FallingOsh 0 #76 October 21, 2009 QuoteQuote So McCain is now Stalin and Obama is Mother Teresa? I guess that makes Fox actually wrong for having an equal number of negative stories between the two? The equal NUMBER of stories is not the same as equal coverage. Look on two headlines: "Californians say they will not vote for McCain" "New facts revealed - Obama is not a natural born citizen, the lawsuit is pending". Both those stories would count as negative to McCain and to Obama respectively, but nobody in their mind would consider them "equal coverage". Right. It's not real research. We've covered that. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingOsh 0 #77 October 21, 2009 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuote Your "fair" just means "matched my opinion", right? According to Pew Research it was fair. It has nothing to do with my opinion. And what "fair" means for Pew Research? From page 1 A study by the respected Pew Research Center showed that 40 percent of Fox News stories on Obama in the last six weeks of the campaign were negative. Similarly, 40 percent of Fox News' stories on Obama's Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, were negative. On CNN, by contrast, there was a 22-point disparity in the percentage of negative stories on Obama (39 percent) and McCain (61 percent). The disparity was even greater at MSNBC, according to Pew, where just 14 percent of Obama stories were negative, compared to a whopping 73 percent of McCain stories—a spread of 59 points. I would expect more negative stories about Stalin than about Mother Teresa - doesn't mean the media are biased. Your argument is devoid of all logic. So McCain is now Stalin and Obama is Mother Teresa? I guess that makes Fox actually wrong for having an equal number of negative stories between the two? You obviously have no qualifications to comment on other peoples' logic. You obviously are unable to comprehend simple written English. Thanks for your usual level of contribution. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rushmc 23 #79 October 21, 2009 QuoteQuoteFox News is kicking ass for one reason only. They have less slant and more "news" than any of the Obama state run tingly leg media. What you're saying is that they ARE biased, but since you're biased in the same direction too, it's much better for you than any real, unbiased news. Not really different from what the administration people said though. No, what I am saying is they will ask questions and run stories you T-leggers do not like THAT is what I am saying"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

QuoteObama's comments also came after he met Monday with political commentators Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC And they call Fox not real news?

Rstanley0312 1 #95 October 24, 2009 QuoteQuote I don't get why Fox is being accused of entertainment only programming when MSNBC primetime is Maddow and Olberman. They are not accused of entertainment. The message is different - the main priority of Fox News is to serve the Republican party, and their news coverage is biased significantly enough to the point when they're spreading propaganda, not really reporting the news. Quote Gibbs, Emanuel, and the rest of them are a bunch of whiney pussies that have resorted to completely dismissing an entire news network as 'not real news' because they have a different point of view. My opinion is pretty much the same as Gibbs - a news network, which manipulates the news coverage to deliver some crafted messages, is not really something I would call news network. It is more like The Onion newspaper - which I also read two times a week (I'm a subscriber), and it's always fun, but I doubt anyone would consider them 'real news' - and likely not just because they have a different point of view. Oh so you don't watch news at all then? They ALL do that! If you don't watch some of the more boased and strong personalities... all the networks have them...... Fox has news coverage just like any other news network. Are they biased... sure but so are the other networks who just love to kiss Obama's ass! I would say propaganda is what comes out of Obama's mouth! Despite what I feel though.... free speech and news are a big part of this country. Even if you do think you are the savior... messing with the press will get you burned.Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.
