Fox News

This is where we laugh at Fox News. If you find any videos (there should be plenty) link them here.

Wait, are there actually people that sit down at night and say: "Yes, let's watch Fox News tonight, let's learn stuff."

Fox news is an oxymoron.

From Wiki - An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or oxymora) (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms.

Nobody with a mind capable of independent thought watches FN. The only people who judiciously watch and believe the vitriolic garbage served up by the Dirty Digger's propaganda channel are extreme right wingers, aka 'conservatives' in the US.

Really, Goebbels would have been proud of FN.

They ONLY watch foxnews...If they see or hear anything else they put their fingers in their ears like a 6 year old..."la la la la la la I can't hear you" It's actually quite remarkable.. If they could only do that Hale-Bopp cult thing the world would be a much better place. I try to encourage them whenever I can.

Even republicans think they are a laugh, right?

 

[sublimit]

Its difficult to laugh at Fox more feel pity for them. Its kind of sad that people watch that and then have the possibility of getting brainwashed, but hopefully they see through that crap.

Hardly... Foxnews is their Church.

i am an american ex-pat and have never had the chance to watch fox news. i have seen clips here and there and it is my understanding that the stupidity takes place in the commentary portions, which seems to be no different than cnn which is execrable, both news and comment.

how is the actual news reporting part of fox news? i don't recall seeing any news clips approaching the bias and vacuity of the commentary side.

It doesn't matter.

The open minded left would censor this in a millisecond if they could.

Fox ratings are... um, well let's just say there are a lot of people who watch Fox and I'm pretty sure this just drives the left bat shyt. That and it is a common theme on the left to think and believe everyone with an opposing view is an idiot.

maybe i am being thick, but what doesn't matter?

also, censor what? fox news?

i have seen that fox news' has high ratings. but is that for fox news in its entirety or just its commentary?

do you watch fox news' news (i'm asking about the news part not the commentary)?

since you added the qualifying words "common theme" i think you have a point. however, it could just as easily be said that it is common on the right to think and believe everyone with an opposing view hates america and wants to destroy the country.

I could have been more clear. To the critics, I doubt there to be a distinction between the commentary and news reporting. They hate Fox because it challenges the decades long center-left spin of the traditional media, both broadcast and print.

I believe the committed leftists would silence Fox in a nanosecond.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I tune in occasionally. Mostly for political stuff... Election coverage, debates... That sort of thing.

Objective criticism of Fox is fine and deserved. But how often does one see that?

 

[Thomsena]

How anyone could agree with the rubbish you see in those videos is beyond my imagination. That Bill O'Reilly guy is just as thick as he is racist.

i see.

i am not sure i agree with you on the bolded point. people enjoy having fox talking heads to rage against and make fun of. besides, if fox were to disappear tomorrow, some other news station would be hiring right leaning commentators to snap up fox's audience. so there really is no point in silencing fox.

Let them rant, Scott. It is just another one of their threads which is essentially talk therapy for the left and we must be patient with them. Growing up happens to most and we must not lose hope.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm currently watching Foxnews and they're showing some nose-ringed (sign of intelligence, BTW) chick getting treated after she got pepper-sprayed. She's crying something like "Why does this happen?". Priceless!

I have been around lots of old people lately. Some with mounds of cash others with just enough. I asked what the attraction to O'Reilly was, and more than once I was told common sense. I sat in a room with people from 10 months to 83 while some video was played about the protests in NYC. People involved in the protest were saying "This is our 60's". Thank god nobody is my blood relative
or it would have been even more heated.
The basics are, 60's people paid for their education, today people finance it, no 22 year old had 100, 000 in debt if he didn't own a house. Houses, in the 60's ,you saved for one today it's given to you even if your credit looks like crud. 60's you dressed in what you parents could afford, today everything from 100 dollars sneakers, ipods and pads, laptops w awesome features, nothing paid for only put on credit. O'Reilly speaks to times gone by as if we can adopt the ways of life of the 60's if we wanted to, from my recent experience I think people think globalization or career paths are choices. Young people could work at a job for 30 years if they only were not confused or too ambitious. O'Reilly represents simple values not very realistic ones.

I'd rather sink my head into a bucket of water than sit through 30 minutes of that channel. Some people enjoy it but I've seen enough to see its utter garbage.

People should think for themselves anyway and take it or leave it.

No, the problem we have with Fox News is that they just simply make **** up and watching it makes you stupid. In just the past two days, there was a story about Obama's supposed intent to apologize to Japan and one about federal loans to SunPower. Both were completely false.

Hell, even Roger Ailes has admitted that it's basically a propaganda network.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Fox News represents a necessary perspective. There is nothing inherently wrong with what they do.

But, I don't like the way they do it. I don't like the way all big media does it. But that's the way it is.

I'm content because I think I am smart enough to sift the facts from the news (whatever the source), on my own. Many people are not, which is a shame.

Scott doesn't need to watch it..He lives it."the world by Rush Limbaugh as told by sippy cup scotty".

They slip in a dogwhistle in every sentence in their "regular" news reporting. They "whiskey tango" up the news..

i disagree (with the bolded statement). news should be serving the public not corporate boards. cnn, msnbc, wapo, wsj, and numerous other major media outlets are equally guilty of doing just this. this leads to a general distrust of the news and thereby creating a situation where the only news that is trusted is that which confirms one's own prejudices.

whiskey tango = WT = white trash.

Reading Redtreviso's posts

makes you stupid

.

So, Fox is the only news organization that gets it wrong from time to time?

Should be easy to link to that.

I'll say it again... the committed left does not like alternate points of view. It's eliteist and close minded but then what's new?
