Speaking the truth that you disagree with = Tool.
Speaking lies that you agree with = Good.
Gotcha.

After all these years, Nancy, I figured you'd have caught on to the fact that I defend factual, empirical evidence, no matter what that may be.
That it may, at times, rub sand in that delicate, politically biased vagina of yours makes no difference to me.

Yes, this is the case.
According to the court's interpretation of FCC regulations, a network can completely distort the facts of a story - even to the point of lying to viewers. But God help that station if they show the bare nipple of a woman, even if only for a few seconds.

Really, babydoll? You offered the Sherrod "racist" tripe before having all the facts concerning the story....

Why, yes, sugartits, I did, and as soon as I found out the truth, I posted a correction and edited the title.
I never claimed I was a perfect, godlike person. Only that I "defend factual, empirical evidence, no matter what that may be."
Proving I've been mistaken before does not discredit everything I say forevermore. (Especially if I am readily willing to correct myself.)
It makes me human.

Defending Fox is a classic fool's errand, *aside from what Amused and IBMer was discussing.*
Their content is inarguably propagandistic in nature no matter how you slice it.
Watching Fox is like watching an ocean liner sink, or a building fall apart in an earthquake, or watching a tidal wave destroy a coastline. You get the morbid fascination from watching, the emotion thus derived.....and absolutely nothing of value in the way of forming an accurate and truthful opinion about anything they "report" or editorialize because they have ZERO creditability and consistently lie, disinform, mischaracterize, bamboozle and deceive to propagate their ideology.
Their whole programming is driven by an ultra-conservative agenda and the folks that watch FOX is so sadly desperate for news of how the country is being threatened by the foreign born black fascist muslim and his horde of commie socialist tax and spend disciples that want to take their guns away. To what useful end?
They would rather believe lies and ignore the obvious truth all around them to keep their fear and their paranoia wrapped around them like a security blanket.
It's simply amazing the lengths to which some would defend Fox with more obvious lies and deceptive/misleading allegory in the face of what is obvious to anyone who would bother to seek the truth of a matter.

What is that old saying about removing the plank in one's own eye before bitching about the speck in anothers?

It simply amazes me how the left demonizes Fox while ignoring MSNBC (as the worst example) and a whole host of other news stations. It's almost like an automagical bias detector.

The Left
One doesn't have to be on the Left to demonize Faux Noise as Bullshit. MSNBC is bullshit too, in fact all Cable TV News is Bullshit. I don't watch any of it if I can help it and you won't see me defending MSNBC.Quote:

Fair enough on the specific topic of fundraising. And thanks for not lying about or denying the despicable behavior of Fox that I posted about, I respect that.:thumbsup:

Oh, I could post a lot more than fundraising.
Here, the MSNBC NEWS team, not an opinion show, deliberately conceals the race of a man carrying a gun at a tea party gathering, announces the tea party is all white and armed to inflame racial tensions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYKQJ4-N7LI
In the heavily edited and zoomed video MSNBC shows us, all we are shown is a gun, but cannot tell the race of the person holding it. The reporters go on and on about white racist tea party members carrying guns and how scary that is to blacks. They go on and on about how the Tea Party is all about white gun toting protesters being angry about a black man in the white house.
But...
OOPS!!!
The guy with the guns is really black!!!

Fox catches them at this:

Bias has been in the media since media existed. Only now, there is much more media so the bias can be more specialized among outlets.
But the sure way to see which way your own bias lay, is to see which station pisses you off enough to call "despicable."
Everyone acts as if this is all something new and dangerous. I guess no one ever heard of Walter Winchell.
And I fail to see how one can support freedom of speech, yet turn around and think there should be some control over what a news outlet may, or may not report. Yet another sign that the American left is anything but liberal.

I'll admit to not reading the whole thread (I got through 3/4 of page 1 and most of page 4) but....
The thread is and of itself a completely useless waste of disk space. That show is equivalent to The View. It isn't news and was never news and as such, anything they say is geared towards a specific target audience (the evil librul hatin', God fearin', real Amuricans) that don't care if they edited out a laugh in an attempt to make their goober audience laugh.

However, it's better than being the #2, #3, ....etc POS. It also guarantees advertising monies which preserve the business.
All your news are belong to FoxNews
