Fox News getting more desperate

[Fern]

-snip-

Fox News spin: Darrell Issa says despite report Holder still to blame (even though program started under Bush.)

No, F&F did not start under Bush.

Fern

True. It was called Project Gunrunner under Bushie.

The desperate ones are the lefties posting here in this thread. Seeing how close the polls are they realize that they're only a terrorist attack, stunning economic report or a single personal fuck-up by Obama from a Republican House, Senate and Presidency.

A lot can happen in 47 days, I hope you lefties are saying your pra.... umm .....crossing your fingers that nothing bad happens.

Lol, bet on it troll.

I blame FOX and FOX alone for occupying a perfectly good cable channel that could rather be used for reporting boring but factual news of substance. You know...REAL fair and balanced news.

Well, at least I know where the Goebbels School of Propaganda slithered off to after WWII. My bet was Argentina, but here it is right here in the good 'ol US of A. Thank you Mr. Murdoch. We really needed to have a beacon of blinding accusing light pointing right at you for what you're doing to our country.

So which station is actually fair and balanced...... in your opinion tweaker?

You never heard of MSNBC?

Or do you only object to propaganda from the 'other side'?

[OrByte]

I dont watch MSNBC because they are too similar as FOX just but for the 'Left'

that said, feel free to call out MSNBC when they get caught lying ala FOX.

 

[Moonbeam]

Poor poor conservatives.....you are loved by me. Let me sing my heart out to you:

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin aint right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches Ive been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - you gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

I object to lies touted as truth and news

So you're going to stop posting here then.

Touche, but I've never lied about anything here!

Its been a bad couple of weeks for Mitt Romney made even worse with the latest Pew poll on issues and battleground state numbers. Decided to turn on Fox and Friends this morning while getting ready for work to see how they would handle it. Here's what I got in about 15 min.


Report exhonerated Eric Holder for blame in Fast and Furious and indicated no coverup.

Fox News spin: Darrell Issa says despite report Holder still to blame (even though program started under Bush.)

Dinesh DeSouza on his hit piece move about Obama

US Postal Service can't balance its books.

Bitching that Obama went on Letterman and doesn't have time to meet with Isreals PM.

No stories on Romney just all Obama hate. It gave me a chuckle.

Yet a lot of posters here still don't admit to the fact (yes fact, several studies have shown this) that Fox News viewers are the most misinformed viewers of news.

I wonder why?

"It's all the MEDIA's fault!"

[HomerJS]

So here's the latest...

All the Fox News hosts today and any guest they can find all got on the air and read from the same script.

"The MSM is fixing the polls just to favor Obama and the election is really tied".

They are all reading identical talking points while ignoring their own Fox News polls that show the very same thing as all the other polls.


You can't make this stuff up.

The difference between Fox and MSNBC is this.

MSNBC chooses to cover stories that focus on liberal/progressive issues and they make no bones about whose side they are on. Their freaking motto is "think forward" for christ sakes. To my knowledge they are not outright lying or deliberately misstating/misquoting facts and if they do they are the first to issue out a correction. This is a FAR different situation than what we have going on at Fox.

Fox is not purporting to be the conservative viewpoint for America. Fox purports to be fair and balanced but their coverage is anything but. They deliberately lie, misquote, and misstate facts to advance the RNC agenda. There really is no comparison to be made between the two networks in terms of accuracy, MSNBC trumps Fox all day every day.

Rats abandon a sinking ship. They are creating an altered world patch that says the ship isn't sinking. This will convince some of the stupider rats. The poor stupid rats are being set up to drown.

If all they do is blame the media then they haven't learned a goshdarn thing...

 

[HomerJS]

I suspect Fox News suspects Romney is going to lose this. All their hosts are laying the groundwork blaming the pollsters and the media for Mitts problems. No more real stories on Mitt himself.

If Obama wins this will be used as another hammer to charge that Obama is not the "real president", he was chosed by the media.

Book it!

So say Nostra-dumbass

 

[IBMer]

I listened to a news story yesterday on Fox where they were talking about how the MSM is fixing this election by being "pro" Obama. One of the talking heads said "Well this station does this constantly too and since you guys are the "most popular" news station does that mean you are fixing the election for Romney?"

They are still being up the same issue for the last week that the White House didn't consider the Embassy attack to be a terrorist attack which hasn't been true since they started touting. Also 90 percent of the people they bring on bring up the same talking point EVERYTIME about Obama not having any leadership without actually stating any premises. Seriously lets not blame the fact that Obama can't get anything through congress because of Filibuster and not having a majority in the house and the fact that Republicans don't want anything to do with him. No its his lack of leadership that the other party has already stated that they do not want to compromise with him at all. Since when is it the Presidents job to babysit congress?

That is the crux of the whole thing right there.

MSNBC does not claim to be unbiased. Fox claims to be fair and balanced when it could not be farther from the truth.

Fox admits its perspective if from the right.

I don't "Fair and Balanced" means what you think it does.

"Fair" - When Fox does a segment on someone/something almost every time they make a point of announcing that they have that person or org to make a statement or appear on the show to explain their position etc.

"Balanced" - Unlike MSNBC, when Fox has a panel or group on a show they have people representing both side of the aisle. Heck, Fox has quite a few 'regulars' from the Left who are on payroll.

Edit: I will add that unlike MSNBC, Fox has serious journalists types such as Catherine Herridge. There's nothing inherently wrong with MSNBC not having any but that's because it is a straight up 'editorial/opinion' channel (except when it's showing all those danged prison shows).

Seriously, they are Foxes parody version of progressives. I could use another term for them but it would get real ugly. It's an old southern term. House is the first word.

Srsly?

Like Bob Beckel:

Beckel holds a B.A. from Wagner College.[2] While in college, he worked for Robert F. Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1968. Early in his career, he joined the U.S. Department of State and became the youngest deputy assistant secretary of state for the Carter administration.[3] Beckel was the campaign manager for Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign. During that campaign he became known as the man who effectively wrapped the Wendy's slogan "Where's the Beef?" around Gary Hart, Mondale's opponent for the Democratic nomination.

Which ones do you claim are not 'real' Democrats?
