    that fox is retarded.

    and he's right. how many times did u count the "march to socialism" phrase in that video? No 'fair and balanced' news service would force its opinions so much upon such a naieve and ignorant public that rely on them for their own views.

    seen the video already though

    For the love of allah, how many times do people have to re iterate this? GLEN BECK IS NOT A ING NEWs ANCHOR!

    Chris ing mathews on the other hand is and had an orgasm on camera when Obama got elected, he is an ANCHOR he is supposed to report news, not jizz in his pants every time liberal agendas are fullfilled.

    Simpletons, I swear. Glen Beck, Bill O'reilly, and Sean Hannity are conservative hosts of OPINION shows. Are you ing because every other news organization has liberal opinion shows? probably not.

    I am amazed at the people who just gobble up the popular tripe about fox news. Have you heard? its HIP to hate fox news, YEAH lets do it! Their DUMB! You obviously never watch the regular news casts. Curse them for having conservative talk shows because we all know only liberals are right, and its ok for them to have 20 networks with blatantly liberal slant.

    It's like every time they call him a socialist, they think they're the first ones to do so for the first time.

    hes a non violent fascist?

    its actaully pretty funny to me how the american media does a tailspin, fox goes from 'Government mouthpeice' to picking out all the flaws and problems with the government people can see anyway,
    while on the other side the 'left' media spins round and suddenly becomes the government mouthpeice..

    almost as if they were and are playing you agaisnt each other..

    that goes directly against what news stations are supposed to be about. Also goes against their own slogan. Unfair and unbalanced news stations = Propaganda, and thats extremely dangerous.

    Hell u can see FOX news come thru in a lot of american arguments here at TWC for example, and its hilarious but extremely frustrating at the same time

    An interesting opinion. How do you define fascism? How do you fit Obama into that definition?

    (I'm assuming you're not simply being rhetorical)

    That's quite an oxymoron right there.

    I'm curious, for all those claiming Obama is a Communist/Fascist what exactly has he done in his term so far to give out the idea that those are his political beliefs and what lends to the notion that after he is done as President we will be the second coming of the USSR? Or is this another baseless notion that since he's a Liberal he must be a Communist? If that's the case allow me to state American Liberalism DOES NOT EQUAL Communism, Socialism, or Fascism.

    He's a Fascist, he's a Communist, make up your retarded Conservative minds already. Jezz, can't believe I actually managed to watch a whole 3mins of that pile of disgraceful, ignorant, arrogant, and utterly misinformed garbage.

    This just in, conservative (US version) talking heads don't like Obama or his policies and are allowed to say so on opinion pieces on one station.

    I know this is shocking, allowing people with opinions to speak them when they don't agree with yours, but apparently Fox has the audacity to do such a thing.

    BURN THE WITCH!!!!

    Oh they're perfectly allowed to say whatever they want. Just as long as they don't pretend that anything they say has anything whatsoever to do with being fair and balanced.
    I have approximate answers and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don’t know anything about. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing.

    It's actually in their slogan. I know, ridiculous, but day in day out, anyone watching Fox News will watch the phrase Fair and Balanced come by a thousand times.

    You know, you have a youtube hit piece only showing negatives and only showing opinion pieces.

    Not the news reporting. I don't see how this is so hard to grasp. Lets take the WSJ which is considered a conservative paper. The only conservative section is the opinion pieces. The news section is rated LEFT of center.

    Opinion isn't where you worry about bias, you know its opinion.

    The bias is when they present the facts of the news in such a way to slant public opinion. Thats where they get 'fair and balanced' which was scientifically proven in the UCLA study.
