FallingOsh 0 #51 October 20, 2009 Quote*** Then why did they single out Fox? Why not? Um, because it's the federal government singling out speech it doesn't like. Quote If combining different words spoken by different people into a phrase is fine with you, you should definitely be ok if I combine a phrase from different words from your different posts, right? So just go ahead and ignore the fact you're not reading. They did in fact say Fox isn't a news organization. You refuse to believe that, but they did. They said Fox shouldn't be treated as a news organization because of their views. Tap dance and ignore all you want. It doesn't change their words. QuoteWhich is also fine - why should administration deal spend their time with the "news" network which goal is to misrepresent everything said to follow the main agenda, So now you're rewriting Fox's goals for them. Well MSNBC's goal is to turn this country into a communist state so they should be shut down. No? Oh Ok. It's just Fox who has evil misleading intentions according to you. Quote which is anti-administration? It's not like they want to close it - it's just they do not want to waste time on them. They could do that without going on record telling other news channels not to follow Fox because it's not real. That is no ignoring. That's picking a fight because their feelings get hurt when people don't bend over backwards for their agenda. QuoteThere are legitimate news organizations around who cover real news, not just pushing agenda. Not according to you. Every news network has some pundit with an opinion and you've said that is not effectively delivering the real news. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

kallend 2,148 #56 October 20, 2009 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuote 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....

georgerussia 0 #58 October 20, 2009 Quote I can answer however I feel like. Especially if I'm the President. We're talking an interview or press conference, not an interrogation. Yes, you can answer any way you like. Then it's up to news station whether to report what your answer was, or just to tell their auditory that "you preferred to avoid giving straight yes/no answer as asked, and while we do not want to push any agenda, you my dear conservatives might think what is the real reason that your elected representative cannot answer a simple question with a single word answer? Of course we're not saying he has something to hide, but you all are smart people and agree there should be a reason for avoiding such a simple question. We all agree that it's quite dangerous when the supposedly open government avoids answering questions, isn't it?". And so on. Quote Major Garret is the Senior Whitehouse correspondit for FoxNews.

nerdgirl 0 #64 October 20, 2009 Quote A typical example of such presentation is above - and, as you see, it's not about lying - it's just "sharing the opinion". Sometimes I wonder if part of the problem is semantics? Maybe that's not the best word either. Maybe it's precision in choice of words? What is an error or differing opinion gets put forth as a "lie". Lieing is intentional misrepresentation and much more polarizing. /Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

Care to CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN MSNBC? I doubt it but to be fair, this thread IS about comparisons. You post three for how many years? "Reporter" vs "conservative reporter" or "conservative (fill in your blank here) would dwarf the puny example presented by you in less than a month. But thats OK, at least some are willing to see it What I do see itsmany time those listed by me above will list a Dem representative with an R behind the name as a rep.

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".* Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. * Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
