- nascarthunder, on 10/10/2007, -12/+185How can anyone continue to watch this "news" channel that is full of nothing but lies and hatred? No matter what side of the aisle you stand, democrat or republican, you can not deny the lies, propaganda and bias that Fox News spreads.
So here is an honest question:
For you diggers out there who watch Fox News, why do you continue to watch a channel with such lies and bias?
I’m honestly interested in seeing what people have to say in defense of Faux News. - XISUPERMANIX, on 10/10/2007, -7/+110I watch it because it is the best comedy on tv.
- dallascorbin504, on 10/10/2007, -1/+51Trust me, The republicans hate RP more than the Democrats want to defeat him. He is not what most people think of when you say republican. But truth be told, his values are more republican than the rest of the field. Small Government, a non-intervention foreign policy, and true liberty for all Americans.
Bottom line....RP is not a good reason to waste your brain by watching Fake news. They are neo-cons! not republicans. - Rovian, on 10/10/2007, -11/+55Sick and getting sicker!
- dallascorbin504, on 10/10/2007, -11/+51How can anyone bare to watch racist people like sean hannity and bill orally? They are not journalists! they are spin doctors who cant wait for their turn to suck some executive branch *****. as a matter of fact, ***** the entire MSM.
- Daunting, on 10/10/2007, -11/+44I think I speak for everyone when I say, ***** FAUX NEWS!!!
- MrARPA, on 10/10/2007, -4/+34I watch it in the UK over an unofficial Internet stream. It's rather like reading a tabloid newspaper, you know it's basically right-wing rubbish, but there is a sort of entertainment value to it.
- halavais, on 10/10/2007, -5/+32I am not a fan of Fox News, but did you actually watch the story:
1. They admit that people coming from Fox IPs, among other media outlets, made changes to Wikipedia.
2. They end the story with a quote suggesting that the fact that the changes were reverted demonstrates that Wikipedia is a fairly solid reference.
Sorry, but I think the story was actually [shudder!] pretty fair and balanced. - futuretense, on 10/10/2007, -9/+35you eat dog ***** rather than maggot soup. brilliant
- consonance, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28Did anyone actually watch the video clip? It was highly informative, and the spin that was present was not prevalent but still noticeable. Despite the slight bias, the story actually got the facts right and presented a succinct summary of the situation. I'd even say that was a good piece of journalism. Notice that the reporter wasn't Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, or Neil Cavuto; it was written by a man named David Lee Miller. If you can ignore the positive portrayal of Fox, it's not bad.
People say that Fox News is criticizing Wikipedia here, but it's not. If so, why would they present a statement saying that Wikipedia would come out stronger because the wrongful edits would be removed? Yes, the story is somewhat negative, but it has to be; it's describing the exploits of big business. Saying that the site will come out stronger is an optimistic message that will ultimately provide Wikipedia legitimacy. - TroubleInMind, on 10/10/2007, -13/+39LEELOO DALLAS MULTIPASS
- vanbacon, on 10/10/2007, -6/+27Are you hi on weed man The Communist where defeated by the giant Zuchinni from pluto that made the Russians ***** their pants. And that is how The battle for middle Earth was won. With spatulas and Angry goblins with Proton packs filled with mustard.
- Bhima, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19I'm not going to claim anything but I will make the observation that CNN does not have an "LIB bias" or "extreme left tilt".
I would suggest that your television experience is so extremely conservative biased that centrist mainstream America *appears* leftist to your view. - lokai, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23I am a devoted viewer of Fox News because I feel that it presents today's most important issues in an unbiased, highly professional manner. I've a feeling that the vast majority of Diggers have never even watched Fox News for themselves and have become blinded by the internet propaganda machine. Fox News exists to make sure that the entire truth gets out to the American public.
Or perhaps I've gotten that back asswards. - bugsy187, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Digg doesn't hate anything. It's a news website. If there's a trend of opinion among readers, it's a natural part of people having opinions.
I don't doubt that other new organizations may have tampered with wikipedia, but I don't see the point of crying bias when everyone has it. - r1y23, on 10/10/2007, -6/+24This reminds me so much of that news station in "V for Vendetta". Its creepy that Fox News has made it to that level.
- smurf22, on 10/10/2007, -11/+29Even though I dont like FOX news, FAUX isnt witty or funny.
- mushoo, on 10/10/2007, -5/+22Embarrassed? I have never seen any of the Fox "News" ***** show anything resembling anything nearing embarrassment. Just look at Chris Wallace, smarmy *****, the ***** looks like he took smirking classes from Dick Cheney.
- DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19Mate you have to have been living under a rock for the past twenty years not to find Fox News an embarrassment to journalism. I'm from the UK and it seems that every week Fox is getting up to no good.
- Lionhart, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Have you ever even watched Lou Dobbs?
- Sp00k, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17Ridiculous... utterly ridiculous. Only on the internet could you see such mindless drivel.
Everyone knows they were filled with ketchup, not mustard. - sleeknerve, on 10/10/2007, -6/+18Why are you guys all mad, i saw nothing wrong with this segment, they admitted that they were one of the crooks too, they could have not reported it or even lied, they totally told the truth, if this was CNN, it would have been fine with u guys
- beatmonger, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13"We'd save lives because Mexican wetbacks, whatever you want to call them, the coyotes, they're not going to do what they're doing now, so people aren't going to die in the desert,"

Looking forward to the pics - 1337d0Od, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15why are people digging this guy down, that movie is badass
- Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13I'm sure that sounded more clever in your head.
- kazamx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12you know we get it on Sky?
I remember watching that O'reily show once late at night and thinking it was a great satire. I had never heard of Fox other than in the Simpsons and thought it was a comedy network. I was horrified when I went online and found out this is what many Amricans think is news. - barc0001, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Because Fox tells everyone constantly that they DON'T have a bias. They're a news organization who says they have no bias "We report, you decide" and "Fair and Balanced". Sound familiar? But they do have a bias, and that makes them LIARS. And if they LIE about something so fundamental, how can we believe them about anything? And when they are caught posting more LIES on Wikipedia, and erasing things that are true about them, but cast them in a negative light, it's just further proof that they're bastards and you can't trust a goddamn word they say. It's getting so bad with Faux News that if they had a report on water being wet, I'd get up and go to the kitchen sink for a second opinion.
- whiskeysquared, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14Anyone with an ounce of brain matter understands Fox News is nothing but a propaganda channel, full of idiot talking heads, spreading their vile, convoluted opinions to a fan base of wal-mart shopping, sweat pants wearing, chain smoking, backwoods jack asses. So here's the question: In this new age of movements, why hasn't every news making persona stopped accepting interviews at fox? Seriously, why would any self-respecting individual want to be seen on the same screen as some of these idiots? Sooner or later they're going to lose ad profits and because we know they're money whores, they'll have to change their game strategy. Just a thought.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Especially since it's actually pronounced like "phoe".
- jaxcs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Does this really answer anything? Are all opinions equal? Shouldn't opinions be based on facts and not themselves be part of the spin? There is a conscious effort to misinform you and you cheer it on.
- luther70, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Don't forget Pro Life. Unlike Romney and Guiliani. Heck he so pro life he wants a constitutional amendment to define life and personhood at conception.
- h3llscaper, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Did you really just use "diggeral" in a serious manner?
- EugineMW, on 10/10/2007, -5/+13I myself loved to watch Fox News. Thanks to you Digg, I have lost all thrust in this news network. I'll get all my news online from now on.
- tblasko, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I see what you did there
- Bahimiron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Man, you're not supposed to capitalize alan combes name. In a Gorean BDSM relationship, only the dom or the 'master', in this case Sean Hannity, gets to capitalize his name. As property, alan does not get that right.
- nickmv, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10WOW, just......WOW......I hope CNN or some other network reports about FNC reporting that after editing wikipedia themselves. What a bunch of *****
- hipnerd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Who on Fox isn't hosting an opinion show? Every major "personality" they have is an administration apologist. John Gibson, Britt Hume, Chris Wallace -- all of them.
Give me the name of one "fair and balanced" journalist on Fox. - goldpress, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Honestly, I've never claimed that any news network was perfect. All are tilted a little. Fox News tilted so far to the right that they fell off their rocker years ago. And before you claim left wing bias, I'm very independent. I've voted both ways in the past. I voted for Bush in the past - which shows we all make mistakes. It simply comes down to the fact that you get nothing for watching anything that is far right or far left on any view point. Wasn't fair and balanced one of the Fox News trademarks? You don't ever have balance when you're only standing with one leg of your body.
- ThePixelator, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10yeah, since we all know digging something to the front page will actually make a difference...
- RlAA, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Uploaded it to youtube in case anyone wants it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee3tUnuTAsk - maddhopps10, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13I tune in for the Half Hour News Hour and stay for Greta van Susteren's lovely smile.
I'm also curious to see whether conservatives will EVER have a reasonable argument for being pro-Bush, pro-Oil, or pro-Terrorism (which is inherent in being pro-Bush or pro-Oil). - ubuntuedgy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I used to watch it, but it has been about 1.5 to 2 years since I have turned it on. I came to my senses. They truly disgust me now.
- StrangeFamous, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7That's what they want you to think.. that there's an invisible line between everyone and you HAVE to choose a side.
This is nothing more than a method to divide the country even further. It prevents reasonable politicians from being elected, because when it's "us vs. them" nobody wants to compromise or negotiate any more. You have to take a severe stance on every single controversial issue if you truly want to get nominated.
It's all about waging political war against the other side, instead of helping the country grow and evolve it's laws and legislation.
I agree that it's important to get a well-rounded view of the news, but nowadays everything's so clouded by the idea of "taking sides" that there is very little news left that isn't designed to sway the public's opinion one way or another, regardless of whether or not the news is accurate. - ReturnToFreedom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Hmm, for some reason OHaloThar has mysteriously stopped responding to comments. Hmm, I wonder why?
- netkid91, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Nice joke, but fox and faux are pronounced differently....kinda ruining it...
/Useless post - BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7While I won't defend either side of the MSM, your viewpoint looks to be an us VS them viewpoint. Your Pro-American / Anti-American labels are completely wrong. How about Pro-Reality VS Lies or Spin? You have to check several sources of information and then decide for yourself.
But let me get back to your Pro-American / Anti-American labels. I read that to mean that anyone showing dissent is anti-American in your eyes. That is classic authority worship. Read some history of our Founding Fathers. I'm pretty sure you can't call them anti-American. They were all about dissent. Look into it. - labmouse42, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Why do the FOX fanatics always bring up CNN in their defense of republican bias?
- diggbot7, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Both sides to what?? Realty and... fantasy?
- labmouse42, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Hey boss, there is more than just CNN and FOX. I know its a stretch to go outside the black and white world, but have you ever heard of the BBC or any other news sources?
