Well that's a shocker. What is is? I did not have sexual relations with that woman. I guess lack of integrity runs both in the Rodham and the Clinton family.

The BBC is not anti-American. It's just not pro-American, which is what all the American outlets are, as is obvious from their constant support of troops, color schemes, etc.

See my previous post.

Furthermore, see the numerous incidents where FAUX News has identified McCain as a democrat, Mark Foley as a republican, etc. It's easily the most biased "news" outlet. Of course, that's to be expected, what with Rupert Murdoch running things.

The results are as stated by FOX News.

FOX News has the worst track record in correctly informing its patrons.

I think you are just one of those who for some reason won't admit that Fox News is just as credible as those other news stations. And I have never seen a controversy on Fox News as big as the Rathergate controversy on CBS.

The BBC didn't used to be anti-American. That is no longer true.

Those are errors. Every news outlet makes errors. Post outright falsehoods, in which FOX NEWS knew was false but reported it anyway (you know, like Dan Rather did!).

Fox News is not credible. Here's another example, back in 2005, they misidentified the home of a family of five in La Habra, Ca as that of a terrorist. Needless to say, some idiots who watch Fox and take what they say at face value, harassed the family.

Was it corrected? By your thinking, NO news stations are credible, since they have ALL made errors in reporting.
If Fox News is so bad, I would like to see a list of about 20 known falsehoods they reported, with credible links. Since the station has been on the air for over 10 years, it should be easy!

Also remember that the George Mason University (far from being right-wing) named Fox News as the network which has been fairest to all of the candidates.

But you're right, TnHilltopper, this is going way off topic.
There are other threads which discuss Fox News, so those who are replying to me can makes their posts on those threads.

What's your point? How does that change the results?

Fleet, do you remember shortly before the 2004 election, when al-Qaeda released an ObL speech? Well, when FAUX played it the first time, and when the news analysts turned back toward the camera, the male said, "I think I saw a 'Vote Kerry' pin on him."

I guess I could expect that of Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck, but not of a guy who is supposed to be a newscaster.

It shows that Fox News is no more biased than those two other stations.

I asked for 20 examples with credible links. I'm still waiting. And what you posted is small potatoes (if it even happened) compared to Rathergate.
