Why Fox News isn't news

[almaty 19]

yes, bush answered all the hard questions...

My main point is that I am glad the media is discussing the issue instead of rallying around Fox News from being banned from the interviews at the WH. If the other networks wanted to say they weren't going to do the interviews then every reporter knows that they are basically shooting themselves in the foot because it's their bread and butter. The White House was within their right to refuse interviews with Fox and I reference the video as she says, "The difference between Fox and news is that Fox is now actively organizing and promoting a protest movement against the US government." Fox Network runs promos for tax day tea party protests, 9/12 marches, and organizing anti-government street protests thus making them an opposition political outlet to the White House. In the early formation of our government it was not uncommon for print journalism to be associated with some line of political affiliation. Just as today various media outlets are known to have media bias. Journalism ethics have evolved since then. The standard is to report the news not create the news. By Fox News involving themselves in organizing anti-government protests they are creating the news which crosses the line and does not a news organization make. That is masquerading as a news network for personal agendas. Other examples similar to this are Dateline NBC with their "to catch a predator" show. They set that up themselves thus creating the news and entrapping people instead of simply reporting the news. There are real pitfalls with tortious newsgathering.

No.. Wrong.. Its that Obama doesn't want to answer any hard questions. And his little pansies at the All Barack Channels throw him fluff balls on a daily basis.

And the flip side is that Fox News criticizes Obama and the Democrats 24/7 but rarely criticizes the Republicans. The President's actions & policies should be analyzed & criticized when they seem suspect, but criticizing one party & glossing over mistakes made by the other party is hypocrisy, plain & simple. People like you who are so partisan that they can't see this are also hypocrites.

They'd raise their game a bit if they did away with half of their silly contributors - those guys have some of the most ridiculous opinions.

Um Glenn beck is not the news. He neither reports the news nor said he does. He is voicing his opinion on issues. Trust a rug muncher to sit there and ignore that.

Typical liberal BS of commenting on other people rather than an issue. It's ironically the same thing libs do on here. The libs cannot discuss an issue without attacking (focusing on) a person or their character.

What does it have to do with Bush? Would you take a cold shower so you can get "DOWN BOY" yourself over Bush? Then maybe we can talk.

If you're going to ignore me BY, you should follow through with it - anyone can see right through your snide little remarks.

All I can say is "Boo hooo"

If fox were on the bottom of the ratings, you wouldn't care.

For once - I agree. A little. Beck does bring some news to the table.

While I don't agree with Glen Beck on everything, he does get a lot of issues. Much like VJ, libs choke up at anyone who disagrees with them. Newsflash, a hell of a lot of the developed world does not agree with yank libs. Now, I do differentiate between Dems and libs. Or better yet, the modern bullcrap label they are using "progressive".

Pot calls kettle. Typical Lib short term memory loss issue.

You differentiate between different people, BY?

Its the modern form of new-speak. Progressive, and Pelosi's new one "Competitive Option" (referring to socialist meds), also putting more troops in Iraq was an "Escalation", but when Obama did it (and will do it again) in Afghanistan its ok...

Thats all they ever do when they can't weazle their way through a subject. Just go to the default answer.

No offense to you or your family but outside your little mothers club here, who gives a #### what you think. For a start, try posting your education for a change and then come talk big.

You're a left wing idiot in denial who is clearly not interested in facts or discussion, just ridiculing the opposition and gloating about your witty remarks. Whereas the rest of us are actually here for a discussion. Might want to try it sometime.

So far I've read claims that Fox News asks hard ball questions while other news organizations don't and that the President doesn't answer hard ball questions. Is anyone surprised by that? Any politician is trained to side step hard ball questions with the most diplomatic and ambiguous answers possible. If you're the leader of the free world you have to make it your duty to reveal what information the people need to know and discriminate what would do more harm for the public to know. Other claims I have read are that Glenn Beck is not news. As was also pointed out in the video opinion news is a kissing cousin to news. He's an American talk radio and television host and conservative political commentator.

Who gives a ** what anyone who posts here thinks.

Why are you so fixated in getting personal information out of me?

Says the right wing thug who believes in totalitarian government, authoritarian law enforcement (including the collective punishment of minority groups) and corporal punishment.

To shorten - Bush was wrong when he did it - Obama is just doing what comes natural....
