NOT FAIR AND BALANCED * FOX NEWS online EFFORT TO ELECT THE ONE

Posted on 09/28/2008 7:52:31 AM PDT by RED SOUTH

I can't tell the difference between foxnews.com or cnn.com these days. Even yesterday they headlined an Obama debate victory based on.. guess what.. not their own poll but CNN's. They spun the thing the same was as CBS and CNN.

I remember in 2004 how Fox became more and more liberally biased as voting day neared. They’re doing it again. My husband, who is unaware of any of the media-bias drama, came into my office yesterday and said, you know, I think Fox news if pulling for Obama. Even he noticed it. It’s real. They’re all Democrats pretending to be conservatives, and they do a decent job until push comes to shove. Then they cave.

Fox is the closest thing we have to “fair and balanced.” Period. That does NOT mean that they are Conservative/GOP hacks and ONLY report positive or pro conservative/GOP news/views.

As long as they are giving the conservative and/or GOP perspective that’s light years ahead of what it was before FOX and mostly still is.

It is entertainment not news. The MSM has decided Obama will keep more people watching and getting mad. The country is divided. Obama will keep the ratings up and keep people watching these stupid news programs.

They’re just making sure the ‘pubbies stay motivated. Don’t want to get complacent!
(Uncertain whether that’s sarcasm or not...)

Foxnews is the only one on the Acorn provision in the bail out bill. Hitting it hard. John Fund is on about every two hours saying how Barama is tied to Acorn.

Not true, Fox News is on almost 24/7 in my house and I would be the first not to watch if that were true. On fact Chris Wallace was on just now and he is saying that McCain deserves credit on negotiationg this bill, he actually did work with repubs to get this done, and it wasn’t anywhere near done before he came in, he also said that while Obama may have talked on the phone about, and started crap in that meeting that day,that meetings like that are not where the job gets done and that McCain did more than Obama did on this. I can’t imagine this bill being as it first was if McCain was involved especially with the conservative repubs so against it, so McCain could come out on top in this one.

They had a man on the other day and it was about his son being banned at school for wearing a anti obama shirt .

Well the woman asked about his father taking his son to anti abortion meetings and he said he does.

You can hear the woman reporter say sick.

anyone else noticed how FOX has much more Dems on now, before the Dems wanted to ban FOX now they are on Fox in droves, even Kerry this morning.

They haven’t done a good job of telling who ACORN and La Raza and they really haven’t done a good job of tying obama to ACORN, Biden getting earmarks and how the Dems tried to rush it though before many had seen the bill

he does come out on top with FR but the rest of the media has lambasted him for “getting in the way” and that will be the overall lasting impression.

Fox has become more blatantly republican the last year, not less.

Whether they are or not generally, they still regularly have several conservative commentators like Krauthammer, Hannity, Kristol, Cavuto, etc. They are always worth watching. I don’t watch the other trash channels cnn, cbs, nbc...

Even some of the Republican "spokespeople" they have on lean left.
Last week some young GOP babe said she was for gay marriage and said it was a generational thing, not a moral issue.
In other words - we "older" conservatives are bigots.

Fox isn’t slipping, they are letting their rhino true self show like we’ve seen with other personalities and outlets this year. Now they have this new live internet video talk show which is interesting and revealing because the personalities ‘let their hair down’.....rhino stampede!

There is room for another news network. A low key, facts orientated(not personality), that uses the best of the internet voices...no long term contracts or book promotions every year. CSPAN with a pulse (and real call screening).

This morning that MORON Chris Wallace lambasts Lindsay Graham for his earmarks and says nothing about Kerrys ,And sats nothingg to Kerry about being Number 3 On the List of Recepients from Fannie And Freddie.
IF THE DEMOCRATS SAY SOMETHING IT IS FACT and that is it , NOBODY questions them on anything they have done NOT EVEN MCCAIN WHAT A BUNCH OF COWARDS ! No one speaks for traditional Americans . This Marxist has and will sail right into the White House as an Impostor ready to wreak Havock on this country and as each day goes by I am resigning myself to that fact and beginning to say GOOD because we deserve it for being a bunch of Lazy uninformed bunch of boobs that make decisions on FEELINGS and if PEOPLE LOOK Presidential .This whole exercise is Pathetic

I SAW THAT

I was fuming about that, I’;m 29 and my kids are 10, 7 and 5 and we all know that homosexuality is disgusting.

Not a geberation thing at all.

two weeks ago a boy and teenage boy was on here who kept saying he wanted his two boy friends at school to get arried and they should adopt older kids as he knew they would be good fathers

WTF

anyway he was banned but he did reregister again but I have not seen him around.

He also said that us older republicans have to change and that his ilk will change the party

NO CHANCE

Yea I used to watch Fox News but they have really changed over the past 3 years, especially Bill O Riley. These guys have been in the tank for the Dems for some time now. I remember when Bill predicted that Hillary would win hands down. Fox has gone down the tubes.
