Fox News' Lies

Fox News has the temerity to feign offense when the Obama administration accurately describes the channel as a biased, and politically-motivated network instead of a real news operation.

And the administration is committed to treating Fox as such and will not pretend that it is an professional establishment. While Fox News does occasionally demonstration real journalism - and the White House should not get in a fight with it - the network is indisputably devoted against Obama’s achievement.

And it is not alone. Recently, a memo was released detailing how the New York Post (also owned by Rupert Murdoch) is committed to the failure of the president:
Fox News' Lies
Fox News is trying to rally opposition to the Obama agenda. It actively promotes right-wing rallies (many of whom contain racist signs at the events) and then gives the protesters an abundant amount of coverage to pretend that a few fringe right-wing extremists represent some sweeping movement. Call it the Fox News Delusion: energize the base, and then shower them with network time and pretend that it is really a big rally.

Alas, the tea-party rallies are not a new movement and this was made clear when a conservative candidate - highly promoted by Fox as a modern day Mr. Smith - lost his race against a Democrat in a district with more Republicans than Democrats.

But Fox is not disheartened and never is bothered by such facts. Recently the network has been working on building opposition to Obama’s health-care agenda. Fox is playing the same game with the tea-party-ers. That opposition is widespread and this represents the heart of America. Blah, Blah, Blah. . .

But the network was recently caught in their lie to make it appear as if a recent anti-health care bill rally was a big event when really such a few showed up. They used footage from a previous rally and put it under the health care headline. Jon Stewart of the Daily Show reported on it:

Fox News has never adhered to professional standards and no accountability will be found here now or ever. If anything, they thrive on their rogue reputation.

Obama is right: Dismiss Fox.

No, the tea-party is not a new event. The first one was in the late 1700’s in Boston, protesting ”big govt.” from England. The present-day people are doing the same thing.
If you want a nanny state, stick around in the USA (especially in the northeast or California). I reluctantly left the USA, and came to Mexico years ago and I take care of myself here in this weak-govt. paradise.

There is confusion when the word ”tamarity” is used instead of the proper description ”tenacity” It is the tenacity of Fox news that has made its success along with ehe following it has garnered with respect of the viewer. The other news outlets have a sheeple folloeing that shows in their ratings. One must underatand how Fox works.
They have news portions that deal with the news of the day and /or week that is either above or on par with the rest. Fox also has statospheric news opinion show with exceedingly capable personnel bar none. Beck,O’Reilly,Cavuto,Hannity are considered the benchmarks of opinionated news reporting to which the others fail to follow. They have heard the call from the educated and diverse viewers who in essance control the end result of their success.
Any false reporting that may have been aired may have passed by the scrutinizers for the reasons of bad sources and unforeseen subterfuge from external gripers who do not wish to see success. Diverse backgrounds on both side of the fence including independents have made Fox successful by far. Those that are boring or slant reflect in the ratings that are conducted with non-biased viewer opinion.
