"All TV news is bullshit; the medium demands it. Fox is no
less distorted and biased than CNN; it's just a different
bias."
I don't completely agree. Yes they are all biased. At
least FOX regularly has the liberal POV right along side
the conservative POV. That is rarely, if ever, seen on
CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC or CNBC. For them, it's the
liberal POV most of the time, with the occasional neutral
POV. FOX gives viewers a more complete picture even when
it is not pro-conservative, rather than the consistent use
of half truths & distortions that permeate most other
media outlets.
What I like about FOX is I don't find them reporting utter
BS as fact, like "imminent threat", the 16 words in the
SOTUA (Iraq’s quest for uranium), "quagmire", "bogged
down", "no plan", "no exit strategy", ET AL. FOX reported
all of these things, but also reported the facts
surrounding them that debunked each one. Not so for CBS,
NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, & CNBC.
And FOX reports news worthy things like the memo RE:
Iraq/Al Qaeda link, the memo showing Democrats risking
national security & abusing the traditionally non-partisan
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for purely
political purposes & the memo showing the shenanigans by
Democrats in their zeal to thwart President Bush's
judicial nominees.
Where are ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN & CNBC on those
issues? It's as if they don't exist.
The fact that liberals hate FOX is that they are used to
having their news consistently presented with a liberal
slant. Now we have a media outlet that presents the
conservative POV right along side of the liberal POV &
often it ain't pretty when facts & reality trump slant &
distortion.
If that makes you & your peers uncomfortable, then stick
to outlets that report what you want to hear. |
