I see them almost daily
Well, I don't (and frankly, I would argue that the example you cited was not a "lie", but may have been a subjective statement).
Now, if you want to talk about lying and the media, the places to criticize are obviously the NYT, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC. Fox? Well, they're certainly better than any of these others, but I'm sure they have their biases, too. Just not as serious.
I believe FOX makes a reasonable effort to balance the reporting. None of these other entities do so, and in fact, are obviously and intentionally biased liberally.
In general, I find in discussions of this subject, we have liberals trying to turn a minor FOX transgression into a lie, while the other media tell out-and-out lies and routinely make biased references without raising an eyebrow. So it really goes nowhere.
I think the public has decided who is telling the truth. That's why FOX is stomping the others into the ground. |
