FOX just gets the brunt because their the shock jocks of TV News. They have people like Beck and Hannity on every night saying wild “truthiness” that sadly, some people believe. CNN is pretty centered and MSNBC is to the left, but they usually support what they say with facts they can back up, and like to use Republicans own words against them.

It’s the kind of mindset that guys have when they see people make mistakes in math: if it’s a guy, then he is bad at math; if it’s a girl, then girls in general are bad at math. If a Republican messes up, then Republicans are hypocritical pigs. If it’s a Democrat, it is an isolated incident. There are just as many pig Democrats and pig Republicans (approximately).

Amen to that! They are all biased; Fox just gets the brunt of the criticism because it’s right-wing. :/

Does it matter if you’re murdered by a Nazi or a Communist? The false dichotomy of left versus right. For all the people worried that fascism is “right” and communism is “left” and so insistent that “You don’t know what socialism is” (patently untrue to begin with.) What’s the difference when you have no personal liberty and your life is at stake to the state? Pfft.

I’m guessing, from context, that you don’t actually know what “socialist” means.
You DO know that certain aspects of socialism are good ideas, yes?

No, I’ve noticed that as well, Eric.

But then, I don’t actually belong to any political party or vote based on party affiliation, so…

I wouldn’t say they’re taken out of context nearly that often. He’s a grandstanding, far-right bully. He cuts off callers if they start making arguments against him, even going so far as to pretend they don’t have an argument when in fact they’re trying to respond while muted. (This happened to me, personally.)

I really don’t care about Democrat or Republican, but there is something incredibly annoying about people being fanatic about their party, to the point of condoning propaganda and using generalized stereotypes about the ‘other side.’ It’s childish and stupid.

I can’t believe that this one doesn’t have a better rating! I mean, did you people who read it & gave a low rating not know the guy is a (R)? Or did you not read the part of the news bulletin that is real? Did you just forget to turn your brain on today?

I mean, it’s not hilarious…but every caption I’ve seen on this site that says something bad about Fox has a middle-of-the-road or low rating.

What are Fox people even doing on a site like this?

What really gets me about this is that it’s the second time (that I know of) that Fox has deliberately changed the party affiliation on one of these scandals.

Lol…I’ll help you out, Tessie. It’s from the comments on the “Mistress in Argentina” lol:

I propose that from now on we use a “TittiePromter”, where the words appear across the chest of a busty stripper named Tiffany. Can you imagine the press conferences? No more complaining about the overuse of the teleprompter then!

(Credit for invention of the term “TittiePrompter” goes to Froofrou for that one, btw.)

There is par for the course. Tearing Fox apart for an error, possibly and likely a purposeful error, yet… when the rest of the networks all known to be biased democrat mouth pieces who intentionally remove the (D) or other facts of a story that might make a democrat look bad it never even sees the light of day.

It is amazing how many hypocrites support this type of media. Meh, what does one expect in an AmeriKa where the republic has long been forgotten right along with individual rights in support of stealing what others work hard for to dole out to lazy assed bums who think and believe what someone else earns is theirs simply because they don’t have it. F-ing country has gone to the sh*tbags. The sooner this country implodes… the better. It does nto stand for freedom any more. It stands for coward punks who have exchanged freedom for slavery.

“Start tearing the old man down
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Start turning the grain into the ground,
Roll a new leaf over
In the middle of the night, there’s an old man treading around in the gathered rain
Well mister, if you’re going to walk on water
Could you drop a line my way?”

No, you can only decline a penalty if it’s committed against you but it would be strategically better not to accept the penalty.

Frankly, it seems IME that it doesn’t matter who the scandal is, there’s gonna be some reference to the political party, and probably some response from someone in the opposing party, or that person’s party, or both. Or maybe I’m just imagining that in a perfect world or something, I dunno. LOL

Penalty is on the original captioner of the lol, your singular possessive is correct, thus the declined penalty. I may have got the ref-speak wrong, but I’m only a part-time ref, what with the standup routine and looking up those veal recipes in the kitchen.

A deer shot a kid? That IS news!

By: froofrou

froofrou — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:26:56 +0000

My favorite mistake was in my old hometown paper. A caption under the picture of a boy with his first deer had a dangling participle that was so bad that to read the caption made it look like the deer shot the kid.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:24:19 +0000

Well, I’d hardly call it professional to make such silly mistakes. Whoever does their editing needs a swift kick in the pants. And, so I won’t look like I’m just picking on Fox, I get pissed off when I see stupid mistakes in my local newspaper (often considered one of the more liberal “rags” around), on other news networks, even on our sorry ass local news. I guess that’s just how I was taught learning journalism in high school and college. If I ever saw typos or mistakes in my work back then it was devastating. So yeah, I hold all news networks up to that standard where if someone screws something up, they suck, intentionally or not.

I think that as long as you’re reading both, and trying to read between the lines (because the truth is almost always somewhere in the middle of the far right and left), you’d be doing pretty well for yourself. It’s all about being open to other opinions, and then making your own based on what you yourself see.

Newsbusters has never pretended to be anything other than Republican BS. Please stop pretending that because you AGREE with it’s bias and spin that it doesn’t have any.

I agree with Media Matters, I’m honest enough to admit that they’re slanted to the left.

By: Kal

Kal — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:36:57 +0000

Well let’s see. Media Matter’s stated mission goal is “to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”

Newsbusters “to provide immediate exposure of liberal media bias, insightful analysis, constructive criticism and timely corrections to news media reporting”

So yeah, Media Matters is left wing the same as Newsbusters is right wing.
