    Doubt it. They just have a different opinion, it is allowed.

    having a different opinion and outright lying, distorting the truth, starting the tea party to overtake the gop and becoming the voice/puppetmaster of the gop are completely different things.

    But... they are a Fair and Balanced news station with true journalism hard at work! At least that's what they tell me so it MUST be true!

  • MSNBC is certainly a bit more left-leaning than most other national news agencies.

    However... Fox "news" actually is banned in Canada because Canada has a law against lying in the news... MSNBC... they're allowed in Canada.

    Fox "news" has often done things like have video of the president and written "Barrack Osama" over it.

    There have been about 50 instances of Republicans being arrested or caught in a corruption scandal that Fox "news" has magically and "accidentally" put a "D" in front of their name.

    Fox "news" has repeatedly been caught fudging stories, running outright lies as "the other side of the argument" and not sewn Gretchen Carlson's mouth shut which should be a felony.

    Fox "news" is not a legitimate news agency.

    Link? I rarely pay attention to advertising. Probably because I studied it in college.

    And yet we have to keep repeating it more than Fox "news" has repeated "continuing questions about the president's birth certificate" and "why has he not released his college records?"

    I didn't realize Canada censored news stations.

    I like Fox News, it's entertaining, though I don't get to see it much.
    Do I believe everything I hear? No I learned long ago
    if an opinion is involved it's often not based in the truest of truth.

    Now my Fox News here in Atl is my favorite for nightly local news
    and 11 Alive is a favorite in the morning. CNN is a good anytime news ,
    Weather Channel holds a special place in my heart
    and the National evening news is lovely with Diane Sawyer.
    Point is, switch around and listen to it all. Just listen and enjoy. If some news can make me smile
    then that's a good thing, rare and good.

    I like it too, I find it funny. I also know that anything that is really wrong will be reported on Fox News while the other party has the White House. It is not as entertaining for me when a Republican is in office. I am even willing to accept that their deliberate dishonesty, lies and paths to their desired truth does not make them stone cold liars. I conclude that for the most part, they believe sincerely that they are superior people working hard to lead the stupid (me) to a place that is better for all. And the lies are merely tools to help my feeble mind get to the same place that their superiour mind has brought them.

    As far as a generalization, I've always felt the Democrats have the air of superiority,
    like they're too cool for the rest of the world.
    I pretty much just found Fox News in the last year or so from people here on the board.
    Had to check it out to see what was the ruckus. I like some of the commentators
    but then I've been told I like pretty much everybody.
    I just listen and I guess I don't take it too much to heart, to each their own.
    It is more fun with more wine ;):D

    I find it is the other side calling it lies so how much can one believe that?
    Sometimes I think there is two sides to truth.

    their mission statement must be something like "i am going to continue to state opinions as news and sooner or later people are going to like the opinions more than the facts :fp:

    you can sugar coat opinions. most facts can not be sugarcoated when it comes to news.

    People's truths are different and very much based on opinions.
    Much of what I see on Fox News is just that opinions.

    do you honestly think anyone in the tea party is going to criticize fox news? they sponsored and plugged the tea party rallies.. of course the gop is not going to criticize the network that gives them their marching orders. how badly did fox blow the election coverage? they were telling everyone in the weeks leading up to election night that romney was going to win in a landslide and it made their own voters stay at home. fox news contributors and their audience live in a bubble. look at karl rove making an ass of himself election night.

    it must be pretty convenient to blame the "liberal media" because clearly reality has a liberal bias..

    is it called "fox news" or "fox opinions"?

    and by definition, TRUTH and OPINION are mutually exclusive.

    very true

    The shows I've caught are pretty much opinions on the news.That is always how I have taken
    what I've watched. So I guess I wouldn't call it so much lying as stretching the truth
    and fitting it nicely into opinion.
    The channel seems to speak to many Americans who agree with the opinions.
    I have noticed they enjoy pointing out the blunders of the Democrats
    but then I see the same from the Democrats. And then if one is left leaning one would
    believe all that. I really don't see a lot of difference but I will definitely check out your link.

    I hope no one believes they're getting 'news' when watching tv...flipping between fox and cnn sure as hell doesn't give you both 'sides' :lol: If you're hearing sides, you can probably rest assured that they're not talking about the real issues. They report a snapshot of a situation. Then they argue about their angles for hours, with hand picked 'experts' giving (or omitting) context for their 'sides', as they see fit.
    Unless of course there is live footage of americans or american allied people suffering a disaster somewhere. Then that daze-inducing cacophony is interrupted for a contest to find the most jaw-dropping, gut-wrenching footage. Its such complete crap. All of it, and it's getting worse.
