video.google.com — Former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a "right-wing" point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said "There's no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can't be crossed."

If you know anyone who watches Fox show them these so they can see what really goes on there.

"i give this post 30 more minutes before the neocons all bury it as inaccurate."apparently this statement was too spot on for the neo-cons to allow it so they buried it. -5 diggs. Why? Because I was just plain wrong to say it.... but if i was wrong... why was this post deemed possibly inaccurate? This site needs to require people to make an actual post outlining what a post's inaccuracies are because as it is now, if someone doesnt like that a post makes them look bad it is deemed as possibly inaccurate. Everyone needs to repeat this message over and over because irresponsible people abuse features designed to warn people about discrepencies an article may have, NOT about a VIDEO that they might not agree with because it might may certain people look bad for believing in certain things.

i love how the only conservative news station gets attacked.... you cant watch the today show with out seeing katie curic exercise her liberal point of view on just about every issue above the latest fashion or new recipe. and thats just 1 show of 1 station all news from abc, nbc, cnn, and cbs all support a left wing view... and yet you dont see republicans starting a smear campain about those stations! no we have a guy like Rubert Murdoch who's just gonna beat them at their own game and run a station by his own political views.please keep in mind we have two wonderful things in america, freedom of press, speach... and also capitolism. why cant fox news be right winged? why cant they ask their employees to air the news the way they want? is that any different then your boss telling you that you cant tell off a customer? sure you want to.. but your boss doesnt, and if you do it, you'll most likely lose your job... welcome to america.

I don't know how it is done currently, but the idea of Digg requiring a post outlining the inaccuracies in an article before it is listed as inaccurate is a very good one. Prehaps it could require a threshold of people listing it as inaccurate, or something similar, voting even. It is too easy to mark an artical as inaccurate because you disagree with its message.

"okay so stating the obvious gets dugg now? I mean c'mon people ... this isn't news."It's the VIDEO section dude. V-I-D-E-O Do you know what a video is? Last time I went to the VIDEO store, there were VIDEOS to rent and view, not relevent news stories.

The problem is not that they are biased, it's that they pretend not too be. Many news programs are biased. The thing that pisses people off is that they call themselves 'Fair and Balanced'. If they just came out and said, 'These are our editorial views. You can choose to agree or disagree, but this is what we think', then no one would care.

If your only defense against something is a lie; IE that this post is inaccurate -Then you have no credibility. Your point of view is indefensible; if it weren't - you'd defend it.

"Nail on the head, news will lean any direction if it gets ratings. Fox leans right and all the others lean left. There is not one unbiased news program out there."Bulls**t. There are plenty of biased new programs out there, but they aren't masquerading as news, they are commentary shows and are shown to be such. They may have more left leaning people hosting these shows, but the news itself is not biased "towards the left"; news if news.The Fox News channel pushes propoganda, period. NONE of the other news stations do this. This whole liberal media bias is a sham brought about by people in a room making talking points to feed to the masses to regurgitate to each other. There's a serious lack of critical thinking in this country, and too much allowing of talking points to become fact.

@swab the deckI'm sorry your post wasnt in short little snippets so my add didnt allow me to read it.Difference of opinion thats all I see something thats not objective, I heard thigns that were cut off. Don't get me wrong I think fox is a waste of radiowaves big time but I would rather see people questioning what they watch for its integrity then to watch something and agree with it based on it being on your own side of the spectrum value wise.
