Obama Administration Gets Caught Red Handed Using Media To Spin News!

I guess this means you can't back up your assertions with anything but, take your word for it?
Don't worry canndo, I already knew you couldn't.
Just pointing out your hypocrisy is all, I wouldn't get your panties in a wad over it.

You see, you think I'm defending Fox News but I'm not, I'm just pointing out the fact that lefties like you can't back up your BS and when I gave you the chance you folded like a cheap suit!

And as far as the Mitt Romney and the Fox News opinion analysts goes, I could care less, I get all the political opinions I want on this forum!

Furthermore Beenthere. I have already posted several polls indicating that FOX news watchers are less knowlegable than those who watch other news channels.

I don't recall, did you ever comment on those? The point here is that if a FOX consumer is less informed than, say, an ABC news watcher, then there can only be two reasons.

1. Fox news watchers are not as intelligent as watchers of other news channels or
2. Fox news does not inform it's consumers - which is identical to bias.

Got a response?

Canndo, you folded when given the chance to prove your claims, I rest my case.
No need to ask me more questions when you won't back up what you say.
And for the record canndo, I could care less about Fox News because, I'M NOT A FOX NEWS SUPPORTER!

You requested proof from me that FOX is not a news organization.

I told you that I had posted previously, polls indicating that FOX watchers are less informed. Then I told you the only two reasons this could be.

Rather than engage, you play games "Time's up, I win". If you want to talk about this, fine, if you want to play gotcha games by some set of rules only you seem to know, tell me.

Will you comment on those polls or not?

I asked you to prove that Fox news reports misleading or false stories any more that the rest of the media news outlets, you failed!
I told you that I had posted previously, polls indicating that FOX watchers are less informed. I didn't ask for previous polls now did I, when you were harping on me in the past for not answering your questions would my saying "I've previously posted them in other threads" sufficed ? Then I told you the only two reasons this could be.

You didnt factor in that the poll could have been biased. But that is not surprising coming from you.

5 polls, all biased? (there are 8 total that all show the same thing).

How would you instill bias in something such as "is Fox your primary news source"?


And then "Is Saddam Hussein responsible for the 9/11 attacks"

you abuse exclamation points, you grow shitty plants, you don't own a business, you don't have a business degree, and you're a lying sack of shit about everything.

shut the fuck up clayton, you racist piece of garbage.

the media is run by human beings,and human beings will always end up siding with one person more than another.
you have left wing media,and right wing media,its nothing new.and ofcourse the media will always put their own spin on things to suit their argument,its something that many of us also do.

but regardless,obama is the better man,so i hope he wins.

The problem here is the presumption that "both sides do it", and somehow, because they do, everything balances out. This is not only false but a dangerous way of thinking. It has us believe that if we listen to both "sides" we will get a clear picture. It has us believe that the actual pull of bias is neutral. It isn't. The right has all media cowed into believing that they must go out of their way to avoid the appearance of left leaning bias. Furthermore, it has legitimate news sources refraining from fact checking and investigation only to simply repeat what a person in the news says as though that is honest journalism. "A scientist today said that the moon is shrinking" "Those on the other side say it is not".

That isn't journalism.

Is that link supposed to be funny or are you completely ignorant about just exactly what the Daily Caller is?

Founded by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and Republican politician Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney, The Daily Caller launched on January 11, 2010

High-profile contributors include conservative Mary Katharine Ham, conservative Ginni Thomas (wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas), blog pioneer Mickey Kaus (Kausfiles), conservative reporter Matt Lewis, and Republican strategist Roger Stone, who serves as the site's "male fashion correspondent"

Yeah, argue against pushing the left right paradigm by posting a link from the baby brother of Faux News.
