[quote name='mykevermin']I'm so tired of hearing this falsehood. Absolutely no news organization makes the same consistent, repeated, and one-sided[/quote]
That could possibly be true, but if you'd paid attention, that's besides my point.
Who other than FOX, for that matter, reports on reporting on themselves, *at all*, let alone in the context of hit pieces where they've photoshopped the authors into hymie-stylized villains that would make Nazis dance with glee?
I don't know, it was an opinion show, so who cares?
When has a FOX editor said, on or off air, "we're sorry, we
ed up/we apologize and this won't happen again/we regret the error" or anything of that nature?
Fox news apologizes for remarks about John Kerry.
Fox Vice President admits using poor judgment.
Two apologies from Fox employees about Obama.
Fox apologizes to John Conyers.
Fox and friends corrects talk about Obama and madrassa claims.
Really myke, do a google search before trying to making extreme assassine generalizations like that. That took only a couple minutes. They apologize all the time. In fact, the frequency of which bolstered your argument. They clearly screw up all the time.
They rely on mindless prats like thrust, who want to forgive FOX's pro-wrestling-style news presentation with this false claim that "everyone else is doing it."
Really myke, your suppose to be an educated guy, right? Why continue to demean yourself and your argument with adolescent name calling? How disappointing. Grow up. You insist on constantly proving just how intolerant the left really is. And that's a bad thing.
First of all, you are arguing all this as if it's fact. Let's turn your favorite "table" on you and ask you to back it up with an accredited study from an accredited source. Prove to me that FoxNews is less accurate, makes more mistakes, or is even has more of a political agenda than their competitors. Link me studies.
Actually, nevermind. Save the time. Because I don't care. I'm just illustrating to you that this whole discussion is based on opinion. And you still manage to call me names over an opinion. Disappointing.
Let me clarify my position before you get more worked up, red, and flustered, like an insulted Irish teenage pub patron.
FoxNews very well might do more obviously atrocious news reporting. I admit I really don't know, because I don't watch it, nor do I care. Nor do I care to defend them, which I haven't done, btw.
But my big point you still aren't getting is
who ing cares? The point I am trying to make is that ALL cable news is about equally as useless as reality TV. The other networks you mention as "not as bad as Fox" are barely passable as news as is. This is mostly due to their tendencies to completely ignore certain issues - even entire categories, while totally focussing (Read: Misdirection) on others.
Meanwhile, as far as I'm concerned they are ALL uniformly shoveling destructive, divisive, seemingly coordinated, meaningless bullshit down the American eye socket.
In other words, I see them all as prime perpetrators of many of the problems I see in this country. The mainstream media is the fuel for almost all social fires. Even more than talk radio.
Furthermore, people that are constantly dancing around their home-made FoxNews bonfires, are just lemmings buying into their liberal-media fed propaganda bullshit, still perpetuating the problem. That was my only point in my last post. Not to defend Fox, but to point out how dumb it is to single a shit out of the sewer.
Show me some CNN/MSNBC errors that match the kind that FOX has done here and in the past - and, if we want everything to be equal, they have to be errors that the channel did not admit to or apologize for.
Challenge on.
I'm going to have to go ahead and decline, per above. I'm uninterested. If you want me to admit FoxNews is, in many ways, worse or less responsible, and more unprofessional than your other preferred networks, I will. Because I don't care if they are. A worse among the bad, doesn't mean shit.
But know this, if I asked you to prove to me which street gang in your city of choice does more "bad stuff" or is more offensive and scary, would you care? Ultimately the argument would come down to all gangs being bad, as this one has (or should).
