As many of us can tell the media has been extremly slanted latley i am gunna talk about cnn and fox news. ok cnn slants liberal no doubt about that but i beleive that fox new's slant is far greater conservative then cnn's slant. i am and independent. but what really bugs me is how fox news claims how unbias they are! o'riely has got to be the biggest bias reporter on tv liberal or conservative. he needs to get off the air. all fox news and cnn does is tear our country apart even more. they are instagators in the problem of a split country. i would like to know your thoughts on this matter.
slanted journalis.

I agree 110% and I am a Registered Republican. Every station slants one way or the other, but Fox News does so more than any of them. There's plenty of evidence to support that. Bill O'Reilly has fascist tendencies in that he doesn't even allow people that he doesn't like to talk on his show. Glenn Beck has turned a complete 180* since leaving CNN, no doubt to push the ultra-conservative agenda that his Boss wants, and he's making lots of money off of it. Hannity is just a douchebag.
Prepare for the flame war.
......and before somebody gives me chit, I think Keith Olbermann is a douchebag too and I'm still wondering if Rachel Maddow is a guy or a girl.

O'Reilly has always claimed to be an Independent. Personally I think he's closer to being right center then some portray him to be. Sure he can be a pompous azz at times. FOX has kept some balance to the media. I wonder what will happen if Comcast gets a 51% share of NBC?
CNN I can tolerate and I like to watch from time to time to get a different perspective but I just can't stand MSNBC and completely agree with shortstop20 about Olbermann and Maddow.

It was proven that O'Reilly was not an Independent, he said it on air, somebody looked it up and it turned out he was a Registered Republican. He changed to Independent after that came to light. He can be center right on some issues, however on a few things he's nothing more than a GOP asskisser and is so far off to the right he almost falls off the edge.
Olbermann's voice makes me want to break the TV with a sledgehammer.
I watch very little news on TV, I get most of my news off the internet(where the real truth lies), when I do watch the news on TV, I go in order, one night I'll watch Fox, next time CNN, next time MSNBC, etc.

Fox news is the ONLY news org that reported on ACORN.
Fox news is the ONLY news org that exposed bo's czars for what they are and so far 1 has resigned and 4 more are going to.
Fox news went after bush when he lied, there is just SO much more of it now.
It is a news orgs duty to go after politicians, force them to do everything above board.
Is fox slanted conservative.
Yea, I would say so.
They are however, the ONLY news org that not only gives air time to opposing views but has reporters who are admitted liberals.
Ever hear of a conservative reporter on CNN, oh wait, there was one, he was FIRED. Now works for fox.
To say fox is tearing the country apart is laughable.
bo and his socialist/marxist doctrine is tearing this country apart.
CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS and NBC arn't just slanted liberal, they are full press anti-conservative. They don't report things that would make bo look bad.
They completely ignored the hundreds of thousand of people that went to washington to protest washingtons spending, yet every news org in the country covered the 200 protesters at the G20 meeting.

it was 75,000 people for the record, Fox incorrectly reported the numbers to make it seem bigger than it was, imagine that.

Supposedly the New York Times has recently appointed someone specifically dedicated to watching FNC so they don't completely miss out on stories like Van Jones and ACORN

They're retarded if that's true, you can find out about anything on the Internet and there's way less "spin" than on TV.

If you believe there is less spin on the net, you better do more research.
Show me examples then.
Look.... you are going to believe what you want to believe. The info is only as unbiased as the people that are supplying it. You vet your own sources, thats not my job it's yours.

So you honestly believe news agencies owned by billionaire's and corporations are less biased than news agencies on the internet that may be the same size, local newspaper, or just a small, independent news source?

UH, no actually it was bo and the white house that said 75,000.
The people who's job it is to figure those things out said anywhere from 500k to 600k and the organizers said over a million.
"Fox News is trying to make people believe that Acorn registered thousands of people that don't exist to vote, and that these people actually voted, which is not true. There are absolutely no facts that show people that registered to vote under Acorn with fake names or whatever it may be actually voted. The only thing they are guilty of is Voter REGISTRATION fraud. The more people they have register, the more money they get. They are a POS organization nonetheless."
I have never heard anything said on fox about those illegally registered voters actually voting, it was reported that acorn was guilty of voter registration fraud. Setting quotas and such, not actually voting.
And they bashed Colin Powell to death when he exposed the truth, because Fox News couldn't handle the truth.
Which truth was that?
The fact he claimed there never was weapons of mass destrution or the fact they did indeed find them?
Fox news went after bush when he lied, there is just SO much more of it now.
Sometimes they did, many times not. They all backed Bush up when he said we could fight two wars at once successfully. The American people bought it hook line and sinker. Then they use fancy words like "Advanced Interrogation Techniques" to make something out to be that it's not. Just one example of many.
many times not?
Like when?
Make something out to be that it's not?
Define "something".
Bologna. O'Reilly does nothing more than cut people off and yell at them when they don't agree with him. Not to mention Fox hires Liberals who aren't well known Liberal debaters and they aren't well known because they are not good debaters. I have never seen another person on TV that tries so hard to keep opposing views quiet
You mean like this guy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraldo_Rivera
Arn't well know liberal debaters, I didn't realize you had to have a degree to debate. Show me where MSNBC, NBC, ABC or CBS have ANY conservative debators at all.
Ever hear of a conservative reporter on CNN, oh wait, there was one, he was FIRED. Now works for fox.
And he has flipped 180* on many of his views since joining Fox, he's nothing more than a hypocrite.
Like what?
To say fox is tearing the country apart is laughable.
They spread more half truths and whole lies than any other news agency.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
You obviously either have NEVER seen MSNBC or are one of the biggest closet libs on the site.
ARE YOU KIDDING!!
Give me examples, be specific and I will go to MSNBC and show you what real lies and half truths look like.
You say they report the bad things about Bo's white house, I say only when they HAVE to.
They don't report the scandles, they don't report on ACORN (NBC STILL won't run anything on it), they don't report they hypocracy and the extreme double standards (want examples, I'll load ya up with em).
To say Fox is the worst of the worst is an absolute joke.

There are no real reporters in the main stream press anymore. When is the last time you saw any undercover investigations? Some are better than others. Some actually report facts and only let bias in a little (say 20% or so) where as other agencies bath in it (MSNBC).
There are some good bloggers out there, I like the drudge report. They have cracked some great stories over the last few years and they have a load of links to other blogger pages.
However, you have to be carefull, just like on this site, just because it's on the web doesn't make it so. For every good blogger news site out there, there are 20 that are total BS.
Listen, your all right (correct)
media in this country pitches what sells, not what we need to hear and not neccessarly the truth, usually some half truth version.
right now our country is run by liberals so guess what the pendulm has swung to the right in the media world and fox is capitolizing on it. Spread doom/gloom and fear and people are glued to it.
After 2012 the govmt might just be ultra conservitave and guess what the liberal stations might be doing better than fox.
I don't like bill o'riley, for the reasons stated above
Beck, he's makin a fortune on fear
you kinda need to take em all and throw em in a blender and you might land somewhere near the truth.

To a degree you are correct.
But you need people that are willing to toss this stuff out there.
Even under Bush when he was getting hammered by the liberal press, some of the stuff was actually true. Most of it wasn't.
With bo, there is no going after him.
If you speak ill of him you are attacked.
I thing O-Riley is a blow hard, Beck is just flat intertaining and we need them both.
O' Riley has been going after ACORN for months now, Beck is exposing the czars, do you think anyone in the main stream press was going to report any of this stuff? Heck they still refuse to report on it even after the total corruption is exposed.
People have a right to be scared right now, if you arn't scared, you arn't paying attention.
This country is on the verge of losing everything this country was founded on.
If you don't think so, you arn't paying attention.

A young man and a young girl dressed up like a hooker and a pimp.
They exposed some of the worst corruption since water gate and what happened?
The media ignored it or attacked the 2 that exposed ACORN.
They did a poll a couple weeks ago that showed less than 25% of americans trust the media to report the truth. That right there pretty much says it all.
