It's like listening to Citgo say that Exxon sells watered down gas... Like K-Mart saying Wal-Mart eats children... Like Burger King saying McDonalds is unhealthy... Some people just have no ability to think rationally.

No matter how often they repeat their motto "fair and balanced", no one with more than two brain cells still firing will buy their baloney.

Fox News is tabloid journalism, nothing more.
Are you kidding? The other networks blatantly promoted Obama and the Democratic agenda throughout the entire campaign process. Why is it that the Fox bashers want to bury their head in the sand when it comes to the liberal media?

It's the most prominent symptom of a successful indoctrination...

Who has been released from Fox News for their bogosity?

Their premier liar-in-chief at present appears to be Glen Beck...

He said that no other President had never been sworn into office without a Bible. He said he 'checked'.
He either did not check or checked up his arsegraped butt because he's lying. John Qunicy Adams used a law book. Franklin Pierce didn't even swear. He affirmed. Teddy Roosevelt used no Bible. Several Presidents kissed a Bible but did not swear on one.

http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/pihtml/pinot…

Beck lie.

Glenn Beck lied when he said recently that $1.4 million of stimulus momey was used to repair a door at Dyess AFB. The doors repaired were aircraft hangar doors and the cost was not $1.4 million.
The cost was $246000 out of $1.4 million in repairs funding.

Beck lie.

Of course, we all know about him being called out as a liar by Whoopi and Barbara Walters.

I only did a few minutes' reserach, as I said...but it's quite clear that Beck is exposed as a liar.

My favourite though, is Beck going on about how compassionate he'd become after being failed by the expensive private health system last year when he got his dangling arsegrapes removed, said he was all suicidal...boo hoo...and only a couple of weeks ago screamed like an effete banshee at a woman on his radio show.

Edit: I was having such fun looking at what a liar Glenn Beck is I thought I'd find some more:

In June Beck lied when he said that the US was the ONLY country that had a natural birthright provision. Here is the list of other countries that do:
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn/… (http://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn/issues/birthright-citizenship/nations-observing-birthright-citizenship.html - broken link)

Ooopsie doodle, Beck lie.

Glenn Beck lied when he said that the director of White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, "has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population."
This one is so good I'll just give you the link:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…

Hey, if I find any more I'll let you know. I'll bet there are PLENTY. I don't give a **** if the guy is passionate, he has a responsibility to check facts and make sure that the information he is disseminating is not poisoning people's minds. Look at the goofballs who think he's a Stay-Puft saint. The guy is a screaming ******* nutcase.


Why do people say Glenn Beck lies... what has he lied about? - Yahoo! Answers


No real news agency would have a spittle-spewing demagogue like Beck on their staff and try to keep up the facade of being "fair and balanced."

If Fox appeals to your point of view, then by all means keep tuning in. But don't fool yourself into thinking that you're getting straight news.

Maybe the liberal media isn't as liberal as Fox keeps telling you. The fact that you've gone all in for Fox just shows one thing: that they're playing a tune you like. It doesn't make them factual or honest. They've been shown repeatedly to be anything but.

Fox News has just broadcast a report by Conor Powell, from Afghanistan... fomenting civil insurrection, I'm sure.

I suppose it's the hidden motives of Fox that attract me to the channel.

The Da Vinci Code mentions the names of real cities like London, Paris and Rome. Does that make it a true story?

Your posts in defense of Fox don't discredit your point of view though, do they?
