kelpdiver 2 #31 June 11, 2014 yoink Try Reuters or the Associated Press. In my experience they're about as neutral as it gets. Reuters got a lot of flack for "politically convenient" cropping of photos in describing that Israel Turkish ship incident. And a separate incident 4 years earlier involving an Israel-Beirut incident. So for that particular subject, I'll continue to be wary of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm guessing that math was not your strong suit in school. And the other 75%???? Weird, JerryBaumchen You may wish to look at the numbers of viewership Fox has more than many of the other combined CNN last rating showed 250K (or thereabouts) for the main prime time slot So I have no trouble with math And there are always winners and losers The rest are all losing to Fox Go figure"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

billvon 3,120 #37 June 11, 2014 >It says they know the truth when they see it FOX is indeed very truthy. ====================== What you know depends on what you watch Current events knowledge across popular news sources Thursday, May 3, 2012 Contacts: Dan Cassino 973.896.7072 Peter Woolley 973.670.3239 Krista Jenkins 908.328.8967 Fairleigh Dickinson University According to a follow-up survey by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMindTM, NPR and Sunday morning political talk shows are the most informative news outlets, while exposure to partisan sources, such as Fox News and MSNBC, has a negative impact on people’s current events knowledge. This nationwide survey confirms initial findings presented in a New Jersey focused poll (from November of 2011). . . . the study concludes that media sources have a significant impact on the number of questions that people were able to answer correctly. The largest effect is that of Fox News: all else being equal, someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer just 1.04 domestic questions correctly — a figure which is significantly worse than if they had reported watching no media at all. ======================= No wonder you trust them 100%.

Amazon 7 #39 June 12, 2014 I thought I would throw some Kos on your Fair and Balanced. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/06/10/1306029/-Why-Did-Fox-News-Cease-ALL-Coverage-Of-The-Las-Vegas-Tea-Party-Cop-Killers?detail=facebook# Why Did Fox News Cease ALL Coverage Of The Las Vegas Tea Party Cop Killers? After only one day Fox News has already eliminated coverage of the Tea Party Cop Killers in Las Vegas who went on a murderous rampage Sunday. On Monday, Fox's primetime programs (Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Sean Hannity) were silent on the subject except for four sentences on Kelly's show. On Tuesday morning's edition of Fox & Friends, the curvy couch potatoes failed to mention Jerad Miller and his wife Amanda. Later, on Happening Now, Fox ignored the story entirely. Outnumbered also declined to report on the Millers, despite having guest co-host "doctor" Keith Ablow who has psychoanalyzed every criminal, politician, and other public figure this century (without ever examining, or even meeting, any of them). Fox has replaced the Sunday massacre with older stories about the Bergdahl prisoner swap, the Veterans Administration, and Hillary Clinton's book release and presidential aspirations. The producers and editors at Fox News have never been shy about reporting acts of alleged terrorism, even before any evidence has emerged. But for this story they have refused to even refer to the crime as terrorism. There are some obvious reasons why Fox would skew their reporting and ultimately remove this story from their news coverage. And all of them represent biases that are a long-standing part of what can be called the Fox News Creed: Racism, Guns, Anti-Government, and Tea Party. First of all, the perpetrators are not who Fox's racist producers typically profile as terrorists. Rather than being brown-skinned, Muslim, foreigners, the Millers are white Christians from Indiana. So not only would it run counter to Fox's philosophy to implicate the Millers in terrorism, it would offend their 90% white, right-wing audience. Secondly, the issue raises concerns about access to dangerous firearms. The NRA constituency at Fox is loathe to focus on such events that make the public uncomfortable with the wild west society that is favored by the gun fetishists and right-wingers who program and watch the network. Fox avoids or downplays most stories about gun violence, but jumps on any report that they can frame as an Obama attempt to repeal the Second Amendment. Thirdly, Fox is well known for promoting some of the very same political ideologies as the Millers. They have featured guests who advocate secession from the United States, as well as armed resistance to federal law and authorities. An example of that is the recent Cliven Bundy affair where Jerad Miller just happened to show up threatening to use "the language of violence" against representatives of the Bureau of Land Management. Fox has also hyped Republican leaders, like Texas governor Rick Perry, who have made public statements that come just short of declaring secession. Finally, the Millers' association with Tea Party groups is something that Fox will work vigorously to excise from the public discourse. The Millers were supporters of the biggest Koch brothers-bankrolled Tea Party organizations (Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks), and openly espoused their anti-government views. It was only a matter of time before people who came to rallies with signs that said "We Came Unarmed - THIS TIME," would keep their promise of violence. Of course, Fox News also supports the same groups and views, and has been instrumental in creating and promoting the Tea Party. In fact, there would be no Tea Party without Fox News. Consequently, Fox is not going to risk alienating such a critical part of their audience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
