FoxNews America's most trusted name in news

[Red Dawn]

I just clicked on 10 links off the Fox News main page. 7 of them were AP stories. Does Fox change key words in the articles? Add 0's to numbers and such?

Your response was very predictable.. although I am surprised you did throw CNN in there.. maybe to make it seem more believable. I seriously doubt you are reading the BBC pages very often.. but it certainly makes you sound more informed than the rest of us.

I pulled the list from my favorites on I.E. CNN is the site I read the most and IMO they don't sugar coat the news in favor of one party or the other. I do read BBC often about foreign news, especially about Europe because they are European, makes since to read about the News from those there. You should try it

I don't get my News from the Fox News Channel, CNN's Cable News Channel, ABC, CBS or NBC so I don't have to deal with the bias from those doing the reporting and I definitely don't watch the asshole Commentators on any of those stations.

As for FOX NEWS Online, I'm sure they are much better than their Cable News Station as all the other Online sites tend to be over their TV Broadcasts.

The problem was it happened 3 months ago and you just read about it today.. :sneaky:

It hasn't been front page there at least a month. Is it still front page on FOX?

CNN didn't even report on the Climate Research Unit hacking, proof that global warming is a scam and religious cult.

Yeah, I can't imagine why people trust Fox more.

Hint: your own convictions do not factual news make.

But grats, you're living proof that people turn to sources which confirm their own preconceived notions.

But soccerballtux heard on Fox that CNN didn't report the CRU story. And soccerballtux TRUSTS Fox news more than any other news source.

So you lied about the statistic and we're supposed to believe you when you say people like OReilly and Beck are idiots? I guess it doesn't matter if you post lies because the ends of discrediting conservatives justifies the means.

I didn't lie about a statistic. You numb nuts. I didn't even make that post. Reading comprehension FTL! I was stating that while I disbelieve that 60% number SOMEONE ELSE said, I can see where quite a few people would believe that Iraq was behind 9/11 since stupid broad Sara Palin said so on O'Reilly! You get people like that running the country in front of a major American audience and making claims like that... you don't think a few of the less intellectual viewers may also believe what she said?

So again, learn to read Fear No Evil and make sure you quote the right effing person next time. Idiot.

Step back, Jack ....

Misperceptions, the Media and the Iraq War

Eighty percent (80%) of Fox Viewers had at least one of three misconceptions regarding Iraq as compared with seventy-seven percent (77%) of PBS/NPR followers who had none of the misconceptions.

The frequency of Americans' misperceptions varies significantly depending on their source of news .... Those who primarily watch Fox News are significantly more likely to have misperceptions, while those who primarily listen to NPR or watch PBS are significantly less likely.



From the report:




What is realllly interesting in the report (IIRC) is when they cross-tab Con-Dim Fox viewers the level of misperceptions was essentially the same --- pretty much confirming Fox bias!!!



I'd say that qualifies as a spanking.

That's quite interesting when you consider that we actually found all the WMDs we knew Iraq possessed except the anthrax, we just didn't find the additional WMDs we thought Iraq had manufactured. Yet somehow ol' Saddam gets a pass on those and it's a "misperception" that WMDs were found in Iraq. Also one of al-Qaeda's leaders was in Iraq receiving medical treatment for severe injuries obtained in Afghanistan when we invaded - but I suppose that's not evidence of ties between the two.

Amazing what you can prove when you properly adjust definitions.

Stossel does his own show on Thursdays on Fox Business.

Ah, did not know, thanks.

So what we actually knew and what Bush and his handlers told us were a lie..No shit

 

[umbrella39]

Wow, just wow.

Well, "lie" would imply that they knew the story was false at the time; I don't know that. Certainly Bush the Younger was predisposed to believe ill of Hussein and to be inclined to "finish the job". After all, one of the criticisms of Bush the Elder was that he didn't "finish the job" and depose Hussein at that time. For a second item, you had lots of Iraqi expatriates who really wanted to be able to go home (if only for a visit) and faced death should they return; they were really motivated to say anything that would get the US to go in and remove Hussein. I'd be surprised if the CIA wasn't offering money for information and getting thoroughly scammed. And for Hussein the concept that he had not only a few tons of WMDs (almost as dangerous to those firing them), but possible hundreds of tons of WMDs, worked nicely. It deterred the US from invading (until 9/11 changed priorities) and kept his restive Shi'i and Kurd religious and ethnic groups firmly in line out of fear of repetitions of the attacks on the Kurds. All the times he yanked the UN inspectors' chains, keeping them waiting while trucks moved covered loads out the back doors, might well have been shipping out other contraband. Or proscribed manufacturing equipment. Or just for the fun of yanking their chains. It would be interesting to know what was in all those trucks and planes traveling back and forth between Iraq and Syria and Russia in the days preceding the war, but I think it's pretty safe to say there weren't any substantial stocks of WMDs manufactured after the armistice. As to what Bush et al knew and how much they believed their own press releases, your guess is as good as mine.

The problem is that people, liberals especially it seems, are just too dumb to understand the news so they have to listen to it 10 times with 10 different people and they still don't get it. So they just vote whomever speaks well and they ignore the issues.

And by "get it" you mean Rush's version of the news? Sounds like you might be in the group I'm talking about.

I posted the "60 something %" bit and what do you know ....

That's one, there's at least one more from '06-'07 too. Same point.

News is the newspeak word for "entertainment."
