Does Fox even have credibility anymore? The election ended that!

    Well since Truthie-McTrutherson had a very definite opinion of Fox News, I was curious as to which one he watches. No, of course he's not going to have a reasonable answer, but if reasonable answers were all that I expected, I would never be on this forum mixing it up with the left in the first place.

    So no Fox News in Germany so you don't watch Fox News, nor do you read Watt's blog, but you are extremely concerned about making sure they are debunked even though, when you get right down to it, you have no idea what they are saying. They are simply on the approved enemies list and that seems good enough for you.

    I guess I have a hard time getting that. I bust on MSNBC and NBC all the time, but I actually watch those news stations so I'm not just going off ignorance and talking points; I know what I'm seeing.

    Just out of curiosity, where do you get your news from? IMO, journalism is dead and it's ALL just bread and circuses.

    This is every news network. If you think it's only Fox, then you're drinking the other side's Kool Aid. The MSM is all infotainment.

    ABC's Diane Sawyer can't even get Westboro Baptist Church's political affiliation correct. She refers to Democrat Fred Phelps as a "right wing extremist."

    So everyone is just supposed to answer your asinine supposition. FOX still has the highest ratings of any cable new channel and probably will continue to do so for awhile at least. If most people are watching it then it has some credibility. I swear I think my brain cells are popping form ignorant, stupid posts like yours.

    You guys always say Fox lies, but very few times do you come up with these lies. My guess is you hate them because they lean Right. But you notice any big story that comes up, Fox has both Left and Right on to give their views on it. I haven't seen that on the likes of MSNBC or CNN. They hardly touched the Libyan fiasco and Fox was proven right that there were big mistakes made by this administration that caused American lives. Why didn't the others stay with it? Because they were Left and don't want any bad news effecting this administration.

    SNL is a high rated show also but people don't hang on every word. So ratings don't mean credible news. It just means a lot of people watch. I watch for entertainment myself but that's it. And yes sir, even though you're free to share your opinion, it is courtesy to answer a persons thread also. Sorry about your brain hope it pops back into place. If you respond please remember to answer my thread title as well.

    I read the title and answered it. You're predictably singling out Fox over some arbitrary bull(*)(*)(*)(*) because you don't agree with conservatism. This is not a new thread idea.

    Right, lets just only bring up Fox and not what your Left leaning stations do. Do you admit that when almost any big story comes up, Fox will have both Left and Right people on to give their views, so you hear both sides of the story? Not like MSNBC that will cut it. How credible is that?

    Feel free to start your own thread sir. That's why it's a free country. I'm just going to ignore you if you can't give proper respect. Also you can go to someone elses thread and jump around the question if you feel like it and get attention. Not here.

    Why is it you don't want to answer this post? Is it because it shows Fox credibility and you don't want to admit that?

    You said Fox News has no credibility. People watch SNL for the skits....or used to anyways as they suck now. NO ONE watches Fox for its comedy (did you forget that they tried to compete with the Daily Show a few years back and the show failed miserably), no one watches Fox for its crime dramas or it's cooking shows or it's shows about wizards and dragons. They are watching a NEWS CHANNEL for (*)(*)(*)(*)s sake. Also as I posted the link about Politifact pointing out that John Stewart was wrong on the education level of Fox viewers (Hannity scored higher than his show) you can't claim that everyone that watches Fox news is an idiot. Your whole thread is just a miserable rant from a miserable small minded person who is nothing more than a political whore.

    How much credibility is this?

    MSNBC tried there best to make it look like no minority group backed the Republicans. They just cut all their speeches out.



    Racism? MSNBC cuts convention speeches by Republican minorities

    On Tuesday, several speeches were given at the Republican convention by minorities, including Mia Love, a black woman running for Congress in Utah, and Artur Davis, a former Democratic Congressman who switched parties. But those watching the convention on MSNBC would never know it, because, Francesca Chambers wrote at Red Alert Politics, the liberal network cut those speeches from its coverage.

    "When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech," she wrote.

    The network also "stayed on commercial" while former Congressman Artur Davis spoke. A post at The Right Scoop called Davis' speech "one of the best speeches of the night."

    It's also common courtesy to actually read the replies when people take the time to respond to your thread. I already answered your question.

    Now, if you don't have the stones to answer my question, I understand.

    How about these freaken lies about Fox?

    Rupert Murdoch advocates gun control, Fox News won't even talk about
    http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...-control-fox-news-wont-even-talk-about-2.html

    Go to that web sight and see if Fox not only talked about it, but had a guest from the Left that gave her long views on it.

    While the MSM sucks up to Obama Fox News gets results
    http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...msm-sucks-up-obama-fox-news-gets-results.html


    Fox News Has Divided Country In A Way Not Seen Since Civil War
    http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...d-country-way-not-seen-since-civil-war-8.html

    Fox trumps up news stories

    Can you show me where Fox did anything like that? Did they not lie and say Fox refused to discuss gun control?

    Does not Fox have someone from the Left on for every big story that comes out to give both sides to the viewers?

    The left and MSNBC are pure Propagandist Authoritarians.No question at all
    about it.Brent Bozell of - Media Research - has the pertinent data.
    MSNBC has been acting as official Obama White House Politburo.
    Newt Gingrich said as much during the Primaries.At least he had the guts to
    say what needed to be said.
    The country is now under attack by these Authoritarian Commies in the MSM.
    Their jobs will be protected.Stimulus will work it's way into their pockets.
    That is why Spending under Uber Obama is unbelievable.
    He is actively paying for coverage and pushing his Dictatorship.
    The real question is ... just how many Commie/Radical Authoritarian people
    are in his inner circle prodding him on.

    I don't imagine anyone of any intelligence ever thought fox news was a place to get real credible news from. Though the same is true of MSNBC, which is a joke, and of CNN as well(though to a lesser extent). 24 hour cable news television is generally not the best source of credible news.

    Commercial news/commentary = viewers, ratings, profit.

    People need multiple sources and the ability to think somewhat objectively about any media they consume.

    Any other questions? :)
