I wish. Fox news need to sway people to their viewpoint, and what better way than to lie to a bunch of pissed off rednecks?orangebandguy said:I fail to see how free healthcare is BAD. Maybe there's some crazy logic behind that I don't know.

Yes because Fox are NEVER biased and ALWAYS provide a truthful representation of the facts and no way manipulate them for their own gain...Crowser said:Just heard this on Fox.
And Pravda means "truth".911 fox said:have you seen the foxnews.com logo it says fair and balanced also i dont known how to post a picture
Oh, it's really nice, the way they think our healthcare is "Evil and Orwellian". Those idiots make me so mad, I could actually see myself joining a terrorist cell sometimes.Crowser said:Just heard this on Fox. Apparently 70% of people living in England, Australia, France, Germany and New Zealand want to, and I quote "Dismantle their health care system and start anew." Yes, I know this is bullshit but I'm curious how people of these nations feel about our media's portrayal of them, especially with all this health care hoo ha going on right now. Funny? Sad? Offensive? Also, do you know any people from any of these countries that actually do want to "dismantle the health care system and start anew."?
It's just politics. If the republicans were pushing it Free Healthcare would be the best things since sliced bread and the other side would finding something to complain about.orangebandguy said:I fail to see how free healthcare is BAD. Maybe there's some crazy logic behind that I don't know.
Hmm, Englishman here, I'd say I disagree. Personally, I like my health care, and I know the rest of my family do as well. Still, this is Fox News, who aren't that well known for their pro-health care stance, or their ability to report on anything correctly, so never mind.Crowser said:Just heard this on Fox.
mate, you pay a £7:10 for 1 course of tamiflu that the nhs have to pay £145 for.Ivan Issaccs said:As a Brit my main gripes with the NHS are that as "universal as it" and despite paying my national insurance I still have to pay for dental treatment, optical care and prescription drugs.
(I might be wrong in this too but I'm also under the impression the Scots don't have to pay for these, feel free to correct me on this though)
On the other hand its absolutely brilliant that I didnt have too pay money to not die when I contracted meningitis, that they patched my broken wrist up after I went and bolocked it in a fight and they replaced my Dads hip free so he could get back to work.
Why do we even need to do this thread?Crowser said:Just heard this on Fox.
I tend to trust BBC America. They're not 24 hour news here, so the stories are actually well researched, and decently Bias free. (By comparison anyway)Cerebreus said:Frankly, I see a few similrities between Fox News and the Obama administration/Obama himself.
1. Both have their ideologies and state what their intentions are (I see a lot of people doubt Fox New's intentions, but I have reasonable doubt of Obama's as well).
2. both distort facts, leave out information, tell outright lies (although sometimes they tell the truth)
3. Etc, etc.
It'd be nice if there was someone we could really trust for news. Both Fox News and the Obama Administration have shown themselves as not truly reliable; the same as other groups.
Oh well. No use whining.
