Outfoxed: The Fox News internal memos

[McCullogh]

[camerov7]

If you don't think it happens on the left for the Democrats, then you are naive beyond my poor abilities to enlighten. There's a reason that the press is referred to as "the fourth estate of government." They are an integrated part of one giant system. Fox is only powerful to the extent that it is a dissenting voice from the corporate whores who held a monopoly for so many years.

[compactdisk2]

@JPStrikesBack Nobody is saying that Fox is the only offender, but if you think that Fox isn't seriously worse than most media outlets, you're a moron, and claiming that Fox is a dissenting voice from "corporate whores" is ludicrous. While imperfect, at least most other news channels make an attempt to remain unbiased. It amazes me how so many people seem to think that "fair and balanced" means "never giving any creedence to opinions you disagree with".

[JPStrikesBack]

@compactdisk2 Gotten any documents from Dan Rather lately?

[JPStrikesBack]

What makes anyone think this is "dirt" at all? This is simply the editing process that goes on in all news outfits.

[Lodatzor]

Prove it.

[JPStrikesBack]

It's obvious on its face. Every human being on this planet views the world differently. This is just how the editor sees it. Prove I am wrong.

[hipstermi]

A POSSIBLE not proven view of abortion is "editing" process?

Wouldn't a real news outlet want to report a PROVEN view?

[JPStrikesBack]

What's proven about a view in the first place? It's all subjective. "It's oppression of women to deny them abortion!" "It's murder to perform an abortion." Both are matters of opinion. If you want objectivity, a scientist would look at the DNA and say "Yes, this is a human " or "No this is not a human." The DNA in the cells of a fetus are HUMAN.

[hipstermi]

" What's proven about a view in the first place? It's all subjective."

No it's not. A view can be "I'm against abortion" or "I'm pro choice" That's not "subjective" That memo said to go for an accusation. That's not news, that's not subjective. Call it for what it is...

an accusation, possible lie.

Also you want to know how to make a view NON subjective? You call up the guy in question and say "so what do you think about abortion?"

you are going out of your way to excuse liars?

[baigandine]

@JPStrikesBack The DNA of my skin cells is human. If humankind were just that, it would not be a particularly remarkable species, no more than an amoeba is.

[JPStrikesBack]

@baigandine The point of the discussion thread was scientific objectivity in drawing conclusions. If you don't see a significant difference between an amoeba and a human there's nothing more to say.

[baigandine]

@JPStrikesBack Stage of cognitive development would be another scientifically objective way to draw conclusions. You don't see a lot of difference between humanity and my skin cell, if you think DNA is a good place to draw the line.

[JPStrikesBack]

@baigandine In the normal course of events, the likelihood of your skin cell developing cognitive capacity is zero. With a fetus, it's almost 100% certain.

[baigandine]

@JPStrikesBack What "dog in the race" does a creature without cognitive capacity really have? Why let it develop a cognitive capacity when it doesn't even "want" to? What relevance does "the normal course of things" have to morality, especially as we move into the freaky future of genetics and cloning? Would my clone want to live any less than a fetus? I doubt it.

[JPStrikesBack]

@baigandine Do you know when cognitive capacity comes into existence? A: No. I'm sure you're correct about the clone wanting to live as much as a fetus. They both would. What relevance does an affirmative act, the commission of the abortion procedure, have to morality? But for the intentional interference on the part of whoever commits the abortion, a human life would CONTINUE, not come into existence, CONTINUE.

[baigandine]

@JPStrikesBack It seemed you wanted to make a point about abortion too, because of the way you highlighted the word "HUMAN." My mistake if not.

[thatsmyrail]

I can't believe how a large portion of the American population are so into this bullshit right wing network Fox

[joespeed87]

Fox News+lying to the american peope=bullshit news!!!!!!!

[artiriti]

FOX "news" is a republican propaganda agency!

Don't belive a fucking word their telling you!

[DissentTV]

weazel news

[jimckorn]

This is what happens when you let shinny little "Bubble-headed, Bleach Blond Bimbos" with boney legs and knobby knees run a news channel! They should change the name of Fox News to BBBB News!

[21kpatriot]

This is very disturbing,not unexpected,but disturbing nonetheless.Most assuredly,liberty in this country is under attack in a most diabolical manner as to be more dangerous to the populous than the "terrorists".When a "free"press chooses the TRUTH we're permitted to hear,we are truly in danger as a republic!

[omgangiepants]

ONOES AN AMERICAN WITH A SCARF OVER HIS EYES! SOMEONE ALERT HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH!

*barf*

[Bluebomber4evr]

This is what happens when you let the people who made "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" run a news channel...

[MamaJacqueroo]

@Bluebomber4evr LOL, so true! Fox is such garbage but sadly it is watched by Americans who think it is REALLY NEWS 3 to 1 over other cable news channels. What can the other cable news channels do but counter them with more counter attack crap, though theirs is based on fact, not outright lies like fox is.

[jmegill]

I didn't realize it was so directed....

[bushputz]

FNC keeps a tight reign on their reporters and talking heads because if they don't someone might screw up and actually be fair and balanced instead of 'Fair and Balanced' in their coverage.
