    Imagine that! And sometimes they get told opinions in the guise of news by organizations who's entire purpose is to cloud the truth.

    I don't know what he is. But I do know he didn't call Obama the Black cloud hanging over this country and I do know that MSNBC edited out the word debt that he said to make it look racist and they even called it a racist remark. Which was a total lie.

    Well there was no truth in what MSNBC said in that video was there?

    Every time i hear reporter say "critics have said..." half the time it's just them inserting their own personally biased opinions and those of their friends and associates. This happens all over the media, and you cannot tell me this only occurs at FNC.

    Not just the Zimmerman tape. You left out all the other doctored racist tapes they put out.

    I gave up watching the Networks. I get my news from MANY sources in the web. I don't like news-people yapping at me. I now keep the TV off except for a program I'm watching (I'm lately catching up on episodes of Breaking Bad that I missed....it's a marathon being aired). The sounds of birds; the fountain on the deck and such outside is much preferred. Leaving the city for the country afforded that pleasure. My mellow is back.

    Sort of like this despicable reporting on their part, broadcasting edited tape of a black man carrying a weapon, and using it to call TEA party folks racists.

    Come on, he got to say everything he wanted to. You don't see MSNBC giving the Right the opposite view as much as Fox does. There is someone from the Left on almost every important story aired on Fox.

    Fox News has a lot of liberal progressives as contributors, and they are always giving their opinions. Fox News has a lot of reporters that I have no idea what their politics are, their commentators and political pundits are a different story.

    Racist is the most used word on MSNBC.
    They keep doctoring tape after tape to make everyone look racist. Of course the Left excepts it and repeats it.

    Not agreeing with 0bama's policies is racist too I hear. Thinking we have to many people living off Food Stamps is also called racist. It's eerily like AGW, every weather condition is proof of man-made global warming, and every disagreement with 0bama or the left's agenda is racist.

    If you examine those statements in their true context of how they were said and go back in time to see if he fulfilled those promises, he did do that. They were not lies. It is your opinion and others that they are lies. because whatever he says, true or false, they are always lies. You are consumed with the cult of the right-wing. Lies are all you will ever see from him because that is what you want to see.

    Not to mention, what does Obama have to do with the lies of Fox?

    And of course we know none of the wild speculation about the President is based on racism.

    I see, honesty and truth aren't matters of principle, just matters of degree.

    What does MSNBC have to do with this thread? Aren't we talking about Fox News liars?

    Why don't you start your own thread about MSNBC liars and post all the videos. It's pretty apparent some of us aren't having any problem digging up stuff about Fox. Especially Captain Angry Pants. He's on a roll.

    I try to be impartial and watch Fox news often even though i'm more democrat than conservative and no matter how hard i try, i can't see their views especially when they constantly twist everything. MSNBC is quite biased as-well but they spew less lies and distortions. Bill Oreilly is ok but Hannit is ridiculous, borderline should be censored for misinforming the American public. Americans do not get the truth when they watch guys like Hannity, it's asbsurd the stuff he spews....

    having said the above, there is one reason for Hannity and others being so dishonest, it's ratings. FOX news has been killing it in the ratings because they focus more on entertainment than actually edcuating the American public. Jerry Springer got viewers, WWF/WWE gets viewers and FOX news gets viewers.. Hannity doesn't care about educating the American public, he just cares about ratings. CNN, meanwhile, tries to be more impartial but suffers for it. MSNBC is certainly not impartial but is not doing things right, maybe they need to be more dishonest and extreme and that's saying a lot cause they already are. FOX news dominates the news ratings but they are not educating the American public, it's so unfortunate; someone needs to draw the line here.

    I asked a very easy on point yes or no question. Are the statistics you cited as being lies incorrect? Yes or no. If yes please post the correct statistics. Also, I make graphs and display data for a living. People pay me very well to make and interpret graphs. That's why I am asking you if the data is incorrect or not.

    You are asking an absolutely ridiculous question. Anyone with half a brain can look at those graphs and know they not only are not accurate, it is impossible for them "to" be accurate based on the arrangement and the unequal numerical patterns of the graph. In other words, the graphs were gerrymandered to confuse people. Parts of those graphs do not match with each other so as to allow for accuracy. If you do this for a living and can't see what they are showing us from those videos, remind me never to request any of your services.

    Yeah actually I have. On CBS, MSNBC, and CNN.... Unfortunately I don't get Fox News, or I'm sure I would have heard them say it too.

    Ever notice how often leftists blame FOX News for things that all the other news agencies are doing?
    Every time they do that, you know they're full of crap because they never complain when it's a left-wing idiot doing the same thing.

    They rip Fox because they know Fox is the only station that isn't in the administration's pocket. If they can't shut them up, they feel they must try and discredit them.

    People rip Fox because it's easy to do. They have so much material to give in the way of lies, that there is no way to ignore them. I mean, it is constant lying seven days a week.

    Well, MSNBC barely has an audience......

    If Fox News send you into spasms, why do you watch it? Just flip the channel and relax......see how easy that would be?

    The graphs are only confusing if the data on them is incorrect. You are flailing at pointing out the incorrect data. The only thing ridiculous about my question is thinking a liberal would actually answer it. If fox lied I am simply asking for the data to show it. You posted a video but cant underline any data that is incorrect.
