Killian Kalthorne Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Faux Snooze. Ever since that Mass Effect debacle I ignore everything that Fox reports. If they can't be truthful about something as minor as a video game I can I trust them to be truthful about more important issues.

Killian Kalthorne Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I based my news channel by the least amount of bias it has against the truth. Such as if I want to read news on American politics I go to the BBC. On world events that don't matter to the US too much I go to CNN. For internal US news that isn't political I go to my local stations.

Killian Kalthorne Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Every news outlet has its bias. That is normal, but Faux Snooze take it to a whole new level. MSNBC isn't much better but it is on the other side of the political spectrum.

LadyCrimson Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (LA Times) Palin, who will make her debut tonight on "The O'Reilly Factor," will appear regularly as a commentator on the network. She'll also be one of the hosts of an occasional series called "Real American Stories," about how everyday Americans cope with challenges. There are no words yet invented that are capable of expressing my derisive mirth. “Things are as they are.

This covers CNN, FOX News and MSNBC as well. I am actually interested in this kind of stuff, but i can't find any numbers. I haven't seen much of the "News"-segment of Fox, but their commentator-shows are incredibly unprofessional and devoid of any taste.

Gorgon Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Of course he hasn't got any research. How do you investigate media bias without being accused of the same crime. Can't be done. All anybody has got are opinions. Mine is that the BBC is reasonably professional and a reliable agency. Aren't they public service by the way, that should help in theory at least against political agendas in the boardroom.

Wrath of Dagon Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Yes, Fox News can be biased, but it's pretty obvious when they are, and it's still better than other news outlets trying to ignore news stories unfavorable to Obama/liberal agenda. But I agree the whole Mass Effect episode was disgraceful.

I don't think she's an idiot, just typically ignorant and provincial. Besides if Glenn Beck hasn't embarassed them, no one can. And Beck has been both very good for ratings, and bagged a couple of Obama's sacred cows. Certain segment of the population adores Palin.

Gorgon Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Fox news are pretty farcical to most people including those who don't care either way about politics. That a former VP candidate would chose that career path ought to leave one questioning just what kinds of people white house candidates are.
