Again Faux News Shows Its GOP Bias (campaign, Republican, liberals)

[KevK]

Today Faux News showed McCain speaking to a veterans group of maybe a few hundred people in New Mexico. They showed his remarks and the story ran about a minute. Then they simply said "and Obama was campaigning in Las Cruces New Mexico"
Turn the channel and NBC is showing Obama speaking to a much larger veterans group, making a much better speech and hugging and shaking hands with the veterans in New Mexico. And yes, they showed McCain too.
The bias of Faux News is so obvious to everybody.

You've got to be kidding? 90%+ of Big Media is commie, and Fox News is not even a true conservative media outlet. News Corp. is a corporate member of New York City's CFR.
Council on Foreign Relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fox News and the Republican Party spread desinformation. Fox News owner and the Bush family are ultra-liberal.
Neo-cons are also a farce, 100% liberal.
A strategy of deception to dupe the conservative electorate and naive leftists.

Let's see. Did CNN, NBC or CSPAN show Obama giving the graduation speech for Ted Kennedy? The one where he encouraged the new graduates to not wear good suits, etc.,etc. and to tone down their expectations. There was a real pump up the new graduates speech. "Do not believe that you are entitled to the suits, the home, the perks, that Michele and I have." Maybe the students can get low cost government student loans to pay off their education to result in mediocre jobs. Maybe they should join the Peace Corps?

Wait, I know. When a liberal gives a speech, yu cannot take it at face value. It has too many nuances. Like it was code to those who want to get their PhD's and tenue so they know what to teach but what they themselves do not have to live like. But when a conservative talks, there is no nuance. They will parse every word and refuse to look at the context.

It will be interesting to see if this gets any play.

For someone who thinks Fox News is so bias, you sure do watch it a lot.

Is anyone really surprised ? The whole channel has become a laughing stock. Misrepresentation of facts, obvious bias, they are the official Republican party channel. Best thing to do is watch it as a little as possible...Fox News is geared to the mentally challenged anyway.

Oh please. When you have two (or more) anchors clearly in the can for Obama (he gives them tingles), what station is more bias.

Clearly NBC & MSNBC has made a determination to go far left and not be ashamed at all to show it.

And clearly, Fox News gives CNN and MSNBC a whooping in the ratings.

That is not what he said at all. He said that instead of graduating from college and focusing immediately on the suits and the house and the other garbage, that taking your education and doing something good like joining the Peace Corps or Teach For America is something to strive for. That is what Obama did so it is by no means hypocritical. It was a very stirring speech.

If you would like to read his remarks, go here:

I always wonder why Fox News defenders reach for this. Successful and accurate or good are not the same thing.

Here's my two cents;

All news has Liberal bias to some extent - that is just how news is presented. When media strays from the Liberal mainstream, they get bombarded (Fox News, occasionally CNN). Because of the human element involved in the news, there will always be some sort of bias, there is no way to work around it.

Also, it seems that people are quite aggressive when it comes to their news channel. Liberals always hate anyone who disagrees with them (remember, Liberals know best!), which shows clearly in this thread, as well as anywhere else you look. It's sad that when one station breaks away from the mainstream they are criticized for not falling in line and being like everyone else. Every news corporation has its ups and downs, for example FOX has the tendency to use scare tactics, MSNBC rambles way to much (ever heard of letting sleeping dogs lie?), CNN speculates too much, the BBC downplays American culture, and provides no background info on anything. Haven't seen enough ABC to tell its perks, I'll have to watch them this week before passing judgment.

On a final note, you should never trust anything you see on the news, it is always exaggerated, and always has bias (got to get them ratings up!).
