Fox News vs Other Media outlet bias

[Felya]

They don't forget. They just don't care.

I’m sorry... Who invented the term freedom fries? Who just a couple of weeks ago, vetoed congress denying war powers against Iran?

[Elegiac]

They don't forget. They just don't care.

"Freedom fries", "if you're not with us, you're against us", "axis of weasels"?

We haven't forgotten how y'all carried on, no.

[Zan15]

They don't forget. They just don't care.

I mean its almost like the entire country was lied to or something.....and things were covered up by the republican administration at the time.

naaaaaaaaah, CNN knew the whole time just like everyone else !!!!

[Powerogue]

Fox News is hilarious that they're even able to still be on the air.



Everything I've seen of them in the years since this video has only proven that it's still a perfect reflection of their typical intelligence level when covering news stories.

I tend to pick through whatever's left, take it with a grain of salt, and try to find what everybody's consistent on. No one source should be relied on wholly.

Fox News Manipulates Pictures Of Seattle Protests Then Lies About It

"Fox News spliced together different photos to accompany pieces on the Seattle protests and Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), making the scenes look much more violent and destructive than they are.

When the Seattle Times asked about the pictures, a Fox News spokesperson lied about it, saying that the pictures had been taken this week. In actuality, in one instance, a photo of a gunman from June 10 was superimposed on pictures of shattered storefronts from May 30.

Fox News also ran a picture of a burning scene from May 30 in St. Paul, Minnesota with a story about Seattle’s protests. That image has also been removed.

There was no disclaimer on the now-removed photos indicating that they were edited, or melded together from weeks-old photos. An editor’s note has since been added.

Protesters occupied about six city blocks on June 8 after police abandoned Capitol Hill’s East Precinct building. President Donald Trump has called on the mayor and governor to “take back” the area."

Sorry, aren't you all cheerleaders for Bush now he came out against Trump? What's 100,000 dead when it means a temporary partisan advantage?

Said pictures, just so y'all can understand how amateurish the photoshopping actually was:

[SirBeef]

objective media are dead since the moment when they stopped living of subsriptions and started to leave of advertisement and investments/donations.

They were always biased. That's like saying the SCOTUS is recently and activist court. It's always been for one side or the other depending on make up.

I always read the leftist and the rightist news and try to puzzle together the truth between them.

I love when Faux "news" "mistakenly" changes the R to a D on the banner when they are reporting on a Repug doing something bad.

It's simple. If you are protesting police brutality you are immune to COVID according to health professionals, but if you are losing your job or business due to a lock-down you are an evil far right nazi that is out to kill grandma.

The Covid narrative flips on a dime depending on whether the media agrees with the protest or not.

It never happened that way. name the media outlet and i can show you stories of them talking about the huge risk and outcomes of covid and protest.

[docterfreeze]

Just watch the raw videos, read the transcripts, read the relevant reports or statistics from the source. That's as unbiased as it gets.

This is the most hillarious thing I've read today.

It's not.

Read 3 posts up. Time posted an article about how protesting for a cause they agree with is very good and worth the risk. Don't worry about Covid folks

The hundreds of contact tracing workers hired by the city under de Blasio’s new “test and trace” campaign have been instructed not to ask anyone who’s tested positive for COVID-19 whether they recently attended a demonstration, City Hall confirmed to THE CITY.

As if standing next to people in close proximity shouting for hours is cause for concern. Well if it is NY doesn't seem to want to know.

.

so you are going to ignore I already proved that NBC picture was fake since just with an easy google search I showed that they did in fact care and wrote stories and published video's on the huge risk protestors were taking.


Now you want me to do the same with time?
I mean the first article that comes up in google is one how dangerous it is to protest and the inability to social distance while doing it.

The only thing that was biased was your picture that picked two stories out of the dozens written/published by both entities.

Not sure what this has to do with bias in the media the poster said existed?

Also can you find an official statement from the mayor and the organization doing the tracer? Cause I can't.

[wunksta]

You know they didn't bend ove backwards, they were fed the same lies you and I were.

They did though. CNN, Fox et al used heavily pro-war language to support the war and didn't do their journalistic duties in providing fair or critical coverage. They asked softball questions to politicians and military officials.

People knew about the lack of evidence back in 2002. Bush told people that Iraq lacked nuclear capabilities before the war but it was never reported by MSNBC.

Interesting aside - Fox News is once again arguing that their hosts aren't journalists and viewers don't expect "Facts"

Fox News' attorney Erin Murphy argued that Carlson repeatedly couched his statements as hypotheticals to promote conversation and that a reasonable viewer would know his show offers "provocative things that will help me think harder" not straight news.

"What we’re talking about here, it’s not the front page of the New York Times," said Murphy. “It’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, which is a commentary show.”

same network that promotes the idea that internet companies should be held accountable for strangers on their services.....but fox does not want to be held accountable for their own host.....

the irony
