CNN Show This Morning On Fox News Coverage
Have to say, CNN did a great job this morning on O'Reily who made a half-assed attempt (all he could do) to defend Fox's news coverage of Iraq.

They had a reporter who had done an unbiased report of all the network and cable channels.

They had a panel of four responding.

The lady on the panel said she worked at Fox when they first went on the air and she admitted they have a perspective on how they cover this WH administration and the war.

Proven they covered Anna Nicole Smith much more than the war.

She also said they did not cover the US Justice attorney firings much.

Also said there is no way O'Reily could believe what he said himself about the coverage.

I really think Fox is being shown up more each day for what they are and that is nothing more than a shrill for this war and the Bush Administration. No way are they an unbiased cable news channel.

Just my own thoughts and comment; can't stand Fox and their fake news.

1. Y'know what bothers me?
So many people watch WWF Wrestling and think it's real. Why wouldn't they believe Fox News?

3. I hate to underestimate the intelligence of the American people...
But sometimes it's hard not to.

4. Ever see the movie Idiocracy
They include a scene with Fox News, with bodybuilder and airhead as newscasters. Randy(Macho Man)Savage does the voice promotion. The movie is funny and kind of spooky, because it is kind of prophetic.

5. You DO realize that there are people who LIKE Fox for these very same reasons...
I think if Fox stopped using their "fair and balanced" slogan, it would take a lot of ammo out of its critics, because I simply don't believe there's much to defend for the vast majority of "news" that our society is sold.
