Guest GaySacGuy Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Just a couple of weeks ago Rupert Murdoch said that his news organization was supporting one party over another...even after his staff organized and promoted Tea Party events. Now this!!! Fox News parent firm gives $1 million to GOP group - AP: Quote
Guest MonkeySee Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 ...exactly equal, like a FAIR and BALANCED new organization should do. Fox is certainly not FAIR or BALANCED. Why do you think they have to continually repeat that phrase? That said, I don't think MSNBC is fair and balanced, but at least they don't go around saying they are. Quote
Guest GaySacGuy Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 MSNBC is definitely a liberal news/information organization. However, they do actually criticize the administration when they see fit. They more than willing have representatives from "the other side" on their shows, and actually allow them to talk. FOX was getting daily talking points from the Bush White House, and NEVER said a bad word about decisions or actions taken there. Now they have added ROVE and PALIN to there fine bunch of "journalist"...What a JOKE!! Quote
Bob Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Fox is certainly not FAIR or BALANCED. Why do you think they have to continually repeat that phrase? Unfortunately, if you say something enough times, there are enough gullible people around to eventually believe it. Murdoch has made a bloody fortune based on that premise and his sole criteria is whether his rag sheets and other investments such as Fox make money. Quote
Guest GaySacGuy Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Now the Democratic party has decided this is a good way to raise funds. I received a letter from Nathan Daschle of the Democratic Governors Association and he said To fight back against this unethical Fox-GOP alliance -- and show the RGA how to win elections without the help of a subversive, right-wing propaganda media syndicate -- I have a challenge for every one of our Democratic supporters: raise $1 million of our own. The banner was kind of neat Quote
Guest MonkeySee Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Unfortunately, if you say something enough times, there are enough gullible people around to eventually believe it. People are gullible. Many believe the crap they read in the paper and hear on the news. Quote
Guest GaySacGuy Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Well, at least this time it seems that everyone recognized what was happening at FOX. All of the major news agencies, Print and TV, did stories about the purchase...er donation, except for one.....the fair and balanced one..FOX!!! Quote
