BREAKING NEWS!!! FOXNews Makes Stuff Up!

Not that people didn't already know this, but ...

Say it ain't so!!!

My world . . . she ends!

No, this is not much of a serious news story. I'm just easily amused.

What kind of spin will the no spin zone, spin?

Fox even states that it is "Fair and Balanced" and you aren't able to claim that until someone from the Fair and Balanced Advisory Board approves you. Also, one of their highly intelligent, diligent, respectful, and fact-checking journalists, Bill O'Reilly even uses the phrase, "No Spin Zone."

FACT.

The spin done been spun.

You mean like this?

Now that's the spun getting spinned.
And getting seriously ass-fucked, that was their point, right?

I am literally sick to my stomach watching Hanity... I just can't imagine how people believe this shit.... i will admit as an Independent MSNBC skews things and will twist things on occasion but at least they will be critical of other Democrat congressmen as well as the President...but fox news plain makes shit up and it is just hurts my brain people can't be this stupid...

You mean like the Fairness Doctrine, which ensured (from '49 to '87) that giant corporations could profit from their news divisions provided they were willing to inform for the sake of public good & offer both sides to controversial issues so that the general public could be informed & knowledgeable & take part in a healthy discourse?

Yeah, Reagen kicked that shit to the curb by E.O. in '87 & every time anyone talks about bringing it back the Right-- which has & continues to benefit massively from its removal-- talks about government thought police & suppression of unpopular speech, despite the Doctrine obviously being an attempt to encourage rather than discourage unpopular speech. In the alternate reality that the modern/mainstream GOP currently inhabits, the market solves every thing & if your idea or speech isn't profitable, clearly you're not right & have no right to a forum outside of your local street corner, provided you can afford the megaphone.

The Fairness Doctrine would not have applied to cable companies it was only applicable for over-the-air broadcasters.

You're on a roll, buddy!

Good catch, IDGAS. My bad. There was some conversation over the last decade-- if I recall correctly-- about expanding the FCC's reach to cable networks due to their >80% market penetration*. Of course, there doesn't seem to be much actual legal standing for that, considering the FCC was founded to regulate the airwaves. Still, it would have an affect on the radio market, & Limbaugh & his mutated proteges (Beck, Ingham, Schelinsger [sp?], etc.) mostly made their bones on AM talk radio before being given cable platforms from which to lie from. Limbaugh himself only came up in the years following the removal of the Doctrine.

My big issue was the legal and regulatory changes made that set the stage for media consolidation. In the past there were limits on the number of television and radio stations that could be owned. As well as rules around owning newspapers and TV & Radio stations in the same market place.

So then just where exactly is Iraq?

Iraq who? We don't know any Iraq. (Then they make with the shifty eyes before running for the door while comically shouting "eeeeeexxit, stage left!")

In in the Secret Egypt level. You have to jump over the second elevator and then run all the way past the end of the screen.

Is that < < ^ ^ < > A ?

No, that's how you access Fox's Strategic Fear Reserve. In times of peace and prosperity, Fox releases stored fear in order to prevent the inflation of actual freedom.

Awesome.

Error

More bullshit: FoxNews "erroneously" aired footage of the 2010 CPAC Conference instead of the 2011 clip during a Ron Paul Interview:
Bill Hemmer is an editing douchebag

>Whatever<

I watched Glenn Beck for 10 minutes today doing research for an article I'm writing for the SG news page and I seriously had to turn it off because he was such an unbelievable dirtbag and beyond stupid.

I try not to insult people for their opinions, I really try not to, but that guy is one step below functioning retarded.

While I'm not a fan of Fix (sic) News in general and Glenn Beck in particular, the notion that other mainstream media outlets are the paragons of unbiased journalistic integrity is beyond the pale in its ridiculousness, Objective journalism died years ago, Wipe them all out and start the fuck over.

It's like anything else. Let the people decide,
