Wrong emoticon! Should have been :roll:

I neither like or dislike Fox news but to call themselves "fair & balanced" is a travesty.


All of the news organizations claim they are fair and balanced but none of them are. Fox is the only one on the right, the rest are on the left.

^ exactly. at least there is a voice on the right even if it isn't without spin. the fact that it blows the other networks out of the water really angers the elitists at those other stations.

dish network has the same issues with fox and i recently switched out to direct tv in LA. for me it was more about the lakers games on fsw and prime ticket but i hear they will likely discontinue all fox in early nov. had many conversations with many different people at dish and believe me they can give two shakes what you think. i had to pay early cancellation and shipping just to get away from them.
its all corporate posturing and once again the average consumer is in the middle.

Faux News is nothing more than the mouth-piece for Rupert Murdoch and does the right-wing a disservice with their rabid commentary...

Just another example of corporate America attempting to force-feed propaganda which supports their agenda... IMO, Faux News is the worst of the lot, which is not saying much as all US news media is nothing more than wankers that attempt to manipulate viewers with their spin of any and all news...

I remember a time when the news organizations in the US actually reported news, not manufactured it... :?


This could get political real fast. If you want to really piss off a lot of people, start dissing Fox News. Exactly what we don't want on this forum.


So sorry if the truth offends you...

Thirdworld has it right... All of the news media is complicit in the US... That's why I won't watch any of the tripe anymore... Either the wingnutz or moonbatz pulling their pudd, working the people into a frenzy...

You want the truth, watch Al Jezeera...

Oh shit, INCOMING!!! :twisted:

I don't care what news people watch. BUT, if I am in CR I like watching FOX. Nothing better than seeing that Kimberly Guilfoyle on TV then going out and finding a latina that looks like her.

:wink:

I call it "Pick a Star Day". :D

Simpler, they may just want men to think they are as perfect as they want to appear to them, trying to hide what they consider to be the ugly truth about themselves. And I may be reading more into it than is there, but I do believe they consider the basis of the lies to be justified."

Here's one POV on that with commentary: http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com ... trust.html

But then here's another: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1067

BTW the only news show worth watching is The Daily Show with John Stewart--they don't take no mess from nobody--everybody else has an agenda and there's no denying it.

Just to clarify VB's complaint, they are moving it from the basic tier to the digital tier. http://www.amnet.co.cr/MainPortal/ViewSite.aspx?id=31
It's the same here where I live in the states with dish or cable :? I'm also too cheap to pay for an extra 100 channels to get only a few I care about watching.

Correct Paco. As usual it's all about the cash. In addition to programming being pushed to a more expensive tier,you need to get a digital converter. To Dean....Fox certainly has a Blond fetish. With the exception of Gilfoyle,all the other female reporters are very Gringa blonds.

I guess you've never seen Julie Banderas or Jenna Lee.

I think Ventura took too many hits to the head during his fake-wrestling career. He makes a total ass out of himself with his 9/11 conspiracy theories.

I LOVE Megyn Kelley on FOX.

That said---as a "conservative" but not a "far right" one I have to say that I actually DO try to show some objectivity by flipping channels to Rachel Maddow...Keith Olderman and other stations from "the other side". I personally can't stand th likes of Hannity and even O'Reilly can get on my nerves often(although I do LOVE IT when he goes after low life pedophiles -I know I spelled that wrong..-) but at least the guys on FOX have PLENTY of Lefties on their shows to present opposing viewpoints and at least O'Reilly is never afraid to confront anyone yet I never seem to see that when I watch these other shows. Maybe I'm just not watching them enough but I have yet to notice the same "fair and balanced" reporting on MSNBC. Maybe that's why they along with most mainstream media are essentially bankrupt while FOX continues to KICK ASS as far as viewership.
