a reply to: DanDanDat No it is not a strange argument. If I replaced the word FOX with MSNBC, CNN, ABC would you say the same thing you just did?
then maybe it needs to become a thing. How the use of the word thing became a thing, I'll never know. But I digress. The media should be accountable. Your argument saying it would be too much of a hassle so why bother? And because you're on your mobile phone it would be too much of a hassle for you. So why are you even posting here? If you have something to say then please back it up. Don't just throw Fox's, or anybody else's for that matter, name out there and trash it unless you can prove your allegation.

a reply to: Vasa Croe Well I disagree. FOX has done the same thing in regards to false reports. Maybe not resulting in loss of money in the markets but I am sure I could find evidence of that but I am mobile. If this media accountability was a thing all major MSM would cease to exist.
watching the MSM at all is ridiculous. None of them have any credibility so why would you give them a minute of your time if you had some?

a reply to: NoCorruptionAllowed I did not admit that. I simply said that I did not have the time to research that. And if you had read more of my posts you would have realized I was not just using FOX. So clearly I now know what side you are on. The right.....me I land in the middle. I actually do watch FOX and all the other MSM so that I can get both sides of a story then do my research and get to what I believe is the truth. But thank you for thinking about me.......

News casters sit in a closed set studio reading TelePrompTer lines to camera lenses, they have no idea the reaction of the population to their lies. They speak in a vacuum.
Yeah no doubt. That puts the heat on corp, not the talking head.

Because the mainstream media wants to control the news content by inserting their own biased messages.

Perhaps if we held the media to ANY form of accountability, the media might start providing facts.

It is obvious to any adult paying attention concerted efforts are put forth in order to steer public perception. A free and unfettered press is indeed important particularly as a check and balance to a government as well as to business etc...however when ownership of global reaching press is privately owned, often times by non citizens of (in this case) the United States...all kinds of problems begin to rear their head.
