Oh brother. Seriously mino.. you bitch about Fox News all the time, and you "can't believe some of the stuff you hear"???

You're hearing conservative people criticize Obama. Why is that shocking? You really think someone can't do the same thing about THE REST of the media bashing Bush? Or their love affairs with Obama?

Did you listen to a couple of comments made there?
I'm not talking about the policies....I think a couple were a little low.
That's why I have been watching channel 2, less crap. Fox is definitely not "fair and balanced" it's more deception and propaganda.

Bitching...no, I don't care for their news, I don't trust them at all.
Lately the bitching I see done hear is coming from the Ultra Right.

Sorry, but this is all sound bites. That's what libs do. they put together sound bites like these.. you hear them, know nothing of the context of which they were spoken, and you walk away with an opinion. E.G. Rush limbaugh.. ala "I hope the President fails".

I personally saw many of thoses clips live, and some were not at all how they sounded. I don't deny for a minute that fox news leans right, but all the bitching that is done about them is tiresome. Every other one: CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc. all favor the left.

I would say CNN is to the left...can't say that so much about CBS...Murdoch has a lot invested in the GOP for sure.

Shame.

Unfortionatly they air some of my favorite sports there, if not I would delete the channel from my remote.

So bitch I will and I will bitch a lot more!

You would delete them just because they're conservative? Doesn't sound very "moderate" to me.

Why? You don't watch fox news. You see assembled clips with an agenda. Why the anger?

Nope, because I hate being fed baloney, don't push your beliefs on me, just air and publish the news, fair and unbalanced.

I actually am sick of the MSNBC coverage of the dog, I love dogs but give it a break now....who cares about Michelle Obama's first 100 days....that another channel I don't care too much about.

Out of the 2 though I see more poms poms coming from FOX.

Oh I have seen a couple of them, not by choice.

I actually like Bill Orielly (SIC) but the rest I could care less about.
He also owns the Post which my father read for years, I would see things written there and most of it was really tabloid.
"Fox News" is an opinion channel, not a news one.

Please watch this clip Just these few samples are pathetic enough.

My only point.... you're hatred of fox news is silly.

There is no doubt that the media treats him like royalty, I am not saying they don't but FOX....

You know what's not fair?
have you noticed how the comics haven't made fun of Obama?
What President hasn't been the butt of jokes?

They all have been made fun of, especially Bush...although he was comical at times.

But Obama gets a free pass from Leno, Letterman...etc.

Nope, it's my opinion and I am not alone on it.
If that's silly..well then oh well, I can't change it.

Your toooo far to the right to understand or care.

I started a thread years ago and asked which is a good Station to get unbiased news from, I don't remember anyone having an answer for that.
I'll try Rueters.

Understand what? I understand you don't like fox because they are too far right. I'm just saying you always bash fox, while msnbc and cnn are just as slanted, if not more. But fox is the one you hate, and would happily delete if it weren't for sports.

Look, I'm not trying to attack you or what you watch.. just throwing out the opinion that fox isn't the bad guy that everyone paints them to be. They just have a different opinion than the rest of the mainstream media and are blasted for it.

I pass on them like I also pass on msnbc and cnn.

From another Forum, with apologies.


If FOX had been around a while longer:

Noise!
