hannitys shit eating grin gives him away when he's just blowing shit to cover up an answer he doesn't like to hear. there is a reason why i quit watching any tv "news" ... way to much opinion, conjecture and personal attacks.

Understand that "journalism" as described by the fellow at the beginning means LIBERAL journalism, but the self-anointed would never think of those two words as being seperate.

50 years of lies and distortions by the former Big 3 networks in favor of Big Government is quite enough, with Kronkite's treasonous portrayal of the Vietnam conflict the icing on the cake.

It's the 21st century and many other voices besides liberals' are finally being heard. The "level playing field" has arrived, so put on your pads and helmets, libs.

Ohh mink! Don't talk about those excellent protectors of sound fiscal police and minimal government intervention!

What next QM? Weimar backstab after the war in Iraq cascades to shit?

Liberal Journalism. I slap my forehead in utter disbelief. Someone needs to do a bit of travelling outside of the US and take some history books on the flights.

I don't argue that Faux News deserves an exposure like this, but I don't like this doc at all. So much of that information, especially the memos, just wasn't damning, but was said in a way that really sounds like it probably is damning, if you're not paying attention to the context. And interviewing Cronkite? Of course he's going to slam Fox if he has the opportunity.

Again, Fox deserves everything they've got coming, but if you're going to do a doc attacking journalistic integrity, you've gotta be unassailable yourself. Downvote.

These motherfuckers at Faux News should be thrown into jail for the rest of their lives... and they deserve worse than that for what they do on a daily basis.

This is nothing short of ideological sabotage on a national level. The end result is people like QM- blithely ignorant, totally convinced that they are right and that their worldview is the only one which is acceptable (EVERYTHING else is just "libs").

Qauntum Mushroom - do you even realize how moronic your statement is? Was it sincere? Or do you know its bullshit, and say it anyways?

Thats the question I've always wondered about dumbass neocons - do they know they are evil, or do they somehow think they are in the right on this?

Its amazing what ignorant people will believe. This clip is classic "out of context" BS, much like what Michael Moore puts out. Grab a soundbite, edit it to fit your agenda, and publish it.

The difference between FOX news and other stations is that FOX has news and FOX has opinion shows all rolled up into a daily schedule. Todays unwashed ignorants just cant tell the difference between news and opinion. And the same unwashed ignorants are so used to seeing their left wing "news" shows as normal, that FOX appears very right wing. Funny how FOX manages to be the #1 cable news network.. Guess you looney lefties are outnumbered..

The video producers clearly show their ignorance trying to compare Bill O'Reilley's "SHUT UP" with journalism... they have no clue what journalism is.

The big problem today is that real News is boring. Its all a money proposition. That's taken all news organizations down the slippery slope of tainting news with special effects and discourse. Just look at all the news sites that let people comment on their articles. You dont think the news people read these comments and react to them? Journalists used to be judged by their peers. Now they're judged by anyone willing to register to post their opinion.

Hey libs, get used to having your crazy opinions challenged. Free speech is for everyone, not just moonbats and code-pinkos. Yes FOX has people on their network that are very right wing, but they also have left wingers on there too.

This video is another disgraceful obfuscation of the truth.

"This video is another disgraceful obfuscation of the truth."

whereas Bill O saying "after the troops go in, every american has to shut up" is fair and balanced analysis of the truth.

Do you think thats just a coincidence? Of course it isn't...Fox News wants the line blurred...they want their (as you say) ignorant viewers to see the "opinion shows" as news. If Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity said it then it must be true. I think you are making our point...but you just have it backward. It's not because those that oppose Fox News are "ignorant" and don't see the line between news and opinion...it is in fact because it is clear as day that Fox tries to blur that line

And the same unwashed ignorants are so used to seeing their left wing "news" shows as normal, that FOX appears very right wing. Funny how FOX manages to be the #1 cable news network.. Guess you looney lefties are outnumbered..
1) At one time the Number 1 pop music radio station in Los Angeles was a spanish station. Was that because they were the best? No...it's because there is a large spanish speaking population in LA and their was only 1 pop music station being broadcast in Spanish while the other 10 stations in English split up the english speaking listeners. Since then several competitors have popped up and split that spanish speaking audience and the number one station is no longer a spanish one.

2)Open your eyes...it's not just "loony lefties", it's intelligent and knowledgeable conservatives, intelligent and knowledgeable moderates and yes...there are intelligent and knowledgeable liberals out their too.

The voice of the "Plutocratic Kleptocracy" known as the US government. You are kidding yourself if you think the USA is a Democracy. No matter what party is in charge.

>>> Actually, the USA is a Republic w/ a representative democracy. BTW nice work with the 2-dollar words. Usually the beret-wearers say "plutocratic oligarchy."

QM you're talking that polarised shit again.

>>> PolariZed? Why? Because I choose a side and have values? The answer is Yes. I wonder if you'll ever do the same. If you're a bloody "--ist" of any kind, just say so.

By the way, how is that Bush/Cheney small government going?

>>> Hey I'm still for small government as are all real conservatives. Bush pissed off a lot of conservatives with his liberal spending and immigration stances. We have to win the Iraq war almost singlehandedly cause Europe is too busy kissing the asses of Muslims, so yeah, we've had to hit the ATM more than we'd like. You'd think American liberals would be joyous Bush spends like one of them, but they're never joyous about anything, they thrive on misery.

What next QM? Weimar backstab after the war in Iraq cascades to shit?

>>> What are YOU going to do when we WIN the Iraq war? We're winning it now, why do you think your uh, "non-liberal" media is so silent?

These motherfuckers at Faux News should be thrown into jail for the rest of their lives... and they deserve worse than that for what they do on a daily basis.

>>> More of that liberal "free speech for all" I see. Thank God you guys are out of power, even with a majority in Congress, you're hated.

This is nothing short of ideological sabotage on a national level. The end result is people like QM- blithely ignorant, totally convinced that they are right and that their worldview is the only one which is acceptable (EVERYTHING else is just "libs").

>>> The "need to be right" is a deadly human disease. I would never claim to be right ALL the time, only 98%. I think the left, for all its moral relativism and nihilistic fervor, doesn't stand for jack shit and has no spine, and that's why they can't bear to hear anyone with a point of view.

Qauntum Mushroom - do you even realize how moronic your statement is? Was it sincere? Or do you know its bullshit, and say it anyways?

>>> Do you even realize how to spell?

Thats the question I've always wondered about dumbass neocons - do they know they are evil, or do they somehow think they are in the right on this?

>>> No need for insults, mamaluke. And how can you call anything or anyone evil? According to the left there IS no evil! Everything is relative! See, how can we tell a cannibal his culinary choices are wrong? That would be judgmental!

now let's compare the two ideologies' media footprint:

Conservative bias...FOX News and talk radio (which is not news but mere commentary.

Mainstream Liberal Bias...New York Slimes, St. Petersburg Slimes, Washington Compost, San Fran Carbuncle, MS-DNC, CNN (Crescent News Network), ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, USA Hippie, Slime, Newsweak magazine, BankruptAir Amerikkka and 99% of Hollywood dreck.

The drive-by media no longer hide that they're a fifth column liberal propaganda machine, working and walking in lockstep for the 'Crats.

Libs had 50 years of unopposed 3-network bullshit. The party's over. ha ha ha ha.

thinker246says...

The arguments I've read here are repugnant, from both poles. Why is it so hard for people to have civil discourse anymore? I think the disintegration of logical debate is the catalyst for creation of networks like Fox News. Why would Fox be number one, unless it has all of the traits demanded by post September 11th consumers--illogical anger, trust issues, fearful consternation and ADD-style banners?

Hendomatic is correct on one assumption--Fox has opinion shows with news programs interspersed within its time frame. However, the misstep of Fox is allowing the opinion shows to devolve into shouting matches between frustrated guests and hosts who shout down anybody who refuses to pander to their particular viewpoint. They berate anybody who would disagree with them, even if that guest has a valid opinion.

People like QM can argue their point about liberal this-and-that until they're blue in the face, and I applaud them for stating their opinion, but ad hominem attacks and slander certainly don't make for pleasant and fruitful discussion.

But whom am I kidding? Nobody wants to engage in polite debate anymore, and that's a shame.

Wyndersays...

Hannity and O'Rielly aren't journalists, they're commentators and freely admit to such and that their views are biased towards a certain view. Hannity and Colms is a political talk show displaying the conservative viewpoint and the liberal viewpoint... you notice how the Liberal part of that show was completely ignored -- shows that the producers of this video has their own agenda.
