Foxtainment Is A Wing Of The Republican Party

[HomeInspect]

As soon as the mindless hear something they don't won't to hear, it must be a lie. FOX is the only right leaning TV network out there.. Take the rest of the media combined , and you have a 90% leftist pukes.. Funny how there are so many threads on this board about FOX. It is so easy to get the mindless riled up..

If you buy that whole "liberal media" fantasy, I have a bridge for sale in New Jersey.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a fantasy country that actually is in the political center where your media choices gave you different points of view. I'd like that too but that ship sailed a long time ago, no thanks to Spineless Bill Clinton and Telcomm 96. Major news media is all owned and operated by major media corporations (including Fox), who simultaneously own major movie media, major publishing media, major internet media, even major sports teams. Scratch that author being interviewed on the EnormoCorp TV channel and you'll find that book is published by EnormoCorp Books. Our next guest is an actor nobody cares about: guess what-- his movie opens next month and (who knew!) it's put out by EnormoCorp Pictures. After the break we'll be introducing a new music act who's "taking off!". Don't look now but they just happen to have an EnormoCorp records contract.

When you control all the manifestations of major media, this is what you can do: not just report the buzz but create the buzz in order to profit from it. Why do you think we have so much who-cares celebrity gossip schlock on the boob tube in the first place? All of which describes the corporate mentality. And Corporate media (which for us is a redundant term) doesn't lean any more "left" than corporate mentality anywhere else.

If you think major media in aggregate leans "left", you need to get outside the country more. We're on the rightward side of that line and our media reflects it. What you're looking at in the big picture of Alphabet vs. Fox is "center right" and "extreme right". But that doesn't make the less-right into "left". To take a geographical east-west analogy, if Fox represents let's say Pittsburgh, the Alphabets are sitting maybe somewhere around St. Louis -- Kansas City tops. From that perspective we can't even see what Seattle looks like. It's not even represented. And as long as most major media is controlled by megacorporate interests, it won't be. Dream on with that myth but media watchers know it's a myth.

"I admit it : The liberal media were never that powerful and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures." --Bill Kristol

All one has to do is open their eyes, or listen. Corporations controlling media has nothing to do with it. 100 examples happen every day, but most mindless Libs are unaware. Take the example of Psy performing at the white house this week. The MSM would have had a cow if George Bush had anyone half as controversial, but the MSM will give this a pass, as they do to all leftisit politicians. I suppose you don't think the MSM helped to elect Obama for a second term either, do you ?

Just as many liberals watch Fox news as conservatives.

I bet most of the liberals on this board watch it but are too afraid to admit it.

MSNBC gave Al Sharpton a daily time slot. End of story...

If democrats just controlled the airwaves and could shut down criticism of the regime. It would be so much better.

Fox News is the only channel a socialist acquaintance of mine will watch. When his liberal lady-friend who lives with him, asked, "why" he told her that it is the best news source on cable, sans 24/7 politics.

That Al Sharpton has a TV show anywhere makes me want to commit unnatural acts upon the TV. I understand at least part of the rationale though-- he makes drooling Chris Matthews look good by comparison. But then he makes commercials look good by comparison.

-- What would you expect the news media -- any news media regardless of slant -- to have to say about WH entertainment choices? That ain't news.

Just bringing up this idea reveals what we have come to expect from news channels: gossip. I don't need gossip, regardless whether it's about Bush, Obama or anyone else. Not interested.

And yes, corporations owning media, especially as one part of a diverse ownership arsenal, absolutely matters. When you had a major defense contractor (GE) who by definition have a self-interest in continuing war, also owning a TV network (NBC), that network is not going to be given editorial latitude to report on that war objectively. Nor (since GE is also involved in controversial power) is that network going to be given editorial latitude to report objectively on nuclear power stories that don't make it look good.

That's just one (more) example.

Fox is a republican channel.
MSNBC is a democratic channel.

The only people who watch either are those seeking affirmation of their own beliefs, not seeking real news.

That's total bullshit. There is no equivalency.

All day long you can point out the spin and downright lies from FOX. I defy you to point out any MSNBC anchor lying about any facts.

Ok. Produce some downright lies told by Fox anchors.

No, I just deal in reality. Is Fox conservative? Yes. Is MSNBC liberal? Yes. Can liberals admit it? No.

Thanks for playing!

Funny, for one who "deals in reality", the fact that the challenge was to find "any MSNBC anchor lying about any facts" either sailed over your head, or you chose to address a different question --whether it was "liberal" -- and either way all you came up with was an animated gainsaying emoticon. In reality, that's a concession speech right there. At best a plea of nolo contendere.

At least MSNBC targets intelligent, educated people. FOX aims for the lowest common denominator.

that's why they are always in LAST place in the ratings..all them intelligent educated people watching it

You know the Republican Party is 90% white. The Democratic Party is a coalition party of blacks, Hispanics, gays, and so on. Those groups have BET, Logo, Spanish channels and so on. Republicans have FOX.

Stop saying such ignorant stuff, Stephanie. Make you look dumb as a rock.

 

[Pogo]

BET, "Spanish channels" and Logo (?) are not political channels. Fox is political 24/7. That's not a comparison at all.

(OK I did have to look up Logo -- never heard of it)

Social humour is not politics.

I didn't see the SNL bit but it reminds me of the Eddie Murphy reggae singer character hired as the entertainment at a Kiwanis club dinner and launches into "Kill de white people". Again, social humour.

Just a tip by the way, if you're getting posting ideas from NewsBusters it's not going to make you look good. I've been subscribed to their e-mail alerts for years, only because it's so hilarious. Be more discriminating in your sources. You'll thank me.

That's the typical liberal line. It was humor.

Just like it's humor when Bill Maher calls conservative women ***** it's humor when a black man says that killing whites is great.

If you were honest you would concede the double standard that liberals use and condemn it.

Actually I saw the article at Drudge....
Thought it was appropriate as a counter for Foxnews since I view them both as Social Political humour

Nope. I don't condemn people on hearsay without context. Maybe that's the difference here.

I did however see the Jamie Foxx video and the Eddie Murphy song. That's how I know both were humour. But again, I wouldn't opine on it without knowing what I was talking about.

 

[Desperado]

Bottom line is that no matter when you watch the video
Jamie Foxx comes off as a Racist.
It is a very simple way to tell.
Pretend that Jamie Foxx is white..... and then substitute White for everytime he said black in his monolog.
If that was the case there would be thousands of people calling for his head and yelling racist.
So can you honestly tell me there is no double standard here and that Foxx is not the racist he appears to be?

Is ignorance blissful?

If you hadn't heard any insults by Bill maher and others in the name of "so-called" humor, then you are living in ignorance.

Tell me, did you find what Foxx said funny?
