CBS didn't forge anything, but when have you ever let reality stop you before? They completely shit the bed when it came to actually verifying what they discovered, but they didn't forge anything.


I remember back then the New York Post said it was Republican trickster Roger Stone (who, incidently, got his start with Nixon), who was behind the whole thing.
You're right, CBS should've sussed it out, but it wasn't Dan & co. sitting around making fake docs....

I do the same thing, its hard for me to mention how much fox sucks without mentioning how much msnbc sucks. However, Fox has taken journalistic integrity to a new low. For godsakes, Hannity blatantly and clearly used misleading footage and is ANYONE shocked by it? It goes beyond conservative or liberal at this point.

What you might try doing is a little thing called "staying on topic". In a thread about people disliking/liking the Fox News Channel, you are directing the conversation towards Rachel Maddow's sexual orientation.

For some reason I think that may be a bit off-topic.

maddow likes women
therefore he is heterosexual

So apparently there is some flap about Fox News airing misleading videos in connection with their stories. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_ts988) For instance, Hannity had a piece about a protest in DC and commented on how big the crowd was but aired from other events. A similar thing happened recently with coverage of a Palin book signing.

So manipulation of the stories, or mistakes in footage aired? For instance, maybe the Palin book signing did have a huge crowd, and they aired footage of an earlier event. Such a thing would suggest a mistake because there would be no reason to use other video.

Or you could stop believing false reports from the Washington Times. Its a real shock that a NewsCorp agency would lie about the President. (http://www.politico.com/click/stories/0911/boehner_snubs_wh_state_dinner_invite.html)

Barack Obama has offered John Boehner the hottest ticket in town – and he’s turned it down.

A spokesman for the House minority leader said that the White House has invited Boehner to attend next week’s state dinner with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, but that Boehner has declined because he already has plans to be back home in Ohio for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Boehner – who complained earlier this month that Obama’s White House hasn’t invited Republicans over to talk health care since April – attended a state dinner for Queen Elizabeth in 2007, when fellow Republican George W. Bush was president.

It wouldn’t be the first time the opposing party has declined. When Queen Elizabeth II came to Washington for a state dinner in 2007, the event was white tie and Senate leader Harry Reid declined the invitation.

I'm not saying that (and actually never heard that saying before).

People generally do get more conservative over time. To a certain extent, it may only be society's mores change and the people don't as much. Or it could be that as you grow older, you're making more money and less willing to part with the money through taxes.

Having kids can make you more conservative.

People generally do get more conservative over time. To a certain extent, it may only be society's mores change and the people don't as much. Or it could be that as you grow older, you're making more money and less willing to part with the money through taxes.

Having kids can make you more conservative.

It could be that events and trends develop over time so that things that seemed to be radical appear later to be more mainstream, therefore altering our perception.
The whole issue of gay rights once seemed like an extremely leftist issue but today is more mainstream.
The same can be said of national health care.
Anyone heard Pat Buchannon lately?
He doesn't seem to be as far out on the extreme the way he once was, but now seems more orthodox in some ways...

The last time I saw what he was saying, it seemed to repudiate, to a certain extent, a bunch of what the Republican party was advocating. I can't remember details, and it may have had more to do with Bush's neo-con views, but that was the impression I had.

For the simple reason that people hate a news channel, is exactly why I love FOX.

MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC all are decidedly left-leaning. Most would consider that, (along with a handful of rag newspapers) 'The Mainstream Media.'

FOX touts that it destroys the ratings of MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC. And to their credit, FOX is correct. FOX also has a collective habit of pointing out that the, 'Mainstream Media' overlooks most stories FOX covers. But, if more people are watching one news channel as opposed to 5 news channels, wouldn't FOX actually be more mainstream than ALL the other blathering crap that is out there?
FOX fails to point that out and FOX is anything but fair and balanced, but niether are the others clowns.

CLICK the link below & you will see something Great that FOX put out on their web-site that is topical and actually gives both sides of a ridiculous argument:

http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/politics/2009/12/09/outrageous-remarks-health-care-debate

The content on FOX is as utterly unbelievable and insufferable as the likes of MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC. The difference is the lean and the fact that their lean can make people so damn mad, honestly is a delight to me.

The quicker you realize that its all crap, the better off you'll be. So yes, I HATE FOXNEWS too...But, I hate YOU more for getting all riled up about it.

But, if more people are watching one news channel as opposed to 5 news channels, wouldn't FOX actually be more mainstream than ALL the other blathering crap that is out there?
Well I think they are just in first place all the other stations out number them as a whole. CNN tries to be center but usually fails with all the PC bullshit, MSNBC is just an act to get ratings, they dont believe all the shit they peddle.

Are you serious? How is it that you know why people watch what they watch, and think what they think? Do you have such little faith in any given person’s individual power of reasoning, and/or their ability to form and hold a viewpoint, that you can claim that one person listening to another is dangerous and ignorant? Who is not giving someone else a chance or room for thought? I am not talking about or defending FOX news or any other cable network here - but how can you generalize like that?.

When a person's individual power if reasoning is based solely on watching a specific news channel, which is more opinion than news, then they're just repeating what they've heard, with no thought into what the other side's point might me. So, yes, I am serious.

Is that far-fetched? Not when a leading member of the ruling family of the totalitarian kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, has made himself the second-largest shareholder of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., Fox News Channel’s parent company.

I don't watch day time "news" or any news. But, if that is a reflection of what is going on, Jerry Springer is the only hope we have.

I liked the reporters question,"Do you think this giant expensive bill that will cost gazillions of dollars and lead to death camps should be scraped?" Intelligent "Joe the Plumber" replies,"Ah, yeah, what you said." And that is with editing!

It really is Orwellian. "Down your throat." Over and over again until it must be true.

I'm sure that when Glenn Beck learned he could have Eric Massa, who's resigned his House seat amid allegations of sexual harassment, on his show, he loved it. After all, Massa is claiming that the actual reason he's being tossed out on his ass is due to the fact he is opposed to the Obama administration's health care plan. And Beck is very much with him there. So this is just what Beck wants, right?

Well, I don't think he wanted what he ended up getting. First, the night began on a note of creepiness that Lord Jezo or Hottub would find uncomfortable, pretty much confirming that this guy is a total pervert who probably does like to grope guys. So from the beginning, what Beck was hoping Massa would give him -- damning evidence against the Obama Administration -- was shot to hell.

Conservatives had hopes that the now-former Democratic congressman from Upstate New York, who resigned abruptly under an ethics cloud, would deliver the goods about corruption and strong-arm tactics in the Obama White House and Congress. But instead, Massa served up an icky new confession.

"Now they're saying I groped a male staffer," he volunteered. "Yeah, I did. Not only did I grope him, I tickled him until he couldn't breathe and then four guys jumped on top of me. It was my 50th birthday."

Beck looked aghast. "Was your wife at that one?" the Fox News Channel host asked.

"No, this was in a townhouse; we all lived together, all the bachelors and me," Massa explained. "My chief of staff had a conniption and said, 'You can't live there, that's not congressional.' "

Beck tried to move the conversation in a different direction, but his guest resisted. "Let me show you something," Massa proposed, proffering a book with photos of bawdy Navy rituals from the days when he was a sailor.

"You're going to show me tickle fights?" Beck inquired.

"I'm going to show you a lot more than tickle fights," Massa promised. Beck put on his reading glasses, then judged that the images should not be shown on television. "It looks like an orgy in 'Caligula,' " Massa asserted.


Massa did get in a nice shot at Beck and his brain-dead teabagger audience:

Massa suggested that Beck "stop calling fellow Americans names . . . socialist, communist, whatever the case may be." He also told the conservative audience: "You can't show up at a 'tea party' rally and claim that the entire budget deficit happened this year."


And in the end, Beck said what we have all wanted him to say for a very long time:

"America, I've got to shoot straight with you," he said, looking into the camera. "I think I've wasted your time. I think this is the first time I have wasted an hour of your time, and I apologize for that."


Believe me, Glenn, that wasn't the first show you should have apologized for.

So Fox & Friends, Fox News' frothy, bubbly morning show, had lots of stuff about the Teabaggers having a party in Nevada this weekend, then had Bernie Goldberg on to talk about how the mean old mainstream media is portraying the Teabaggers as racist nutbars.

So one of the hosts then had on a guest to show that the Teabagger movement is perfectly sane -- former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson.

Hilarity, and a whole metric asston of fail -- follows.

Unfortunately, Doocy appeared to be unaware of what Jackson has been up to since she left SNL in 1992 -- you know, how she's said that Obama "bears traits that resemble the anti-Christ" and shares "so many similar qualities" with Adolf Hitler (i.e.: "Obama's current attitude toward Israel is in question. Hitler did not support Jews.").

Not surprisingly, the interview went south in record time:

DOOCY: So, are you ready to join the tea party people?

JACKSON: I am the tea party people. We're beginners at this political activism and it's all new to us and it's kind of cute 'cause we're shy, we hold up our signs like this, you know, despite what they say about us, I have never done anything like this, but we have to because the president is a Communist.

BP Oil Spill, NYC Terror Plot: Limbaugh & Co. Go Nuts (http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/05/bp-oil-spill-nyc-terror-plot-limbaugh-and-co-go-nuts/)

this week former (and disgraced) FEMA chief Michael Brown on Fox News Channel asserted that President Obama had permitted the BP oil leak to continue for days in order to justify reversing course on expanding offshore drilling to "pander to the environmentalists." And Fox host Neil Cavuto nodded.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs seems to believe so. At Tuesday's daily briefing, he lit into Fox News correspondent Wendell Goler about the Michael Brown interview. When Goler asked the already-clichéd question -- is the spill "Obama's Katrina"? -- Gibbs noted it was essentially pointless to answer a Fox News query:

I'm not entirely sure that a factual answer that I might give to any one of your questions is going to change the notion that your network put out the former FEMA director to make an accusation that the well had been purposely set off in order to change an offshore drilling decision.

Gibbs also told Goler that he and Major Garrett, another Fox correspondent who covers the White House, ought to "get on a conference call and maybe do some work."

This is why I don't understand the comparison. The only way this should be compared to Katrina is if there's a natural disaster (strike 1, probably) that kills or injures hundreds of people (strike 2) and the government has no response to people clearly in desperate need of aid(strike 3).

It is different. But I can see why people group it into the same category. Most likely because of where it is. But considering how much this will effect business and people down by the gulf, it is a real big deal.

Is it the same loss of property and life? No. But it is an extreme loss of an ecosystem.

It is a huge deal. I agree, and this is why I'm against off-shore drilling and against Obama being for it. I am incredibly angry Obama supports it.

However, comparing this to Katrina is apples and oranges. The government DID respond, they just probably did not respond the right way, but from what I've read even that is up for debate. That is sooooo different than the criticism of ALL levels of government (not just Bush). It's really just a political point to call it Obama's Katrina. It would be like if I were to call the pirate fiasco some months back "Obama's Iraq" and claim victory for Obama. They are completely different.

Fox News shareholder funded ‘Ground Zero mosque’ imam: report (http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0821/fox-shareholder-funded-mosque-imam/)

The second largest shareholder in News Corp. -- the parent company of Fox News -- has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes linked to the imam planning to build a Muslim community center and mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan, says a report from Yahoo!News.

According to the report from Yahoo!'s John Cook, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who owns seven percent of News Corp., "has directly funded [Imam Feisal Abdul] Rauf's projects to the tune of more than $300,000."

Cook reports that Prince Al-Waleed's personal charity, the Kingdom Foundation, donated $305,000 to Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow, a project sponsored by two of Rauf's initiatives, the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Initiative, which is building the Manhattan mosque.

Obama: Fox News is 'destructive' to America (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/28/obama-fox-news-is-destructive-to-america/?iref=NS1)

Love him or hate him, good for him calling them out.

President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."

In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.

"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view," Obama told the magazine.


Officials in the Obama White House have long made Fox News a punching bag, launching a full blown offensive last year when aides declared the network to be "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said the cable outlet "operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," and top aide Valerie Jarret called Fox "clearly biased."

But the new comments from Obama constitute the president's most direct attack yet on the network owned by business mogul Rupert Murdoch.

Fox News pushes "a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world," Obama said.

"But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful."

Fox has yet to respond to the president. But during the administration offensive against the network last year, network spokesman Michael Clemente slammed the White House for continuing "to declare war on a news organization instead of focusing on the critical issues that Americans are concerned about."

Bad move! All it does is give those feebs even more ammo! Unless he's breaking down specific things they got wrong or lied about it, it's too easy for that to just be spun as sour grapes!

Once again when off script he has a tendency to say idiotic things.

Fox news destructive to America? How about his failed economic policies, Continuing an unwinnable war in Afghanistan, warrantless wiretapping, high unemployment, record amounts of foreclosures, our massive debt obligations to China like that isn't destructive? No, the 800lb Gorilla in the room is Ruppert Murdoch

Yeah, the key to battling Fox News is give concrete examples of why it's garbage. Even beyond any politics here, show why Fox News either outright lies or distorts the news.

A prime example would be all their scary reports about the "Ground Zero Mosque" (sic) that never got around to mentioning that one of the biggest funders of the group that is putting up the mosque is one of News Corps biggest stockholders.

The difference is that tt the right wing actually listens to fox, orielly, hannity, beck, and other paid "commentators" (palin, gingrich, huckabee, rove.)

On the other hand, people on the left dont turn to msnbc. Maybe attack the economist and the new yorker; then you might have a point.

Obama shouldnt even acknowledge their bullshit. But he is right to a point. Fox news is harmful because it encourages divisiveness and it feeds the sheep bullshit. Its not their fault their viewers are stupid enough to believe all the bullshit they spit out, but it doesnt make them any less harmful.

They are the Jim Jones of "news".

with pleasure. the depth of a nytimes vs. orielly/beck/hannity. its the difference between wanting something that takes time to read- that has background, versus constantlyh spewing mottos without any real appreciation of the history, theory, or just plain old facts behind an issue.

Not a fan of those blowhards as they are cheerleaders for the establishment. But the Times has problems of its own with plaigarism ie Maureen Dowd, Jayson Blair

Also Krugmans articles are the same thing. More stimulus needed. Frank Rich is such a bore with his repetitive columns every sunday

You can pick out problems here and there, but the generality is that the nytimes has way more depth than fox news. and the comparison between what the right follows and the left follows is fox news vs. nytimes, and there is no comparison for intellectual depth. You may personally not be fans of beck/hannity/orielly, but the question was influential media on the right vs. left.

The times is in dire financial trouble. They had to take a loan from Carlos Slim the Mexican billionaire. While I agree print media all around is in trouble due to online access now but there should be no bailout of the newspaper industry. I know there was talk about that last year

the fact that in the era where you can get the nytimes for free online and it is losing money doesn't mean that it isn't a better representation of the left's choice for information vs. msnbc. it also doesn't change the fact that it is intellectually superior to foxnews.
