Boycott Fox News

After the debate yesterday they said Dr Ron Paul won the text in votes for who won by 34% the next closest was Huckabe @ 23% then somewhere near the bottom was GHULIANI and even with that the only one they could talk about winning was GHUL shrugging off there own poll and they totally black listed him the next day by not even mentioning his name I mean WTF??? They asked him why he has not won any polls other then the online ones and he replied That he was never put in them. I mean C'mon he pulled more money in then half the gop put together from military members and colledge kids. 5Mil is a lot when it comes at an average of $40 a donation.... Speaks for it self... Help BOYCOTT the NeoCon Pro WARMONGERING FOX NEWS! Get the word out about PAUL and spread the Liberty! GOOGLE RON PAUL! if you havent already done so... I mean its OUR future not just the corperations!

 

umm... if they said Ron Paul won, and you support Ron Paul, what's your problem with them?

and Giuliani sucks...

 

I don't pay attention to any of the tv news sources. I haven't for a long time. Now you see why. This is really nothing new. They do this with everything. So who could trust them to bring you the news?

 

no they just said it once while the poll was being done, and actually the only words they said where bad like oh its just a bunch of ron paul supporters that take the poll, then he discredited his own poll. And they still said In there opinion from the selected people they interviewed that where hand picked to be in the audience said GHOULIANI won.... and if you look at the times for answers and the amount of questions given plus everything else they are shoving GUOLIANI in our faces along with BILLARY!! If they gave Dr Paul a fraction of the publicity you all would know who he is and he would be BLOWING the doors off of everyone else...... period! check him out www.ronpaul2008.com or www.voteronpaul.com they black listed him because he isnt down for what they do and whats going on.... Just look his videos up on youtube he is the only one who makes sense...

 

I love Fox News, its hte only channel that isnt Liberal Biased.

 

That's because it's conservative biased.

And actually, CSPAN isn't really biased, but most people would probably find it pretty boring.

 

truff, but if the others are going to be liberal biased, it's good to have at least one that's conservative biased, so the mindless sheep don't all be liberals

 

Thats why I get my news on CNN and Fox, then take the two bias and put together my own interpretations.

 

Yes... honestly... boycott all of the mainstream media.

There are plenty of independent sources out there.

Even though The O'Reilly Factor is ridiculously entertaining.

 

I also get news from word of mouth, articles on the web, talk radio, Internet News sites, etc etc etc.

I was just using those as examples.
And if all of thsoe are lying to me, then there is nothing I can do.

 

Actually, Fox doesn't have a news division. It has a PR/spin division dedicated to pressing the right wing of the GOP's agenda. The lines "fair and balanced" and "we report--you decide" are examples of the right wing's misinformation campaign. The plan is to offer the most biased reports they can, then insist they are objective news--just to see if they can get a lot of people to fall for it. This country is gradually turning away from such nonsense, and we are becoming stronger for it.

 

Don't you think that's a bit too much?

Fox News may be shitty, but they're not that bad. They only have a bad image because of shows like The O'Reilly Factor, but honestly... Bill isn't news, it's an opinion show. Fox News itself is just as bad as Cnn and the rest, but it's not as right-wing oriented as you think. It's actually rather centralist, Hannity and Holmes (I think that's his name) are both very middle of the road (one leaning a bit left, the other a bit right), Bill O'Reilly believes that he is god, so you cannot truly classify him into a category... and the rest of them, are just well... reporters.

 

Skip, I appreciate the support, but I can't help noticing that Rubin offered a reasonable, respectful disagreement to my position. He didn't call me names, and he didn't trash my position with insults. I wholeheartedly believe that Fox is so far to the right as to remove them from the "news" category and put them squarely into the "propaganda" category. Rubin disagrees. As long as he states his position respectfully, I support his right to disagree with me.

 

Wtf?

How the hell did you manage to get to that out of my post?

I don't watch Fox News, I don't watch the news period... did you completely igonre my other post about independent media?

Yes, the damn talking heads are reporters... they report (not objectively), yet yes... that's their job... they are reporters, just like Bush is the president. I'm not saying that they're good at what they do, all I'm saying is that they read a scantron and have no say in what they read.

Just admit it Skip... you don't like me. I don't see why else you would systematically pick on me.

 

Thank you, and I would love to continue the discussion.

I do see where you're coming from though, Fox News seems to be by far more patriotic than any of the other stations, and they always manage to bring rather stupid liberals to defend the liberal positions... but yet again, I think that Fox News tends to offer interesting perspectives on global situations... not necessarily the right or the unbiased perspective, but truly an interesting one. Fox News always seems to report the news in connection with how they will affect the US and US interest, while the other stations seem to be a tad more global oriented.

 

I watch Fox News with my stepdad whenever I visit my folks, I find Fox News rather very entertaining. I do not watch it by myself though, yet it's always nice to argue with my stepdad about something good ol' Bill said over a beer.

Yes, I know that Fox News is bullshit. It's no secret.

All I state Skip, is my opinion... nothing more, nothing less. This is a discussion board, and I discuss.
