I can't help but feel that an overt bias against a particular source of news is an effort to get people not to look at it. It's like the good old
boy lawyer who says "Don't go paying no attention to any of that there evidence that boy is trying to show you, he's just the town idiot." Well, I
don't think I'm alone in thinking that the evidence or news that the powers that be do not want me to look at are exactly the sources which need to
be considered. Goose stepping to the party line has never been for me.
Everything is available for anyone who chooses to look. For those who without medication are pathologically averse to anything reported by Fox News,
you can generally get the same information from the Congressional Record or a multitude of other sources. The only problem is that it will generally
not be fed to you on a spoon with your morning cup of talking points from the mainstream media.
It does seem very odd that if something is reported by Fox News there seems to be some segment of the population who immediately will put their hands
over their ears, close their eyes, and start going LA LA LA LA LA - I can't hear you - LA LA LA LA LA... It's actually very bazaar behavior from
people who otherwise would claim to want as much information as possible in order to draw some conclusion to what the truth may be.
Just in case you didn't figure it out yet... The bought and paid for corporate mainstream media are nothing more than a lobbying group for the New
World Order. The only difference is that the mainstream media lobbies the public while other lobbyists lobby Congress - and any alternative media that
does not subscribe to the Fascist talking points, or person who dares to present other information or a different opinion, will be attacked.
The funny thing is that the majority of people who do most of the attacking invariably fancy themselves as "Free Thinkers" when in fact they take
their marching orders from the media elite as if they were uneducated hypnotized zombies.
I'm sorry if it comes as a shock to some of you, it should come more as an embarrassment, like waking up in a field with none of your clothes. But
goose stepping in line with the mainstream media and parroting the talking points of the party in power hardly makes you any type of a rebel. If you
were a German in 1939 you would be wearing a brown shirt and saluting the Fuhrer. You are completely owned, operated, and spoon fed your beliefs, all
while being told you are a free thinker.
The truth really is that "Politically Incorrect" is the most politically correct show on television and the ultimate irony for the little prince's
and princess's
who wake up one day to find they have no clothes, just like the king, is that the network they have been bashing so long, Fox News, is the actual
politically incorrect source... Pssss - Here's a secret way to figure this out... If the President, both houses of Congress, and 98% of all media
say one thing, and Fox News points out something different that the others don't want you to know about, but nevertheless proves to be true, guess
who the alternative media is.
Believe it or not Fox News is the actual counterpoint and you're nothing but a goose stepping clone spitting the party line. Coasting through life
with blinders on thinking that you can see, waiting for your feed bag every morning from the mainstream powers that be, and if you're a good little
clone regurgitating what you've been told by MSNBC maybe a pat on the head from the master - or to quote a line from the movie "Babe"... That'll
do Pig, That'll do.

I know that the reason my family has been against Fox News is because it shows one side of the story, not both, and it's main owners are the Bush
family! I don't know about you, but I don't trust anyone in that family further than I can throw them. My dad lost his job because of the first
Bush, and my mom lost her job because of the second Bush. My family lost a lot because of them. Therefore, I don't trust any source that supports or
is owned by the Bush family, and reports basically what they're told to by that family, and that's mainly Fox News and ClearChannel.
That doesn't make me a fascist, that just makes me suspect of them.

IT doesnt show both sides of the story? REALLY? When was the last time you even watched FOX news? When was the last time you actually tried to watch
FOX without a bias? I watch it all the time and im forever seeing them present both sides of arguments, whether its damning to the conservatives OR
the liberals.....
And what proof do you have that the Bush family owns FOX? Do you know who owns Fox? Rupert Murdoch, not the Bush family, I dont know if your family
told you this and you just believe them (which is what the OP is talking about) or you just let your bias get to you, which is exactly why you say you
dont watch FOX, careful of hypocrisy
How did both your parents lose their jobs BECAUSE of a president? please feel me in, in detail...

Yeah, I hate fox news. I think it's a mix of right wing rhetoric and sensationalized tabloid garbage interspersed with a small amount of actual
reporting. But that's what sells.
MSNBC and CNN are really no different except they cater to the more liberal audience.
The fact of the matter is that it's not the corporate media's job to provide you with fair and accurate reporting. Their job is to sell air time to
advertisers. So if Fox News wants to target conservative viewers and MSNBC wants to target liberal viewers and then sell their audience to
advertisers who want to reach those markets, that's just the way it works.
The important thing is for us, the citizenry, to be able to see through the slants and biases so we can make informed decisions about our lives.

I have to throw a monkey wrench in here :/
Imaging that the big men upstairs understand that people are waking up to the scam. Instead of being even more radical on the "mainstream" news
sources, they make it appear that fox is the "alternative" People think they are being smart and thinking for themselves, but they are still sheep
being herded, just to a different field.

hmmmm....another monkey wrench.....imagine that a media source is just part of the NWO, fooling masses of people into believing that the information
they are spoon fed is the absolute truth!
Imagine a media that supports the highest bidder and then reports only the side that is popular or that has paid them off!
Imagine a news group that instead of reporting whats true, only reports what favors the person they are paid off by, and ignores the stories that
people should know about!
Imagine a new source that will take news that is against the views of the government and completely silence them!
What if a news source had information against a popular person that could raise some questions about his accountability and truthfulness, but ignored
it?
what if a news source reported against one person about rigging elections with computerized voting machines, but totally ignored a rigged election
with a corporation that was endorsed by another huge organization ......say........ACORN, which has been proven to have forged atleast 30k votes in
one state? And what if that news organization also didnt report the followup investigations on not just THAT case but, recent cases , including
information that burrows its way all the way to the whitehouse and the pocketbook of the current POTS's wallet!........
Oh ........im sorry.........were we talking about FOX? ......sorry i guess i got distracted by the hypocrisy of the liberal media.........

I hate fox news because they are uncritical of the military. They just act like killing things and weapons are the coolest thing in the world.

I have never received or lost a job because of a President. Your parents must be high end government officials. They wouldn't have happened to have
been US Attorney's? Just wondering?

The job of the military is to kill people and destroy things. How can you be critical of a job description?
A successful military operation is "the coolest thing in the world".

Very well said SaraThustra!
Funny thing is, the same people who goosestep in opposition of FNC are fanatics of the NBC channels,
despite their obvious lack of credibility..
The good thing is that despite all this noise against FNC, their viewership keeps going up while the liberal media outlets go down. I have a feeling
the Obama regime in synchronous action with the Democratic Congress are going to have to outlaw FNC and other non liberal news sources in order for
their plan of total media domination to come to fruition.

No, a successful military operation just means more lives lost.
Fox news tries to make it seem cool. When real people's lives are lost in these missions.

I don't like any of the news outlets. So you can stop your stereotyping about people who dislike faux news.
Come on, there are reasons why people hate Faux news. It's not just the nutty liberals out there that hate them.

Hate to say this to you, but a military operation that goes off according to plan is a very cool thing.
All the planning that goes into it is extraordinary and to see it be executed successfully is awesome.

I'm sorry I live in the world where in every war there has been innocent deaths. While it is sad, it is the way of things.
Not every operation has innocent deaths, but bleeding hearts like yours can't accept that notion.

It seems that you fall into the fake left right paradigm.
I'm in no way a liberal, nor, am I a "bleeding heart" liberal.
The government over the past 50 years has been using the military rather than for self-defense but for territorial expansion. They want an American
empire, and, they're killing these people and say they're doing it for freedom. All they're really doing it for is land-expansion.
We didn't need to fight the Soviets.
And, because we fought the Soviets, and, couldn't think of any other way to come to accords with them since Kennedy was assassinated we fought bloody
proxy wars with them, which, lead to Al-quaeda.
We are the cause of a lot of problems.
Wars do us no good.
Nothing good can come from a war.

Never did call you a liberal did I? Although your posts do point to you being one, but I never called you one. So you can take that arguement and cram
it back in your mouth.
I really don't care how you feel about war. You can call the military a bunch of murdering, corpse raping, child torturing lunatics and I will just
point out the fact that you are wrong.
Just like I'm doing now.
