FOX was never a real news station

[hadit]

Funny it's us who wants the fairness doctrine and you claim it would benefit you but you don't want it. Huh.

Ever hear of principle? I don't want the government forcing media outlets to create speech they don't want to, period.

 

[jbrownson0831]

FOX admits they are "entertainment." They cater to their RW audience. Their game is to "sensationalize" their reporting. Whatever makes their viewers salivate. PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC is where I get most of my news.

When I want to laugh, I turn on FOX and hear where the Biden family is dependent on China....Ha Ha

When did the Bidens try to build a hotel in China?

There you go jimboliar.....you watch Fox all the time as part of your Trump campaign.

 

[jbrownson0831]

Let us know when they attacked our electoral process or suggested to scrap the Constitution like trump did.

Again, you have things backwards....Trump did no such thing, Joe Capone did.

I never had sex with that woman....Ms Lewinski....another republican lie??????

Everybody knew he was lying as soon as he said it. I remember looking at my wife when we first saw the clip and saying "Yeah he did"

They are the publics airwaves. You know that right? But of course you want to turn them over to the corporations and you think good will come of that. All that has come is brainwashing righties and keeping left wing talk off the air.

Thank God for NPR. It's why you want to kill it.

Yea but prove it. Who knew she saved his gizz.

Of course they're public. That's why the government should not be in a position to dictate content. Have you ever heard of free speech? It's not free when Uncle Joe has his minions meeting on the regular with the bosses to dictate what is approved and what is not.

Thank God for NPR. It's why you want to kill it.

Why would I want to kill a government funded liberal news outlet?

Just saying he was a terrible liar.

"A license permits broadcasting, but the licensee has no constitutional right to be the one who holds the license or to monopolize a…frequency to the exclusion of his fellow citizens. There is nothing in the First Amendment which prevents the Government from requiring a licensee to share his frequency with others…. It is the right of the viewers and listeners, not the right of the broadcasters, which is paramount.

— U.S. Supreme Court, upholding the constitutionality of the Fairness Doctrine in Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, 1969.

American thought and American politics will be largely at the mercy of those who operate these stations, for publicity is the most powerful weapon that can be wielded in a republic. And when such a weapon is placed in the hands of one person, or a single selfish group is permitted to either tacitly or otherwise acquire ownership or dominate these broadcasting stations throughout the country, then woe be to those who dare to differ with them. It will be impossible to compete with them in reaching the ears of the American people.

— Rep. Luther Johnson (D.-Texas), in the debate that preceded the Radio Act of 1927 (KPFA, 1/16/03)

It is the purpose of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of that market, whether it be by the government itself or a private licensee. It is the right of the public to receive suitable access to social, political, aesthetic, moral and other ideas and experiences which is crucial here. That right may not constitutionally be abridged either by Congress or by the FCC.

With that said, no we don't need it back. The information market is eclectic.

Isn't it strange. If this is true, isn't it weird that you guys can't pull off a show like the Daily Show? Or you guys can't have a popular sitcom when someone spouts right wing ideology like Tim Allen, Rosanne or Dennis Miller.

I know you think Gutfeld is good but it isn't. Even if it's beating all the late night shows. That's just Republicans flocking to a channel they know lies to them. And Gutfeld will continue to lie to them about vaccines, election fraud, transvestites, abortion, global warming, etc. They eat it up.

so you must watch gutfeld to know all that....you must eat his show up too....

 

[Care4all]

Like Maddow had to pretend she's an entertainer and not a news person?

Did Fox actually admit anything or did they just settle?

FYI
For about a year now, Maddow is on only 1 night a week, she no longer is a full time show host.

What does that change about my statement?

Just like Trump when he denied his Stormy Daniels affair.

My con buddy at the dog park told me to watch said it was hilarious. They started off the show getting the crowd riled up with trannies swimming against women. Then that c**t Sinema started bashing the media, for doing EXACTLY what the panel was doing. Lying to the American people. Trying to endoctrinate them. Brainwash them with liberal spin.

Of course the people watching don't realize that's what's happening to them. And they don't care. They don't want to be told they are wrong. They go to Fox to hear that they are right and not alone. Even if they are wrong, they don't want to hear it.

So I watched less than 10 minutes of that trash and haven't gone back since.

My buddy says, "oh come on he's funny admit it". And honestly he's not one bit funny.

 

[BlindBoo]

Yep. Nobody believed him and mostly didn't care.

i bet you are there most nights bobo....otherwise how would you know he talks about the stuff you mentioned above?....

It was all in the first 5 minutes of the one episode I watched. I was able to determine very quickly

1. This is right wing bullshit
2. He is not funny
3. The show is just more Fox brainwashing cons just in a different format. Try to make it funny but really there's nothing funny about it. Like no one in the audience is laughing about Joe taking this country into socialism, inflation and trannies in bathrooms.

Yuk Yuk Yuk.

I saw all I needed to see in 5 minutes.

OMG it wasn't Sinema who was on Gutfeld. It was this bitch

and if i would have said 5 min is all i need to know about scarboro or maddow you would have said i wasnt actually watching the show so how would i know what their show is about...

Imagine your right wing pal who tries so hard to pretend to be fair and balanced tells you that you have to see this show on Fox. That it's hilarious.

If that's what he likes to hear, he aint fair and balanced. He aint a moderate or independent. He's a guy who has a hard time defending Republicans but still votes for them. Perhaps because like you he's convinced liberals are the ones destroying America

Here is what is destroying America Harry. Since 1978, CEO pay has went up 1100%. Our pay has only gone up 18%. Hence the widening gap between rich and rest of us. Hence the reason for inflation. Or one of the reasons.

And Trump passed huge tax breaks to the rich and corporations. Expect CEO's are going to give themselves even more raises Harry! Don't worry, it'll trickle down, eventually.
