    Default So, you don't think that FOX News is a propaganda vehicle?

    Yes, I know the Daily Show is also biased, but let's keep the "they did it first!" to your playgrounds, shall we children?

    Anyway, in case you want a summary because there's a squirrel outside that's simply too distracting for three minutes of video, Fox News put footage of a different demostation to accompany their coverage of a recent anti-healthcare rally and claimed it was the same thing in order to make it look like more people supported the anti-healthcare rally.

    Roll up, roll up, to defend Fox News. I will chat politely with Mongrel.

    Sean Hannity admitted Fox was wrong on air last night. He also thanked Stewart for watching his show...

    Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

    It's stupid to talk in terms of Sean Hannity, he's not a journalist, he's a front man. Fox News will lie again, Fox news will apologise again, Fox New viewers deserve what they get.

    admission of course makes it all better. makes it almost as if they were well within their rights, as an 'unbias and fair' news agency, to completely distort the news in order to serve a political agenda.

    It certainly makes it better for the Fox audience. Everyone else of course can see through the half-hearted, meaningless apology.

    Is anyone surprised fox news and it's incompetent staff has to resort to lies? Sean Hannity thinks the TV show “V” is brainwashing people into liking Obama what do you expect from that kind of wackjob?

    At least on fox he can preach his hate without fear of back-lash from his viewers.

    He was so much better when the focus of his show was business/economics.

    Personally, I think he will be entering politics.

    *sigh*

    Another Fox bashing thread? Why don't we bash ALL media instead?

    Well, no, because Fox News regularly proves that it wants to elevate to an entirely new and unknown level of .

    John Stewart bashes the hell out of CNN and MSNBC when they act retarded, too, to be sure.

    Foxnews reminds me off the Jerry Springer show. Didn't that show start out with some serious issues and a normal talk show, then as it became more apparent that the audience wanted more outlandish and ridiculous topics Springer and his crew just started coming up with wild crap and the show like tripled in popularity. FoxNews is doing the same thing, and the funny thing is they smash the other media outlets in viewership... well funny or sad I don't know but whatever. I don't really like any media outlet.

    First of all, I don't think it helps your cause of raising awareness by calling defenders of FOX news "children"

    Secondly, yes I must point out this is the Daily Show, you know like Talk Soup. It's lile comparing a chevy Camaro to a Ford Pinto. There not even in the same leauge. Jon Stewart is a has been and never was. He's an actor and comedian. His claim to fame was being a Howard Stern ball washer. OK, enough said. It's like watching an SNL "news" segment. Sure they use actual news storys of the day, but they twist it around to make it more interesting and funny. It's NOT to be taken seriously.

    But that said, this was a shameless manuver. Sean Hannity doesn't need to exaggerate the truth, most Americans DO oppose govenment run heathcare. This doesn't help that fight one iota.

    I am curious though. Did all of you that bash FNC also drop the hammer on Dan Rather? What he did was a thousand times more aggregious than this. He blatantly LIED knowing he was fabricating the News on G.W. Bush and his involvement in Vietnam. His producer Mary Mapes also knew that the info was bogus and STILL ran the story. So let us point out ALL the flaws in journalistic integrity and not just one because it's the only conservitive voice.

    Here are some of the gross misrepresentations of the "liberal hero" Mr. rather
    Rather say's that CBS can over come
    Rathergate producer Mary Mapes
    Did you see where the second one came from? The intellectual conservitive.

    We shall agree to disagree.

    But is this clip incorrect? No. So don't waste my time by posting such pointlessness.

    I can't believe I prempted the "they did it too!" playground argument and you still posted it.
