for all the bullshit FoX puts out their "news"station they should be removed from the air. News is supposed to be informative, not 4 people working at FOX shoving their personal opinion down your throat.

thumbs up if you agree

Yes I have wondered often how people can think these things and the only conclusion that makes any sense to me at all is that they don't really believe those things. They are saying them because they are the opposition so they are supposed to oppose. Obama has lots of policies that could be sensibly opposed but they don't mention them because they themselves agree with Obama's conservatism, so they have to make up things to disagree with, to keep the movie going.

While I agree that mediamatters ain't lying here. Fox clearly is.

I must say it is nonsense to say they can't by simply putting up clips.

The context of what's being said can matter. not that the clips were out of context. Just noting that it could be if they were so inclined.

It's one of the things foxnews does all the time. Quotemining. Taking the quote out of context, or leaving out an important part etc etc.

@splicedenergy I meant that all news agencies distort the truth to some degree. Media Matters is good in that it exposes the falsehood coming from the right, but what about the left?

[splicedenergy]

@EnslavedAndOppressed Media matters doesn't lie. They can't. Putting clips up on a website without any type of commentary or presentation makes it impossible to lie. There's no one to blame but those in the clips. Go to the site so you can understand why it is impossible.

@therealbillbeatty No. Fox was created by Roger Ailes and President Nixon. It was called "put the gop on tv". It didn't arise out of the depths because of liberal bias. Back then there was 0 bias. The initiative of putting the gop on tv was to insert bias. No other reason.

@Elipticle Alex Jones is a NWO schill. Just ask William Cooper. Aka the real deal. Obama paid the legal fees associated with the campaign just like all the other candidates have and will. It had nothing to do with the BC because it was released during the campaign. The long form isn't even a document you can use at any official office for identification. The president had nothing to do with fast and furious. What his subordinates do and don't do are not typically authorized by him.

obama is a racist pig. look at the obama thugs van jones, rev wright, and eric "my people" holder

@Infamous288 msnbc does the same thing

[Elipticle]

People like Hannity and Rush and Glenn Beck are exposing the truth but they've got the spin on it to make you not worry about it. Alex Jones is more real then them But seriously why would Obama spend 2 million in lawsuits to stop the release of his birth certificate, thats a red flag right there. And its admitted in white house memos that Obamas "Fast and Furious" Gun running operation is being used to blame the 2nd Amendment. Its all admitted All you have to do is look it up...
