The Case Against Fox News

[NoStateofMind]

As we have seen with the exclusion of Ron Paul from their presidential "roundtable discussion". Another would be their smear and lies of Paul about 9-11. This to me is at the very least worth a warning from the FCC. Now enter behind the scenes and see what former employees have to say about rupert murdochs news empire:

Fox is Fauxed

Fox is truly fauxed up!


It is clear in this video that murdoch uses his media spin machine to sway public opinion. It is time we send a message to murdoch. Email or call the FCC and let them know about its unfair reporting practices and your distrust of fox news.

You'll need to wait until Obama wins the nomination. Fox will nail him to a cross, and that should piss off many here that support him.

Give us a break already...

Why aren't you complaining about the "Clinton New Network" and its treatment of Hillary v. Obama.

Let's see....

For what I heard the network all but tried to ignore Hillary's huge loss in Iowa.

And then we have all 'undecided' voters at its youtube debate that were actually members of various Democratic campaigns, or very open supporters.

BTW at what point are you Ron Paul fan boys going to give up? The guy got 10% in Iowa and will most likely do the same in New Hampshire. In both cases he will finish 5th at best.
At what point do you throw in the towel and admit that he doesn't have a chance?

 

[ProfJohn]

BTW I think Fox should have included him in their debate.

Didn't Paul get more votes then Guliani??

 

[Lemon law]

If I am not incorrect, every so many years, every television station and network must petition the renew its license with the FCC. And show they have been in the public interests. And at the same time, anyone can file information with the FCC making the case they have not been in the public interest and hence their license should not be renewed. Then some committee reviews the pros and cons and makes a decision.

Under GWB that renewal may be almost automatic, but Fox may have some tall explaining to do under the next administration. Rupert may discovers he owns a lot of hardware that no longer is allowed to operate using US frequencies.

In licensing, the claim of fair and balanced is more than simple advertising hype. And if the preponderance of evidence shows, they are unfair and unbalanced, Fox may be in a heap of trobs. And quite a few Repubs will also agree.

Dude, I can't stand Sean Hannity, but THAT was just mob intimidation of the lowest level and beneath any thinking citizen.

Is that what your movement has to offer? Street thug yahooism?

Rudy skipped Iowa which means most of his supporters didn't bother to show up and vote for him.

So did Paul.

I have funny but accurate feelings about who is gonna show up in this thread. Party on!

?

From rush limbaugh? Maybe if you had seen CNN and MSNBC yourself you'd know they focused heavily on her loss. Of course, hearsay from unobjective sources is good enough for you.

 

[imported_hscorpio]

I think Paul should have been included. However, complaining to the government about Fox with the intention of the government somehow punishing fox just seems wrong and completely against the principles Paul embraces. If you don't like it then don't watch Fox anymore and let them know. Let sponsors know, spread the word, and hit them where it hurts, ratings.

List, list! I want to know cause I'm pretty sure too. Both sides will be here to argue hollow arguments with no facts or basis to support their opinions.

Actually, I bet I was at least a maybe on your list. I'm pretty sure the video linked was removed because "copyright infringement" was at issue. If you don't want to be accountable for what you've said, copyright it and say no one else has the right to rebroadcast it without your permission.

 

[Noobtastic]

Fox News is the greatest thing in the history of media, according to CNN, BBC, NBC, ABC, NYT, etc..etc.

 

[Lemon law]

The world will little note who showed up on this thread and who said what.

But if the FCC yanks fox's license, its that binary decision that will be HUGE.

If nothing else, they will not have a very easy time of it.

 

[daveymark]

this is what happens when you're at the top, people will try to bring you down. it's just a fact of life. How Fox reacts to all of this will play a key role in how well they come out ahead. unfortunately for libs, there's no such thing as bad publicity and stunts like this will only pull more viewership in for Fox

 

[piasabird]

Is RON PAUL getting any votes?

 

[lozina]

Mass media continues to reveal it's blatant bias and unfortunately they have so much influence in how the average American votes. This FOX news debate is yet another example on the growing list of injustices against Ron Paul.

No, it is truly sad. Because you and the nutjobs wasting your time chasing Sean Hannity around are 1) making Dr. Paul look bad and 2) diverting away from discussion about the issues at hand.

Videos like that only help reinforce the negative stereotypes floating around about Dr. Paul and his spa....supporters.

I don't understand your explanation. If Iowa residents supported Guliani they would have voted for him. But no, instead more Iowa residents like Ron Paul. It's as simple as that

 

[lozina]

Does anyone at all support Fox News' decision to exclude RP, and have a reason besides that they just hate RP?
