Fox does not equal propaganda!

Well, it doesn't. It's just like any other news network, some of the employees may have a bias but that isn't the overall view of the Fox network. I think it's time people stopped picking on Fox and started bugging old CNN or CBS, yes, why hasn't Dan Rather gotten in too much troubel? It bothers me, Fox is just reporting the news the way it is and people are saying it's evil, bias and a tool of the Republicans.

They say that because it is. They present death like a sports match.

But everyone there says it is. I'm saying it isn't!

Just because....

And besides you shouldn't be such an attention seeker. Use the available thread.

Listen, if I wanted attention, I'd start bashing Liberals and homsexuals. This is different. You make me sound like I'm a two year pounding the counter because I'm bored.

Well since you really gave no back up by just going "OOH OOH HE'S DOING IT TOO", now i think about it, you know yourself best then :) Thats exactly what you do sound like darlin.

If you haven't ever read any of my threads before, I'll fill you in: I absolutely hate Fox news, it is bias, stupid, anti-Canadian and pointless like the rest of the network. I simply want to try to take a different approach and see how far I could go before I got caught in some pointless contradiction and I'll have you know, I'm 5, not 2.

Having not watched much Fox News, I can't have much of an opinion. One poll I saw was "Which liberal is more evil? Michael Moore or Al Franken?" Moore won, but O'Reilly said Al Franken is more Satan-esque.

But you are an attention seeker, thats why you make those stupid boards like "WHy don't people believe in God" and that kinda crap.

What the heck do you think threads are on this site? They are to get attention and it's not stupid given there are 160 some posts on it and counting and it's a legitimate question, given many ask why people believe in God.

First, Dan Rather got in a lot of trouble. Where did you hear otherwise?

Fox is reporting news the way it is? I'm sorry... but I can't stop laughing.

Fox isn't evil, but it is misleading, biased, and a tool of Rupurt Mudock so yes a tool of republicans. But more importantly Bush-republicans. The kind that don't care about deficiets, minimum wage, and more.

If most of Fox's employees have a tilt: its possible Fox has a tilt. Can you say same about other news shows?

At best you will say one or two employees of a place, but not most.

It was a joke/attempt to debate in favour of a news network I hate. Backfired I see.

FOX news isn't biased. Why? Bill O'Reilly is, first of all, an independant. Second, both he and Hannity arecommentators. They don't represent a tilt because they show their opinion. The actual reporting is very fair.

Yeah. If someone disagrees with you, they must be stupid.

The actual reporting is very fair. O'Rielly is a registered Republican, and even if he wasn't, he's very conservative. Having only conservative commentary, by the way, and refering to John Kerry as a "flip-flopper" is the "actual reporting," while denying immigrants full human-being status, is pretty damn slanted.

When Dan Rather's story turned out to be wrong, he retracted it and apologized.

Fox News reported that John Kerry had voted 350 times to raise taxes. No retraction. No Apology.

Fox News reported on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. No retraction. No apology.

Fox News reported on Hillary Clinton's attempt to become the vice presidential nominee. No retraction. No apology.

Fox News reported that John Kerry was both pro-life and pro-choice. No retraction regarding the part about him being pro-life. No apology.

Fox News showed the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth TV ads. No retraction. No apology.

Fox News reported that John Kerry had outed Mary Cheney's lesboness (it was actually Dick Cheney who did it several months earlier). No retraction. No apology.
