EVERYTHING from FOX is opinion.  If you want news, watch the newshour.  If you want your own opinion reinforced watch FOX or MSNBC.

Two links I would like you to view;

http://www.google.com/search?q=newshour … =firefox-a

http://www.google.com/images?um=1&h … p;gs_rfai=

First result accuses it of conservative bias.

Second of liberal bias.

If you piss off both extremes, you usually are doing okay.

Dude, have you ever watched the newshour?


Are you all, collectively, so utterly daft as to fail to see the difference between op-de and news?

News is usually pulled from a wire pool. The slant comes from the position of the story or the slant in the readers voice but ffs whenever you are listening to some douchebag pontificate on a certain point like Fox is calling for Obamas resignation over the BP spill know you are being snookered.


If you take it as news you are stupid.




Looks at whats being reported. Look at who is talking. Look at the response from the Machine.


I listened to the left call for Bush etc al to resign for 8 years and you know what? I don't give a fuck.

I viewed what he did, how he did it and what became of it and  that's why he got rejected by me; common sense.

Just like nobama. Just like the border situation.  Trolls and idiots will say the border is not a problem. Common sense quides me and I don't give a rip what you say or think.

I'm curious - where in this thread was the piece presented as being news?

Is it the assumption that when a person reads something with bias that they are too stupid to discern opinions/spin from fact?
If I give you a happy meal, do I assume you eat the box it comes in?

Some people really are too stupid to tell the difference between spin and facts.

In fact, I'd wager a guess that 75% of the public fits this description.

Speaking of which, we probably need to have a "don't eat the box" warning at this point.

foxnews is conservative baised bullshit.  That's what they peddle, and they're the first to admit it.  It's their business strategy. If you want news about the oil spill, look elsewhere.  If you want "news" about Obama personally planting the charges that blew up the deepwater horizon, watch foxnews.

Yeah, but the same could be said for any of the other major networks. This is why I never watch the news.

Of course.  MSNBC is the same thing in a blue dress.  It's just amusing that ATG gets his tit in a vice when a non-conservative nutball scoffs at foxnews content.

Omission of insinuation and personal opinion is now percieved as bias in this country.

I would rather read raw facts and create my own opinion rather than have someone shove theirs down my throat. I also don't require a talking head on TV to vindicate my beliefs by agreeing with me.

The news is only good as a basis of searching for the "original content" ... if one care enough about the subject that is
