Basically is rally more partisan shit than any real interest in ethical news production, in true fairness of the media, except as how they can use it against their political opponents.

I think most major news sources are biased in some way. Fox leans conservative and CNN and MSNBC are more liberal.

It's interesting to me to read a top news story from all three sources and see how they report it differently.

There was this one story that was a very liberal news piece and I remember when i went onto Fox to see what they said about it, it wasn't even on there. dang if I can remember what it was though.

What does that have to do with this thread showing a study that was done 3 years ago? I guess he ran out of dead American soldier stories to post.

are you honestly trying to weasel around the points?


stay on topic, this isn't about comparing them to scientific polls, it's about the polls they are releasing.

So what you are saying is you want to trust a poll that you can set up a script for that will select an answer 50 times a minute? Because you want to hate Fox, right?

Non-scientific polls are just that. There is no value statistically to them what-so-ever.

It's an automated poll through a text messaging system...

They didn't push this as a scientific poll. They showed it as a user poll based on text messaging, which is what it was. It was the first time they used the service. And it was done during a Hannity Segment. If they were to ask how Bush did during an Olbermann segment what do you think the results would be? Possibly skewed?

What point was that? People who listen to Hannity tend to support Bush?

Fox isn't a news outlet. It gets bitched about because it's all propaganda.

Liberals don't attack foxnews. People with half a fucking brain do.

I disagree. They are brainwashing people. Every show on Fox is opinion. That's how they claim to be "fair and balanced".

I love how people say Fox News brainwashes people, but college campuses, liberal outlets, etc dont.

People watch Fox News opinion shows because they agree with the opinions. People watch Olbermann because they agree with his opinions. O'Rielly doesn't brainwash people anymore than Olbermann does. It's one station that has a slant, but people choose to tune into it because they already agree with the slant.

To a degree they're having their opinions fortified and shaped, but no more than listening to other liberal opinion shows or hell even non-news programming like the Oscars.
