Fox News: The Grand Speculators
Thursday, October 8th, 2009It’s not news. Seriously it’s not news. It also shouldn’t be news that fox news has the most incorrect reports known to media… while they spew out things like “liberal media bias.” Don’t believe me? You probably watch fax news. I have stated before I and I will state it again: the authority you don’t question is the most dangerous authority.
Fox News: The Grand Speculators
This story is very interesting… not because Fox News tried to bribe the reporters to keep quiet, but because Fox News won a landmark case that had shown that lying to the public under the guise of unbiased news, is not against the law and that any news organization can lie, distort and just make shit up, all under the guise of honestly informing the public.
That is not the only case of Fox News blatantly deceiving the public, that is just the case that had shown that lying is allowed by the FCC… but saying a few words that some people don’t like is not allowed. Seriously, how fucked up is that?
Now most of Fox News is not news anymore, it’s TV show hosts speculating. Just bare assertions, spewing fallacies as if they are truth. Recently Glenn Beck had shown a video of a kid getting beat to death with a railroad tie, then said that it was the result of money no longer being printed with “In God We Trust” on it, and those damn atheists. Pure speculation, that belongs more to a B horror movie than to a channel that claims to be fair and balanced.
Sean Hannity, Bill O’ Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and many talk radio personalities continue to state that the health care bill has death panels and coverage for illegal immigrants in it, when it has been proven to be factually wrong. No death panels of any conceivable incarnation exists in the health care bill (I have read the whole thing over several times). And if anyone says that an illegal immigrant can be a qualified eligible citizen for the public option, then they are just fucking retarded or deliberately misleading.
No matter how you look at Fox News, they are not news, they are bare assertion fallacies.
