[Fox]

I have mixed feelings about Fox News.

On the one hand, I hate Fox news' lies and misleading statements.
On the other hand, I like the arguments they have during their news opinion entertainment sections.

What is really going on is this....The news opinion entertainment says something, then the "news" part of Fox that people don't know about reports what the other hand of Fox says as news, which to some odd degree is true in a strange way. More explaination....Glen Beck, a news opinion entertainment program, complains about Obama. A few hours later, the New desk reports "conservatives complain about Obama" which is what Beck said. Get it?

I don't recall anyone being this worked up when Dan Rather, CBS news, and the Killian documents.

How about Reuters doctoring photos for their news stories?

I guess everyone is a pot calling the kettle black.

there is a difference. Rather's was a limited and he essentially ended his career over it. It was also far less deliberate than the clip in that fox video. You're right in that there are other instances, but fox is unique in that it's part of their methodology rather than some isolated incident.

You're both right. Democracy is fundamentally democratic, which means it almost certainly will become socialistic: the poor, lazy and stupid have most of the votes.

Don't forget about taking talking points from the Bush White House.

Let us not lose our perspective here.

Paid Lying: What Passes for Major Media Journalism

Posted: 2009/11/09
From: Mathaba

Today's major media journalism is biased, irresponsible, sensationalist reporting that distorts, exaggerates or misstates the truth... masquerading as fact to boost circulation, readership, viewers, or listeners, and on vital issues suppresses uncomfortable truths to provide unqualified support for state and/or corporate interests.
Major media sources produce what Project Censored calls "junk food news." In Manufacturing Consent, Herman and Chomsky explained the "propaganda model" that controls the public message by "filter(ing)" disturbing truths, "leaving (behind) only the cleansed residue fit to print" or air.

The New York Times - Its Lead Role in Distorting and Suppressing Truth

The Paper of Record has a long history of:

-- supporting the powerful;

-- backing corporate interests;

-- endorsing imperial wars;

-- supporting CIA efforts to topple elected governments, assassinate independent leaders, prop up friendly dictators, secretly fund and train paramilitary death squads, practice sophisticated forms of torture, and menace democratic freedoms at home and abroad. For decades, in fact, some Times' foreign correspondents were covert Agency assets. Others today likely are as well as other prominent fourth estate members.

National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting (PBS)

NPR promised to be an alternative to commercial broadcasters by "promot(ing) personal growth rather than corporate gain (and) speak with many voices, many dialects."

Having long ago abandoned its promise, and given its substantial corporate and government funding, NPR is indistinguishable from the rest of the corporate media.

FAIR analyzed PBS's flagship NewsHour guest list and drew similar conclusions. Like NPR, it's ideologically right and usually censors progressive content and public interest programming. FAIR compared its content to ABC's Nightline and found that it presented "an even narrower segment of the political spectrum." It then conducted an analysis of all of its programs, got similar results, and determined that NewHour is even more ideologically right than NPR.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)

In October 2007, FAIR bemoaned the Murdoch takeover because of his "penchant for using his holdings for his personal (views) and business interests." Earlier FAIR and the Columbia Journalism Review criticized its editorial page for inaccuracy, extreme bias, and dishonesty.

The BBC's Long Tradition As An Imperial Tool

From inception in 1925, it's been reliably pro-government and pro-business, or as its founder Lord Reith wrote the establishment:
