Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
Major I'm at a loss and can only conclude your judgement is so clouded or you are so stupid that you cannot see the difference between the examples I cited and the ones you and Rover and any other members of the Amen chorus wish to point to. I challenged you libs to cite an example of deliberate lying and deception by Fox and you give me a couple of headlines with a perspective you don't like. What you haven't included in your narrative is the time frame of these stories, did they appear on the evening news? I'd be inclined to agree that in "stacking" an evening newscast, the Clinton story should probably lead. But it's also news that the Vice President is apparantly wanting to take credit for a strategy he opposed. But this headline game is not even close to what the Times did. Seriously, what makes a man so stubborn that he can't acknowledge what is in front of his face?
Bias of the kind that has your panties in a wad is not that uncommon, and yes, Fox engages in it along with MSNBC and all the rest. But in your delirium about Fox, you've put yourself out on the end of a very thin branch.
Walter Duranty wrote and the New York Times published articles in which Duranty informed his American readers that there was no terror famine in the Ukraine. At the time he wrote those articles, 25,000 Ukranians a day were dying of starvation, and he knew it. I say again, 25,000 Ukranians a day were dying of starvation--and this Stalinist mouthpece KNEW IT. These were not deaths caused by agricultural failures, they were deaths deliberately engineered by Stalin to punish Ukraine for its independent aspirations and to raise gold for his five year plan. This was a crime at least on the level of the Holocaust, and the New York Times HELPED TO COVER IT UP. And that helped Stalin's world image--evidently an important goal for Duranty.
This gigantic fraud and deception was perpetrated on America (because Duranty's lies were syndicated) by the New York Times, which still honors Duranty's Pulitzer in its lobby. And you evidently are so completely in cloud cuckoo land that you can't even conceed that perhaps the Times may have violated some sort of journalistic convention or another here.
Your fevers about Fox have rendered you without even the most basic standards of judgement. I will not discuss anything with a man so prejudiced, so bigoted, so delusional, he cannot see that what the Times and Duranty did here is several orders of magnitude more serious and more evil than anything Roger Ailes has ever thought of doing. So you just stay there, hiding under the covers, shivering with outrage about Fox, fully convinced Fox is evil. Pal, Fox is a rank beginner in this game. And you should know better and be willing to admit it. But you lack even that tiny bit of intellectual honesty.
If by this you mean that Fox warps and falsifies information for its political agenda?
The answer as rufus pointed out is a definite yes.
Let's take a look for agendas here (either against opposing parties or sympathy/fear/hate):
Top headlines:
Fox News:
SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE...GOP BLASTS BIDEN'S IRAQ CLAIM
Republicans outraged after vice president, despite being against surge initially, says the success in Iraq could be one of Obama administration's 'great achievements.'
CBS News:
CLINTON HOSPITALIZED IN NEW YORK CITY
(Note there was no discussion about how he was a great president...only facts about his current condition)
Clearly no bias at either "news" outlet here
