"User" Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Fox News because one if it's slogans is "Fair and Balanced". And of course, I definitely want fair and balanced news. Most people who seem to complain about Fox are online Internet users (who are 95% liberal/socalist/under 30 years old) so I just tune them out most of the time. *Waits for the Fox News haters to jump in*And of course, if you haven't figured it out already, I'm being sarcastic with the neutrally of Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"User" Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Fox News followers = furriesnuff said. Obviously. Furries like foxes, Firefox, and other things involving the word "Fox" so Fox News is where all furries go to get their reliable, trustworthy information. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konchaski Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I like Fox News locally. Just not Fox News on a national perspective. It's a weird case that the local casting is actually pretty actually fair, balanced, here bringing more detail on both sides of the coin. Actually I would dare say it's almost gives more information about liberals and conservatives locally than a lot of other local channels.The national Fox News though is the one I have a problem with.

Guest Julius Quasar Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I may enjoy Fox News, but I still don't trust it 100%, nor do I trust ANY news sources...problem is, there's the truth *frowns and shakes head* and there's...*in a phony sounding happy voice* "THE TRUTH!" *smiles and nods* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run out of the room screaming and going apeshit crazy with fear whenever her ugly bo-toxed mug appears.But I consider Fox News the general lesser of the news evils.

"User" Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 (Should I also mention that the guy whos funding the community center near ground zero is part owner of Fox News)And who would that be? That Egyptian businessman? There are multiple players involved in the funding of this thing and I believe the ownership as well.Also to my knowledge (and correct me if I'm wrong) but a lot of the funding is foreign and the people who are involved in the construction of the mosque are refusing to say where their $100 million funding is going to come from.

DZComposer Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I voted "Other."Sadly, the best US news is reported by foreign news agencies, such as the BBC, RT, and Al Jazeera. The death of the fairness doctrine and the rise of media conglomerates were the death in truth in news media.I get my political commentary, however, from MSNBC and XM America Left. But, political commentary is NOT news. Fox News claims to be news, but they are all political commentary. CNN/HLN are mostly news, but it still has slant. MSNBC is also largely political commentary, but at least they come right out and say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I like CBC, even if it slants more to the left but that's typical of Canadians in general compared to their American counterparts.

Guest Julius Quasar Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Well, as the UC Berkley grads used to tell me "It's no so much important as reading the news, as it is READING BETWEEN THE LINES!"

Konchaski Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Honestly, I can't stand Fox News, the network at the very least. Local channels I can swallow but once things go national people start getting facts wrong.Like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
