Murdoch Meltdown

Are you seriously telling me Fox isn't one sided?

I didn't say they were the sole voice of conervative news. They do seem the most hysterical one though, and have done a bang up job of whipping their viewers into hitherto unseen levels of hatred and anger.



[eta] I notice your only contribution here is to say 'Waaaaah, the others are worse, it's a liberal dominated media' and generally shill for Fox.

Fox News anchormen (their equivalent to Walter Cronkite and Peter Jennings) will report a story with snide remarks or even mocking laughter. This is not commentary. This is their newsmen supposedly reporting the news without bias. Purpose is to tell the least educated among us how to think. News reporters in Nazi Germany did same so that many could be told how to think – ie blame Jews.

Radio Moscow, even in the early 1960s, was never that blatantly obvious about bias in their news reports. I would listen to Radio Moscow often just to learn another viewpoint. But Fox News is so blatantly insulting that I cannot last more than 15 minutes.

Fox anchormen literally mocked their own Katrina reporters at the Superdome and New Orleans convention center. Because reporters were accurately reporting dangerous and deadly conditions. While Fox News anchormen were told, instead, what political agenda must be reported.

If Fox News is an honest or responsible news source, then Pravda must have been a champion example of honest reporting. After all, Pravda mean honesty.

A term from the UK is blagging. What is that?
