If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed.

If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.

Talk to anyone who interned with a newspaper or TV station. The operative philosophy is to entertain. Just look at the so called "morning news" - sure, a few markets still have their own local news shows in that slot, but even then, they're still geared towards entertainment. I, frankly, find it DISGUSTING that the two most honest news programs in the entire TV lineup are on COMEDY CENTRAL. Sure, they take a fun, light approach to the news, especially politics, but there's more honest-to-god information conveyed in 5 minutes of those two shows than in all of Sunday morning's talking head shows COMBINED.

 
what a horrible freaking video. i don't like Fox, but i think their clip was totally fine. the guy said some outrageous stuff on a comedy show. that's what they reported. where's the problem?

What's unfortunate is that people can't think for themselves without the news media pointing them in one direction or another.

that's a well thought out point. not.

how else are people supposed to draw conclusions other than from the info the media gives us? we can't be on site to where the news is happening all around us can we?

Thank you for proving my point.

An intelligent person should be able to take the news that the media gives us, whether it's biased one way or the other, and reach their own conclusion. Like I did above. Fox News tried to make that congressman look bad because he willingly said the things Colbert prompted him to say. They gave their biased viewpoint. But I looked at it and said to myself, "hey, the guy is just joking. Congressmen are allowed to joke, right?" The problem is, most people just watch the news source that is biased in their favor and take what they say unquestioningly. That is bad. You need to consciously filter out the bias in the news and think for yourself.

Edit: And if you think I just filter out the bias from the right, again see my post above. This thread started with a video that was biased to the left that tried to make Fox News look bad. I rejected that bias as well.

Colbert shortened the clip the same way Fox News did in this clip:

All the morning news shows were doing the same thing as well. This was not unique to Fox News.

Edit: Of course Fox News is biased, but this attempt at exposing it is just pathetic.

Actually This appears to be humour segment(the last couple of minutes) of brit humes shows. Video edits for this segment are not uncommon and not taken to be taken serious as they are done for the purpose of humor, not political jabs.

i believe that cnn reports more accurately in a more contemporary bias than fox news. contemporary doesn't mean liberal. there's a big difference.

maybe conservatives are so old-world thinking that something contemprary must seem liberal *shrug*... just a hypothesis.

I don't know how you got the impression that I watch Fox News, or any TV news for that matter, because I don't.

All of CNN's shows are garbage. Headline News turned into garbage too. There's a reason why Fox News has hgher ratings than CNN and MSNBC combined.

And yet you continue to expose your own bias. Instead of calling it liberal, you call it "contemporary," What ever floats your boat, man. Just realize you're in denial.

I stopped watching the 'news' over a year ago. Yawn.

At this point in my life, I prefer to be uninformed.

Flame on, you douche nozzle.

Well you are just as pathetic, you ignored the whole setup by Fox as if it were news and not a joke. They were trying to Dem bash, it's what they do 24/7.
Click to expand...

They said it was from the Colbert Report on the "Comedy Channel" (Comedy Central). They showed Colbert prompting him. It should have been obvious to any clear thinking person that it was a joke, even if they aren't familiar with the Colbert Report.

Why they thought it was newsworthy is beyond me.
Click to expand...

Agreed. I don't think anyone watching that report from Fox would've thought the clip was serious, especially with all of the laughing going on in the background, and the lead-in by Colbert.

And this is coming from a rather liberal person (me).

And you just showed, like amused, why idiots keep thinking fox is a news outlet that is not biased, you only listen to them and believe everything they say.
If you had thought/think for yourself you would know that CNN has more viewers then fox. So tell me what makes fox #1? Ratings, viewers, number of shows vs telling the news, etc...?

Atleast during the night, Fox News has more viewers than CNN, Headline News, MSNBC, and CNBC combined.

Please point out where I ever said Fox News was unbiased.

Oh wait... you can't. Who's the idiot now?
 
why is it that certain parts of the population always accuse other segments of the population of being unable to think for themselves? so it's impossible to think for yourself and come to the same conclusion as that segment of the population accused of not thinking?
 
Good GOD I am sick of all the whining that liberals do. EVERY news show does EXACTLY what Fox News did with that clip.
