"How did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, & CNN miss this story". They didn't. Fox news lied.

'nuff said.

[Annihilator]

Wait, fox lied?


NO FUCKING WAY!

So who lied here Derby? Pretty clear it was NBC.

[commanderkai]

All media networks are biased. Look at the whole CBS Rathergate issue, or MSNBC with their shrieking loons, and Fox News with Beck, I'm sure I can bother to come up with others, but who cares? Pretending Fox is somehow original, or for that matter, the worst of them all is blatant stupidity.

[DerbyX]

Note: To ridens NBC crap.

First off its Off-topic. Shall I report you to the mods like you did me in the Toronto gun thread?

This isn't about NBC. This is about a blatant lie told by Fox news.

I always find it pathetic the way you cons decry all other media as being biased when yours is the worst offenders that exist.

Any idiot who actually thinks fox news and its ilk like glenn beck aren't the worst examples of journalistic integrity are quite frankly hopelessly brainwashed.

This is just another reason the radical right in the US is approaching cult status.

I never thought of it that way, but, yeah, it does feel kind of culty, doesn't it? Especially this Beck guy, with his "We are not alone" business.

If stupid was a cult then yes.

I don't care that Fox is biased. I know it is. I just find it entertaining that you guys think it's the most biased, when it really isn't, and the fact more left leaning media outlets aren't biased either, which they are.

Glenn Beck is an idiot, sure, but so was Dan Rather, and the idiot commentators like Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. Oh but I'm the brainwashed one, for noticing that oh shit, everybody is biased.

I find it entertaining that most of the right wing hacks who decry left wing media bias consistently reference them for source material yet us lefties only reference right wing media as a source of entertainment and ridicule 9with good reason).

When left media promotes anything approaching the ray of stupidity that is glenn beck call me. Until then.

[DerbyX]

Keith Olbermann is heads and shoulders above beck.

[ridenrain]

This is the fight for the TV eyes and ears of Americans and the usual suspects take the usual sides. Reguardless of the banter, Van Jones got fired because of Beck and ACORNs funding was cut by the senate because of FOX.

[DerbyX]

Obama got elected because of leftist media.

I could provide a much more specific diagnosis than that!

I don't have a problem with bias. Especially when it's coming from a source that shows its bias and it becomes expected.

I have problems with a source that goes beyond bias. A lie, especially from a media outlet is unforgivable.

I know what to expect from Fox or the CBC and I use a little common sense to ignore the bias if it exists and read between the lines. Fox's ad in this case is so far over the top it's disgusting. With regard to Glen Beck, that’s an individual that is simply a candidate for a jacket with extra long sleeves with buckles at the end.

Although FOX is especially bad, the entire 24-hour cable news cycle sucks in general. They're in a constant feeding frenzy for ratings. They don't report news any more, they create it according to their biases. A "news" station doesn't have a daily cycle of so-called information that's being spewed out not by anchors or journalists but by paid professional pundits, talk-radio hosts, and columnists. The whole spectum of cable news is thoroughly untrusworthy and should be ignored by anyone looking for accurate inormation.

Glenn Beck gets 3 million viewer or so per day? Big deal, that's like maybe 1% of the US population. 20 years ago one of the networks they gave comedian David Brenner (who was a fuck of a lot funnier and more intelligent than Beck could ever be) a talk show and it was cancelled as a failure for only getting 3 million viewers. Keep that factoid in mind in order to maintain some perspective.

And that ain't sayin' much
