Family Friendly Fox, the news alternative!

Fox News is truly the news alternative.  It is not really news, but biased commentary for the most part that shills for the Republican party.  It largely supported Bush's efforts to lie us into the war with Iraq, maintain torture chambers, and bring down the economy with the mindless regulation-free business approach.  Please give us examples showing that CBS, et al., were racist.  That is pure BS.   

Yes CBS NBC & ABC report the news every day and as many others do CNN and FOX do also. We have newspapers also do you let your children read them also. And lets not forget in school they teach history do your children go to this class??? if not why not. As any AMERICAN would not let there children watch the news something is wrong with you the parents. So let them watch a movie channel instead which contains adult content Thats your answer to the problem you should not even have a TV or a RADIO in your House and do you listento the music of today i hope not it is worse than the nightly news. Look at yourself in a mirror and ask if you as children growing up did not watch the news yourselves if you say no then something is wrong with this wourld.

HI, I JUST READ THIS AND I SAY 6 THUMBS UP TO YOU.... southern7162 (thinks this answer is Not Helpful)

this was said to you Queenbee, trying to reason with you is out of the question. You hate everyone who does not hate the people you hate. There is too much hate in the world already but you are here only to add more hate. The Lord rebuke you, whatever your name actually is. You are here only to serve Satan and Obama -- in that order.   she spoke the truth to you =============================================== SOUTHERN 7162 I WATCH FOX ALL THE TIME. AT LEAST YOU GET THE TRUTH OUT OF THEM. I AM WITH YOU. A FEW OTHERS AGREE ALSO, THIS WAS QUOTED ABOUT NOT WATCHING IT FROM QB. SHE POST SOMETHING AND WHEN YOU DON'T AGREE ABOUT IT, OH BOY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST. GOD BLESS NANADEE

fox is not a news station its an opinion station. it is a extension of the republican party. its a 24 hour a day anti -obama and democrat station. i used to watch it when bush was president. i could tolerate it for short periods of time to see what the republicans were up to. now that obamas president it is just a lie and hate spreading channel. its has the hate radio format and its to hard to watch. its no wonder that the right is so paranoid and hateful.

  True true.  I am so glad my kids are grown and that my grandchildren  are too.  The way this world is now, with all the kidnapping' and murders and rapes of innocent is awful...It's all because of man...Not god.  I never liked b.O. And didn't vote for him and his lies and won't change my mind.  God will judge him in time so why waste my time.

God bless

Mea Culpa: Fox News keeps making conservative-friendly mistakes

Every news organization makes mistakes. But when Fox News makes mistakes, they seem to tilt in a suspiciously consistent direction, favoring Republicans and conservatives over Democrats and liberals.

It happened again Wednesday, when host Gregg Jarrett, introducing a segment on Happening Now , described the "huge crowds" that were turning out to greet Sarah Palin on the promotional tour for her book, Going Rogue . "These are some of the pictures just coming into us," Jarrett said as images of Palin surrounded by throngs of supporters flashed across the screen.



While Palin may indeed be drawing big crowds, it didn't take long for liberal watchdog blogs like Think Progress and Media Matters to point out that the masses Jarrett touted on Happening Now had nothing to do with Palin's book; the footage was from a 2008 campaign rally. Called on the switcheroo, Fox blamed it on a "production error" and issued an on-air apology.

The whole thing might have gone unnoticed had it not been for an eerily similar incident last week in a much more prominent venue, Sean Hannity's primetime show. In this case, the crowd Hannity was hyping was the one that gathered to attend a rally against the healthcare bill on November 5. The footage he showed, however, was from the much larger Sept. 12 "tea parties." In that case, it was The Daily Show that blew the whistle , forcing Hannity to apologize on the following day's show.


And then, of course, there are all the Republican miscreants Fox has mistakenly identified as Democrats, like Mark Sanford and Mark Foley , and the insufficiently doctrinaire Republicans it has ID'd as Democrats, like John McCain and Arlen Specter (who did, in fact, become a Democrat later).

One would like to think that all of these were genuine accidents, not intentional efforts to mislead viewers. Hannity's show is advocacy, not news, but even he could surely find more effective and less backfire-prone ways to influence the debate than outright deception.

Even so, this pattern of ideologically-slanted errors illustrates the danger of packaging a news operation around a core of opinion programming. As long as Fox News is a network by and for conservatives, the people who produce its shows -- even its "objective" shows -- are going to see in the news what they expect to see rather than what it really is.
