Why Do Liberals Hate Fox News So Much?

[beeker]

Here are Limbaugh’s exact words, the words “Obama’s policies” do not exist:
Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don’t care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long. I Hope Obama Fails. Somebody’s gotta say it. I hope he fails. And that would be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say.[/color]

But once again the sentence does not stand on it's own, you've been snookered:

News used to be about presenting all sides of an issue. Instead of presenting all sides of an issue in an objective way, many news outlets now rely on digging up video blurbs, old news clips, and statements, and presenting them along with current news in a non-contextual manner. Fox isn't the only broadcast guilty of that, but they do tend to be guilty of it more often.

This article provides a good example.

WOW lexi I'm impressed you read the Atlantic

Wish some FoxNews peoples would try the same or Harpers or Economist or even Rolling Stone to get a few facts AND most are available at a public LIBRARY near YOU

beeker you are quite correct that the site that I quoted doesn't present the entire quote.  I won't argue the merits of this interpretation of what Limbaugh said because my post was concerning a Fox News lie and this may have been an inaccurate example.  My apologies.

The Rock says that Rachel Maddow has more testosterone than Keith Olbermann does, as per Keith's wife.

could be because they will NEVER say that it is good for US employers to hire ILLEGALS or to get INSURANCE

BUT in the fine print of the Baucus Health Bill it seems employers would have an INCENTIVE to hire more illegals thanks to lobbyist friends on K-street

OK........one more time.  Unless I am mistaken, you do not think Fox News reports the truth.  In my narrow conservative mind, I can't come to any other conclusion.  The other option is that you feel they do report the truth.  Assuming the former, I am asking you for an example of where Fox News reported a lie.  Let's review:

1.  You are certain Fox is more interested in ratings (and I'm clear that you think everyone is) than reporting the truth.

2.  Give me an example.     

PSU, you just don't get it... I'm not saying at all that Fox lies. I'm saying that Fox, along with other media outlets, care more about their ratings than they do about their content. Call it truth, call it a lie, call it what you will. To hold one outlet up to some supposed moral standard as compared to others is ludicrous. Sensationalism is what sells papers. Sensationalism is what sells TV. Lies? Not necessarily. Conveniently let out a few facts, don't be objective, sow seeds of doubt, throw in a little innuendo, don't tell both sides of a story, and voila! you have today's news!

Get it straight. Here is what I am saying: If you think that Fox, or any other media,  is not interested in ratings, and would gladly give up millions of viewers just so they can report news, without any preconceived notions, then you are gullible. Plain and simple.

Why do you think WJAC tries to woo State College viewers? Because they want to cover the news of that area? Heck no! State College has money. That means more advertising, which means more revenue for the station, which in turn means more profits for the parent company.

No need to apologize.  This string is a hard subject to debate because Journalists and Politcians do the same thing with information.  They present the facts in a way that best suits their goal.  In my opinion very few lies are being told, they both just never tell the whole story so we can never pin them down.

likely because investigative reporters/journalists cost a lot and info from dingbats on the internet is FREE
