The issue is not who has more viewers--despite what some people think--the issue is whether or not ClusterFox is a legitimate news source.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I am sure the stockholders of the liberal "news" networks are asking themselves whether their decline in ratings and revenue is sustainable.
They are probably filling out bailout forms as we speak. | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 5:26:34 PM | So... Let's look at some of FOX's "lies as news"...
Fox News' Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly misrepresented the reported plans of the Obama administration to rescind a December 2008 Bush administration regulation to falsely assert that the Obama administration's decision could result in doctors' being prosecuted or discriminated against for refusing to perform abortions
Continuing Fox News' witch hunt against Obama administration nominees and officials whom they have labeled "czars," Glenn Beck falsely claimed that Cass Sunstein, President Obama's nominee to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, has said "you must be an organ donor" and "you should not be able to remove rats from your home if it causes them any pain,"
Despite evidence to the contrary, Fox News -- led by Sean Hannity -- and other right-wing media have claimed that Department of Education official Kevin Jennings "cover[ed] up statutory rape" and violated Massachusetts law by not reporting to authorities a 1988 conversation in which a high school student told Jennings about his relationship with an older man
Hannity falsely claimed that State Department official Koh wanted Sharia law in the United States. Hannity has also claimed that Harold Koh, the State Department's legal adviser, "advocates the use of Sharia law in America" and that Koh has said "Sharia law can be applied in American courts."
Fox News promoted fake murder story from ACORN video... Fox News hosts frequently promoted the fake claim that the ACORN employee killed her ex-husband without fact-checking the allegation or indicating that they had contacted ACORN for a response
Beck claimed Van Jones was a "convicted felon." On August 11, Beck accused Van Jones, whom he described as Obama's "green jobs czar," of being a "convicted felon ... who spent, I think, six months in prison after the Rodney King beating."
Beck falsely claimed Anita Dunn "worships" "her hero" Mao Zedong. Throughout most of his October 15 Fox News program, Beck falsely claimed that White House communications director Anita Dunn "worships" and "idolizes" "her hero" Mao Zedong.
Fox trumpets CAIR conspiracy theory charges made by author with anti-Islam history. Repeated Fox News segments reported that, in Bret Baier's words, "Republican lawmakers say the Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR, is trying to infiltrate Capitol Hill by placing interns in key positions,"
Fox News doctors Biden quote to falsely claim he was praising economy in March. On March 16, Live Desk co-host Martha MacCallum claimed that "after weeks of economic doom and gloom, the Obama administration is now singing a slightly different tune. Take a look at what was said in recent interviews this weekend." Live Desk then aired clips of administration officials purportedly giving an optimistic view of the economy, which included video of Vice President Joe Biden stating, "The fundamentals of the economy are strong."
Fox News reporter distorts Obama comments on health care. On April 24, White House correspondent Wendell Goler cropped a comment by Obama and took it out of context -- effectively reversing the statement's meaning -- to falsely suggest that Obama supports creating a health care system "like the European countries."
Happening Now crops clips of Obama to promote "another apology tour." On June 2, Happening Now co-host Jon Scott asked if "the president's upcoming trip [to Europe and the Middle East will] be what conservatives might call another apology tour," and both Scott and co-host Jane Skinner aired cropped clips of Obama's remarks from an April 3 speech in France to falsely suggest that Obama only criticized the United States. In doing so, Happening Now joined conservative commentators and Fox News hosts who have cropped or misrepresented Obama's overseas remarks to falsely suggest, in the words of Hannity, that Obama was "blam[ing] America first" and, more broadly, that Obama's earlier overseas trip constituted an "apology tour."
... and that's just recent "made up sh*t"... I can come up with 8 more years of it, at a minimum, from Bush-boy's days...
...Care to take the challenge? | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 5:34:10 PM | I bought a new 4 wheel drive gas guzzling pickup truck from Obama Motors yesterday.
The cool thing is the radio in it has XM, and I found that Fox News has a station on there. Now I am able to listen to a viable news source as I drive around earning my pay everyday.  | |

the original attributor claims a source... Quoting a highly unreliable source is hardly excusable.
A perfect example of "making sh*t up"... How do you know it is a "highly unreliable source"?... Do YOU know who the source of that quote was?... the one Huberman hasn't told about yet?
Huberman has also written the books Bushit and The Bush-Hater Handbook, edited the book The Quotable Atheist, and has titled his weblog “Well to the Left of Attila the Hun.”
And your point is...? How does a book titled "the Quotable Atheist" or a title like "Well to the Left of Attila the Hun" make a difference to the issue...?
That YOU don't like the topic of his writings is not relevant unless you can show a habit of making quotes up...
Now... back to the question at hand... Can you definitively answer it? | |

so, until HE has been shown to have "made sh*t up" about the quote... or his source... well, you get the point I'm sure... I agree, until he provides the source it is all made up.......any body can say anything and attribute to a "source" but until the source is verified then it is no more credible than the person citing it.....
Have to disagree with you there in HR3200 there was a section that said a panel would make health care decisions I even posted it on another thread...You can argue about what "Death Panel" means but you can't honestly say that there weren't going to be panels that were to make decisions ... | |

But... that's NOT what they were originally making reference to... they were referencing provisions for reimbursment for physician time spent advising patients on 'end of life' decisions... the IMAC panel only came into it when they were called on thier lies... and even these were never about making individual health decisions... only about reimbursement policy... what a doctor will be paid for... such as... will they be paid for writing you a 'sick letter' to give to your boss or will that be 'out of pocket' for the patient...
but you can't honestly say that there weren't going to be panels that were to make decisions ...
No-one has said such a thing... only that the lies of FOX and the conservatives that these panels were about making "pull the plug on Granny" decisions were what they were... bold-faced lies... "made up sh*t"... fake "news"... | |

It looks like made up BS to me too. No citations, no sources, just a bunch of hooey. Don't educators stress citations, fact finding, credible source materials? When I studied journalism they did.
In the marketplace of ideas, MSLSD, the Washington Compost and others are being tossed on the heap of liberal failures. That's probably why libs like socialism, because they need tax money to prop up these hacks from extinction. | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 8:51:29 PM | I read this and feel it's worth sharing. It shows just how much Fox is "News" organization.
<div class="quote">On Thursday morning, Fox and Friends made 22 mentions of the minority-organizing group ACORN -- a consistent boogeyman for the GOP -- despite the fact that there has been no new news on the ACORN front in weeks.
"Straight ahead," said host Steve Doocy early in Thursday's show. "Congress has stopped funding ACORN after... Fox News uncovered shocking video tapes. But did you know that that ACORN ban was only temporary? Should ACORN get its funding back?"
Contrast that to the tone of the coverage when news broke, at roughly 8:30 am (late in the broadcast) that the economy had grown for the first time in the past year. The host spent just a handful of minutes -- and made only two mentions -- on the 3.5 percent growth in GDP, despite the fact that it signaled the beginning of the end of the worst recession in 70 years.
Moreover, each time it was brought up, the hosts either switched to more "friendly" terrain (such as quickly moving on to discuss controversial comments made by Florida Democrat Alan Grayson), or poured cold water on the news.
"You will hear that from the mainstream media all day," said one host. "The recession is over. That is simply not true."

Yup, way to cover the "news" Fox. | |

Are you honestly attempting to claim that these stories never ran on FOX...? Are you actually attempting to discredit the fact that they claimed... for example...
... Sunstein wanted 'mandatory' organ donor...?
... Jennings covered-up a rape...?
... Dunn "worshipped Mao"...?
And on... and on...
... or are you just hoping for a source you can claim is 'biased' so you can try to distract from the truth...? Go after the source rather than the fact...? Could you make the attempt any more obvious...? | |

You are questioning the validity of what they report and then blast them for not reporting this distortion? seriously the number is a LIE you can't have a 3.5% growth in GDP when unemployment is at 10% and the actual number of unemployed is closer to 20%,,,the number reflects the increase in Government Spending .... | |

Better then usual at least you are only bordering on distortion, the money came from the stimilis package and accomplished exactly what it was supposed to, it injected enough money into the system to fuel spending Thus a 3.5% growth in GDP
The number reflecting unemployment stats has always been flawed, it's never shown how many are actually out of work or how many are under employed | |

Interesting that there is no citations, YouTube for any of the stuff for all those reports.....
That's why I didn't say anything about Katie Couric's little piece on Michelle's WH garden and its final harvest.
Seems that it only cost $180 in seeds and soil and garden equipment to grow all the fresh vegetables they did for charity. ----
If any one has had a vegetable garden they know that it takes quite a bit of time to tend it (watering, weeding, and insect control) on a daily basis. That alone would be way more than $180 from Spring to Summer in just WH Labor, for I very much doubt that it was Michelle doing all that work during her busy schedule.
....Talk about exaggerations, or mistruths. (Oh no --- I forgot Katie Couric isn't on FOX and its only FOX that isn't a news station).

Posted: 10/30/2009 2:51:25 PM | msg 121 said (and liberals have with Fox is they are makin' mucho $$ while the three major networks are just making money and MSNBC is drowning in red ink)
If most people didn't know better one would think Obama was doing this on purpose for the benefit of FOX.
Since Obama has taken on FOX their ratings are going up up up; approximately 13%, while all the other more pro-Obama stations are tanking.
CNN one of Obama's biggest on air supporters is actually tanking the worse, yet lately being a bit more sympatric of FOX News.
Hmmm is that why CNN tiptoeing out and showing some of the truth behind the stupidity of this war on FOX by Obama and his WH administration? | |

Here is the video of Dunn saying Mao is one of her favorite philosophers.
Actually about 75% of the statements on FOX are backed up with videos.
As to Jones and his prison...Jones is the one who kept saying he became a communist while in prison. For some reason Jones is the one who thought it was cool to be an ex-con. | |

Did you know Fox is run by Hitler? It's true. Fox also kicks puppies. In addition to that, Fox is also responsible for global warming, the poor state of the economy, the swine flu, and midgets not being allowed in the NBA.
Evil båstards. Yep and George Bush is secretly the CEO while Rush and David Limbaugh assist him in creating new and excited lies about Obama to air daily.
Oh! And dont forget that if they were finally taken off the air all the bees will come back. | |
