Why Lie Fox? (Political Photoshop)

See, this is the main reason why no one with a grain of sanity trusts Fox News. Their entire mission in life is to not report anything that isn't in staunch opposition to liberal views. I could almost respect them for presenting full on positive conservative coverage, but it's not even a GOP channel, it's just an anti-liberal channel. The far right commentators and analysts on Fox News like Bill O'Riley, Glen Beck and of course Sean Hannity need to go play in traffic somewhere. Seriously. Whatever happened to journalistic integrity? The whole thing goes flopping out the window the minute that Liberals/Democrats make ground.

If anything, coverage should be "fair and balanced" (which is a running gag with Fox News) for the simple fact that in the midst of economic depression, job loss and war-time politics, the American people need to be galvanized and not polarized. The views expressed on these broadcasts only serves to further drive a wedge amongst those who feel they have to choose a side. Instead of promoting self-authorship and critical thinking, these crown prince's of obtuse political profundity only seek to push an anti-liberal agenda with complete disregard for the good-will of the nation.

I'm not naive, but there's a distinct difference in reporting the news as it is and allowing the viewing public to draw conclusions, or even blowing the lid off of a controversy. But these idiots are just plain making stuff up!



And what's sad is that it takes Comedy Central personalities like Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert to point it out!?!?! They specialize in satire, yet at least through the punchline you get a much more accurate portrait. In stead you get the most disrespectful commentary on a U.S. president I've ever heard...

And I've been to anti-bush rallies, that's saying a lot.

Fox News spreads fear and hatred, racism and divisive coverage of true issues. Their clear cut support of the G.O.P. is so blinding they could never be objective in reporting the news accurately to the American people, at least not when it comes to Politics.

Take the whole changing of the guard in recent weeks where the big fuss was made as two Republicans unseated two Democrats in their positions...this was supposed to represent a new era and an indication of people's displeasure with Barack Obama and the Democratic party. But in the same week a Democrat unseated a Republican candidate. In the same fashion as the aforementioned. A long history of one type of politics getting the switch. If anything it's positively reflecting Obama's campaign and impact. It's not about left or right, it's about change. People are ready for something different. Even though I don't agree with voting on a party just for a change of pace, at least people aren't as afraid of what's different, otherwise you wouldn't have a Barack Hussein Obama to kick around.

Needless to say I don't watch Fox News. I don't even watch their network. I'll Hulu House, The Simpsons and Family Guy...they can really keep the rest. I don't see how Fox has all right wing news but left wing comedy...I guess I should wait until Peter Griffin or Homer Simpson says something about politics to hear the truth from Fox.

  1. I sometimes play a game with myself to try to see how long I can sit and watch Fox News without yelling and cursing at the screen. One time I made it 40 whole seconds.

    I actually watched an interview with Seth MacFarlane, which addressed the duality of Rupert Murdoch having extremely conservative views, yet employing MacFarlane and Matt Groening, who present very strong opposition to those views. MacFarlane, who openly and vehemently criticizes extreme conservative views (such as those of Fox News), said that in the end, Murdoch is a businessman, and that like many of those with extremely conservative views, all he cares about is making money.
