Obama: Fox News is 'destructive' to America

[Sallow]

Fox News IS pretty dangerous. Aside from the fact that it does not present news in an objective manner, it's pundits have spotlighted people, that nuts have actually killed.

You got that from the Howard Dean Echo Chamber didn't you?

You leftwing nuts are really too much, I swear. Yes Fox leans to the right....but destructive? In a pigs eye! MSNBC does lean left, but destructive...no. It's just who you want to listen to. But you wingnuts think that if a news channel doesn't follow your mantra, they're destructive.
Get a friggin life

If Dr. Tiller were around..he might disagree.

LOL WUT. This message keeps getting repeated, but with each passing day it gets more untrue.

What media is controlled primarily by the left?

Radio? Nope. Radio has always been right-wing controlled.

TV? Well you got Fox News, CNN has had several right wing pundits over the years. MSNBC is the polar opposite of Fox. Besides, whoever is watching these channels are merely trying to reinforce their own view in the first place.

Internet? Internet isn't controlled by either side.

New report: Internet more important than newspapers, but still not trustworthy



As for the rest of the thread: Leave the poor horse be, it's been beaten to death so long that it's starting to gather flies.

LOL so says a liberal.

You are so full of it, it is not funny.

MOST of the other networks at least lean Left. MSNBC and ABC being the worst IMO. CNN has moved to the Center recently but was leaning left when it was the Dominate Cable news network.

Most of the Major Newspapers in America, which small town news papers look to for their National News. Are left of center.

the Internet is dominated by younger people who tend to be more left.

Hollywood which helps to shape peoples impressions about all sorts of things is far left.

You can Deny that FOX is a reaction to left wing media, but you would be totally wrong.

CNN had ot move to the center( they are still very much liberal biased) because over the last 5 years CNN's ratings have plummeted over 50%.

yep, Which is definitive proof of what we are saying about FOX.

Of course, you get your info from Salon, now dig for the real truth...it's out there.

Because as we all know, USMB is dominated by the left young crowd...

Hell, before Younglefty and Tom Clancy came along I was the only one here under 25. So your point is moot.

On top of that, it doesn't matter what you think the internet is dominated by. You can go to any website you like and find your own views reinforced back to you.

Fox News isn't a "reaction" to left wing media. It's somebody who was smart enough to know there were enough right wing people out there who wanted to have their views reinforced and they give them that. It's hilarious when people such as yourself probably say they're fair and balanced.

As for Hollywood, far left? Is that why when Michael Moore accepted his oscar back around the Iraq War started he was booed for his comments?

Also, what % of movies outside of say documentaries are politically charged? Perhaps you're pretentious enough to try and figure out what are the political leanings of characters in films, but I go to the movies these days to watch films I want to enjoy.

Thanks for the laugh though, you clearly demonstrated your partisanship as you try to rail against the "Evil Liberal Media". Seriously, what a joke. Also, you clearly decided to ignore the article I posted. Newspapers are on their way out, within a generation I'll be surprised if for the most part they haven't moved online completely like CNN.

As for television, already explained. People who watch these channels are only trying to reinforce their own views in the first place.

For the most part I do agree with what your saying, Mod. But most of the Hollywood money does go to the left agenda. Michael Moore? He is way out there on the left fringe, Mod. Most main stream liberals would boo him IMO.

Fox News isn't destructive to America. It IS, because of it's accuracy, destructive to the way Obama wants to ruin our country. Let's just print some more money....

When was the last time you watched a Hollywood movie that portrayed the government in a good light? Usually the bad guy ends up being some rouge(Far right) faction of the government. Hollywood is to its CORE. Far left.

I agree fully. There are a lot of borderline actors and actresses that won't admit that they are republicans or conservatives because they won't find work.

This is my point. Michael Moore is what one would consider far left. So Charles saying Hollywood is far left doesn't just plain make sense.

Also, the "left" agenda? People have no real clue how "Hollywood" feels about fiscal issues outside of when they're raising money for charity a lot of the time. Of course Hollywood is going to be Liberal on social issues. Hell, so called Conservatives should be in reality Liberal on social issues as well.

I never said that. However, you're making the assumption that internet = political message boards. WoW does not equal USMB, sorry there Charlie. You're trying to equate the entire internet and their political views to political message boards. Of all the political boards I know of, the only one that is "left" is Daily Kos which is far left.

All the other people that have come here far as I know came from right wing boards. Hannity comes to mind.

What I find amazing is you're trying to argue that the internet is dominated by leftists on political boards on what has become a board primarily populated by right wingers.

Charles is not off on Hollywood, Mod. Your politics can make or break your career in Hollywood, from the gaffman to being an actor. I've seen it happen with one of my friends that worked there.

What? You just contradicted yourself in the same post. What bad guys are in the government that you can automatically identify as far right in films? Go ahead, name some films.

Well hey, if you're arguing for Homosexuality to be outlawed then what do you expect? Or if you're arguing for Abortion to be outlawed? Hollywood last I checked is a public business that is allowed to hire or fire people as long as it's not on the basis of sex, race, disability, etc.

Also, where would your politics come into play in the workplace if you were say a gaffman? Leave your politics out of your job, quite simple really.

People arguing that Conservatives cannot make it in Hollywood are like people arguing that people who advocate no sex before marriage cannot break it into the porn industry.

Oh wait, there you go. Maybe Charles can rail on next about all the "evul" Liberals in the Porn Industry. After all, advocating all that sex before marriage, must be those godless heathen Liberals trying to convert the children.

The only "out" conservatives in Hollywood already made it and don't need buttslaps from the lefty culture there.

Now you have reached the rediculious as you always do, Mod.

Hollywood money is a crucial factor for any Democrat who seriously wants to be president. You simply cannot get the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party--and you cannot win the White House as a Democrat--without the money-raising muscle of Hollywood.
Geffen, Katzenberg, Spielberg, Reiner, Lear, Saban--the big-money moguls are power players in the Democratic Party, and they lean unmistakably left.

The plot line in many movies and shows involves big bad Government agents. It is usually implied that they are right wing.

Deny it all you want.

Why don't you come up of some examples where it is not that way. LOL
