Donald asks…
Have you not liked Fox News so much that you actually considered BLOCKING the channel?
If so, what does that say about you?
I know why everyone hates FOX NEWS so much. It’s because of lies on their news reports.
Michelle answers:
I hate fox news so much. My brother is in the marines and when their sitting there telling us lies that’s going on in this war and other new channels tell us something different, it makes me want to throw something at the t.v. I mean my brother is supposed to go into this war in three weeks and i want the truth about whats going on. Not some lie.
Thomas asks…
What is your opinion on a Rolling Stone article according to which Fox News viewers are misinformed?
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/study-watching-fox–news-actually-makes-you-less-informed-20120524
Researchers at the Fairleigh Dickinson University concluded that:
Fox viewers scored the lowest in both categories, getting an average of 1.04 questions right on domestic issues and 1.08 on international, behind people who watch MSNBC (which, on international affairs, also lagged the non-news watchers) The Daily Show, and the Sunday talk show viewers, as well as NPR listeners – the best informed audience – and, yes, people who don’t “do” news.
The research doesn’t seem to indicate where people who don’t watch the news on T.V. or the radio might be getting their information from, but I’m suspecting it’s print and Internet.
Michelle answers:
Rolling Stone magazine has been around since I was in Jr. High, 48 years ago. It was always a highly respected artsy magazine that had the latest on music, dancing, rock groups and fashion.
They’ve become political as well now and know their stuff.
Guess what? Fox News viewers are the MOST misinformed that exist. You don’t get your news from newscaster or any journalists. You get opinions, they spread the Republican hate. If you watch nothing else, you’re doing yourselves a gross injustice.
Watch Fox if you want. But don’t limit yourself. The world is WAY MORE than Fox News.
Mandy asks…
Why republicans have a hard time admitting that Fox News is just as bias as MSNBC?
Fox News is pro republican, is obvious. MSNBC is pro Obama evidently. So why republicans have a hard time admitting that Fox news is for them?
Michelle answers:
Brainwashing. It’s effective. So effective that they don’t even realize it.
Mark asks…
Is Fox News about as fair and balanced as the news media was in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany?
Is Fox a news network or a propaganda network? I think an argument can be made that all main stream news networks in the United States are used as mechanisms for government propaganda.
Perhaps a better question would be is Fox News anything more than a propaganda network.
Michelle answers:
Every news source is biased according to the views of the news providers, thus, any news source can be considered propaganda to some degree.
Having never lived during the 1940s or ’50s in either of those countries, I can’t compare Fox News to their news sources. However, I am willing to say that, while most Fox personalities definitely lean toward the far political right, the network is probably more balanced than Soviet and Nazi news agencies were. My opinion is based on the principle that Soviet and Nazi networks were state-run, where Fox is independent of the state, insofar as being controlled by the government goes. Also, I have seen Beck rail on both of the major U.S. Parties in his overly-dramatic way, not just Democrats like all the others.
