I can already see rightwingers using shaming tactics about the fact the hes a wrestling fan, that hes a liberal, and that he loves obama even though if you watch most of his videos he doesnt support obama nor liberals [video=youtube;ZHad32FjJCU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHad32FjJCU[/video]
TV LIES, TV = PROPAGANDA Woe is us if the most powerful propaganda machine in the whole damn world falls into the wrong hands. TV = indoctrination of the masses.
So if they just changed the slogan to something other than "Fair and Balanced" would you care? MSNBC ranks higher in the studies in terms of bias. But as long as they don't use "Fair and Balanced" as their slogan that's not a problem huh?
Then I'm not sure of the point of the thread. POLL: Fox Is The Most Trusted TV News Source In America A new survey says that Fox News is the most trusted TV news source in America, and MSNBC is dead last.
I do not think MSNBC is balanced at all, not one iota. I believe that is why most people [by far] do not trust them.They will purposely ignore current news [if it is not in their favor] to run something as old as the hills as long as it bashes the right. As far as distorting I believe Al Sharpton holds that title hands down, one wonders how that fellow sleeps at night. I loved how he turned his own ''RAT story into a ''Savior of the neighborhood'' fairy tale. He continually tells half a story likes it's an art or something, many a staff member has been fired for less in my opinion.. Having him on staff cuts their credibility in half,,, even before he opens his mouth. He would have lost that title had they hired Baldwin, but alas he could not last long enough. Seems he was just too skeevy even for them... Sure Fox is slanted, they all are. One thing about Fox though, they get quality guests from the opposing side to argue their point of view, and it really can not be denied. This to me is very important, they welcome a quality debate, while MSNBC makes sure their [Right sided] guests have bad skin and preferably a speech impediment...
What on earth are you talking about? Here's a clue: Don't watch. Find your remote. Switch channels. Problem solved.
All MSM is tained with political and financial influence. You'll never get true objectivity from either. That's why so many watch both conservative and liberal news stations to find the truth somewhere inbetween.
As I've said many times in here, it's all about money and ratings. They all cater to their desired audience and furthermore all the networks and news channels are owned by corporations whose primary goal is to make money for the shareholders so they get huge bonuses. Everything else is secondary. People need to see the real truth about the commercial media in this country. Capitalism at it's best folks!
You are not going to get any sort of argument from me on that - All we can do is watch as many sources as possible and ignore the talking heads. I am more than capable of making up my own mind on an issue.
Fox news is fair and balanced. It gives people a voice the liberal DOMINATE media will not. That's what all the whining is about. For some reasons liberals think that absolutely ONLY their views can be expressed and will always whine about non liberal views being express. With that being said, I don't watch FOX news or any other mainstream media and haven't for years now. NONE of them tell the truth and they're not about the truth, only creating sensationalism so they c an sell the news and make a profit.
People need to see that for decades, their only news sources were huge liberal journalistic institutions many of which are socially connected to liberal Democrat politicians and their campaign staffs. The news market lacked an alternate (conservative) source and the market (because of capitalism) provided Fox News. Lest we forget, there is the Internet where one can avail themselves of more 'news' than ever before. Although started by government nerds, the Internet is now a huge market based on capitalism.
Sure, but they remain a conservative media in order to give people a voice that the liberal media won't give. And probably always will. However, I think if I were a billionaire I would create a news agency to compete with them that focuses on facts rather than sensationalism. It probably won't last very long.
The bias of other media outlets has no bearing on whether or not FOX is biased. Counter-bias is still bias. I don't see a problem with biased media, but I think it's pathetic that FOX tries to deny their blatant bias. At least MSNBC is honest about where they stand. I think media outlets should tell the truth, but completely objective media would be boring, unnecessary, and probably impossible. Choosing what to report on is a reflection of bias.
that says it all.the lamestream media is nothing but a TOOL for the government.they dont do any real investigating,they are controlled by the CIA and have CIA plants there. the best news sources are independent sources not controlled by them such as media bypass,american free press,the drudge report and others.
I've got a few links to some info on the American media. This thread seems like a good a place as any to post it. We are lied to about science. At about the 30 minute mark of this video a scientist says that science fraud is common. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buosgl6J3Kw Scientists at the Rand Corporation say that depleted uranium is safe. http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/docs/b04151999_bt170-99.htm There are other scientists who say the opposite. https://www.google.es/search?q=depleted uranium&tbs=vid:1&gws_rd=ssl Here's a scientists who say that it's impossible to get something published in a science journal if it goes against the official version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bAE7FGdNmA (00:16 time mark) Here's another case of official mainstream journals publishing untrue information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1m3TjokVU4 (1:36:40 time mark) It's clear that the government can find scientists willing to sell out and lie. We are lied to about history and the role of the US in the world. http://www.politicalforum.com/history-past-politicians/371897-american-imperialism.html Here's some info on American TV news and newspapers. http://www.thismodernworld.org/arc/1993/93short-attention-span.gif https://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=chomsky+media&aq=f http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=ES&hl=es&v=Wi5h3vZl6uo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbnxsPgcsH0 http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Media/MediaControl_Chomsky.html http://www.chomsky.info/articles/199710--.htm http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Media/media_watch.html http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Propaganda/Propaganda_page.html http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Media_control_propaganda/Media_Control.html http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/official_culture.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=ES&hl=es&v=trWcqxrQgcc http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Herman /Propaganda_System_One.html Almost everything Americans believe about history and what's happening in the world is upside-down from reality.
Journalism/reporting is dead. Every responsible person should consider the bias (lack of) in the media, it's there, the difference being the degree of. Unfortunately the MSM delivers a product it's consumers want, regardless of accuracy.
