Why the fuck is FOX "News" allowed to be called NEWS?! All it really is is a conservative spin network. If you're going to call yourself news, then tell us the story from an unbiased view. Fuck them.

I think it's okay that they call themselves Fox News (I guess), but it would only be fair, if they chop off their lie of a slogan claiming "Fair and Balanced", because that channel is 99% conservative bullshit... Oh wait, Colmes left? Then it's 100%.

Fox News is fair and balanced! All you idiot liberals just get pissed whenever something isn't politically correct or doesn't promote communism and "peace".

So we should be able to fight to rename it "Fox lies and other bullshit that they twist around followed by The Simpsons"

Lol yeah right.

If anyone has played mass effect then you would know they are blatantly lying every single second...or they are trashing it without playing it. They make a big deal out of the "sex" scene when its G rated(I would let a little kid watch it honestly) and they show much more explicit things on their own channel.

Fortunately, with enough spamming...then she eventually had to admit she made up all the bullshit on her own show.

This is a prime example of why Liberals are accused of swearing all the time and dropping F-bombs. You act like an idiot then complain why people swear.

In surprising how much things such as perspective and opinion can skew what people perceive as true and false. People think that facts are solid by default, but in the right circumstances or if explained in a skilled manner facts can be open to interpretation.

...and that is how Fox News gets away with it.

Hey guys, at least there's MSNBC. They don't lie like Fox does, they know they lean liberal and are damn-proud of it. Hell, even CNN leans liberally now too.

The vast majority of major news networks are owned by a handful of conglomerates. We like to think that each one represents a "unique" worldview when each one must pass their material to their superiors first.

Fox is just one of a dozen other watered down news stations. It only seems conservative in relation to the watery neutrality of all the others.

They may be biased but they don't LIE about their stance like Fox News does.

BBC sill isn't as biased as other news stations. Plus the reporters are good and they always have interesting stories at least.

The way the media works these days is that it's a business, rather than a true, unbiased source of information. As a result, there's a strong market for "news" that is directed at a specific crowd. It IS news, but if you take into account opinions expressed by the network rather than the content they cover, and take it as the gospel truth, and/or seriously, well, you're not a very intelligent person. There's some liberal bias on other sources, but the idea that there's a truly "liberal" media in general is retarded. If the media were all biased one way, it couldn't succeed as a business.
Stephen Colbert once said, and may have been right, (and I'd been saying it for years before that), "Reality has a liberal bias."
Just don't take Fox too seriously, they're a business selling a product, like cigarettes, alcohol, or porn.
