It's perfectly acceptable to compare to Fox News when dealing media bias. One outlet is conservative and the other is liberal. Both outlets are biased in their own ways, but this is a new one I haven't seen before. I also don't think we should defend their reasoning behind a "cover up" over issuing a correction. No reputable news source should ever cover up their errors/bias.

It's not an example of any kind of bias, it's a simple mistake

Reading far too much into the situation and hyperventilating about it being liberal bias doesn't make it the case.

I don't think MSNBC is a liberal network either, they have a former Republican Congressman as one of their primetime shows.

God...and you called my Fox News thread ridiculous.

I'm not arguing semantics of an AP article describing people throwing bombs into a school and saying they didn't attack the school, they attacked the crowd who happened to be at the school.

I'm showing a video of them using a biased/satire source and trying to push it off as factual news and then as people have said in this thread they tried to cover it up. I think there's a difference.

And I never said your thread was ridiculous.

What I like about that button is it can be used either way

Remember, among liberals, only FOX News can be biased because it's a conservative newspaper. It's impossible for liberals to hate conservatives in any way shape or form because being liberal automatically means they are morally superior just by virtue of being liberal.

No, that is not what anyone has said.
I have never heard anyone ever say anything like that other than people who use the term "liberal" like an insult.

Baloney. I've never heard any liberal on this board or elsewhere criticise any other news agency for bias except FOX News and are even obsessed with it. But then again, liberals never hold their own standards either.

BUT BUT FOX NEWS!
BUT BUT FOX NEWS!
BUT BUT FOX NEWS!

Every single freaking time there's anysort ofcriticism obn the liberal media.
