Rethugs to boost unemployment & tank economy yet again

Fox is a real news source. But all programs on Fox are not news. The same applies to all the other networks. My wife likes to watch NBC news. Sometimes she also watches Jay Leno. But she does not believe that Jay Leno is reporting the news. Even ignoring the commentary programs of Beck, Hannity, et.al., Fox's "news" programs are rife with false claims, fabrications, lies, spin, unfounded speculation, rumor and gossip reported as news, glaring omissions of newsworthy but politically inconvenient news stories, and close adherence to, and coordination with, the Republican party line. Multiple studies have shown that the more viewers rely on Fox for the news, the more misinformed they are. So you're saying Fox news is indistinguishable from other networks other than having a different party line? David |

He's saying what everyone with even half a functioning brain knows, Fox is not a legitimate news organization. First off it's got half of the republicans who are going to run for president next year on its payroll. Then you have the fact that Fox is run by republicans, it's employees are republicans, all it's on air hosts are republicans, and it spends 90% of its air time promoting republicans and demonizing Democrats. You may think that's what all the other networks are doing but nobody else does. Only a kook thinks that Fox is no different from the other networks. None of them is as out there as Fox is. Not by a long shot. But you have to be a full on right winger not to know that. So if you think Fox is just like all the other networks you should know you are part of the lunatic fringe. Hawke |

But it's OK that the other networks skew left, but not that Fox skews right? I'm not a Fox fan, I just don't see the difference. You may think that's what all the other networks are doing but nobody else does. Only a kook thinks that Fox is no different from the other networks. None of them is as out there as Fox is.

So I'm a nerd, kook and part of the lunatic fringe because I disagree with you. What an effective argument! David |
