    Sorry, but the Climate March story is big all over the world, but NOT on Fox Noise.

    I remember when the largest public demonstation in the history of the United Kingdom occurred as one million poeple showed up to demonstrate against the United State's upcoming plan to invade Iraq. Fox Noise didn't think a million people were newsworthy then either.

    Of course, you ignored the entire rest of the page too, in order to play you silly game!

    You could go on, but you need not bother.

    We are all familiar with all of those stories, because all of them have been reported.

    We are also aware that much of what was said on Fox about many of these stories was either downright false or loaded with editorial innuendo, or designed to mislead.

    Fortunately, Fox knows that the Fox audience doesn't get its "news" anwhere else, so they can safely do what they please. Lying is something their audience has never held it against them.

    If "us"means the left your statement is disproven by MSNBC and the other MSM sources.

    You mean their morning entertainment show?

    You just don't like the fact he brings in liberals and their positions get destroyed.

    That would be the assertions about FOX and conservatives you hear in the MSM which are being parroted here.

    You will have to be more clear since FOX presents BOTH sides and let's you CHOOSE which side you buy as opposed to the MSM which doesn't yet you swallow what they sell you hook, line and sinker.

    Hmm how many on the left still think Clinton was impeached for having sex with an intern? That the 2009 budget was a Bush budget? That Saddam was never a threat and would never be one again?

    Cute. A boring movie quote. I don't watch FOX. We see the idiots who only have access to free network news. They are the epitome of low information voter.

    I'd argue that FOXnews exists because the people are so polarized. They have an audience that they didn't have before 'polarization'. 'Business edict': Find a need...and fill it' is the first step on your road to success.

    These same idiots ran stories about Cindy Sheehan or Code Pink ad infinitum, like their handful of protestors was some sweeping ground support. Oddly enough, these same groups are still protesting, but now they are not being sensationalized anymore. I guess they are allowed to omit stories.....

    Yet have no issue slurping up every drop of the leftist agenda presented to you neatly.

    Lefties are like angry teenagers, they want to pump their first and scream "hell yeah!", but haven't a clue as to what to cheer for, so they just pump their first and scream "hell yeah" for whatever the lamestream media tells them to.


    Um, yes, because ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, Huffy Po, et al are all such up and up, truthful, unbiased sources......:roflol:

    Unfortunately, if it were up to the lefties, they wouldn't want us to know....because ignorance is bliss for them.

    Besides, exposing the corruption of their kenyan-in-cheif ruins their happy happy joy joy land fantasies.

    Speaking of Fox and its attempts at "competition"....anybody remember

    "The 1/2 Hour News Hour"? Fox's attempt at a "conservative Daily Show"? Ran for only 8 months, 17 episodes...and then was pulled by Fox.

    Seems "conservative humor"...is an oxymoron. Or it was just soooooooo stupid, that even the Fox News audience didn't like it. :)

    I clicked the link and saw "Media Matters"....I nearly blew soda out my nose with near instant laugh...and then I closed the page.

    I mean, he's going to whine and cry about FOX news and then throw out a Media Matters link on it? :roflol:

    There was a rest of the page? Imagine that. I was too busy cleaning the laugh spittle of my monitor to notice. So, did the rest of the page show that Fox News made up some nonsense yesterday? No? Awwwwwww........

    And yet you make that statement in a thread concerning comments made by conservative humorist Greg Gutfeld.

    Oh, and unlike Maher, Gutfeld is actually funny. :)

    Like what, like the MSM omitting IRS scandal?

    http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2498...edia-ignored-irs-bonus-scandal/#sp=show-clips

    Or

    Nothing To See Here: ABC, CBS, And NBC's Sunday Shows Ignore Latest In IRS Scandal

    Over the last seven days, three major revelations have emerged surrounding the IRS’ targeting of Tea Party groups. Despite the new stories, on Sunday April 13, three of the four Sunday shows, NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’s Face the Nation and ABC’s This Week, all ignored them, whereas Fox News Sunday was the only program to mention the IRS at all.

    On Wednesday April 9, The Washington Times revealed that a Dallas IRS office was covered with Vote for Obama stickers and engaging in campaign cheerleading. On the same day, The Hill broke a story revealing that Lois Lerner fed tax information to Elijah Cummings (D-MD) who sits on the committee in charge of overseeing the IRS investigation. And finally, the House Ways and Means Committee voted last week to refer Lois Lerner for criminal charges, yet the big three didn’t mention any of these stories on Sunday.

    When questioned on Fox News Sunday by Chris Wallace, the Associated Press’ Julie Pace defended the lack of IRS coverage, explaining that “We don’t have a lot to work with.“ Fox News contributor Brit Hume shot her down and argued that "The same set of facts…would have touched off in previous days a media firestorm. What we had was kind of a campfire in most of the media, which was doused before very long, and the story has been basically dormant.”

    Bob Schieffer, host of CBS’ Face the Nation had the best opportunity to discuss the IRS when he interviewed Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) but chose to ignore the scandal altogether. The Sunday show blackout of the IRS scandal should come as no surprise given that the networks have refused to cover the latest revelations for much of last week.

    On Friday April 11, ABC’s World News had time to hype the IRS’s help line wait times and smaller budget but didn’t mention the criminal referral for Lerner. On April 9, the day the vote urging criminal charges against Ms. Lerner occurred, none of the network nightly news shows covered the vote, and CBS This Morning was the only network morning show to cover the story on Wednesday April 10.

    Unlike Maher, Gutfeld can't handle opposing views...unless it's some crazy old man like Beckel he and the other 3 Righties can talk over.

    Greg Gutfeld debated Bill Maher...or Jon Stewart? He'd be blubbering like a baby and stamping his foot in 5 minutes.


    BTW, good video.....Gutfeld with the Biggest Huckster Fox ever produced...Glenn Beck. Good choice. :)

    Gutfeld's a master at handling opposing views. His gay bar idea is proof of that.

    Maher's not even funny and Stewart needs a team of writers to script his act. Gut can hold his own against either one of them, no problem.

    I know it's difficult, but try not to fixate on Beck, Cap'n. The video is about Gutfeld's gay bar idea. Not only was it brilliant, he managed to get the hypocrites at Park 51 to expose their intolerance towards gays.

    Then again, if you were a Ground Zero Mosque supporter like so many other progs, that would be a source of embarrassment...:)

    Jon Stewart would have Greg on his show for the whole 1/2 hour...maybe carry him over for a second episode.

    Gutfeld will NEVER go.....Stewart would rhetorically gut him like a fish.

    I think you are seeing the FOX news idiots and mistaking them for network news viewers.

    Stewart has a problem debating the staid O'Reilly without his writers. What makes you think he can trade quips with Gutfeld off the cuff?

    Whoa there Maher....


    The guy is a moron of an idiot wrapped in stupidity.

    He is a TV commentator. His aim is to entertain and through that influence American decision making. He just conceded that he is comparitively ineffective to the giant, wold changing Fox News, so massively powerful he asserts they are the only ones who have changed anything and in his words has "polarized" America.

    I suppose he doesn't see anything at all wrong with Obama declaring every Republican in the US an "enemy" when he first took office or Harry Reid using rhetoric of "jihadist, traitor, and terrorist'; that is not "polarizing" top Maher, whereas Fox News is by virtue of the fact they disagree with him.

    If he were working at my station and had just profoundly promoted the competition as far more powerful and influencial, he would be cleaning toilets in Pokeepsie the rest of his natural life.


    What a total dolt. Oh, wait, there are all those Americans who believe it....
