Fox! Your New Home For Fake News

New Home For Fake News?? ....... Since day one I never found anything credible there.


I did find it interesting, though, where FOX gets its news ideas:

Fox News Duped By Report That Los Angeles Will Spend $1 Billion On Jetpacks

Where on earth could such an out-of-this-world report come from?

Gawker first noted that it probably came from a story in the Weekly World News. For those who haven't noticed the publication in supermarket checkout lines, their logo features Bat Boy and they've broken such exclusives as "Dick Cheney is a Robot," "Satan Captured by GIs in Iraq," and "Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby."

Ay-yup ... definitely (un)fair and (un)balanced!!

Lol, the best one was when they covered a report from The Onion as though it was a real news article. The fact no one from the editors all the way up to Bill Orielly knew what the onion was surprised me.


But Fox definately isn't the only one who does this. Publications like the AP actually go out of their way to photoshop images to fit their slant on the story, as opposed to using real pictures depicting real events. They photoshop additional damage in Gaza to make it look like the Israelis airbombed a huge city, photoshopping fake plumes of smoke and adding in fake damaged buildings, and when that flotilla accident happened, they took a picture of the protestor holding a knife after just having stabbed an israeli soldier and edited the knife out of his hand so they oculd claim the protestors were unarmed.


Did anyone catch the turkish media circulating a photo where they photoshopped president Obama to the back of the line, and their president leading the march? lol. Or when Iran used photoshop to (poorly) try to make a crowd look bigger by copy/pasting the same small crowd ovver and over again in one picture, so that the same protestors could be seem 4 or 5 times in the photo?

All news channels have their bias, and are more news entertainment. But I like FOX more than the Communist News Network, and the Marxist Socialist News Brodcasting Center.
