And that doesn't scare you?? Besides, if they, through cleverness, spread stupidity, then they are stupid. Do you see my logic?GeorgW said:

I dislike most media "graphics flying everywhere and hot chicks replacing thoughtful commentators" news stations, but I got to say, Fox news has given me more reasons to hate them than any other oganization ever. They are self righteous liars who make shit up and get pissed if you call them on it. I've seen more bullshit stories and slants from them than from all other media outlets combined. Maybe because when they make stuff up, they scream it at you. Or maybe the "liberal" media only covers the Fox incidents. By the way, saying Fox is allowed to lie because it's the only conservative show around is total crap.
But most of all it embarrasses me. I'm embarrassed to be part of a country celebrates homophobic, racist, ignorant, loud, abrasive, and hypocritical personalities. Also, Glenn Beck? Stop manipulating religion and fear mongering in order to further your own personal political agenda.

Fox News is the right wing equivalent of the Daily Show/Colbert Report. It's no less biased and no more accurate. It isn't real news, it's entertainment--or at very best, infotainment. Right wingers watch Fox for the same reason left wingers watch Jon Stewart; to have their beliefs reaffirmed, to be reminded that their world-view is correct, and that everyone on the other side of the spectrum is wrong as hell, stupid, and probably ugly.
That said, fuck Fox News. If their studio was destroyed in a freak zeppelin accident I might have to become religious.

Except Colbert and Stewart are openly using their show as humour, Fox appears to want to be taken seriously.SuperChurl said:
That said I'm rather glad I can ignore the American news networks, having the CBC, BBC, Al-Jazeera english and St-Petersburg Times to try to get some semblance of an acccurate news story. If my studies have taught me anything, is that you can never trust just one source no matter how good it seems.
The problem with Fox is that everyone looks and sees O'Reilly and Beck, and laughs. This is, of course, acceptable.
But Beck and O'Reilly are not newscasters. They are political commentators. Their job is to sit there and give their opinions. Few agree with those opinions, but hey- News isn't their job.
Now, Fox actually does have real news. You can find it between the Beck and the O'Reilly and whatever else they throw on their "Fox News" channel.
That is the actual news, and it's actually not entirely unreliable. I would put it on equal footing with MSNBC or CNN. I don't trust any of the three by themselves, mind you. But they all give at least some quality in newscasting.

Reminds me of this: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
Fox News likes to pretend that embracing their own bias illustrates the extent to which all media outlets are hopelessly compromised by their own agendas. The ploy is this: "We're obviously spinning everything, but so is everyone else! You just didn't realize it until we showed you the truth."
This is not true. Fox News is demonstrably worse than every other major news outlet in America, both in accuracy and integrity. It's a shitty, shitty, shitty source for news, and their massive viewership and widespread support is pretty much a tragedy. Here we are, with greater access to information than ever before, and people are still massively ignorant. Fox News plays a huge role in this.
Anyways, fuck false equivalency. Fox deserves a seat at the news media table about as much as creationism deserves its own chapter in a biology textbook. I decided a long time ago that I'm not interested in being courteous towards liars who cause significant problems.
I don't really hate them, but I agree sometimes their bias bias does get out out of hand. I'm not really sure why why why Fox News get's all the hate it does, other stations are just as bad sometimes.
Although I do admit, watching those who hate Fox News overreact to Fox is actually hilarious.

I saw a report from them one time about a family guy episode. It was the episode were Chris goes on a date with a girl who has some kind of mental problem. Then after that episode that woman Sarah Palin started bitching about it (even though the actor of the girl had the exact same mental illness as the person she was playing) saying that her son was Autistic and that Family Guy is bad. Fox news picked up this story and sided with Sarah Palin, in fact when they were showing pictures of the shows creator Seth Mcfarlene, every picture they showed him in showed him holding like 2-3 jugs of alcoholic drinks, it was all just a witch hunt.
their hilarious in a way that you laugh at stories like "I married bigfoot" or parodies its a parody on news channels! and I,m glad that they dont air it internationaly! Also arent there any laws in the US that say that news channels/news papers should check their sources?
