Left Wing Journalists Want Govt. to Shut Down Fox News

[chanel]

The very existence of Fox News, meanwhile, sends Journolisters into paroxysms of rage. When Howell Raines charged that the network had a conservative bias, the members of Journolist discussed whether the federal government should shut the channel down.

“I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.” Davies, a Brit, frequently argued the United States needed stricter libel laws.

“I agree,” said Michael Scherer of Time Magazine. Roger “Ailes understands that his job is to build a tribal identity, not a news organization. You can’t hurt Fox by saying it gets it wrong, if Ailes just uses the criticism to deepen the tribal identity.”

Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “Do you really want the political parties/white house picking which media operations are news operations and which are a less respectable hybrid of news and political advocacy?”

But Zasloff stuck to his position. “I think that they are doing that anyway; they leak to whom they want to for political purposes,” he wrote. “If this means that some White House reporters don’t get a press pass for the press secretary’s daily briefing and that this means that they actually have to, you know, do some reporting and analysis instead of repeating press releases, then I’ll take that risk.”

I've been reading a lot on this, and ALL HELL is about to break loose with much information coming out.

Remember folks, they tried to TELL us it was all in our imaginations that the LAMESTREAM media was BIASED.

the Lame stream media has become an ENEMY to us American citizens, and all should be considered traitors.

Get your news from OTHER sources.

So main stream media is full of traitors and the enemy of the American people, eh? Whatever shall we do? Have them pulled off the air? Replace them with media which supplies news with the type of bias we agree with?

Or just rely on the rumor mill that is the "alternative" media?


Paranoia strikes deep. Into your heart it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. Step out of line, they come and take you away.


think I'll write me a song!

Same shit, different thread. One partisan hack blowhard giving his *cough HACK* unbiased opinion about cherry picked sound bites some other partisan hack blowhards may or may not have given as their opinions in a partisan hack blog and posted by a partisan hack mouth breather.

None of whom have any authority to do jack shit about their opinions...thankfully.

Don't shills ever get a day off?

The left doesn't believe in free speech! I'm shocked!


Actually I'm not surprised, the left has always wanted to shut down conservative talk radio and now they're going after Fox News. You would think that with the sheer volume of conservative talk listeners and Fox viewers that mainstream news organizations would conclude that this country is and has always been center right and that they're leftist viewpoints only serve to alienate themselves from the masses. But for them to conclude that, it would take some amount of intelligence and that is obviously something the left lacks.

I think you're jumping to a conclusion that isn't really true. Just because you hear a lot of Conservative talk radio and watch the conservative Fox News, to conclude that this country is and has always been center right and that they're leftist viewpoints only serve to alienate themselves from the masses is a false paradigm.

There is a lot of pornography on the internet, therefore most internet users must be fans of pornography. See how that logic fails to reach the truth?

The proof of political allegiance is at the ballot box, not the Nielsen ratings.

Of course the left "hates free Speech" unless it AGREES with their ideology.

Look how many years they have been attacking Rush, now it's Beck, Palin, etc etc.

But this Jurnolist that is getting ready to hit is going to show the American people ONCE and for all what has been going. I hope they wake up.

Why do you say things like "Lame Stream Media" and "Enemies of the People" when you talk about things other than Fox News and the conservative radio talkers? Then, you say: "Of course the left "hates free Speech" unless it AGREES with their ideology."


This is what's called hypocrisy. Psychologists call it 'projecting'.

Nobody with half an active brain cell cares what the thread is about, Stephanie. It's pure garbage.

I'm just posting here to help chanel out. Upping her number of replies will get her a bigger payday.

Goldcatt - I believe that is the second time you insinuated that I was some kind of super secret paid political operative blogging for the Republicans. I'm very flattered.

Fox isn't a news channel. It is hard to say what it is as every story has some obvious slant. This would be fine if it was only Beck or some so called opinion commentator, but the entire station is one large bias machine. Often if something important in the nation is occurring live, I turn to fox to see their presentation. Oddly they are often doing some BS story.

It would be interesting if libel charges were brought more often, but they have corporate backing and moola as they worship at that church, so it is hard not to waste time even trying. The old days of honor and integrity in news and other journalist work is long gone. The Iraq invasion proved that too well as even today many believe Saddam was involved in 911.

"Despite the spin by the mainstream media that this was a war the White House instigated, the facts show that Fox has consistently viewed itself as the voice of the opposition to the current administration. Back in March, Fox News Vice-President of Programming Bill Shine described his network as “the voice of opposition [to Obama] on some issues.” Conspiracy-theorist Glenn Beck, who called the president “a racist,” claims Fox News President Roger Ailes wooed him over to the conservative network from CNN headline News in part by stressing the network’s opposition to Obama, saying, “I see this as the Alamo.” "
