FOX is Biased

If you think fox new's tells both sides you probably still believe in the tooth fairy. They are republican all the way, and are some of the biggest jerk's reporting what they call new's the way they see it.

Kind of makes you wonder how the TD left Bill O'Reilly of the list for today's TD Poll...considering he has the number one rated show for the past decade or so...

Gbrk, you MUST be joking!!

FOX, a propaganda arm of the right wing, ludicrously proclaims itself as "fair and balanced," and then gives us such sleazy weasels as the slimy Glenn Beck, who has accused the President of the United States of being a "racist" and having a "deep-seated hatred for white people." Gettouttahere with yer "fair and balanced," FOX. Any halfway sentient human being knows that's a phony claim!

Do you also have the list of donations made by Fox parent company, Its owner and respective employees to counter those you have commented on for the stations you've listed?

As to Fox being fair and balanced..I dont believe it is any more or less than any other station. There is the news & then their are opinion pieces which often today are presented as news..in these cases WE the viewer must take the info we recieve and if the subject interest us..look for the opposing view as you should before making any judgement. Also, Fox is not the only newscast to report on things other stations have not..I'm certain if you watch CBS,ABC, CNN, MSNBC, the BBC or any other station they have and will continue to have stories not seen on Fox.

Riiight...unlike the serene, calm, and balanced musings of Ed Schultz and the objective and middle of the road reporting of Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. Not to mention the non spittle flecked lips of Chris Matthews, void of tingling legs.

The Republicans preserved the Union. And, introduced the first civil rights bill under Eisenhower. Then, provided the 54 votes that passed the second one during the LBJ administration. During which, the Democrat kluxers tried to kill it.

How true! Yet, beternU and the rest of the DailyKOS-HuffingtonPost-AlterNet-DemocraticUnderground-LeftinAlabama spew sponges think Ed, Chris, and Keith are objective! Objectively insane is more like it, and poor wittle Wachel is the come across as the most reasonable of all just because she shows some decorum, which in fact may make her the biggest propagandist of all... a veritable Leni Riefenstahl...

Bill does not have a radio show that being why he was not on the list.

No I don't have a list of Fox editor's contributions or others at Fox. My guess is that most contribute to CONSERVATIVES. Don't be disingenuous with the forum readers by trying to tie FOX to the Republican Party. It so happens that there are more Conservatives in the Republican party so naturally the Republicans most likely get the line share of their contributions. What of it? Considering most of the other media outlets, whether TV, Paper or whatever not only support Liberals and the Democratic party then the lone FOX certainly deserves a place at the table. UNLIKE the other media outlets though FOX has never been found to attempt to conceal articles and actually band together to do damage control for a political candidate as the liberal editors were revealed to be doing for Presidential candidate Obama. FOX also has never deliberately attempted to skew and distort news to change opinions about a sitting President such as was done to and about President Bush and any Republican official on their hit list.

I have no illusions that the Republican politicians are just as corrupt, or some of them, as the Democrats and that the Democrat part has some, few, good folks that actually care about the Country but the days of attempts to win elections by stereotyping Republicans in the same way hopefully are over. The Democratic party today has hopefully revealed to the nation just how bad that they are and how dangerous their agenda is to America as we have known it. Fox is biased and leans Right (Conservative (not Republican)) but they are about the ONLY one standing that is not SOLD OUT Completely. You do get both sides on FOX but NEVER on other networks and much to their chagrin and loss of ad revenue FOX is so obviously the general average American's choice for their news that word must be out just how biased and Sold out the other networks are. Sold Out, In the Tank, or how ever you wish to put it they are so obvious that people can ONLY TRUST FOX anymore for their news.

Glen Beck, Hannity, and others are not newscasters and do not pretend to be neither does FOX put them up as news anchors or news people. They are Conservative Commentary and are their because they are popular with people. Have you listened to Glen Beck? I doubt very seriously that those who rant and rave about Glen being "sleazy" have every listened to him at all but bought into the stereotype or propaganda being spread about him and against him. You are the same as the people who vote one way because you are told to and because of Party or Union affiliation.

Most of what Glen Beck has presented lately has been information about the founders of our Country and the Constitution and at times revealed information about people that the President has put into power positions and what they are on record as of saying or believing. None of his statements have been forced to be retracted because of being proven false. I don't listen to him that much but what I have heard has been very informative, about our countries Founders. Statements he has made has been that far too little is taught today about these men and people (white and black) who made our country what it is. SLEEZE? Come on now who is drinking the koolaid now?

Bill most certainly have a Radio show, called the Factor, the same as his TV Show at night. Bill has both a very popular Radio and TV show and anyone who says that he doesn't present both sides is speaking without ever watching him.

Of course, Fox is biased to the Right, just as NBC, CBS, and ABC are to the Left! That's why Fox is so popular; most people are sick of hearing nothing but the liberal spew on the "major" networks. I watch all four from time to time, all the while noting the slant I am hearing from both directions. Anyone who watches ANY of them and doesn't keep the particular perspective of that network in mind, is perilously close to being naive!

In recent years, at least twenty Fox News personalities have endorsed, raised money, or campaigned for Republican candidates or causes, or against Democratic candidates or causes, in more than 300 instances and in all 50 states.* Republican parties and officials have routinely touted these personalities' affiliations with Fox News to sell and promote their events.

If obviously do not watch him or you would know he does not have a radio show and hasn't had one in well over a year.Next time keep your mouth shut when you are ignorant on the topic.

FOX NEWS is the LARGEST contributor to the GOP. How can they possibly be called objective if this is the case. They will put their mouths where their money is.

Coincidently, one of Imans more generous investors in the NYC mosque drama is Prince Al Waleed bin Talal who is also the #2 SHAREHOLDER IN FOX NEWS.

Funny Fox forgot to mention this connection when they were tracing the money trail.

No, he owns only 7% of News Corp shares., which includes over 50 different entities, not just Fox news.

Prince bin Talan now owns 7% of shares at News Corp.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talan owns his shares of the News Corp through "Kingdom Holding, in which Alwaleed holds a 95 percent stake," reports the Huffington Post.

Kingdom Holding also owns shares in Citigroup, eBay, Apple, Four Seasons hotels and Fairmont hotels.

Jeffrey Inmelt is the CEO Of GE who backs Obama, and who owns 80% of NBC, who got payback.

Immelt Named To Obama's New Economic Advisory Board
GE CEO to join independent group that will advise president on programs to jump-start economy
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 2/6/2009 11:58:11 AM

President Barack Obama has named Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of NBC Universal parent GE, to his new economic advisory board.

The new board is modeled on the foreign intelligence advisory board created under President Dwight Eisenhower, according to the White House, and will "provide an independent voice on economic issues and will be charged with offering independent advice to the President as he formulates and implements his plans for economic recovery."

Please provide the provenance for your statement that Fox News is the largest contributor to the GOP. I assume you mean Murdoch's $1 million contribution to the GOP Governor's association. However, I believe this is not the largest overall.

And how are those Democrats being viewed across the country. Not very well according to the polls.

I would say that as a group, journalists would seem to have a more favorable bias toward Democrats.

What is not included is the "in-kind" value of the exposure that Fox provides for the candidates of their choice. The Fox personalities actively participate in fundraising activities for exclusively RepubTeaCon candidates, both in person and during broadcasts.

As does the NBC and MSNBC 'personalities' for the dems.

So you agree that Fox is not "fair and balanced" and is merely a mouthpiece for the RepubTeaCons, and not a legitimate source of non-biased journalism.

Juan,

Please name a source of non-biased journalism.

Thanks
