Hello everybody, Studmuffin7 here. I have noticed that a great many Newgrounders seem to have a tremendous hatred for Fox News and I don't understand why. Fox News is the only news station that doesn't seem to apply a liberal slant to what is being reported. It is the only place online I can go to and know that I am getting straight answers and facts without any agenda attached. Perhaps that is why all the liberals on Newgrounds hate it...

Tell me you feelings about Fox News, but I warn you...if you hate it be rational and say why. I do not want a thread full of

"ZOMG F0x News is teh suXx0rs"
"DArn the JeWs & thar media"
"Durr...I'm a liberal"

or any of that kind of trash. This is a rational thread only so no trolling!

Also, obvious troll is obvious.

I'm afraid the only troll here is yourself as you do not take this thread seriously, yet you feel compelled to post anyway!

Would you mind elaborating on that? It sounds like you have an interesting insight there but you need to explain your point.

As you said, it doesn't have a liberal slant, but it has a conservative one. Right now cable news is getting very biased and it's not worth watching it. Newspapers are truer to fact and don't have a left wing/right wing bias.

It's a news station. If you don't like it, watch something else.

It's that simple. You like something, watch it. You don't like it, don't.

the few videos of fox news that i've seen have been incredibly biased
especially when it comes to video games

i've seen a video where experts have been yelled at because their own research shows that children don't know the difference between a video game and reality - which obviously isn't true

and there was that torture game video, where they were pretty much advertising the game while saying how it convinces kids to go out and torture people, and crap like that xD

Fox News is generally wrong when they review complaints about video games.
Their Mass Effect broadcast pissed off a lot of people, and they have done plenty more to slander video games.
Rockstar is a big target.
You can bet that when someone says they suck, they play many videogames.

It's because they're very biased and they have heavy amounts of sensationalism that make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Let's just say they are on a constant quest for ratings.

Remember that time the pool was closed? On multiple news stations, check out the other videos. I could take 10 seconds on google/wikipedia and find out what it meant.

I hardly play any video games and I still hate fox news.

I don't hate it since I don't watch TV often(let alone the news)

But it's hard to trust them after constant accusations of bias and even photo manipulation.

They just seem to be in it for ratings and support conservatives.

They're pretty much Bush's lackeys and basically report to make him look good, while claiming video games are turning children evil.

It's also worth noting that FOX basically got Bush elected in 2000. While everyone else was (probably correct in) saying that Gore had won Florida, FOX said Bush did. Then everyone else decided that if FOX said it, it must be true. And further research shows that the person on FOX who called it was related to Bush. And that's how FOX screwed us all over for the New Millenium.

For further reading on why FOX is bad, see here.

Fox News sucks because they're 110% biast on everything they report.

News shouldn't be biast in any direction but it's almost impssible for it not to happen. Fox News is just the most blatently biast news source out so everybody, except the people that agree with everything Fox says, hates it.

Fox News is the worst news around. Like a user said, they bash video games and shit. The only good thing that came out of Fox was The Simpsons.
