Why do you need to state "Fair and Balanced" if you are Fair and Balanced?

x2.

Main stream media, reporting only facts without any bias. hahahahahahah That's classic.

X3. A classic for ATP&N.

News is supposed to be facts, not business.

Not in 'Murica, fuck yeah!

Yellow Journalism has been around for a LONG time.

The Fairness Doctrine was enacted to fight that. Guess who shitcanned it?

The only reliable sources of news in this country now are CBS, MSNBC, and CNN. Everybody else just tries to impart their bias on their viewership.

I dunno, you tell me. I'm pretty sure 80% of the readership at ATPN agrees with what I said.

MSNBC? srsly????

Guess you have conveniently forgotten about the doctored 911 tapes?

If only those reporters would work free.

What does that have to do with reporting facts?

 

[OrByte]

So the response from righties is to laugh/mock the mainstream media.

even though it is proven that Fox viewers grow more and more stupid the more they tune into Fox programming

but...keep mocking..please...

this explains alot....really...

 

[umbrella39]

Because it just irks the dumbocrats out there. And they as usual play right into it.

Still stuck on partisan stupid we can see...

LOL, that's a good one.

They declare they're fair and balanced because Liberals need it to be spelled out for them.

Why would a news corp need to state it? That would be like a straight guy announcing to everyone every day that he is "Not gay"

Weekly reminder post that Fox News is defined as an Entertainment organization as defined by the United States Supreme Court and they can show 110% pure fiction and lies that is protected under free speech.

There is no "News" associated with Fox News, it is just a name.

Kinda of like some mainstream media who won't be named that doctored some 911 calls to make them appear more racist or continued to use pics of a suspect when they were 12 years old and not a teenage wanna be thug?? what color is that???

Oh yeah, I remember that one. The one where NBC fired the producer for that? I don't see FOX firing anybody for spreading their daily dose of propagandistic half-truths and lies. I think they give raises and bonuses to their producers instead because they know and understand that spreading lies and disingenuous rumors keeps them at the top of the ratings game.

Yeah, I am sure this is the only instance they have shown any bias....was anyone fired for using pics of Travyon when he was 12 instead of a teen ager gang banger wannabe?? or is that not bias on NBC's part??
