I am literally nautious...when did fox news OVERTLY become republican mouthpiece? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I used to really like foxnews years ago... when bill oreily had a radio show but was not on TV I listened to him almost every day... I was not watching oriely(sp?) now though, just the normal news with some hosts... here is what I drew out of it:

Why evolution is bad and wrong.

Why homosexuality is bad and wrong(and anyone who practices it, is wrong).

Why liberals hate our troops.


Any time the "defendant" in these cases finally started rationally justify their case, time to go to the next issue! The host who should at least pretend to be neutral was overtly supporting one side on all these issues....

It did not bother me as much in the past even though foxnews as gradually... I watched it because it was LESS overtly partisan then CNN and I was a democrat at the time.....

So utterly partisan... UGH. I literally, feel nautious-that is not a figure of speech, my stomach is churning. I brought a garbage can next to my computer because I feel like I may vomit to know that a large portion of our country turns to this piece of journalistic filth for its information.


G-D bless the internet..... I can't stand to get my news from TV anymore. CNN is all irrelevant filler or worthless lies and foxnews is so overtly partisan it makes me want to vomit-literally, as I watch it.

I'll be back in a few minutes, I am going to see if I can give the procelain lord an offering.

I no longer watch fox news regularly.

I watched it alot during the Iraq war last year. But no more.

I might stop briefly when I'm flipping through channels to see what they are discussing, but that's it.

UGH YOU SLEAZY DOUCHE BAGS!!!!

They are debating with two guests over this mentoring group has a religious affiliation mentoring kids(the group gets state money) and some people cried foul about it.....

NOW the people against this are NOT arguing that its bad for a faith based mentoring organization to be getting funding, they are arguing it is bad if this group is getting obvious preferential treatment for municipal funding(and it is). This group only recruits people from a specific christian group and makes them sign an affidavet of faith....

NO NO NO! That is too sane and too fair so the spin doctor host very subtly begins attacking the people against this group by arguing the constitutionality of faith based mentoring organizations existing and goverment and religion mixing(you can guess which stance it took)-WHILE THE PERSON NEVER CLAIMED THIS!


*changes the chanell and feels more nautious*


Once again as soon as the people who are against the hosts view begin to rationally explain the issue.... next topic!

this is why you only read online news, and avoid the **** that is network telly news as much as you can.

when it's in text, they don't have to fight as much over eyeballs, so there's less vomitatious graphics and annoying cutoffs of the opposing viewpoint.

Well, is it better to have an overt bias so people know where you are coming from, or to have a concealed bias so people think they are getting objective news when in fact they are seeing bias?

No major TV network is as obviously liberal as FOX is obviously conservative.

Of course, it's a perspective thing, but when I think of it and I try to think of it from a moderate point of view, CNN and CBS,ABC,NBC may very well be "liberal" to those to the right of me but they blow FOX away in terms of being balanced.

And now we're going to have someone come up and say "well that's your OPINION!" Of course it is. Good thinking dip. Of course it's my opinion. But there was also a study done one time. If you watched FOX News, you were far more likely to have a conservative opinion on an issue. There wasn't a similar study done for the other networks, but we know one thing: FOX is not fair and balanced. Considering the wide viewer base and limited bias of the others, I seriously doubt that such a study would return similar results for liberal opinions on an issue.

But, lastly, all of this is old news. FOX has been conservative, and everyone else has been flaming liberal Commie America-hating traitors. Nothing new here.

I occasionally watch a few minutes of Fox News... but for the same reason I watch a particularly ugly bug traverse a sidewalk...not because I'm expecting to get any news out of the thing. Rather it's just interesting to observed the functioning of such a horrendous monstrocity.

V, what do you expect from a network who constantaly has Old Glory waving proudly in the upper left of the screen. I am sure you noticed it.

What we REALLY need is a network that proudly flys the hammer and sickle on the screen for you leftist types. You can then tune in to unending propaganda, conspiracy theories and Bush bashing, and be wholly entertained.

This is WAAAAY off topic, but today I was driving back home to MA from ON and noticed as I was driving through Burlington, VT that not ONE house I saw was flying Old Glory. I'm not saying no houses did, but that fact that I didn't see any says something.

Fox News is great. I have learned a lot watching the channel. In fact, learning how valuable and important censorship is to our well being has motivated me to employ censorship in my personal life.

Whenever I go to someone's house, I make sure to access their DirecTV receiver, when no one is looking, and employ "Locks and Limits" (with an unique password only I know) to lock out Fox News.

Coming from a country that actually does have left wing media (SBS and ABC... not liberal, left wing... I hate it how americans use the word liberal)... you can really see how F****ed fox is. I get it at my parent's house on pay tv... it's like watching a parallel universe. The right wing nuts in Australia couldn't hold a candle to the channel... well I guess they could, but our right wing nuts are restricted safely and soundly to radio and editorial columns... the rest is only slightly right wing. CNN is fairly harmless though. Speaking of internet sources... which ones are reliable? What should I be reading... I usually read ABC online (australian broadcasting corporation)...
