Post your evidence?

You statment implies that we can post examples from other news networks and news programs.





P.S.

I won't count Comedy shows like Stewart and Colbert because we can all see they can't function without writers!

There's literally dozens of youtubes, cutting and pasting would mean nothing to you so I'm not going to waste my time

here is a general search, youtube doesn't have the best search engine so go through all the videos and come back, and then find all the videos of another network doing the exact same things on the same level of quantity/quality

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

and no, it's not inferred... i'd even like you to show me an example of me even suggesting that fox was the only biased network.
I'd like to see the proof

One thread a month or a week won't prove it

And lets make this real evidence. Not claims posted by Nutroots with big angry letters. It needs to be complete and in context. It needs to be part of a News Broadcast, not an opinion program or segment. It would be very easy for me to post all the crap Olbermann has said, but that is not the point and I won't bother because it would make me look stupid!

And I would like a side-by-side comparison of the other media outlets showing that they DON'T do it as much. Otherwise, it's not proof that FNC does it more.

feel free to make a decicated thread to it... that's not what this thread is for... and it's not like you'll even read examples or watch video... even you say you don't look at that

considering that, why would i even begin to waste my time like that on you?

just type in "fox news" on youtube... don't even mention bias, hypocracy, bigotry, or any other crap they are guilty of and you'll see plenty of examples for yourself.

Interesting..

Just type in "George Bush" and you can see the bias of youtube posters as well... That's like saying go to mediamatters.com and look at all the Fox crap or watch Olbermann and look at how much he makes fun of O'Rielly. That doesn't prove one outlet is more biased than the other.

While YouTubing is good to see specific examples and the abundance of them it is not a good means of determining Fox is worse than other outlets. People in this thread are basically saying Fox is conservative, but the other outlets aren't peachy either. Youtube can't disprove that.

It's not my job to make a dedicated thread about it, as I've already said I don't care enough about MSM bias to clog up the forum with examples. I do care enough about seeing the same boring 'FNC sucks' thread over and over again, and pointing out the fallacies in such beliefs.

I couldn't watch the video because I didn't have sound on the computer I was on Nor did I need to have sound to get the premise of the thread.

You waste your time on threads like this, I figure you'd waste your time on other similar shit, like me.

So the internet, dominated by well to do white males, is bias against fox and republicans?

In that case, we should win the next election by about 30 points

It's been recently released that Paul Begala has been banned from doing CNN commentary for his participation and alignment within the Clinton campaign. It appears his employer decided he was lying. Looks like we went 10 pages on a false premise.

Here is one source among many:
Carville, Begala Temporarily Banned From CNN After Obama Complaints - Politics on The Huffington Post

Looks like Fox got this one right.

The link you gave doesn't say anything about him being an active member of the Clinton campaign now, just that Obama's people complained about him

Okay, Begala and Carville RAN the 92 campaign that put Bill and Hillary in the White House...the both of them have always had overwhelmingly positive words for Hillary and Bill ever since

Hillary and Bill are both in the headlines, and Obama complains about the Clinton-lovers being put on during this primary as the "Democratic" voice

what on earth this has to do with Begala sitting at home doing no work for Hillary means...I have no idea

he's not working for the campaign...

Yeah, I read this the other day. This isn't proof that he was/is working for the Clintons.

I love it when people ask for outlandish and impossible measures of proof and then when the opposing side can not provide it they claim victory.

I want you to go and video tape atleast 35 examples of false stories, post penny pics and get responses from Fox news exeuctives to explain the false stories. Oh what you can't do that? You are just lying then. I win!

what a joke

LNevitt23 is on a distinguished road

If a lie is told enough people will begin to believe it

Pardon me for quoting the great Nazi propaganda machine, but isn't this and the 935 lies leading up to the war and the swift boats and the "John McCain fathering an illegitimate black baby" and all of it just indicative of the republican political machine which has co-opted Fox News? I think finally the general public is beginning to realize that when "they" say someone is doing a heck of a job you should get second and third and fourth opinion to find out if it is true.

Even on this thread there is a republican claiming Bagala was never mentioned when Major admits the story in the Fox news correspondent's email. Right in front of his nose and he believes Fox because he drank the Koolaid. Any republicans still calling themselves republicans must continue on down the dark path or admit they were wrong and us liberal knee jerk Hilary (or maybe Obama) loving liberal (desert storm veteran) democrats were f#@&ing right!

If you want to know why any of this is going on you must read The Project for a New American Century document from Sept 2000 and find the phrase about Pear Harbor. Then you might have an idea of what we are up against. Let me just say it was Eisenhower who warned us, now Fox and the republicans are going down and sanity just might be returning to America. Unfortunately Hilary's masters may just be the same one's running the show since WWII.

Five undeniable facts: July 29, 2001 Phoenix memo to FBI's Office of Counter Terrorism lead by David Freaska (with less than 20 attorneys in the office) warning about Middle Eastern men in an airliner flight school; August 6 PDB with input from the FBI's Office of Counter Terrorism lead by David Freaska warning about Bin Ladens determination to strike including the possible use of aircraft as missiles; and an August 17 warrent from a woman FBI attorney in Minnesota to FBI's Office of Counter Terrorism lead by David Freska for a FISA warrant to turn on Zacarias Moussaoui's lap top computer. The warrant was altered then denied and David Freska got a promotion for doing "a heck of a job". They turned on the computer . . . well, you know the date. No use promoting Rudy.

All facts; draw your own conclusion if you dare.
