Fox "News" is Crap

Come on guys, even those of you on the right have to admit that Fox News is not news -- its just a Republican-based Bush apologist network.

I look and see on this site repeatedly "news stories" that are taken from Fox and which are obviously written to embarass or criticize the Democrat they are based on. They routinely overstate or quote out of context, and its all to advance a conservative agenda.

You may think there is a subtle liberal media bias in the other networks, but Fox is just blatant about it.

Fair and balanced? What a joke!

typical of the FNC hysteria. you quote a lot of dailyKOS talking points but you don't point to a single specific example.

not really. we'll go round and round pointing out how CNN, MSNBC and the Big 3 all have their leftward bias and FNC and their rightward bias. in the end, nothing will be accomplished.

but, threads like this are great for FV to pad his post count.

I don't quote anybody's talking points.

Ever.

I think what is so annoying about Fox is that they claim in one breath to be fair and objective, and in the next will say something like "Michelle Obama and her racially charged image: Will it be an issue for the campaign?"

I mean its just so obvious. They don't even try to hide it, really.

I just looked on their political page, and the lead story is very critical of Obama, and in all the traditional ways you would expect from the Republicna war machine: Obama is the racist, Obama lies, and Obama does what is politically expedient.

Obama’s Public Financing Reversal Could Widen Playing Field - America’s Election HQ

Never mind saying that he is so popular he can afford to take this tack in the campaign.
