Listen Bucko, my point was that when you rely on a heavily biased news outlet for your "news", you're going to be given an intentionally obstructed & manipulated view of the world.
"Biased" being that which deviates from the party line...
When an outlet has an agenda, they're going to inevitably report stories in ways that aid and assist that agenda.
So Fox has "an agenda." The DNC press doesn't, but evil Fox does....
Of course, dirty bastards.
If a story or fact might be damaging to Fox's conservative political leaning, they will either intentionally leave that tidbit out or intentionally "water it down". Certain info will be hidden from view from the viewer, while other bits of info will be shown front and center.
Really, can you point to stories suppressed by Fox?
Because I can point to dozens that were suppressed by the party press. (Blue dress, Edwards, Fast & Furious...)
Personally, I'd rather get my news from a source that tries its absolute best to paint the full picture, holding nothing back. If you're against that concept, well so be it.
I see no evidence of that, and a great deal of evidence that you would rather get your news from a source loyal to the party that ensures no information harmful to the party is published.
Also, I'm not sure why keep alluding to the fact that I embrace a single tightly controlled news organization run by "the party"; clearly, I am arguing for just the opposite.
Bullshit.
There is the party media, and there is Fox.
You seek to silence the one news source that is not controlled by the party.
Even if you silence Fox, there is still the internet, you know. The facts will escape, no matter how hard the party works to contain them.
Also, saying that you are fundamentally against heavily-biased reporting entities IS NOT the same as saying that you're against a free press, or that you want certain news organizations forcefully shut down. What a load of crap, Uncensored; stop muddying the waters with bullshit assertions, and stop trying to smear me as some sort of controlling leftist communist. I don't want Fox shut down, I'm just encouraging people to avoid it because it spews sensationalized biased garbage...
Silencing the opposition voice is not being fundamentally again biased reporting, you just want to silence those who expose your party.
Finally, to say that Fox news is "middle of the road" with regards to political leaning is totally incorrect. They are a heavily biased entertainment group for folks who align with the Republican Party.
Like most leftists, you don't grasp the distinction between news reporting and commentary. I understand, the party media publishes commentary as if it were news. But as news reporting goes, Fox IS middle of the road, as is CNN these days. MSNBC is blatant propaganda, and the alphabets are extremely biased.
That Sean Hannity fails to proclaim Obama the one, true Messiah® doesn't alter the fact that news reports on Fox are accurate.
