Fox is truthful in only 18% of their stories. Wing nuts know this and yet they keep going back for more.
Fox is not a news network. Legally, they are an "entertainment" network. The wingnuts know that too.
Fox's ratings are not nearly as high as the wingnuts believe. They look ONLY at cable ratings and think that represents the entire population.
The funniest part of the whole Fox scam is that the very people who say they hate Muslims get their news from one. And they know that too.
The lure of someone telling you that you're right is powerful.Fox News, MSNBC ABC, CBS, CNN, and using Google where I can pick other sources. Just keep your eyes on the facts that are reported, and don't worry so much about the perspective. If the facts are accurate, you're OK.My question would probably make for a boring thread on it's own......
But I'd be interested in news sources people think are good.
Or at least more about how the taking heads on this site get their material.
I'll go first.
I prefer the following:
Non Fiction History Books
Senate.gov and house.gov, for legislation in it's untranslated form.
CSPAN, without commentary.
The Economist.
Foreign papers in english, online, for new specific to a particular incident in a country.
The McLaughlin Group....yes, they're still alive, and on early Sunday mornings
The Daily Show
Fox News and MSNBC for giggles, and to see how people on this site get so wrong
Here's a good example.
Obiwan said that liberals never post facts. I posted facts, PROOF that he's slurping up lies and he doesn't have the balls to read the links.
The fact is, gullible RWs want to be stupid and they succeed. They know they're being lied to and they just keep going back for more.
Face it, the Libs are just upset that so many people reject Liberal talking points masquerading as news. That's why the Libs always try to scream "Fox isn't a source". But ask the Libs to point out examples of inaccurate reporting by Fox (with links) and the Libs suddenly disappear.
Well, not really true.......
Pundifact found Fox News to have only told the truth 18 percent (15 of 83) of the time for the statements they checked. And even of that 18 percent, only 8 percent of what they said was completely “True.” The other 10 percent was rated as “Mostly True.”
A staggering 60 percent (50 of 83) comments were found to be either “Mostly False,” “False,” or “Pants on Fire.”
The other 22 percent were rated “Half True.”
Essentially well over half of what Punditfact has fact-checked on Fox News has been a lie and only 18 percent has been deemed factual.
The regular "liberals" Fox News shows are has been's like Doug Schoen, failures like Pat Caddell, and losers like Alan Colmbs. They have ineffectual liberals making the liberal case, and anchor/moderators that favor the conservatives.Fox is truthful in only 18% of their stories.

FNC (Fox News Channel) is a News Network.
Fox has an Entertainment Network also
Fox has a movie channel also.
Fox has two Sports Channels also.
It's obvious you don't watch FNC or you'd know they have Conservatives and Liberals on all their political discussion shows.

Punditfact, a branch of Politifact, has put together profiles for CNN, MSNBC and Fox News detailing just how honest each of these networks are. And while it’s obviously not a completely comprehensive profile (it would be nearly impossible to fact check every single thing said on each network) it’s a decent measure of the honesty of each. And what do you know, Pundifact found Fox News to have only told the truth 18 percent (15 of 83) of the time for the statements they checked. And even of that 18 percent, only 8 percent of what they said was completely “True.” The other 10 percent was rated as “Mostly True.” A staggering 60 percent (50 of 83) comments were found to be either “Mostly False,” “False,” or “Pants on Fire.”

Reading some of the other threads on here, the issue that FOX news dominates the ratings wars often comes up.......A recent survey finds that right wingers, in general, do NOT trust any other news source BUT Fox.
On the surface, right wingers will "conclude" that since Fox ranks so high, it must be "good" and "trustworthy.".................But is this really the conclusion that should be readily accepted?
Now, I'm sure that right wingers on here will quickly respond that any criticism of Fox's high ratings is based on envy...or liberal spin and biases.
However, for the more open-minded fellow posters, a simple explanation may make sense.
Let's say that the entire rating system was comprised of 10 people; 4 of whom are conservatives and the other 6 span the political spectrum from liberal to independent.....
Now, the 4 conservative faithfully and unwaveringly watch Fox giving that cable network 40% ratings......while the other six watch...CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Al-Jazeera-America, Russia-Today, ABC and several other Internet-based news sources (especially for the younger generation).......
It should not be too difficult to then conclude that no other competitor to Fox would even remotely come close to that network's 40% rating.
Yet, the question remains: Is this dominance by Fox in the ratings' war a good or bad thing for the conservative movement, ideology and growth ?

Since Fox has gained prominence, Repubs have lost the popular vote in 5 out of the last 6 presidential elections. I think it's an echo chamber that blinds them to any idea other than what Fox suggests.
You aren't one of those people who think Conservative media is truthfull and accurate, and Liberal/Mainstream media is dishonet and innaccurate.....are you?PolitiFact Florida s 5 Most Biased Rulings - Media TrackersFace it, the Libs are just upset that so many people reject Liberal talking points masquerading as news.

PolitiFact Florida shows no signs of becoming a credible, objective political fact-checking group despite being exposed for liberal, pro-Democrat bias in a 2012 Media Trackers Florida investigation.
PolitiFact Florida, a self-appointed political fact-checking group employed by the ultra-liberal Tampa Bay Times, has a glaring record of political bias, a Media Trackers Florida investigation revealed last August. The Media Trackers Florida analysis found PolitiFact gives strikingly more negative rulings against Republicans than Democrats, often employing twisted logic and flat-out falsehoods to justify its rulings.
Just what exactly is there to contribute? Fox News is popular. Libs hate that fact. /thread11 pages and liberals aren't obsessed?

Fox Affiliate Correct To Fire Irresponsible Journalists. legal accuse state - Politics and Other Controversies -Democrats Republicans Libertarians Conservatives Liberals Third Parties Left-Wing Right-Wing Congress President - City-Data ForumANyone who relies on FNC as a news source is an idiot. They have the LEAST news of all of the networks...it is an entertainment network. Idiot teapers can't tell the difference between fact and opinion. Neither can moronic liberals who love MSNBC. Fox is NOT an news channel...it is an ENTERTAINMENT Channel. And for the stupid idiot who thinks FNC has the BEST breaking news...
if there is a breaking news story, FNC is the LAST channel I would check...they don't have the resources outside of pundits pushing the teaper agenda.. FNC doesn't cover news...they are like USMB...they simply support the tea party hate narrative. The censor and edit anyone with an opposing opinion.
They get away with lying in 82% of their stories. They even went to court to get permission to lie to their audience.
Fox News gets okay to misinform public court ruling Media Reform CeaseSPIN.org
Appellate Court Rules Media Can Legally Lie.
By Mike Gaddy. Published Feb. 28, 2003
The court did not dispute the heart of Akre’s claim, that Fox pressured her to broadcast a false story to protect the broadcaster from having to defend the truth in court, as well as suffer the ire of irate advertisers. Fox argued from the first, and failed on three separate occasions, in front of three different judges, to have the case tossed out on the grounds there is no hard, fast, and written rule against deliberate distortion of the news.
The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.
In its six-page written decision, the Court of Appeals held that the Federal Communications Commission position against news distortion is only a “policy,” not a promulgated law, rule, or regulation. Fox aired a report after the ruling saying it was “totally vindicated” by the verdict.

LOL! These 'people' contesting Fox are not Liberals... Fox sets Liberals next to each and every Conservative they interview... Fox presents the Leftist position next to every Conservative position that they present...
