So who heard about the white house declaring war on fox news? Basically, most news stations ( ABC,NBC,CBS) are fair and unbiased to democrats, and unfair and biased to the Republicans. Fox, however is considered biased to the democrats and fair to the republicans. personally, I would say most stations are biased to the left, and fox is slightly biased to the left. thoughts? (keep it peaceful)
As I was trying o point out with the links Fox is notorious for skewing the fact or even flat out lie. Now I'm not saying other news stations don't do this and I think it just as wrong for others as it is for Fox, but how much can a channel do this before it can no longer be called news reporting?
How long has CNN been around?
we're not gonna lose freedom of speech
Oh yes we are. One day, it'll become a flat out problem. As we start to get further and further apart *coughdemocratsandrepublicanscough* the government will have to start censoring certain things to keep riots and even civil wars from become a serious pain.
considering that the last writers strike almost shut down every news network, I would guess that all of them use creative writing to skew their agendas. Fox is heavily republican biased, cnn is very liberal, and nbc just wants to see obama succeed no matter what. All any of them want is ratings and all will misuse any story to further their agendas and get viewers so the ad money will keep rolling in. Almost forgot that olberman just wants to lynch bush. The bad part is when the white house talks trash about a network all that happens is that particular network is handed ratings. First by those that hate the current administration flock to that network and then many more go watch to see what the fuss is about. Great job silencing your enemies that way. And these are the geniuses that lead us. And the worst part is that every presidency since TV became more than the major networks keeps falling for it. Proving that each president is less intelligent than the last. Soon our president will have to wear a football helmet and pads to keep him or her from hurting himself/herself.
FYI idiots at Fox News. We get away with having no army because everyone likes us and we don't go around starting wars, we make small contributions when our friends start them of course.
Most of our forces have been used on Peace keeping missions in the past. The first time the UN used force to diffuse a conflict the forces were a Canadian majority.
We prefer to spend our $ on equal health care + education for all.
Then there's the fact you're making fun of us for taking a break when other countries are pulling out entirely?
Wait...you're making fun of the RCMP?!?! Who by the freakin' way doesn't ride horses down the street you idiots who believe what you see in the movies.
Plus they are the federal law enforcement, while you compare them to your municipal law enforcement....dumbasses....we have police too!!!!
"The most powerful country in the universe"
.....holy shit....who the hell do these people think they are?!?!
And people watch this?
I just lost respect for America, and believe it or not, up until now, i still had SOME respect left...
All any of them want is ratings and all will misuse any story to further their agendas and get viewers so the ad money will keep rolling in.
Exactly. The depressing thing is, mass media controls the United States. If a story gets out about Obama throwing grenades into packed civilian plazas, the news sources will run it because they know it will make money. I wish that they would use common sense for once, and realize that they are corrupting the U.S.
Don't worry green12324, we aren't the only ones controlled by our media. Almost all of the 1st world countries are. Even Canada. That's one thing that the 3rd world countries have on all of us. really depressing when you think about it. That's why all my news comes from the Colbert Report.
We get away with having no army because everyone likes us
You get away with it because you only have one border and we have been at peace for so long. You didn't get away with it when we burned your capital. Without the intent for peace from both sides you would be forced to defend your borders like most of the rest of the world. The way you did in the past.
mass media controls the United States
No, mass media controls those who don't care to think for themselves. You can't say they rule an entire country.

Read my first post on this thread. That is my entire opinion of Fox and all of the mass media.
That's why all my news comes from the Colbert Report.
He does present a much more logical approach to many stories than the large media corporations do. You know mass media is abusing its role when comedians are able to deliver more accurate news, in many cases.

Hmmmm?
We have it to some extent. Canada and it's...ONE federally funded news channel which gives us most world news...and....one other news channel which touches on world news (very lightly) that is any good =P
Other than that it's local news where the biggest story is "NEW SPEEDBUMPS!"
I'm pretty sure mr.stephen colbert pointed out that was a leading story on our news once in an episode xD
BTW, we DO get The Daily Show + The Colbert Report + CNN + others that I don't watch.
I would say we might get more American news than Canadian =P So yes our media is biased Just by watching yours I can see how biased YOUR media is xD
Doubtful you see any Canadian news in America. And that's why idiots might believe the misinformation of Fox News about our country =P
Have I ever posted "Talking To Americans" on here? It's Canadian comedians telling harvard professors and American politicians blatant lies about the melting of the "National Igloo" which our "Congress" holds it's sessions in. And then having them sign petitions to stop the melting of our congressional building xD
You damn Canadians importing our stupid news channels. Its all your fault our news is so terrible! If you would just leave our morons alone they might have to work harder for our ad dollars and come up with real stories. That is it! I am so back on the blame Canada bandwagon. South Park so had it right. Btw I am joking so please just have fun with it.
