Fox News Channel attacks Black America

Haha, it does seem selective and the comments are mostly from guests, but then again it's not like their guests are random, they pick the ones they want to either agree with them or are diametrically opposed.
I'm sure Fox thinks they really have a gem when they can get black guys that say racism isn't a problem or that black people are racist for pointing out racism. Fantastic.

In announcing the primary debates, CBC Institute Board Chair U.S.
Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said, "The CBC Institute is continuing a
primary debate program initiated during the 2004 campaign. This cycle we
are pleased to work with CNN, one of the most influential news networks, to
bring the presidential candidates to the broadcast audience."
Thompson added, "Our goal with each debate is to provide a platform
that will allow voters to hear the positions of candidates from both
political parties. Our partnership with CNN provides unprecedented
viewership and allows the CBC Institute to take the 2008 presidential
election to homes across America." CNN U.S. President Joe Klien said, "CNN
is pleased to join with the CBC Institute in spotlighting two important
primary debates. These debates are a meaningful addition to our
comprehensive coverage of the 2008 presidential election, particularly as
they give us an opportunity to explore more closely a range of issues that
will impact the pivotal African-American vote."

We hate Fox News because they bullshit the news completely turning the whole thing around. Worse yet they have made up news!
"Obama went to a muslim school! He can't be president! He's a terrorist!"
"Oh, it came out that info is not correct? Well damn! it's not our fault because people from the Clinton's office told us that!!!"

[quote name='ttriber']Of Course Edited video's to show someone's opinion about Fox News. I could of just did the same video & put how CNN loves to kiss up to dems and liberals. So what is your point , how you hate fox news because there the #1 in the buisness. Be jealous kumbya..kumbya...[/QUOTE]
Not exactly true. They're the highest rated, but their share is almost exclusively old peeps. Old peeps are the least valued demographic. Cornering a market segment that is least valued by your customers (advertisers) isn't exactly #1 in your business.
Were you so inclined, you could easily find articles in which Fox News brass lament their poor choice of market segment and talk about the brainstorming efforts to reach out. Their recent, horrendous go at a half hour "comedy" show was one such effort.
Just pointing out the obvious.

The problem I have with Fox News is the blatant try to give us eye candy. Be it their anchors, their bylines/headlines or guests, I just can't stand to watch them for more than 10 minutes anymore. There's one particular retard that rises above the rest though, he's a guest on one of the market shows. Young white guy, maybe early-mid 30s. (EDIT: Jonathan Hoenig) Comes off as a complete douche. Course I could say the same thing about Shepard Smith, and Bill O'Reilly.
Matter of fact, add Alison Stewart, Chris Jansing and Rita Cosby of MSNBC, Paul Begala, Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck of CNN/HN of the people who don't need to be on TV anymore. My support of Olbermann is waning, too. Dude: Calm down. We know you're liberal.

Either it's because he can't accept people who disagree with him or just because it's fashionable in Massachusetts to hate the South.

It actually may be a combination of both.
My brother-in-law, when he worked in Boston started dating this woman who's parents had her brainwashed about the South. When she came down here she was amazed that she didn't see a gun rack or huge rebel flag in every truck. She was even more shocked that white, black, indian, mexican, etc people interact on a daily basis and don't have any problems. She's not stupid (as she edits a few major newspapers), she was just ignorant. I'm guessing the same thing applies here.
Hey, we even got indoor shitters a couple of years ago so things are looking up.

Eh, a mish-mash of programming and, as pointed our previously, mostly commentaries. Not really definitive proof of any Fox News hatred. Sure -- they have mostly right leaning commentary shows and some of their news anchors are right leaning, but in the end is that really a big deal?
There are many news anchors and news commentary programs on a plethora of other stations that are left leaning. So the balance has been presented in Fox News -- it makes the entire news medium more fair and balanced by merely exisiting. Then again, this is why I don't take TV news people directly at their word and try to find as many other sources as possible publishing the same exact news story.
On a related note -- here's an interesting article from UCLA Professors on Media Bias, where they try to quantify it as best as possible.

Video of nothing but clips from FNC.
enjoy![/quote]
Are you kidding? Fox is so foreign to liberals because it is successful and has a different veiwpoint that, until recently, wasn't shown anywhere else. CNN finally decided to try and cash in (Glenn Beck). I don't agree with most of their conservative ideas, but they aren't any worse than their liberal counterparts.
I mean, we all know how much liberal media outlets just loooovvveee them some conservative christians! CNN or NBC would NEVER make generalizations about christians, conservatives, or pretty much anyone living between the only two cities in the universe (L.A. and N.Y.) now would they!
