Helen asks…
Who else thinks Fox news is is totally on the Republicans side?
Don’t believe me, they have the 3 shows that are Completely Bias for the Republicans Bill O’Rielly, Hannitty’s America, and Huckabee hour.
All three Show Massive support for McCain … still dont believe me just watch fox news.
And i thought fox news said they were Fair and Balanced.
But yet they attack obama on every little Word he or his party says.
And to let everyone know this I am an independent and I cant believe that the people actually watch Fox news.
Michelle answers:
I completely agree with you and it’s sad really.
With Fox News I never cease to be amazed how terrible and unprofessional their reporting is. They call themselves “Fair and Balanced” and use the slogan “We Report. You Decide.” but their reporters so often inject their own personal opinions and feelings into what they are reporting. It’s very hypocritical.
And when they sit around the couch with others they often throw around their opinions so much that I often forget I am watching what is supposed to be the news and feel more like I am watching a gossip/talk show.
If you watch their channel lately it seems that ten minutes won’t pass that they don’t directly or indirectly say something bad about Obama. I mean of course they should report anything bad about anyone but it is far too obvious already that they have some sort of agenda going on.
Unfortunately, their overly anti-Obama stance and side comments will surely get worse as election day gets closer. =(
James asks…
What is the difference between Fox News and MSNBC?
The funniest answer would be something like, “MSNBC is liberal propaganda. Fox News speaks the truth.” I spit out my drink through my nose the first 100 times but it’s getting a little old now.
Thus, the question is asked: What is the difference?
Michelle answers:
They are both “all news” formatted stations who exist only because they can sell enough advertisement space to remain on the air and finance the huge salaries of the “serious newsmen” they employee. The differences: Obviously, they are on different cable stations, and they change the names of the other news stations when they both claim they only report all of the news in a fair and unbalanced way. Additionally, their viewer base is totally different. The person controlling the remote control chooses the version of the news he or she wants to hear.
Be glad that some people still actually stay current on news on a national and global level. I know people who don’t know what day (or year for that matter) national elections are held on. They would be unable to tell you who was President before George W. Bush, and they probably don’t know that Barack Obama is our current President.
John asks…
why do progressives care if Fox News is making up the news?
If they are making up the news, wouldn’t it be hurting their viewership? Who would want to watch news that is fake? Why aren’t progressives encouraging this self destructive behavior by Fox News.
Michelle answers:
Half the population is stupid enough to believe everything they’re told. If no one believed FOX, if other news broadcasts didn’t repeat what they said like it was real, if they weren’t treated like they’re anything other than a joke, it wouldn’t matter, but this is not that world. You can’t be American if you seriously typed that. I wish it were true, it’s not.
Ken asks…
Why do people brag about Fox news being the highest rated show ?
When in fact , 40% of their audience consist of liberals tuning in to get the neo-cons game plan . Without Liberals , Fox news would be at the bottom of the ratings.
Michelle answers:
I agree. There are times when I watch Fox and I am Liberal. That doesn’t mean I agree with them. They’re total propaganda for the GOP even though the claim to be “independents” or “Libertarians”.
The fact is that Liberals are more opened minded than Conservatives. We don’t label everything we don’t agree with as communist and ignore it. Most of us will listen.
