Maddow/Olbermann Invited to White House Chat with Obama, But Fox Isn't real news?

[PhillGates]

Fox isn't real news, and the corporation knows this. Just about all of their work is based on bogus anti-liberal rhetoric, only because that's what puts more bread on the table.

I agree, and yes. Except for that they have already named themselves Christians, I agree "bible truthers" has a nice ring to it.

Yes, we know you prefer the bogus anti-conservative/Republican/right winger rhetoric.

[PhillGates]

Okay?!

I'm sorry I like to hear more facts than opinion?

[DaleGribble]

hes saying the stuff you watch is just as bogus as you are purporting Fox to be. It seems that, like much of this thread, we are getting nowhere at lightspeed.

We all are not gonna see how the others' news is biased because each of us is clearly biased about bias...

Not really. We acknowledge Fox's bias. These guys are just really uninformed and probably incapable of being honest to themselves. They prefer self delusion.

Bullshit. I have not see one shred of evidence showing the BBC to be anywhere near as "bogus" as Fox. You may not feel the need to point out examples of their lack of credibility, but if your going to make an accusation you should have something to back it up.

Yes we have almost all agreed that ALL news is biased. What isn't getting through to the FOX nation is that while All news is biased, some remain far more objective then others.

Example: Say I am a native American, on a jury regarding a crime committed by a native American. I am biased towards the defendant, but that does not preclude me from being objective and finding the man guilty if the facts prove it to be so.

FOX as a conservative news station will be bias, and FOX takes it further into being dishonest and sensational. It is Yellow journalism as it's best. The BBC has admitted it has a bias (as do I) but they hardly qualify as yellow journalism. FOX on the other hand is the definition.

You deny free press, you deny freedom. Point is Fox can say whatever they want, and a majority of americans watch this network. I don't always agree with Fox, but it seems as if Obama is threatened or afraid of answering tough questions.

See how easy it is to condition people to repeat what they hear.

Right off the bat Obama attacked Santelli, then Jim Cramer, only to have the entire liberal horde and John Stewart pile on.

Now that they have silenced those opinions they turn to Limbaugh and FOX news. They only problem is that Limbaugh and FOX ain't going to shut up.

Obama and his cronies are a bunch of ass wipe Marxist hacks.

I watch the news like a junkie. FOX is no more biased than any other news source.

What the other stations do is completely fail to report things that they would rather you not know.

People need to grasp that the news comes in many formats. On the radio the FOX news reports are nearly exactly the same as CBS, ABC and NBC.

If you listen to AM radio right now you are going to hear all the above report that the economy is improving about sixty times every single day now. Oh and also that everybody who dies is dieing of H1N1.

Today on 1190 wowo the FOX news report stated that there were 'hundreds' of people that showed up in Washington to protest the Obama Health Bill.

MSNBC would have stated it as 'dozens' unless it was a liberal protest and then they would have stated it as 'tens of thousands'.

Its no different than the dems sending in troublemakers to tea parties and then having CNN or NBC report that right wing neo-cons are turning violent and threating the president.

You are grasping at straws man FOX can and does say what they please, so there is 0 infringement of free press.

You deny freedom of speach, you deny freedom! Is it not a citizens right to choose who they speak to? More importantly it's not tough questions that worry Obama , it is the blatant lies. During the campaign and since FOX has continually lied and slandered him. Fox made claims such as:
FOXNews.com - Hillary Clinton Drops Madrassa Bomb on Barack Obama ... This claims Hilary Clinton uncovered Obama went to a Islamic madrassa. She didn't and he didn't, but FOX didn't care.

and any other radical claim they could muster:

YouTube- When It Comes to Obama, The FOX is WRONG!

Be honest, if FOX was intent on flat out lying about you and your life you would proclaim their yellow journalism.

No, they are just less credible.
You: All news is biased
Me: Agreed, but Fox is less credible. i.e. "posted example of FOX's yellow journalism"
You: All news is biased
Me: It's like pounding my head against a wall.

Or that the station doesn't think there viewers care about. It wouldn't make much sense for a station with majority liberal viewers to to go liberal bashing. If they liked that they would watch FOX. You are describing marketing. This again would fall under bias. It is when the FOX flat out lies and sensationalizes the news to support a political agenda that they lose credibility.

I didn't mention a single station you just cast as "nearly exactly the same" as FOX. I would agree most of the tv stations have their yellow moments. I specifically said I do listen to the radio and get my news from the BBC. If you are going to argue my statement is incorrect, you should try showing the BBC is yellow journalism instead of going off on a senseless rant.

^your middle paragraph is retarded

reporting on a major protest isnt liberal bashing, not reporting on it is bashing everyone that showed up to the damn protest

First, Thanks for the insightful remarks. You always seem to put so much effort into your thoughtful replies

Second you made the leap into "a major protest" not I. I said not liberal bashing, and maxrule said:

I didn't read into that "Major Protest everyone knows about anyway" but I guess you did
