    I always felt like Fox News was biased a little, even when I was a good little christian conservative. I never knew it was so completely manufactured, though. CNN, MSNBC, etc. have nothing on Fox. There is more fact-based news in a OBL hate video. When so many people pay attention to it, other media outlets have no choice but to mimic it in order to compete for ad revenue. It has single-handedly destroyed cable news.

    That we have three pages of comments on the article despite almost no one having read it speaks volumes to the level of intellect on this board. I don't expect many here to read it because their attention span and singular vocabulary simply won't allow them to digest that much information. Also because most here aren't interested in the truth, just their version of the truth.

    dude, you didnt know that stuff? of course they are misinformed. but i dunno how much of that being misinformed is caused by fox. certainly some of it. but the sort of person who likes to be misinformed is alo the sort to watch fox. i dunno if i buy the cause/effect. sabanfan doesnt believe those chain emails because he likes fox news. he likes fox news because he is the sort of person that believes chain emails.

    and i suspect the msnbc viewer is just slightly behind, sending chain emails from the opposite end of the political spectrum, eating up rachel maddows lies. NBD, fellas, NBD.

    I'm not debating anything with a sock puppet. When Hilary Clinton pulls her arm out your a$$ I'll think about it.:thumb:

    Is there a 13 page article out there exposing how CNN, MSNBC, etc. were created with the sole purpose of pushing Democrat Party propaganda that I missed?

    It's okay, though. You don't have to read it. I know how words sometimes intimidate people, especially when it's more than what will fit onto on screen.

    Ooooh, there's an article written by some hack. Well that certainly gives the argument instant credibility. I'm constantly amazed by both sides that think their side, either left or right, is Gods gift to creation while the other is the devil's spawn. It has been getting even worse over the last 15 or so years. Almost every single major media outlet is severely biased towards one side or the other and neither is capable of seeing the bias on their side. Yet they spend countless hours beating their chest and crying about the horror they feel about the bias of the other side. So your koolade is strawberry while the other side is drinking grape, what's the difference? Fox is biased and the owner/creator has an agenda, wow that's really ground breaking news. I guess Ted Turner and Jane Fonda are to be considered moderates right? It's absolutely comical to watch the biased extremists on both sides point to the other side and call them biased extremists.
