Fox News story. Black is white. Upd is down. Truth is a lie.

[microbial]

Far from a conservative slant, Fox News has self-confirmed through their April 15th Tea Party promotion, participation, coordination and patronage--that they are in-fact a political activist organization. As such they proselytize their political campaigns through broadcast in violation of FCC rules.

I would be surprised if the FCC does not vigorously investigate and prosecute them immediately.

No other news organization has ever gone so far to violate the license of public bandwidth.

No. The point isn't worth discussing. Just discussing it gives them more legitimacy than they deserve, as if there's any reasonable reason for someone to argue that.

:laugh: He's just been begging for it recently. Of course, the truly sad part is, he really believes what he wrote.

To be fair, I think lots of people believe that.

The sad thing is that Fox may actually be the most balanced. Don't get me wrong, it's not a praise of Fox, it is an insult to the other news sources. The other networks rarely give any conservatives any credibility, even if it is to give their side of the argument in a debate. MSNBC & CNN, or even Stewart/Colbert, a whole lot of others, present themselves as believing conservatives are second-class citizens.

Fox puts their conservative slant on everything, but at least they go through the effort to present the other side of the discussion, much more than other networks.

What? In repeated media analysis CNN has been shown to have on fewer liberals than conservatives, and every single opinion show they have had anytime recently has had a conservative slant to it. (their headline news network had Glenn Beck before he went to Fox, they still have Lou Dobbs). To call CNN liberal is absolutely ridiculous.

EDIT: Oh, but Fox is oh so balanced. They have hours and hours and hours of moderate to batshit insane right wing programming, along with having their 'news' shows hosted by right wing people such as Brit Hume, Neil Cavuto, etc. In fact, show me even a single left leaning person on Fox. There might be one or two, but I can't think of them.

They are cable news not broadcast - FCC wouldn't apply in this case.

Uh, why are you lumping The Daily Show and The Colbert Report in there? Those are comedy shows. TDS is directly preceded by a show where people shit out of their mouths.

FCC and cable ownership and signal beam are contentious issues subject to much less regulation, but cable news is not free of FCC regulation. Furthermore, Fox news does broadcast it's programs (at least on Sundays) over the air on public airwaves.

I'm interested in your commentary and its not just because it is yet another example of the liberal's disdain for the 1st amendment. Regardless of the fact that the FCC does not have regulatory powers over cable television content, I would be very interested to know which specific "FCC rules" you believe Fox has broken. Please be specific.

Just to be clear - then it's alright for Fox News to present what they broadcast as unbiased "news?" Even though it has been proven time and time and time and time again that it isn't?

In any case, my question remains.

I care. Anyone who cares about the press' responsibility to the public and their integral part in this country should care. Trying to pass off what they do as journalism is disingenuous at very best.

Why do you hate America?

That doesn't even make any sense. Damn you're stupid.

Go watch the discover channel or something, it's much better than fox news. Who's your cable provider? I'm sure if you call their 800 number they can walk you through the process of changing the channel. Just tell them you're retarded and they'll probably talk slower so you can understand. Good luck.

It wouldn't bother me at all if they didn't claim to be something they weren't. If their slogan was:

Fox News: We Report, You Already Know What's Coming

or

Fox News: Fair and Balanced (but not really)

or

Fox News: Roger Ailes Will Choke Your Mother

or

Fox News: CHENEY

or

Fox News: Jesus Would Watch Us

or

Fox News: All Palin, All the Time

or

Fox News: News Rhymes With Jews and We Blame Them

or

Fox News: The Truck Nuts of 24 Hour News Networks

But "Fair and Balanced?" Please.

Why do you hate the troops?
