They issue irrefutable facts and then cover them in propaganda (which is always the same) which suits the owners of the countries. Take for example the report on US torture. The facts are the US are guilty of systemic torturing of innocent people and the results of that torture has proven to be useless, and yet the media present it as "well, this happened and now WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE FROM MUSLIMS ATTACKING US. Fear. Give us MORE POWER".

I see you avoided posting your news sources.

Whilst your numbers show that many people watch this rubbish, what they don't show is that most of them are as thick as shit.

And you know this how?

Because they elect pricks like Boehner and Paul.

THERE'S A JESUS WHEEZER THREAD WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!

love it when they get caught out. Usually they tweak the script a bit but on the lesser stories they cannot be arsed.

I see there is an entire thread dedicated to "FOX News". Must not be a popular nor legitimate news station to deserve soo much attention.

I never heard of it. Where is it broadcast?. I would like to catch an episode.

Fox News viewers are a funny lot; they have their faith, no need for truth or factual reporting - kinda matches a certain demographic; not so much a news station, more of a network that preaches to the believers...

Do you watch Fox News?

^ I've seen it from time to time - not a 'watcher'...

I watch various news sources and kinda average it out then try to make my own mind up. I'm not much of a believer in other people's conventions; especially corporate cronies such as Murdoch.

You must be talking about the opinion sections, as they are a fairly good news source, but I can see by the liberal opinions you post you would not like the opinion section.

I'd give their straight news a 5/10. They do a lot of editing that slants the truth. 75% of their programming is editorial. The token liberals they employ like Juan Williams are insipid lackeys.

Bollocks, it's mostly rubbish like Obama slagging, Obamacare or Ebola scaremongering, complete distortion of the state of the economy, or lightweight tosh like celeb stories.

It's the television equivalent of the New York Post, aimed at brainless morons who suck it up.

Bill O'Reilly's pretty good...For getting my blood pressure up.

Fox shite!

Love to Hate.

Some humans have odd behavior!

Sup

I didn't even post that,,,,,odd.

Must be a vast. right wing conspiracy. Dunno!

Eating Popcorn thingie!

Fox News Main Page Headline: Federal Judge rules immigration action unconstitutional.
Actual: A judge issues opinion in response to a criminal case.
"Article" closes with this gem: The latest opinion was first reported by the Volokh Conspiracy blog

Actually reads in an opinion, as you said. Does not say it is a ruling. But go ahead get your spin on.

A right wing judge who's been suspended in the past writes an unnecessary and irrelevant opinion on a simple criminal case, which is jumped on by desperate republitards.

Move along now, nothing to see here. Just another squealing Fox "News Alert".

It was on the news section. The story opens with "A federal judge has found parts of President Obama's immigration executive actions unconstitutional" and that is also what the host said introducing the story and that is patently untrue.

I am not putting any spin on it. FOX is.

In law-talking dude speak the Judge's little rant about the executive action is, at best, "dicta" meaning it is SOLELY his opinion and has no binding force of law. Legally it is as relevant as if he'd taken a moment to opine on who should be the NFL MVP this season in the middle of his opinion. Rule #1 of federal courts: No "advisory" opinions allowed, there must be an "actual case or controversy" in front of the judge to decide on or the ruling is null and void.

It is a prime example of FOX lying in the middle of the news section which you say strives to tell the truth.

You obviously did not read the article, there are maybe headlines on both fox and liberal news that can be deceiving if you don't actually read what it says.

Fox will always try and spin rubbish like this. Look how many Benghazi Fox "News Alerts" they come up with, yet I have yet to see them admit that a Republican dominated committee ruled that every piece of rubbish they have reported is utter bollocks.

What the hell are you talking about?

The problem is that I DID read the article and the headline is a misleading representation of what the article says and what the facts are. Which is the point I was making.

Stop trying to put up strawmen.

I am not trying to put up a straw man, it is not uncommon for all news sources to do exactly the same thing, you are just searching for ways to discredit one particular news source. Every day I find and point out exactly this type of reporting on liberal news blogs. If your going to point out this type of reporting from Fox News why don't you be a little more honest and include the entire news sources. In this way you are being just as dishonest.
The fact is, the facts in the article are there all one has to do is read.
