No more a manipulator than Les Moonves(sp?)....

I thought Tim Russert, a liberal, was as straightforward as they came...I miss him.

Did I just say that???? :biggrin:

I'm not much of a fan of Les either. But I loved Russert and Peter Jennings, rest their souls.

Fox would be much more credible to more people if they had a persona with gravitas like either of the above that was the main representation of their network. Instead they have Murdoch doing TV interviews calling the president's policies "dangerous." That's one way to get attention but there's no gravitas there.

I think it's more that some people like to use Hannity or Beck or O'reilly as the face of Fox News....Not so much Murdoch....jmo

Yeah well, like those are better choices. :biggrin:

On a regular basis, Anderson Cooper is the only one I watch. I find him easy to take. I suspect if Obama accused him of bias against the administration he would do a special where he interviewed lots of people to get their opinions about whether he was biased or not and would fail to raise his voice while doing so.

what a foolish debate. of course they are a real news org. this is part of a large smear campaign and many are taking the bait. and than you have people who hate fox because they're told too by the bomb throwers themselves using slogans like "fox noise" and "faux news"-childish. and those people dont even or never have watched fox. the top 13 news programs are fnc. thats not by accident so ill stick with the majority. there will no doubt be a time where this is laughed upon :idontno:

If you stuck with the majority you would be an Obama supporter...

I agree, but even a simple, small town reporter knows that is you manufacture, or misquote a public official or private citizen, they will probably not agree to speak with you again and quite honestly, why would they? If I twisted or made up something in an article, they would have a right to be upset.
There is a code of ethics that used to be present in American journalism. The Fox model, which others soon followed, was based on Australian journalism, which in my research is anything but "Fair and Balanced," never-mind if you have to tell people that you are "Fair and Balanced" you are probably not.

And before anyone's heads explode and they attack me, I don't watch TV, I don't have cable, and I don't belong to either party, so bite me.:wave:

Ummmmm.......no............... I don't think others are a singularity of one view or side. Most are multifaceted and instead of just disagreeing, you made it personal. But I figured someone would, hench the way I finished my post. I've seen posters that have surprised me and I don't follow them or commit their post to memory. So you are not correct to call BS on anyone:wave:
