Fox news - Biased?

the wording of the questions in the poll lead you to vote for the second option, even if it's not what you really believe.

Fox news asks the hard questions and the white house should be able to answer them... are you serious??

white house: fox news isn't fair and balanced...

the "poll" isn't properly worded....

on this poll, i vote for fox news, not cuz they ask the hard questions, but because the White House doesn't answer the hard questions, no matter where it comes from...

if the poll would've read:

the White House, FOX News Channel manipulates the news to fit the conservative agenda.

FOX: FOX news is fair and balanced, we do not favor any political agenda, nor do we manipulate the news.

Neither. each side whatever whatever whatever...

that would've been a little more clear on what the poll is really asking..... poor wording leads this poll to giving misleading information.... what a shame, it seemed to be a good poll too....

You have a vaild point there, I didn't write the thing, just received it & thought I'd share.

Do one favor tho, everywhere it says "Fox", replace it with your favorite news source & objectively determine if its a true statement.

It wasn't for me.

i'd suggest that this poll just doesn't ask the question you'd like it to ask. i realize you'd like a poll that merely allows us to crucify a news source that you disagree with, but this poll asks the more important question "is the white house justified in vilifying the opposition press?" anyone who honestly believes that any news outlet is fair and balanced should probably pull their head out of their ass, they are all pulling for their own agendas. this poll has less to do with whether fox is bad than with how the people view this administration's attitude toward the media in general, whether it is willing to embrace the rights of those with opposing viewpoint or to try to silence that opposition. it seems there is an overwhelming majority that believe it is not fox that is overstepping its bounds, but the white house that is exhibiting an unacceptable intolerance.

Perhaps you lean one way or the other?
If so, here is an online poll I received via e-mail that will allow you to voice your opinion.
Enjoy. GWN

Fox News was recently losing in an (National Public Radio) NPR Poll, but with the power of the Internet we can turn that around in a few hours.

If you haven't heard, the White House is accusing Fox News of not being a legitimate source of news, calling them biased, etc. They have tried to block Fox reporters from news conferences, etc., NPR has put a survey online for us to voice our opinion.



If Fox loses this poll you can bet Obama will mention it as support for his attack on Fox.

Let's show them how we feel about honest conservative news reporting.

Then ... forward this to everybody !

the endless parade of (mainly passive) passive-aggressive threads and posts say otherwise but ok

I don't usually comment on old threads. . . . . .

But it was pretty ironic that Fox was openly trying to muck up a NPR poll.

I hope I’ll be able to respond to questions like this in 12 years. Even if it makes me look stupid, like this one did to GreatwhiteNorth.

Foxnews was made with certain people in mind and attracted them. It wasn't hard to lead (or drive) such people where they wanted them to go, first you preselect them, based on their preexisting character flaws, by gently blowing the dog whistle, at first. In today's media environment, the dog whistle must be blown through a bullhorn and there is stiff competition to own the racist suckers for profit.

They are so easily manipulated under the powerful spell of racism and tribalism, it is much stronger than mere religion. All the conservative southern Baptist Pseudo Christians fell for Cheeto Jesus, hook line and sinker, when the hook is set it'll rip their assholes out. Their hypocrisy and cognitive dissidence has reached epic proportions, that not just qualifies as delusional, but as insane. They are just racist assholes with no theological way through the pearly gates. They preach that if Hitler found Jesus and was "saved" just before he chomped down on the cyanide capsule and blew his brains out, he'd be right up there in the divine North Korea singing praises to the Lord, next to the freshly showered Jews.
