[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;21526137]I'm excited to have glaber back, now I can beat myself senseless against a wall again for everyone one of his posts that's empty, stupid, and full of shit. Meaning, I'll be brain dead soon folks.[/QUOTE] I think that's how fox gets new viewers.
You don't want to become a Fox News watcher now do you?
The lines, read between them.
[QUOTE=Glaber;21526426]You don't want to become a Fox News watcher now do you?[/QUOTE] No, we don't want to be like you, blindly believing the shit they spew out and create. We prefer to you know, get the news from as many sources as possible.

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21524183]No, he's just drinking industrial-size barrels of :foxnews:'s Flavor Aid.[/QUOTE] Alright, you've got a problem with Fox News like every other person who can't come up with an original hate. Let's hear it, then. What can you accuse Fox News of that I couldn't use against your favorite news channel?
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;21524165]Oh? What else has Fox News taught you?[/QUOTE] Oh? What else has CNN/MSNBC taught you?

sigh.... Anything that doesn't include the word Tax eventually increases the tab.
[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21527871]Extreme bias. [img]http://i.imgur.com/vTglt.png[/img][/QUOTE] You realize that's Fox Nation? Their punditry and commentary site?

What can you accuse Fox News of that I couldn't use against your favorite news channel?[/QUOTE] Lets see, has any news station besides fox fabricated a story out of thin air to support their views? No. Has any station purposefully tried to mis-represent views to make themselves seem credible? Yes, but never to that degree unlike Fox. Do other pundits pretend to have debates, and when unable to debate correctly turn off the opponents mic and just shut them off? Nope. Does anyone else slate themselves as being fair and balanced while entirely missing the point of being fair and balanced? Nope.

I still haven't seen one credible point concerning their news programming and reporting.

[QUOTE=Alteir;21528165]Don't forget that they rig polls so the side that doesn't support their views can't go past 50%.[/QUOTE] Reference? You'll probably link an opt-in web poll, or an opt-in boadcast poll. Why do I even ask?
[QUOTE=yawmwen;21525435] I thought the whole deal was supposed to lower costs while providing more coverage.[/QUOTE] Lower costs for the individual.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;21526531]No, we don't want to be like you, blindly believing the shit they spew out and create. We prefer to you know, get the news from as many sources as possible.[/QUOTE] Because people don't choose what they want to watch? Ever considered that Fox was an almost unheard-of station just 10 years ago, and gained all of their viewership in that time? You lose a lot of your credibility after ignoring the fact that so many people stopped watching every other station because they had a choice in the matter. Doesn't helped that they've become more biased over this decade in response to the rise of Fox, and continue to lose viewership.

You could just as easily listen to the radio or have gotten a digital converter box instead of footing the cable or satellite bill every month.

[QUOTE=Glaber;21527293]Eh, yawmwen provided the set up.[/QUOTE] No, i mean you poke fun at yourself in weird ways that make me think you're not taking yourself seriously, which combined with your extreme views just hints at something. Or you're just being jovial, I dunno

[QUOTE=nERVEcenter;21527974]You're referring entirely to their commentary programming. I still haven't seen one credible point concerning their news programming and reporting.[/QUOTE] How about this: they reported that climate change was "far from a settled science" even though [url=http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686]there is widespread scientific consensus[/url]. Their source for that information was a guy from the Cato Institute, which is a right-wing think tank, and has no scientific credibility whatsoever.

That's definitely titling bias, but it's nothing new on both the left and the right. CNN and MSNBC have done it many times. And please don't tell me that Hannity said it.
I linked youtube not hardball [editline]02:27PM[/editline] pay attention to the part that matthews tells you to pay attention to.

Hey look, Fox News inserting political opinions into news! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYA9ufivbDw[/media]
[QUOTE=Lambeth;21528745]there was also this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2NLXFx7KSM[/media][/QUOTE] You're missing my point. Fox News' commentary and punditry is biased. Everything on primetime, pre-empting with Beck and continuing with Hannity late into the night, it's all commentary and punditry. So is Hardball. So are The Young Turks. You're only serving to prove the obvious: That Glenn Beck is against Net Neutrality. Yay. He's a commentator. He's biased.
