Howard Kurtz takes on the Fox News hype machine on The New Black Panther Party - Pt 1

Megyn Kelly smears Bob Schieffer and threatens to cut off Kirsten Powers' mike. All because they don't share Fox News' obsession over the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case. Howard Kurtz looks into it on Reliable Sources.

EYESONFOX When besides the three hour of Glenn, Sean and O Reily does fox not have liberals debating conservatives

[eyesonfox]

@bgdomino Fox News boasts having liberals on but they usually game the system. Far more conservatives are aired than liberals. Panels like on Bret Baier's show or News Watch aren't balanced. Hosts with maybe the exception of Geraldo are conservative, set a conservative tone, pick conservative topics, often ask loaded questions of liberals, and frequently don't give liberals even treatment. With the exception of Shep, their news isn't very balanced. Overall, Fox News' news isn't very good.

ABC, . CBS, . NBC, . CNN Headline, . CNN, . MSNBC, . NPR, . PBS, . BET, . VH1, . MTV, . and The Comedy Channel are all liberal, and are ALL supporting Obama. . . . . . . . . . . . but liberals say FOX isn't fair, because only some of the people at FOX support him. . . . . Left wingers really are mentally ill.

@Dajuro You bitch that I don't think Fox News is "fair." So here's some questions for you. If Fox is "fair and balanced" as they claim how much further to the right would they have to move before you considered them conservatively biased? How many more right-wing pundits would they need to head up shows? Pretty much all they report is stories critical of Obama and trashing liberals. How much more vicious and obsessive would they need to become?

Sooo.....CNN's hour long "Shirley Sherrod" mini-movie that they showed over and over and over this past weekend.....that story wasn't being "pushed" out there? I always love it when the pot calls the kettle black. Too funny.

[eyesonfox]

@cano21 Perhaps when they run it 51 times like Fox News has in their orgy of right-wing 'fear the black man' stories you'll have a point.

[MrCope456]

Why do black people insist on defending other black people no matter how horribly they behave? I mean, when was the last time Jesse Jackson said anything against another black who was a criminal? I know its a rare thing for a black person to commit a crime (you hardly see any blacks in prison), but you'd think ole Jesse might say a word or two about it.

@eyesonfox .....fox news is wholly supported by viewers of cable tv(capitalism)....ABC, CBS, and NBC are free broadcasts, and are bleeding progressives(Socialism).....wa­ke-up, and quit arguing the obvious.

[Fridaey13txhOktober]

It is true Fox isn´t fair on "liberals" and captain O, mererly too damn soft if anything.

[bgdomino]

@eyesonfox At least they provide an opposing opinion unlike msnbc and cnn and abc and cbs and the list goes on and on, the fact is you will never give them credit because they rule the tv ratings, Your name says it all, you think you can convince when you are so bias. And yes the are very good!!! Tell me what you think is good news, let me guess The BBC!!

fox news race baiters

BABABOOEY! BABABOOOEY!!!! BABABOOOOEY!!!!! HOWARD STERN'S PENIS!!!!

[genie0390]

Schieffer says that the Black Panther story hasn't been in the news much! how true that is! It's not relevant, BUT every aspect of Sarah Palin IS,..her hair, her clothes, her children ALL are relevant

there IS a new sheriff in town, O'Reilly will soon nail all the liberal assholes and jail them!

you progressive loons keep drinking jugs of that Kool Aid, it ain't going to help the biased pricks at NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN ,MSNBC

BTW, the FCC just ordered CBS to drop the "C"

[genie0390]

Bob Schieffer is a fucking liberal FART! Stories that diminish the Dems, he doesn't know about, only stuff that helps Dems are relevant!

example, he admits that one section Arizona Law prohibits profiling, another section allows for direst action against illegals (which just happens to be the part that mirrors fed Law)

HOWEVER, this biased liberal bastard that has been skewing and managing the news for decades, somehow doesn't mention the section favoring Arizona

Fox is right on the money
