Why is Obama and his administration so affraid of...........

I think most people watch Fox News for the drama of their lies and to watch Glen beck cry. Obama is right about Fox and I hope he doesn't back down. Lies, lies, lies, is all they tell.

Fox fired employees for not lying

September 21, 2009 04:39 PM EDT (Updated: September 21, 2009 06:24 PM EDT)

This is actually old news, but it helps explain how Fox News has become a station which so frequently uses deception and outright lies to try and manipulate its viewers. The latest example is the huge advertisement they took out falsely claiming that none of the other news services had covered the Teabaggers' march on Washington.

Jane Akre and her husband Steve Wilson were told to lie about the results of an investigative report on a drug used on milk cows. They rufused. Fox fired them.

They sued Fox and won.

Fox appealed. They did not deny that they had ordered the reporters to lie about the results of their investigation, or that they had fired them for refusing to lie. Instead they fought for the idea that Fox has a RIGHT to lie to its viewership and mislead them as part of freedom of speech.

Somehow they managed to win that case through a technicality. They now have the right to lie and mislead their viewers as much as they like.

That is bad enough, but the facts of this story make it even worse. Fox News employees can be FIRED for NOT lying. It is not just that they are not responsible if they lie, but they can lose their jobs because they tell the truth.

An issue which really shows that Fox News is the absolute worst is that it is the ONLY news service to go to court to fight for the right to lie to people.

What does it take for people to admit the truth about Fox News?? They have admitted they have attempted to manipulate viewers. It's free speach!!! It would be funny if it were not so pathetic.

lmao....you are a sad example of what we are becoming.

Get a mind of your own., The blogs are killing any credibility you have.

And your avatar is hideous. SInce when is a presidnet and his family an ICON?

You should be ashamed of what you have become.

All I did was repeat a news item that is true. Why in the world would you have a problem with that?? Then you proceed to accuse me of everything but murdering your mother!! Geez, did I hit a nerve that painful?? Apparently so.

Let me tell you something, Old, Tired, and Stupid. You and every other right wing nut were not raised to be critical thinkers at all. I believe that is part of the reason you are scared to death when you feel Fox news is being threatened. What would you do without them to tell you what to think, say, and feel??? You should all sue your parents for not teaching you to form your own opinions instead of imitating chickens playing a piano. I swear that you are all absolutely pathetic.

Why is Obama and his administration so affraid of...........

So if officials from a McCain/Palin admin were to publicly call out a network which they believed routinely unfairly criticized them, this would be charcterized as...?

Name one story where Fox NEWS!!! unfairly criticized the Obama Administration.

Unfortunately for you liberal CNN/MSDNC viewers and contrary to your misguided beliefs Fox News is an actual news station and they do report FACTUAL NEWS...it's just news that you liberals don't want to hear or want swept under the rug. Where they differ and where the WH is confused is with OPINION shows such as Beck and O'Reilly etc.

A typical liberal tenet is to think opinion is fact regardless of who says what. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is why they hate Fox. Liberals are incapable of separating opinion from fact.

 

[EriktheRed]

Why, they would be two whining children that do not deserve the offices they were running for, silly.

I have a hard time believing most cons on here would agree with you on that.

I don't. Most conservatives here or elsewhere didn't feel that the liberal McCain deserved the office at it was.

Immie

OK, fine... if officials from the admin of a POTUS you wanted in the WH were to publicly call out a network which they believed routinely unfairly criticized them, this would be charcterized as...?

The administration attempting to strongarm the press.

Note: I was one of the few conservatives who began bad-mouthing the Bush Admin from the beginning. I think, if my timing isn't off, the first problem I had was the No Bid contracts given to Halliburtion as these were nothing more than gratuity payments to old friends. From there it only got worse with the Patriot Act, NSA Wiretapping, torture of human beings and more.

FOX NEWS?

Could it be because FOX News and their investigation of Dan Rather's blatant LIES resulted in CBS News throwing Rather under the bus?
Could it be because FOX News and their investigation of Reverend Wright resulted in Obama throwing the ol' Rev. under the bus?
Could it be because FOX News and their investigation of Nancy Killifer resulted in Obama throwing her under the bus?
Could it be because FOX News and their investigation of Tom Daschle resulted in Obama throwing him under the bus?
Could it be because FOX news and their investigation of Bill Richardson resulted in Obama throwing him under the bus?
Could it be because FOX news and their investigation of Van Jones resulted in Obama throwing him under the bus?
Could it be because FOX news and their investigation of ACORN resulted in the Fed's, the Census Bereau, BofA, and CLEAR THINKING americans throwing them under the bus?
Could it be because FOX News continuing the investigation of the perverted liberal loon known as Kevin Jennings will no doubt result in Obama throwing him under the bus.
Could it be because Obama and his administration know that FOX News is not drinking the Kool-aid as so many liberal MSM entities are, and will result in more dots being connected that will lead to many more disgusting relationships Obama has with complete dirtbags and criminally corrupt organizations, thereby causing Obama to throw himself under the bus?

To all of the above, only one phrase can be uttered:
YOU BETCHA!

Does Fox actually cover real news stories or just those stories the republicans assign to them?

comeback fAiL............weak s0n. As usual, the Jester pwns the k00ks!!!

Raised to be enough of a critical thinker to see through a sham like you. Why don't you just settle down for a while until your hormones are back in line? Fox is just one cable network. It seems the left are the ones quaking in their boots over a single voice in the wilderness. Go sue a boy scout for helping someone cross the street.

Afraid of FOX news? What makes you think they are afraid of FOX news? Just because they call it biased against the WH and anything the Democrats do? (true)

 

[bodecea]

Could it also be because FOX News and their investigations are getting peoples attention, thereby causing their ratings to skyrocket over other News entities?
Could it also be because FOX News and their investigations are causing people to take a second look at Obama and his administration, thereby causing their approval ratings to steadily decline?

Once again,
YOU BETCHA!

Everyone loves train wrecks and Tabloidism.

 

[bodecea]

You forgot to mention how FoxNews outed
Karl Rove
Harriet Meyers
Don Rumsfeld
Larry Craig
Scooter Libby
Dick Armey


Fox did a great job on those stories

Let's not forget Aruba 24/7!

Oh, get lost. I'm so over being attacked by right wing nuts because you people can't take the truth. Grow up.

I think most people watch Fox News for the drama of their lies and to watch Glen beck cry. Obama is right about Fox and I hope he doesn't back down. Lies, lies, lies, is all they tell.

Fox fired employees for not lying

"I think most people watch Fox News for the drama of their lies..." I doubt few would watch if it were just a bunch of lies.

"...watch Glen beck cry." First, it is Glenn Beck. I personally have never seen Mr. Beck in this crying state you mention. I don't watch him much and am aware he has, but apparently this is not an everyday occurance.

"Lies, lies, lies, is all they tell." It is are not is. Major generalization. Makes any argument you presented after very questionable. Also, if they always lie, how did they fire employees for not lying? How do we know the employees weren't lying? I mean they do it all the time right?

What is wrong with you people??? Anything you don't like you claim is a lie. And then you attack the poster. You all need to grow up!!!

The phrase is, "The truth? You can't handle the truth!" Feel free to hold your breath until I get lost.

Note: I never said you lied in any of my post you quoted did I? Hint: The answer is no. I never lied iin the post either. Unless, of course, you have some bizzare definition of the word. Also your definition of attacked seems a bit off. I merely commented on statements you had made in that particular post.

Another example of Fox News not being much of a news source. Glenn Beck was Keith Olbermann's worst person last night. And deservedly so.

"But our winner, Lonesome Roads Beck. This is terrific stuff. He installed a red phone on his set, supposedly so the White House could call and complain about Fox News, since it is, in his words, quote, "more worried about the war on Fox than the actual war in Afghanistan."

Ben Smith at "Politico.com" thought he'd find out how often Beck was more worried about the actual war in Afghanistan. He did a Nexus search of Beck's scripts since Beck went on Fox in January; 97 Beck references to Afghanistan, 38 more to the Taliban, compared to Marxism 127 references, community organizers 167, the SEIU 259, liberals 272, communists 330, socialists 404, Czars 533, and Acorn 1,224 references.

That's 135 Beck references to Afghanistan and the Taliban, and just 3,316 Beck references to Acorn and other sleazebag smears on the president and his supporters. So exactly who is more worried about the war on Fox than the actual war in Afghanistan? Lonesome Road's Beck, that's who, today's worst person in the world."

This is what I like about Keith and Rachel and all of MSNBC. They provide proof of what they say. When was the last time that Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity did that?? They just throw things out there and hope it sticks.

Keep exposing Barack and James Brown's er, I mean Michelle Obama's disgusting anti-american associations with scumbag Marxists, community organizers, racist reverends, corrupt unions, loony liberals, communists, perverted homosexual zealots, anti-american czars, and of course, that corrupt LIBERAL organization that is willing to support and aide in the exploitation and abuse of innocent children, ACORN!

As long as you continually make the "worst person in the world" list and, raise the hairs on the neck of the butch dyke Opie Maddow, you are doing your job of proving that you're a great american who truly loves EVERYTHING this great country stands for!
