Sandy asks…
How many of you actually believe FOX news is Fair and Balanced?
I don’t want to hear about CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or any other network nor rants about left wing media bias. I just want an opinion specifically on FOX news. I have my own opinion but I just want to hear yours!
Michelle answers:
Fox News was founded by Roger Ailes who was President Nixons media advisor. Ailes felt that Nixon never got a fair shake by news agencies so he worked with wealthy right wing financiers and founded Fox News that was ultimately purchased by Ultra Right wing mogul Rupert Murdoch.
From the time Fox News hit the air in 1992 until just recently, Fox News was clearly a media tool for the benefit of the GOP and conservatives to get THEIR message out and to discredit those who disagreed with them.
I have hated Fox News for more than 16 years but I will say this. During the past presidential election cycle, th Fox NEWS broadcasts were a lot cleaner than they had been. Its important to distinguish O”Reilly and Hannity & Colmes from the NEWS side of Fox. Hannitty was over the top in his spew against Obama. But the New side of Fox moved from the right a bit toward the center…. It took 16 years but it did happen.
Mandy asks…
Why cant people just take a step back and realize that FOX news?
Fox news and Msnbc are both garbage. Its almost as if people have tunnel vision and think that you have to pick a side.
Michelle answers:
Fox is much better than MSNBC which should be breaking out the Obama 2012 pompoms any day now
Chris asks…
What is your view on Fox News and why?
I am personally against Fox News but I would like to hear some of other peoples opinions as well. It would be appreciated if you gave reasons for your views and it would be even better if you gave statistics.
Michelle answers:
They have the best political pundits from all sides. This is the balance. Fox News is so refreshing as opposed to all other networks who literally skew the news. It is hard for some people to except this because they are not used to hearing both sides of issues or issues that are otherwise not covered at all. O’Reilly,Hannity,Beck,etc. Are pundits. They are not reporters delivering the nightly news. They have their own signature shows which,by the way,have the best possible guests everyday representing any given opposing view. This is why they crush every other news outlet combined everyday in ratings.
Richard asks…
Why is Fox News going after Nancy Pelosi and not President Bush for his severe war crimes?
Nancy Pelosi made a small mistake and Fox news is calling for her resignation. But Pres. Bush commited harsh war crimes and nothing is said? Fair and balanced huh?
Michelle answers:
Hmmm, Maybe because Bush committed no war crimes. And I have heard virtually every network talking about how Pelosi stepped in it big time, not just Fox. The other Dems are avoiding her like the plague. Even they know she really screwed the pooch on this one.
