normally i avoid the home of bill or reilly like the plague. but i went over to see how the big 3 news networks websites were covering today.
go look at thier website, they changed a lot of the headers and menus to a blue color.
aaahh, subliminal messaging in attempt to grab the left to thier side.
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
I think it's going to take more than a blue background to trick people into thinking that Fox News is lib-friendly...
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
maybe they should promote the fact that they are one of the democratic party's largest donors? no, then thier anchors would have to critique their bosses.

People are just meat to these people.
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
Fox is NOT news....FOX network...run by Rupert Murdock....is a patsy for the Repulican party. They never report the news in an objective way...they report it with a Fox twist....they news as THEY see it. FOX News is NEVER real news. You want to see REAL news....watch BBC....or NBC
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
NBC?
hhahahahahaah...why do you think they're in last place amongst the networks...even CBS does better which is saying something...
BBC though...totally agree :RockOn:
Cable though will give you the complete-type coverage, agreeing or not.....
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
C-SPAN. Utterly spinless, to the point of being impenetrably dull to all but the hardest of news junkies...

ya, I have to agree, SPAN, though really dull and boring, is the best source of 'news'.
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
I cant say for SURE about NBC....but let me take a crack at it, I could be wrong. NBC is the lowest rated, cuz they dont choose to sensationalize the news. Fox is ALL about sensationalism.

I'd have to disagree with you there. As far right as Fox is, MSNBC is just as far left - watch ten minutes of Olberman or Scarborough Country and you'd think Republicans drink the blood of orphans.
But they're all about sensationalism, every one of them. Fox has just perfected the whole "the world is about to end" style of journalism, which is why they lead the pack.
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
me thinks someone lives in a world where foxnews and bill oreilly have a grip on world leadership and they have strike teams in iraq killing ppl for ratings..
oh wait, that world is fake.

Re: something i noticed-- fox news
I completely noticed the same thing the other day when I was watching it. I thought it was all in my head.
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
The sightless: HAHAHAHAHAHAA Too funny! Molested by a Fox employee....HAHAHAH
But in all honesty....ANY news network is better than Fox....even if its not by much...its still a better choice. BBC is my news network of choice.
I thought that the republicans DID drink the blood of orphans.....am I to assume that they DONT???
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
Puppies, Jah, republicans drink the blood of puppies - not orphans.
Orphans have the potential to vote.

Re: something i noticed-- fox news
the sadest part is that the approach they take...this sensationalism approach...actually works for themajority of the folk in the states...i mean the channel was actually a forunner in the top 3 during and after 911...mingling amongst cnn and bbc.... the fact remains that it IS a source of news for a fuk load of americans out there...and this o riley dick....he has his fans...along with the rest of the twiddly diddly group of gossipers that provide the need to know flash news and when to shop and what to buy and who tomcruise fondled while he was vacation....
this shit is on in so many living rooms every morning and every night...and i contend and am sad to say that this is what we are coming to..this is what we are treated like..this is what it supposed to be important for us....well atleast us as in u.s..... this approach of thiers and delivery included works wonders on the american eyes that gawk at the flashy lights and bright dots designed to cause epileptic fits among the unfortunate, the rest a hypnotic ever extending trip into what we should be thinking....
fox news is exactly whats wrong with the u.s today...everything about it screams look at me im a one eyed two toothed honky tonk from tha sticks and them tearists are stealin ma country so imagonna shee oot them bastards....and gaad bless america...mm mm mm...now pass me the bucket o chicken while i sip dis gallon of diet coke and put on dat tv....
Re: something i noticed-- fox news
I am sorry, but you guys are entirely wrong. There is not a single news station that is fair, honest and un-biased. I watch all stations, and I read all lib and con news sites. This is what a person must do to get the most accurate information and process it to their best ability. You guys attack FOX for what ABC, CBS, CNN, etc, have been doing for decades and that is feeding the public up right Liberal bull shit.
Yes Fox News is a conservative station, but it my perspective they give at least some glimpse of the truth.
You may ask yourself why are other networks getting conservatives on their stations? They are getting their asses kicked by Fox. People are choosing to watch. I think most of you missed that whole point. It is your choice to turn on the tv and it is your choice to put on Fox. Simply, is what the public wants.
I do watch Bill O'Reilly and it is not because I enjoy his show, I actually can not stand the guy. I do watch because he challenges my train of thought. To be strong in any argument you must know exactly the opposite of your argument.

comment of the week. i would rather have my opinion on a topic, and know where the so called opposition comes from. you wont learn anything about your own views until you see what else is out there. i wont go to foxnews.com ever, but i will pop on their network from time to time. and the same for MSNBC after imus. (i watch him religiously). CNN, of the big american 3, is the most neutral, but also the worst with sensationalism and fireworks. they make a big deal too much. the BBC is great , imho, as it usually gives the outsiders viewpoints, and both sides as well. you will get pro and anti war sentiment in interviews from ppl outside the US politcal process.
the only thing i must give credit to in regards to the big 3 US news networks, is thier coverage of emerging and emergency news. they fight each other to get more reporters and scoops, and that helps us. for instance, the NOLA and the asian quake and tsunami. sadly, they were fighting for ratings, but we, in the end, benifitted because instead of having 3 guys at the FEMA HQ, we had 50 on the ground. i remember watching shepard smith in a boat, with 3 blakc guys, going house to house, helping ppl, you at least got the idea of what was really happpening.

while alleging bias in other news forums, people tend to gravitate towards the news sources that best represent their own biases.

Very true.
For example... those attacking FoxNews as right-wing, while claiming the BBC is fair & balanced. :roll:

Re: something i noticed-- fox news
really.. who cares? watch what you want to. if someone screamed at me for watching any of them, i think i would give the good old open palm smack to the head.
