Why I love Fox news.

Most of those are pretty good and some even somewhat believable, the o'reilly one is good with the finger point.

 

[Sunburn74]

LOL! So true. I can't believe fox news can legally even carry the name news.

 

[MovingTarget]

Haha! Its an old one, but still lulz-worthy...

 

[Phokus]

The Simpsons had a pretty good parody of fox news too. "Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at 11!"

 

[cybrsage]

The talking points and the spanish inquisition ones were quite humorous. The others, meh...they were trying too hard and failed.

Still, I got a chuckle out of it.

The MSM would have blamed Man Made Global Warming for the iceberg being there to sink the Titantic, demanding more crippling legislation be made.

I remember a pic from the Simpsons that showed a Fox News helicopter with a Fox logo and the tagline "Not Racist just #1 with racists."

While not everyone who watches fox is racists it just seems likely that racists won't watch any other news channel than Fox...

Do you think Jesse Jackson or any member of the Racist Congressional Caucus watches Fox News?

Whenever the Simpsons gets a little too close to home they get nasty notes from the news division.

I can't believe there are any people left in this country who read or listen to any American news outlets. Every one of them have a ideological axe to grind hence making them useless to get any straight news from.

They certainly have close ties to 501(c)3's with staffers whose job it is to watch it.

Not as their sole source of News they probably watch it to get a feel for what the talking point du joir is for the right wingers that they may have to rebut that day.

No one is saying that non-whites can't be biased but in some cases there is an innate advantage to being white that there is to being another race in this country. Right now in more cases than there is to being non-white.

It's slowly changing has the present population of younger people are increasingly those who were born in the mid 80s or later.

As people who were born in the 70s and before get older the cultural advantages in some situations to having pale skin will fade and that is a good thing if we truly want a meritocracy. However as has come to the attention of some people in this country inequalities in class is as much a problem if not more than race and in some cases intertwined.

You can label me as some liberal socialist communist or whatever, but really the situations that cause conflict in this country are more nuanced than that and no one side has the right answer for all the ills of this country.

Right now a lot of conservatives willfully ignore the problems I touched upon in my previous paragraphs. Not that the more left leaning people in politics have the answer but at least some of them have paid attention to them.

So which is it? Are Jesse Jackson and the members of the various racist Congressional Caucus' likely to watch no other new channel than Fox or not?

You cannot have it both ways...they cannot mostly watch other stations and also mostly watch Fox.

Wow, man the fact that you have willfully ignored most of my reply is pretty amazing.

Let me clarify my opinion then. Racists probably watch Fox as their only televised news source.

Now if you want to slander Jesse Jackson as being racist go right ahead.
Do I believe he is racist? No. Do I believe that he is completely without bias when it comes to race? No. Everyone has bias, but I don't consider him racist.

Now it may be that you can't hold those two thoughts in your head without it hurting but that's not my problem.

No Jesse Jackson and people who he associates with don't watch Fox News as their only source of televised news.

And they are not racist as you're implying.

For all the haters of FNC I have a question - would you back Obama if he issued a EO banning FNC on American airwaves?

I think he would achieve "GOD" status!

News =/ Entertainment.

Unfortunately, that point has been lost on broadcasters.

Entertainment = Viewership

Viewership = Exposure

Exposure = Advertising Value

Advertising Value = Worth/income


Therefore:

If News = News /= Entertainment

News /= $$

For all the haters of FNC I have a question - would you back Obama if he issued a EO banning FNC on American airwaves?

Of course not. First off, Fox News is a cable station, so "American airwaves" is a little bit of a strained descriptor (I think of American airwaves as public airwaves, aka network television, which Fox News is not a part of). But I don't think the President or the FCC should be banning any media company from broadcasting based solely on a difference of opinion; that's a terrible precedent to set with regards to free speech, and absolutely indefensible for anyone with a working brain, liberal or conservative.

Yea... but it's a happy thought.

You responded to my one statement, why should I bother with all the non-related stuff you might decide to type? Oranges have less Vitamin C in them than Jalepenos have.

Let me clarify my opinion then. Racists probably watch Fox as their only televised news source.

I strongly disagree. Jesse Jackson and the various racist Congresional Caucus' most likely watch very little Fox News. The only reason such racists would watch Fox News at all is to see if they are mentioned or to find something to be outraged over.

I am sure we both agree said racists watch other news programs as their primary news sources.

Now if you want to slander Jesse Jackson as being racist go right ahead.
Do I believe he is racist? No. Do I believe that he is completely without bias when it comes to race? No. Everyone has bias, but I don't consider him racist.

Yeah, and Hiram Wesley Evans was not racist either...

No Jesse Jackson and people who he associates with don't watch Fox News as their only source of televised news.

And they are not racist as you're implying.

Yes they are. Jesse is as racist as can be, that is obvious to anyone without your blinders. Also, any group which allows membership based on the color of one's skin is a racist group. Whites are not allowed to join the Black Congressional Caucus, even if they represent a predominantly black district. As such, those who are members of said groups are racists by default...they support a racist group.

So we are back at where we started. You erroneously claimging that racists mainly watch Fox and refusing to admit your error.

Man up.

 

[MovingTarget]

For all the haters of FNC I have a question - would you back Obama if he issued a EO banning FNC on American airwaves?

No. He has no authority to do so. FNC is a cable network, so American Airwaves don't apply. Fox news may be a cesspool of journalistic integrity, but they do not require an FCC license to broadcast on cable. They do not have to act int he public interest.

 

[cybrsage]

Of course not. First off, Fox News is a cable station, so "American airwaves" is a little bit of a strained descriptor (I think of American airwaves as public airwaves, aka network television, which Fox News is not a part of).

Obama actually tried to snub FoxNews by not inviting them to an official administration press briefing. The other stations refused to attend unless Fox was allowed there as well. While I am sure they would love to see Fox fail, they do not want to set the precident by which a President gets to decide which news stations are allowed to get official info.

 

[soundforbjt]

What I'd love to see on ALL opinion "news" shows on any news network or radio is a disclaimer running across the bottom of the screen (wouldn't work on radio of course), stating the information stated is purely opinion and is not intended to be taken as factual.

 

[blankslate]

Yes they are. Jesse is as racist as can be, that is obvious to anyone without your blinders. Also, any group which allows membership based on the color of one's skin is a racist group.

Man up.

Really?

It's a caucus for Black people now maybe some yahoo wanted to join it but it has a right to exclude people who aren't black as much as people in gentlemen's clubs have a right to exclude women. The test is if these organizations accept and benefit from public sources. It the Black Congressional caucus does then it should stop immediately.

It may be bigoted, it's probably very short-sighted if it is turning away talented people who aren't black who want to further the organization's cause(s) but it's not racist. What's the difference? It's in the culture, that I mentioned is changes however gradually, that affords white people advantages due to peoples' unspoken and perhaps pre-conscious biases.

If there was a White Congressional Causus it would be racist not just because they are bigoted and prejudice but because there is that historical element of power. Granted it's gradually fading as younger people who aren't exposed to hardcore racism/bigotry become a larger portion of the population.

How does this societal prejudice manifest itself? One way is economically.

Another way is in the Justice system.

Of course you can't see that... so you tell me something so laughable as man up?

I should man up? You should just stop spewing absolutely stupid crap.
