Fox News Good Reporting?????

[RobCoxxy]

Fair and balanced, for the right wing, that is.

Fox aren't reliable. Go to Sky News or BBC

Oh please the bbc are are the flip side of the fox news coin there just more subtle with the bias.

They report the news then discuss it, they do not alter facts in order to influence opinions.

Fox news is great. They realize that you can't sell stuff to people that are happy and content. So they run around screaming the sky is falling, fascist socialists are in the white house brain washing our children. Then when the audience is worked up to a fever pitch *BAM* commercial break. It is marketing genius and I only upset I didn't think of it first.

I wouldn't take any news channel that relies on ratings to have honest and truthful coverage no matter what side they tend to lean towards.

But you'd have to be a complete fucking idiot to think that anything on Fox "news" is worth watching. Seriously.

I don't know about that. Generally I take Fox News with a pinch of salt, although I usually watch Sky or the BBC myself. However, occasionally they do report things in a decent manner and with the truth. For example, they've handled the story about the Mexican plane hijacking just now pretty damn well.

Which admittedly is a bit of a first for Fox.

 

[open trap]

I was watching the news not, fox but clicking channels aimlessly when i stumble on Fox News. They were doing nostop coverage about how NBC and other news stations and how they must be "in bed" with the president becuase there is an apparent commercial that slams obama and his health care plan.

It seems stations like NBC and CNN wont showw the commercial and they went on and on and on and on and on about these stations. Not thinking they are also guilty of not showing aaaaaannnnnnything close to resembling anything goood or nice about Obama. Just alot of blah blah blah socailist, blah blah blah destroying america, blah blah blah America doesnt like him or his health care.

I was begining to wounder is Fox News a realiable News Station given when theyre not bashing obama or be stupid , they do actually report news. Some high speed chases, drug busts. Are they to be quoted or watched. How good do you think they are.


By the way the Daily Show and Colbert Report are freaking awesome.

nbc and cnn arent any better my friend

 

[Rolling Thunder]

I'm not entirely sure where all 'the BBC is biased', or even 'the BBC is leftwing' is coming from. The BBC has to be objective. They're fired people for even putting to great a humanitarian spin on events, let alone showing personal bias. The only reason the BBC exists, is to provide objective news, and the notion it does not is rather laughable. Simply because they do not join in with everyone else's mockery of Gordon Brown and his government (the latter being in need of mockery) does not make them unbiased, it simply means everyone else is biased. Bias is not determined by majority.


I mean, accusing a network that lets Jeremy Clarkson, a man so rightwing he wears Margaret Thatcher pajamas and, when he flushes his toilet his piss is deposited straight onto the head of the working man*, air his opinions, because they are entertaining cannot be accused of bias.

[Littaly]

Well I think that Fox is the greatest and most reliable news station on the air. Their coverage on the sex scene in Mass Effect really changed my life. The amount of time that they spend on research their topic before they air it is astounding!

This is sarcasm for those of you who don't know your head from your ass...

I know what you mean. It's nice to see a news station that really gets gaming. They knew so much they could basically have spoiled the ending for us.

The head is the one with a big creek in the middle right?

It's because it's hard to spin a hijacking in Mexico as an attempt to further a liberal/socialist agenda in the United States.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

I don't trust Fox News. For anything. They'd lie about the weather if they thought it'd get them a couple bucks.

Today there is a chance of snow... WHaT? It's May? FUCK IT!!! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

Just watch both FOX and MSNBC for the same story, where they differ is where the lies are.

 

[Malevolent Stranger]

I love how the americans keep refering to free healthcare for 140million people "evil" and that they dont want to go up before Obama's "death panel".

There is a problem with title "Fox News" chose, in order to be reporting the news said news must be fact and unbiased by those reporting - Fox fail in both.

Oi. Health Care is a trainwreck. (A) How're you supposed to pay for it, and (B), let's just say, for sake of example, that you need an MRI.. You have to get on a list to see doctor, then on a list to get your MRI, then on another list to get a surgerey, probally aprox. 3 years of waiting for one surgery.

As for Fox News, it is defenitally biased, as is CNN and MSNBC. Just internet browse.

Hmmmm, all they have to do is say that the terrorists are US-government backed and have been instructed to demand that the Mexican President introduces socialist/liberal policies in Mexico, and piles on pressure for Obama to do the same. I thought that up in about a minute. Think what the entire Fox news team could think up in a similar fashion in about half an hour.

 

[Captain Blackout]

By the way the Daily Show and Colbert Report are freaking awesome.

Comedy Central: The last bastion of good news!
Fox: Not even good to watch stoned, much less quote sober, because Comedy Central is soo far better than Fox for both!

 

[obliterate]

They are pretty close, if not, the bottom rung of news sources. I think they believe it makes the edgy or the "rebels" against the "liberal media" agenda. Which is completely nonsense. They are crap news no matter which way you look at it.

Yes that is true...I personally watch CNN and I think they are very reliable

 

[Jak The Great]

I actually think he hates America. Look at his background with Rev. Wright, the man who preaches "Death to America!" And the way Obama feels the need to apologize to the rest of the world, about how terrible America is.

He screwing up America.

I can't tell if you're joking, or seriously that ignorant/gullible.

He right. Obama preacher did say how America is awful and all the "white" Americans are racists. He also "God damn america" just because of something. All I can say is, if you don't like America, that is fine, but don't live here if you hate it. Go somewhere else. and I HATE! how he is going around saying sorry to every fucking country for America. It just showing weakness Imo. Did any other country say sorry for when the did something bad? hell no.

wow.

Allies.. ever heard of the term? People won't ally themselves to you if you can't represent a cause that they believe in. We are not stronger without them, we are stronger with them; and if we have to say 'hey we got a little carried away, sorry about that' to maintain our relationship, then so be it.

As for other countries apologizing: I do believe Germany apologized for WWII... that was a pretty big F-up.

And if you HONESTLY believe that Obama hates this country, you do know that there are WAY better ways to destroy this country than public healthcare...

First off, who said anything about public healthcare? All I said was it wrong to go around and say sorry to another countries for when we just went over and got rid of a dicator.

Second, I never said he trying to ruin the country. Your just now putting words in my mouth. and third, we are already triple in debt thanks to his "simulates plans" which is a big backfire. And last, show me where Germany or any other people who did worst then us say sorry to the people they did bad things. Did Japan say sorry to China when they unlease their soldiers on them to rape,murder and or whatever to them? Did Japan say sorry to us for bombing Pearl harbor when we weren't in the war? (Not picking on Japan, just WW2 they did just as many bad things as Germany). We as Americans also did bad things, but saying sorry when we didn't do anything bad is just wrong.

I said health care because that is what he is working on now that is the 'Great evil' that is going to destroy the fabric of our society. As for his stimulus plans, he was just continuing what George had started, and realistically we haven't even used 50% of the money provided in that plan yet.

Also it wasn't bad that we got rid of Saddam, it's the question on HOW. There was a way to do it with the support of the rest of the world, and we decided not to wait.

in regards to me putting words in your mouth, you are agreeing with a guy who said that he thinks obama HATES this country. Hate is a strong word, which usually will go hand in hand with destroying said hatred when in power (see Hitler, Stalin and well any other dictator/king/tyrant in history)

The apology thing is all relative. both countries have made reparations (granted you can't put a value on a human life, but still)

all in all I just think you don't realize how important an ally is, and in a world that is coming closer together, going lone wolf is a sure way to get yourself killed.

We as Americans also did bad things, but saying sorry when we didn't do anything bad is just wrong.

Define bad. Invading a country under false pretenses? I would qualify that as 'bad'.

I was going to say that.

Three years? What an odd statement I live in the UK and when from Appointment to MRI to Surgery in a little over a month. If you introduce it now you would be could learn from our mistakes and therefore it should work out better why would it take three years?
