What if Fox News was the only source of News

[Chiteng]

Highest standards would be great, I'd already be happy with minimum standards like not being allowed to lie and call yourself news.

You would be shutting down Ben Franklin

 

[Chiteng]

It's only bias if they are deliberately skewing the reports to push an agenda. And Fox is the only major news source in the US that does that. Nearly all the others bend over backwards to not have any form of a bias.

Not at all true. The MSM routinely ignore any poll/story that doesnt suit their
universal amnesty objective. That is passive censorship. Not news

So the fact that they are not biased in favor of your pet bigotry means that they are in fact biased?

No. That is 'YOUR' bias speaking. You apparently favor their bias, so you refuse to
acknowledge it. Isnt that what you claim I am doing.

With one large difference, I dont demand anyone share my opinions. You do.

I don't either. I want news that, as closely as possible, reports important news accurately. You want news that harps endlessly on your own trivial unimportant pet bigotry. What you want is not news. At all. What you want is a propaganda organ for your own little hate group.

That is exactly what they are NOT doing. They are NOT telling us all that the majority
of the people do NOT want universal amnesty, if it means an increase in the labor supply.

Isnt that odd? Sure they will quote some pundit who claims otherwise, but it isnt true.

It is not an unimportant pet bigotry. It is the #1 most important issue facing the country.
Either we are a sovereign state, or we are not. If we are not, dont cram that Obamacare down my throat.

 

[JollyRoger]

With record enforcement against undocumented immigrants, it seems that we are not getting universal amnesty and I do not know of anyone supporting that concept nor news outlet portraying that as the case.

But be happy that Obama is the strongest Presidential performer in decades in favor of your pet issue.

You dont even know what my pet issue is. And Obama has done NOTHING regarding it.
In fact he has acted delibretly to make it much worse. And BTW, Obama has told the Border Patrol and ICE to not deport illegals. In defiance of the laws.

 

[JollyRoger]

If your pet issue is not immigration, you are surely neglecting your pet here. And given his record enforcement, he has obviously not asked the Border Patrol or ICE to universally stand down on deportation. He has merely directed the focus to the highest priority deportations.

What if it is not that important an issue to people? Have you ever considered that?

I have no need. I am like a Motie Mediator. If other people come to different conclusions,
investigate why that is.

It doesnt impact MY conclusion.

You might wish to examine the stats post election until now. Things have changed,
and not for the better

 

[peter grimes]

BTW the thread is not about Obamacare. I cannot reply to the other questions
asked w/o being offtopic

You dont even know what my pet issue is. And Obama has done NOTHING regarding it.

You claim that Obamacare is off-topic here but immigration isn't?

What polls are you referring to that the MSM has ignored? That seems to be your primary rationale for relying on a 'news' service that lies as a matter of policy.

You might wish to give me a link.

I don't watch Fox News. (In fact I don't watch any TV news.) But is it all bad?

He's right, I think. The struggle in Syria is an ideological one.

KUCINICH 2016!

Consider this: in a world where FoxNews stands alone, would there be anything like the Colbert Report or Daily Show? That would be a tragedy.

I stand by my earlier estimate that a unipolar FoxNews world would be a heck of a lot like Idiocracy:


Link to video.




Link to video.


And a little GlennBeck "on Justice" for dessert:

I would argue that many many years of being watched would imply that there
is more to it than sensationalism. Maybe people like what they see

Of course a lot of people like it - the channel tells them exactly what they want to hear.

That's not what a good news channel does. It doesn't tell you what you want to hear - it reports the truth, whether it agrees with your ideology or not.

So the world is just supposed to ignore the facts and accept your conclusion as the TRUTH?

Picking low hanging fruit becomes a chore when you have to bend down to reach it.

I dont consider what YOU are calling 'facts' as facts. They are opinion only, and can be
easily disregarded in the face of observational evidence.
