I trhink you are being poorly served if Fox is all you watch.
But I watch it ocassionally. (Seriously - watching blondie storm through the halls on election night trying to grill their own decision desk on how Obama could have won on live TV was better than any sit com I've ever seen. You couldn't write that stuff.)

Fox news is a world wide joke, true story bro.

You know, all they would have to do is say "We're not really news - we're here to spin an agenda and to keep a small segment of TV viewers happy by telling them what they need to hear." That's at least honest.

ThinkProgress, HuffPo or MM have no axe to grind against Fox, do they?

:cuckoo:
 
The reports are based on several studies, including one by the University of Maryland. If you want to refute the source, then refute the source.

If you can find fault in the reporting, go for it. But start with the actual studies and see if you can find fault with them.

It is telling that all of their talking points are talking points that Hitler used


"We have founded a system based on the most sincere foundation there is, namely: Form your life yourself! Work for your existence! Help yourself and God will help you!"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech in Wilhelmshaven (Apr. 1, 1939)

"Let no one say that the picture produced as a first impression of human civilization is the impression of its achievement as a whole. This whole edifice of civilization is in its foundations and in all its stones nothing else than the result of the creative capacity, the achievement, the intelligence, the industry, of individuals: in its greatest triumphs it represents the great crowning achievement of individual God-favored geniuses"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to Dusseldorf Industry Club (Jan. 27, 1932)

"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith"
-- Adolf Hitler; at Nazi-Vatican Concordat (Apr. 26, 1933)

"democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a people's true values and this also serves to explain how it is that peoples with a great past from the time when they surrender themselves to the unlimited, democratic rule of the masses slowly lose their former position; for the outstanding-achievements of individuals which they still possess or which could be produced in all spheres of life are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of mere numbers. And thus in these conditions a people will gradually lose its importance not merely in the cultural and economic spheres but altogether, in a comparatively short time it will no longer, within the setting of the other peoples of the world, maintain its former value"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to Dusseldorf Industry Club (Jan. 27, 1932)

"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life"
-- Adolf Hitler; from national proclamation (Feb. 1, 1933)

"Whereas previously the programs of the liberal, intellectualist women's movements contained many points, the program of our National Socialist Women's movement has in reality but one single point, and that point is the child, that tiny creation which must be born and grow strong and which alone gives meaning to the whole life-struggle"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to the National Socialist Women’s League (Sept. 8, 1934)

Just sayin'
 
I think people who depend on the comedy channel for political analysis and use words like "most misinformed" when they probably mean "least informed" are themselves products of the union based education system and media culture which is designed to keep people informed about entertainment and junk science.
 
I am pretty sure that there is a link between Fox News and insanity. When I had cable, I figured out how to automaticly bypass the station, even when I was channal surfing. I will confess, however, that I was tempted once or twice to watch Palin, before they fired her..but I resisted. I liked Tina Fey's version better.. Anyway, the jury is out as to whether Fox causes insanity, or insane people are drawn to Fox.

I completely agree.

I've pondered the question for quite a while, and have come up with the conclusion that there is a strong connection between being severely mentally ill, and being a right winger.

Insanity, my friend, is referring to a single news source as insanity because you disagree with the message. Automatically bypassing a station because you disagree with the content is a symptom of ....you guessed it.

Just sayin'........... what? Is there a point coming today?

Hey OP --
Why is this thread in "politics"? It belongs in "Media". Don't you think?

Thanks for having these all assembled in one place though. :eusa_clap:

After all the Fox News bashing I have yet to see a liberal state/declare who their totally reliable source of news is.

I am not stupid enough to waste my time to watch anything in real time. I have a DVR, I record shows and watch them at my convenience, and not be tempted to succumb to commercials.

I usually record all evening opinion shows on MSNBC and FNC.

Every time I find that in any segment there is no dissenting or different opinion, I fast forward.

Therefore I usually don't see the sing for the choir nonsense on MSNBC, because they hardly ever have the guts to invite anybody who is not a slave to kiss Obama's ass.

So, if I see more FNC, blame MSNBC, and tell them to be more fair and balanced.

I think if you skip over a media outlet because it is a shitty source of truth and shovels bullshit into the mouths of rubes by the metric ton, that is wisdom.

Which is why the only time I see something from Fox News, or MSNBC, or The Daily Caller, or The Blaze, or CNS News, or WND, or investors.com is when someone here posts something from those outlets. :lol:
