How Fox News Chief Roger Ailes Tried To Win Republicans The White House
Around 5 p.m. on Election Day 2012, Fox News chief Roger Ailes realized that Mitt Romney would not make it to the White House. "Thank you, Chris Christie," Ailes groused.
Ailes was frustrated that the New Jersey governor appeared alongside President Barack Obama days earlier to survey the damage of Hurricane Sandy.

Interesting read. You have the President of FOX News openly revealing that he is rooting for Republicans. And still, you have people who don't think FOX News has a bias. Man, there are some shockingly ignorant people in America.

Really?? Versus every other media outlet in the United States openly rooting for Obama and the Democrats, seriously bfd. Look at all the overkill coverage of a traffic jam on the GWB versus the paucity of investigative journalism with the IRS. One media outlet leans right and you libs pop a cork.

What is even more interesting is Ailes believing that Christie appearing with Obama cost Romney the election...that is delusion.

There are, they would be the people who believe that Fox News has a conservative bias but also believe that MSNBC isn't biased at all. Those people are shockingly ignorant.

You just have to take a moment to feel pity for people who are obsessed with Fox News. Oddly, those misfits are democrats/liberals.

Strange........

It's quite pathetic and humorous at the same time if you think about. "We hate Fox News sooooo much that we're going to watch it 24/7 just so we can point out how much we hate Fox News. Rachel told us to..."

That's a false equivalency on all of the counts you've mentioned. . Just because other media outlets don't tilt to the right like Fox doesn't necessarily mean they favor Obama and the Democrats.

Complete nonsense. Show your work. Where is this obvious bias towards Democrats in the mainstream press?

This IRS scandal?

2013 IRS scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On June 24, 2013, new IRS commissioner Danny Werfel revealed that an internal investigation had discovered that the targeting was both broader and longer-lasting than had previously been known. The report found that words such as "Israel," "progressive" and "Occupy" were also used as red-flags for greater scrutiny, and that screeners were still using such lists up until May 2013.[8] A spokesman for the Inspector General's office in charge of the IRS audit said they had been asked by House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) “to narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations

You see, this is what happens when you don't use your brain. Or, when you allow your brain to be hijacked by confirmation bias. It's difficult, I know, it's much easier for us to just ignore evidence that is problematic to what we already believe, rather than let new evidence change what we thought was true.

Bridgetgate is a scandal. The IRS thing wasn't. If you would have had Obama's chief of staff or anyone in Obama's cabinet involved in that IRS thing, then yes, you could make the comparison. But you don't. It doesn't exist. Yet, you and your fellow conservatives fall for this crap from right-wing media all day and all night. Why is it? Are you stupid? No, I don't think you're stupid. You just want to believe what you want to believe. Use some critical thinking for once in your life will ya?
