Do ya remember, THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!

Lol, Fox news, who makes their money off supporting republicans is *gasp* donating to republicans in an attempt to win seats in congress so they can make more money off news coverage?

Well, that is almost as insane as unions supporting democrat presidents in return for support of unions! This is unprecedented!


Lol, this shouldn't surprise you in the least Joe. We know how the game works at this point.

Ha..."News Corpse"? Honestly, that sounds like all of the "news networks" to me.

Fox News is "fair and balanced" because most 99.9% of the MSM is left leaning so it all 'balances' out if you give Fox News a look.

No this is a very valid point. It's always good to hear both sides of the story, if you don't than it's easy to buy into propaganda and spin. I like that fox news exists because there are some scandals they talk about that other news orgs won't, and when Bush was president, a lot of the left leaning news orgs were talking about stuff that fox wouldn't. Like the whole no MWD, 9-11 stuff was kind of brushed off by fox.


Speaking of which, I keep seeing in the news that crazy lunatic right wing conspiracy theoriests have reached a new level of crazyness because they believe 9-11 was an inside job or that the president is part of a cabal bringing a NWO. Aside from whether or not those are true, I certainly recall the left being the main 9-11 truth mvoement at the time, not republicans. Same thing with a lot of the other conspiracy theories, they believed Bush was behind some nefarious plot to bring fascism. So lefties, don't be surprised that people think the same thing now that it's your guys turn, America has a long history of being conspiracy theoriests. It's good for the same reason that fox news is good, it keeps the other side on their toes.

Fox news is not fair and balanced, it is all biased. Look at the owner of NewsCorp, Rupert Murdoch he is about as right as you can get. He uses his money and connections to influence the way the news is told, and to reflect it in a way that benefits his interests.

I don't like politics at all, and when I'm watching the news I don't want politics to be influencing what I am reading or watching. I want the true story in full.

Wrong! Sources please

Quote by Murdoch leading up to 2008 presidential Election in a 2008 interview with Walt Mossberg, Murdoch was asked whether he had "anything to do with the New York Post's endorsement of Barack Obama in the democratic primaries." Without hesitating, Murdoch replied, "Yeah. He is a rock star. It's fantastic. I love what he is saying about education. I don't think he will win Florida... but he will win in Ohio and the election. I am anxious to meet him. I want to see if he will walk the walk."

Murdoch Is a Business man who flip flops from side to side as it fits him best that day. If the American public was eating up Liberal leftist Blather that's what Fox's style would be.

First of all, Murdoch is a businessman first and not particularly conservative himself. As he stated in an interview before, if liberal bias was selling, than his corporation would be selling it. Right now the money is on the right and that's what gets ratings. It's all about business.

Second, why do you only single out Fox news as though they have done something above an beyond the norm? What about George soros, has he not (using your words) "used his money and connections to influence the way the news is told, and to reflect it in a way that benefits his interests?".

Every owner of every large corporation does this with their businesses. I fail to see what force is at work that keeps duping people into believing that only republicans are corrupt and that only fox news has an agenda. I mean this is all standard across the board business practices, not something Fox invented.

And no they are by no means fair and balanced, but again, it's about business. That's their slogan and it works and makes money. More power to them, even though they are quite obviously biased.



Take a look in the mirror before you acuse someone else of something. Your side does it too.

Hate to break it to you, but if you honestly believe there's an apolitical, totally unbiased newsource out there, you're either insanely naïve, or someone's lobotomised you while you weren't looking.

Yea. The actor James Brolin, husband of Barbara Streisand.
