Fox takes clips out of context to suit their agenda quite often. Their commentators are lying panderers and people who don't watch any news are more informed than those who watch Fox.

This guy also does a good job of summing it up.

Because a source called "Liberal Viewer" is going to post accurate information about a conservative news source. You're a hypocrite.


Did you even watch a single God Damn video of his? I bet not. Because it's completely accurate. It shows a clip from Fox News, explains that it's been cut and edited, then goes onto show the unedited clip, exposing Fox News. How that can be biased?
I bet he also didn't check out his videos pointing out when MSNBC lies.

Indirectly attacking me like a child. How typical.
You act like a fool, ignore evidence contrary to your position, and provide none in your favor. Then you insult my reliable sources and dismiss them without even looking into them. And since your account is only 2 days old I'm going to guess that you've either been banned or created this account simply to troll. I'm going to go with the latter. So if you continue act this way I'll leave this thread and go watch How the Universe Works or Cosmos so I don't lose complete faith in humanity.

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Because Fox offends people and manages to actually fit into a stereotype.

That depends on who's doing the poll. If you think that's the standard, then you're horribly misinformed.
Charlie is actually pretty accurate.

Surprisingly, sample sizes as small as 1000 to 2000 are typically used for polls such as Presidential approval, whose margin of error is within a couple of percentage points.


However, that study was conducted in New Jersey, and is only a representative of the population of New Jersey. Not the entire nation.
Did you even look at the contents of what I posted? Or did you just look at the title and said "OMG THATS BS"?

Statewide PollThe Fairleigh Dickinson University poll of 612 adults statewide was underwritten by WFDU-FM Radio and conducted by telephone using both landlines and cell phones
from Oct. 17 through Oct. 23, 2011, and has a margin of error of +/-3.5 percentage points.


Nationwide Study
In the study, 1,185 respondents nationwide were asked about what news sources they consumed in the past week and then were asked a variety of questions about current political and economic events in the U.S. and abroad.

You're an idiot. You're the one who calls Fox biased for their presentation of the news, yet when someone points out something that is biased beyond reasonable doubt, it's now a problem. You're laughably moronic.


You're the one who's refusing to watch a video and calling it biased based on the name of the uploader and not the contents of the video.

I'll explain again. The videos consist of:

A) Show a clip taken from Fox News
B) Take an unedited clip of what Fox News aired
C) Give sources for every single statement made by himself, and the people in the video (usually President Obama)

How is that biased?

Okay, so you have a fox news article talking about unemployment rate and such.

Now, what "liberal claim" does this disprove?

The persistent claim that Obama's economic plan isn't hurting the country. Pretty obvious connection to make.
1) where is this evidence of "the persistent claim that Obama's economic plan isn't hurting the country?"

2) where's the evidence that Obama's plan is what's "hurting" the USA (also, please define "hurting the country")

A clearly biased YouTube video and a poorly conducted study aren't "reliable sources". The fact that you refer to them as such is laughable and shows how desperate you are. Also, I like how you ignored the other users here that posted contradictory evidence as well as my other link. The fact that you even went to my profile to check my join date is further proof of how desperate you are, considering you couldn't give any valid retorts.
1.You posted a link that stated that Obama's ideas were causing good things but not as much as hoped, that does not surprise me, and was probably one of the only decent articles on the site considering their advertising a "War on Christmas" video just to the side while Locke posted a poll that was in NJ and one that was nationwide. And you clearly didn't watch any videos in the playlist. Further going against your claims of honesty and intelligence. Also the posts by the other user were about the NJ poll. Not the nationwide poll. Thus not applying to the nationwide poll.
2. I checked your profile because there was a homophobic racist fool around here a while back who I remembered quite well and have had a habit of checking the accounts of low ranking members in the chance they could screwing with me.

So continue to insult and provide either no evidence or sources that don't bring the argument in your favor.

That's a pretty dead link, bro
B.net inserts a space after too many letters or symbols in a row (such as long URLs). The space in the middle of "rises" causes an error when you copypaste the address.

To avoid this irritating problem, use hyperlinks and delete any spaces in the URL you are trying to visit. This has been a Public Service Announcement. Have a safe day.

1. The evidence is the abundance of people who make the claim and liberal news outlets like MSNBC. Pay attention.

2. The unemployment rate is clearly the main focus here.
You act as if Obama personally causes the employment rate to increase, and that "liberals" ignore that the unemployment rate is high.

Neither is true.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.
Hidden in the shadows, Clothed in camo, Armed to the teeth. Hunting.

Lol this thread.
