie....gotta take from those that have to give to those who wont work...Yet she is a HUGE slumlord. And she knows how to do the Chicago shuffle...just like her Bro Barack...MSNBC makes NO pretext of even trying to be fair...she could not make herself admit it. She is trash, pure and simple! Trash.

[stewart0312]

Why can't she just say that Faux News exists only to promote a Neo-con agenda and should therefore not be taken seriously by anyone?

[j0hnwi11iams]

Beck is perilously close to yelling fire in a crowded theater. Fox isn't just conservative opinion, it is outright distortion and lying.

[maskedphrogg]

Oh please.

When Beck yells, people laugh they don't go running for the exits.

[94fordtaurus]

MSNBC might be considered 'liberal' during primetime. Fox is right-wing blather 24-7.

[pippin333]

"msnbc, cnn, and the networks DO NOT PROMOTE a viewpoint.:

If you really believe that crap, then you are an idiot!

[crazycardude1984]

Well I wont disagree that MSNBC does go wild at times ( remember the teabagging rant), which I thought was very unprofessional and hypocritcal but MSNBC is the lesser of the two evils here. I mean Fox has promoted outright lies in many cases and has a very consistent point of view i.e Liberals are the enemies of mankind. Just do a youtube search and see

[NoleMan007]

This woman is such an idiot. She says Fox is biased, which it probably is, but won't say that left wing blog MSNBC is biased, probably because MSNBC gets their talking points from the white house and is their biggest cheerleader.

[digamejh]

Not biased (which MSNBC is), but spreading distortion and lies. There's a difference.

[NoleMan007]

Please explain.

[jasoncutbirth]

see how quickly she got politically correct when asked about msnbc

[Maplesyrup41]

faux "news" is fucking BLATANTLY BIASED

IF U CANT SEE THAT U R RETARDED

[atlanteavila]

But so is MSNBC and they're not cut off the white house (something that is super illegal and Odumbass as a lawyer from harvard should see this clearly, but he doesn't care). They're blocking the press and the freedom of speech, they say they "distort" the truth, but I've never seen anybody distort the truth more than Obummer and the Democratic Party!

[superc]

Which truth did the "Democratic Party" distort? Plus we're talking about NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, NOT PARTIES. McCain and Palin ran a very distorted DISHONEST smear campaign during the election, all about Ayers, ACORN, and that Obama is a "Muslim", a SMOKER. WTF.

[digamejh]

Well Obama did smoke (and sometimes still does?). He's spoken about it in interviews.

[atlanteavila]

McCain never said he was a muslim, aside from that, it was all TRUE! Plus the democratic party continues to try to slide past us a very liberal and dishonest healthcare plan that forces american tax payers to pay for immoral things such as abortions and at one point we'll be covering euthanasia and eugenics. Number 2 what happened to the nearly 1 trillion dollars of tax payer money they said was of the essence to spend it all quickly? Only like 20% HAS BEEN SPENT! Waiting for election time much?

[superc]

"McCain never said he was a muslim, aside from that, it was all TRUE!" - another brainwashed NeoCon by FOX News. Good job :D

[atlanteavila]

It's easy to sit here and say gibberish, point to me where McCain is saying he's a muslim... Please! otherwise get your poor excuse of a brain with the i.q. of msnbc propaganda out of my fucking face!

[Nddddtek]

Have you watched the news lately about Ayers and ACORN? There was no distortion there. Find a brain cell and get a clue

[superc]

Have I watched the "news"? LOL you mean Fox News's coverage of the fabricated ACORN anomalies - and therefore it's Obama's fault? Those falsified claims be they true or not, are not upon Obama's burden. He's merely a lawyer in one of their cases. Oh and he was get this, a "community organizer" who went to a "Madrassa" who is a "Muslim" and "pals around terrorists". But of course Hannity does not pal around Holocaust deniers and Sarah Palin's ghostwriter is not a Jew bashing anti-black racist. :)

[greyflcn]

Well, as Rachel Maddow pointed out.

Opinion won't ever be separated from news.

The difference being that FOX is actively organizing political movements.

And the other networks are not.

This is what sets FOX asside from other networks.

[Zakdayak]

Yeah, but watch Liberalviewer's vid on this. He'll point out that Maddow's point is valid. There are, however, plenty of other reasons for saying Fox is totally biased, which he has documented.

[greyflcn]

re: Zakdayak

Well that comes into more of a question of "honesty"

Which frankly, no news organization is perfect on.

So even if FOX is rather blatant about ignoring facts/context, or making up their own. Sadly it's less of a clear cut issue than organizing political movements.

[Zakdayak]

Before Fox, nobody distorted facts, made specious arguments FOR a political party. There is no serious arguemnt on this. Just look at, don't take my word for it, at how Fox covered Kurt Vonnegut's death. That kind of thing doesn't happen at MSNBC, CNN, or any other place.

[KataVideo]

what fox did to vonnegut, a guy who wasn't around anymore to defend himself, was disgusting and cowardly.

[Zakdayak]

Yes, I agree, disgusting.

[atlanteavila]

But it was all TRUE!

[KataVideo]

nah, it was just more faux news pussy conservatardism

[atlanteavila]

Yet, you don't want to acknowledge that MSNBC is biased, but biased in the right direction but they're not going to cut their freedom of speech off right? It doesn't matter how biased you are--FOX has every right to air the things they air and are actually doing a good job at it. Are they biased? yes, but is it illegal? NO! Obama acts more and more like a dictator and no one says a damn thing! I thank this news anchor for pressing the dumb obamatard on the issue. This is real journalism!

[Zakdayak]

We're not discussing MSNBC bias. We're discussing Fox bias. This is akin to having to discuss Clinton and everything he did wrong when I'm trying to criticize George W. The only bias I can detect is maybe from two people on MSNBC, Olbermann and Matthews (but Matthews is more centrist than the former) and NOTHING compares to all the dirty tricks at Fox.

[atlanteavila]

I can say the same for FOX O'Reilly and Beck. They're the only true right promoting people in the entire network. But then why not ban MSNBC from the white house? This is total horse shit! You know damn well all of MSNBC is biased and all of most of FOX news is biased--at least FOX allows a couple of people to present the left's side. It's not like Olberman who says "lets talk about abortion right and here with me is the president of planned parenthood and no one to oppose her.. this is a joke!

[Zakdayak]

First of all, the people who were "Liberals" were really moderates. The Right (probably including yourself) does not distinguish between someone Left of center, a Liberal, and a Leftist. And those weak sauce Libs are no longer there. As for "horseshit" who the hell said anything about banning Fox from the Whitehouse?? Olbermann has said that his show is NOT neutral, on purpose, and he is up front and clear that he does it to counter Fox/ Right-wing radio. That alone distinguishes him.

[greyflcn]

re: Zakdayak

And I assume this is the video you were talking about.

greyfalcon. net/ outfoxed

[junkforkaryn]

Cluster Fox PROMOTES a right wing agenda against Obama, the white house, democrats, and progressive liberals. no other station PROMOTES anti-government rallies. the 9/12 anti-government rally PROMOTED by glen beck and Fox is now the subject of a "thank you" resolution by republicans. how much clearer can it get? msnbc, cnn, and the networks DO NOT PROMOTE a viewpoint.

[MooseOfReason]

I love how she dodges Campbell's question about MSNBC.

[superc]

SHe didn't dodge, she did acknowledge that other networks also are biased. The problem is MSNBC DOES NOT PRETEND THAT THEY ARE "FAIR AND BALANCED" UNLIKE OTHER NEWS OUTLETS. THEY ARE BIAS BUT THEY DON'T SAY THEY ARE BALANCED.

[MooseOfReason]

superc, Quote her, then, where she acknowledges that other networks are biased.

[TheFolkUtopia]

Where is all this defense for FOX coming from? I cannot fathom that any journalist of merit would defend that station. I could see TMZ defending them but not these other agencies. I see the MSNBC connection but one only has to watch an "episode" of Glenn Beck to know how far that station will go. Dem's need a back bone and need to straight up quit saving face-and call bullshit bullshit!

[savior02]

notice she didnt answer the question if msnbc is biased..what a dumb bitch you are distorting the truth u dumb bitch

[CarryANationIII]

Look at the childishness of the typical Dittohead/FOX news crowd. First thing they do (after namecalling) is point their fingers at somebody else. They are saying "we're not biased, but if we are so is MSNBC!"

Dittoheads have this delusion image of themselves and don't even realize how completely ignorant they are of what's actually happening in the world.

Why bother reading when you can sit on your fat ass in front of the Idiot Box?

[superc]

The problem with the NeoCon wingnuts is that they don't realize that MSNBC DOES NOT carry a slogan that says "FAIR AND BALANCED". They are BIAS but THEY DON'T PRETEND THAT THEY AREN'T EITHER!

[superc]

Except the "No Bias, No Bull" segment is from CAMPBELL BROWN's NOT MADDOW's.

Research is INDEED a good thing. LOL this is hilarious. NeoCon Implosion at its finest.

[checkurself]

I think she answered the questions rather well for a political figure. Of course, all media is bias. But which is more bias? I don't watch the news with opinions because it's all bias. None are balanced. All can be misleading. It's up to the viewer to discover the truth. There is no such thing as objective journalism. It's hard to be objective since everyone has some sort of bias. No one wants to watch a show that doesn't justify your own views.

[gamoonbat]

The MSM definitely has a conservative bias, as seen by their recent trumpeting of the meme that "the public option is dead."

[danny5534]

stop saying the american people

all these politicians omg

you don't know what the american people want for every little freaking thing...

[ChunAsperEndao]

Campbell Brown:  "But do you think MSNBC is biased? ... Because CNN is desperate to look good by comparison."

[fractalbuddha]

Bias is present in all the news outlets. However, there is a difference between picking out facts that support a biased position, and spouting opinions that support a position. The point is, Fox is supporting their biased position with either blatant opinion or false facts.

[joshpnw]

kudos to Campbell Brown for getting Jarrett to admit that SHE/THEY... Obama's handlers... are biased... in favor of MSNBC.

[TheBeepBeepBeep]

MSNBC = left-biased commentators,with exception of Joe Scarborough. MSNBC has journalists, however, who report the news.

Faux = all right-wing commentators, including their so-called journalists. Faux also has commentators who organize tea-parties against the government--- they are a Republican POLITICAL organization.

[sirfith]

Wow, Jarrett claims the Obama administration is "speaking truth to power".

From the Obama administration that is threatening censorship of anyone who disagrees with them

[jumpoutatree]

What is the threat of censorship? I disagree with Obama on some things, no one is censoring me. So obviously you don't mean anyone.... but, then, what do you mean??

[myxomata]

They didn't threaten censorship. I dare you to find any video where an obama administration official claimed they are going to take ANY legal action against Fox. There isn't one.

[hellshade2]

i have to agree and disagree with this white house advisor. is fox news biased? yes indeed, extremely so. they distort the news and the truth with a rightwing biased agenda BUT all other news channels are also biased. msnbc is clearly biased to the left just not as extreme about it as fox is to the right. cnn is also biased to the status quo. if you watch cnn you notice that they never really favor one side over the other and yet they never ask questions or take anyone to task.

[10thAngel]

You don't see the same popularism and language from the other newschannels though >_>

[myxomata]

I agree with you except that msnbc is biased to the left. only Maddow and Olberman show ANY real leaning toward the left, but Maddow is actually a REAL journalist who asks REAL questions and has conservative guests on her show all the time. MSNBC appears to me overall as not left biased or right biased but basically in the center. There is no mainstream news channel that is left biased as far as I am concerned.

[904HipHop]

Campbell Brown has the lowest rated show on CNN...Man, what happened to CNN?

[Innize]

The interviewer is an idiot, trying to pick out both of CNN's competitors, in order to appear to be the impartial one.

Sure, I'll concede that MSNBC is biased, too, but how does that change the fact that FoxNews is biased? Fox might as well change its name to GOPnews or, more accurately, CorporateApologistNews.

[pauldonald]

who c ares stuff fox

[keithjc22]

Fox is biased, MSNBC is biased, and CNN is boring

[carrierexchange]

Fox New's bullshit is seriously dragging America down

[Mrcharliebobo]

Get a helmet you stupid bastard!

[animeownage86]

We don't have time for the American right to protest. Don't worry let us do whatever we want remember the government loves you...

[AstoundedAtheist]

Wizz! Right over your head...

[KCUAC]

idiot......
