Why Do They Lie? Part X: Think Progess!

If you're going to claim that Fox covered story A more than story B, then you'd better be telling the truth. In this case, Think Progress wasn't.

why didn't you include the total time dedicated to each story and let us decide?

Better is question is why didn't Think Progress include the total time dedicated to each story? They made a charge and provided no evidence whatsoever to support it. They didn't even TELL anyone about all the war reports on Fox, let alone how much they ran. (In terms of minutes, the Georgian war was the most covered story during that Fox News program, though you'd never know it from Think Progress.)

I saw a set of interviews the other morning with some of the protesters. The protesters didn't know jack about anyone in the government. Or any one they were protesting against. I have not been able to find that clip. Any help from anyone?

The problem was that all the MSM including FOX portrayed Russia as the agressor. prime example of media bias in shielding Georgia from responsibility for the carnage is the fact that news outlets like the BBC continue to report that thousands of civilians were killed in Georgia, with the obvious inference being that these are victims of the Russian onslaught. But these victims were not killed in Georgia, they were killed in Ossetia - by Georgian forces. GET IT RIGHT Georgia attacked Russians.

Fox News is a fucking joke.

Actually, Fox has spent far more time on the Edwards non-story than the war in Georgia, or for that matter the war in Iraq. Not one hour can go by without at least a 10 minute report on Edwards.

The economy? Not a candle to a gossip story. Not at Fox.

All of the cable news channels are horrible, but Fox specializes on spin, spin, spin.

Fox reports news that other networks do not. Thus stating that you also state Mr. Canada1812 that they are a gossip tank. Well what they said (Fox) were facts. Facts don't lie. And Fox doesn't lie. MSNBC lies all the time. Do you like them too? 5 stars JohnnyDollar

I already posted a follow up on that. you're a little to late to act pissy about it. Anyways, doesn't matter, this is just some blog vs. blog crap that nobody cares about. Lawl.

Jarrett and Banderas didn't even come on the air on the 10th until 4:00 pm, which is long after the video was put up. Geez. Do you really think I'm going to put up video from some other day when anyone could check it and blow me out of the water? I don't operate that way, and I'm certainly not stupid enough to try even if I did.
