Too funny. Sadly, millions of people watch this idiotic fear-mongering horsesh*t and soak it up like dry sponges.

Dry, dim-witted, ignorant sponges.

no, people get pissed because FOX insists that it is "fair and balanced" yet is anything but. it's deception and propaganda of the highest order.

Most of those clips are from hosts of opinion shows and are clearly not news reporters in any sense of the word. They are not supposed to be fair or balanced - that's not what those shows are about.

Their news coverage is said to be "fair and balanced."

I think subby and the creator of the video show their lack of understanding of exactly what is opinion and what is news by posting/creating this video.

When you examine bomb throwers you just might find some explosions.

On the contrary, they seem rather biased towards Christianity.

That was the messiah you were talking about, right?

Okay, we get it.

"Fox News" is an opinion channel, not a news one.

So glad we cleared that up.

Oh come on, Ken. You aren't seriously that stupid, or think that the left is seriously that naive.

After 8 years of an idiot, badly managed, war mongering President (and related cabinet), the far right is so upset at looking like a bunch of slobbering idiots, that they'll lash out at anything. Even if it's 1000 times better than what they had.

This isn't about the left getting upset that you're calling "our guy" names. It's sour grapes on the part of the right...they're being farking moronic.

Fox is definitely in the center. Only the people they interview are to the right.

No, Fox news just takes clips of Biden, rearranges them and make Biden say something completely opposite then pass it off as real news. And they have the breaking news of 'Terroist Fist Pump.'

FN lies the most out of all the news stations and some people don't seem to mind at all that FN is insulting your intelligence.

It's not news, it's Fox's fear-mongering, anti-liberal, over-throw the left, hate speech.

"Fair and Balanced" doesn't mean pushing an opposing view point without restraint. That's the equivalent of saying "You're wrong so WE must be right."

Also, accusing other outlets of being liberal doesn't make it so, and assumes that people are so stupid they can't discern an inevitable, natural bias in reporting and are blindly influenced by it.

Fox just tells a certain crowd exactly what they want to hear, and makes them feel like they're bigger than they really are. Squeaky wheel and all that.

Freedom of speech, it's for everyone.
Exercise yours today, slam FOX all you want. But don't get your knickers in a twist when someone else calls you a 0bama slut.
The current president is a lying, low life, politician. Just like most other politicians, he also has big ears and a ugly wife.
So what.

 
Tripp Johnston Private Eye 2009-04-29 01:50:52 PM  
OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

As a fellow who absolutely hates what conservatism and became much more left wing fiscally than I ever thought I would, I feel I must post a video of a competant conservative arguement against policies that could ACTUALLY be called socialist.

(Ha, it's from 1990, and it's Margaret Thatcher. American conservatism is absolutely dead)

"Most" other politicians? I'm curious who you think are the good ones.

I'm sure you would love to have it outlawed. Most lefties would love to outlaw any speech that doesn't follow their party line.

CNN is covering the first lady's first 100 days. How informative!

There was a fark photoshop contest ages ago. The theme was "what if Fox News was there throughout history." Most of the images are gone now, but the contest was so epic some of them are preserved online at different sites. If someone could find them all and post them, that would be amazing. My favorite is the "Kerrigan turns to Zerg" one.

Taking Fox news seriously just isn't a tenable position for anyone who isn't a victim of a closed head injury or a retard.

The corporation is completely open about what it is, Murdoch has always been open about what he does. Has not nor ever has been news.

You can't expect people to treat you like anything other than a weapons grade tardbucket if you claim it is.

Subby FAIL.

There is a difference between commentary and "news". People like Rush and Hannity do not hide behind being fair and balanced. They are conservative and state it. CNN and the NYT put "commentary" right on the front page and portray it as news.

I don't like FOX news because they went to court to fight for their right to knowing lie during a news broadcast. The case that got them there was one of their own reporters finding out that the story they were going to run was complete bullshiat. They ran it anyway and fired the reporter. The Supreme Court agreed that it's only TV and they are not obligated to tell the truth.

That is why I hate FOX "News". It has nothing to do with Obama...
