"We'll be back next week with a new journal, unless we've been bought out" - lucutus, on 01/12/2008, -3/+102This is why I donate to PBS. Anyone who feels this type of reporting is valued should support thier local PBS station!
- masterm1nd, on 01/12/2008, -5/+67You cannot trust MSM these days.

- agsinger, on 01/12/2008, -11/+62mass media is dead/dying anyway - media reporting is becoming democratized due to the web anyway
the big media dinosaurs are sources of info only to the older generation - the younger generation, our generation, doesn't buy it...at least i don't - skews13, on 01/12/2008, -5/+46keep your grubby little fingers off of my pbs
- inactive, on 01/12/2008, -6/+42Bill Moyers should be made a saint.
- inactive, on 01/12/2008, -8/+37Ah the optimism of youth... Mass media is buying your free news source and lobbying to impose laws on it. And in any case, this generation isn't able to:
Evaluate the quality of information
Evaluate the source of information
Evaluate the validity of information
Identify fallacious arguments within the information
The younger generation is buying it, by the bucket. The only difference is that you're not even aware of it. There isn't just one side trying to control the information you know... - getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -7/+32You get off on spelling BOOBS with a calculator don't you, badwithcomputer?
- PHiZ187, on 01/12/2008, -3/+26And PBS (Seasame Street) wouldn't exist without government subsidy, because it just isn't profitable in the free market. We see what is profitable, the MSM crap that has evolved through competition. Pandering, biased, uninforming crap. The free market FTW!
- Look4Truth, on 01/12/2008, -6/+28Fix News...we distort, we deride.
- Kishoba, on 01/12/2008, -2/+20I haven't been able to find any coverage of much of Fox News' recent activities. Does anybody know of any articles by major news outlets reporting on some of this? (for example cutting out Ron Paul's response to the electability question from the debate)
- ThE0eNiGmA, on 01/12/2008, -4/+22I don't get it. One day you are trying to put up an open letter to the Digg community about it's negativity, and then you post something as stupid as this.
- metapop, on 01/12/2008, -0/+17MSM, particularly fox news's relationship with megacorps is no different than gov't run communist media's relationship is to their dictator.
- nathanaver, on 01/12/2008, -2/+17Is it a coincidence that PBS and NPR's government subsidy was cut 25% this year? They are a threat to these people so they are the next target. I am generally a fan of small government, but if I were going to start cutting things PBS would be very very low on my list.

I haven't seen one around here for ages.
- metapop, on 01/12/2008, -1/+13don't be an idiot, jetboy. ron paul was not mentioned once in the video, but your own response was proof enough that ron paul is being targeted by fox- why else would you have brought it up? the video didn't, and at the time of posting, only one comment had ron paul's name in it. it's obvious that fox targets ron paul, and you know it.
- deathguppie, on 01/12/2008, -4/+14never forget the great work done by NPR http://www.npr.org/
you may not always agree with what you see, but they will always show all sides of a story, no matter how bizarre, their points of view. The have reporters all over the world and are not beholden to any company for money. - YoWaldorf, on 01/12/2008, -0/+8If there is ever a time you can do good, it would be now, here, and with this. Send this to everyone you know.
- Magnolit, on 01/12/2008, -4/+11Immature kid.
- Schneckehaus, on 01/12/2008, -0/+7True matter.
Mainstream might as well mean "agenda populist" these days. We've got nothing but bias on both the liberal and conservative sides, and the irony of it is, they play the game is if there are only two sides to any argument.
One can quite easily be neither liberal or conservative, democrat or republican.
***** the bifurcated bias of our media. - d03boy, on 01/12/2008, -1/+8Trying to get the message out that Fox news is corrupt and sways the elections drastically...
- SeekerDarksteel, on 01/12/2008, -5/+11Unfortunately, it isn't the government's job to protect us from our own stupidity. If people are dumb enough to watch and accept MSM as real news then it's their own damn fault. It sucks for the rest of us, but it is not the job of government to create utopia.
- inactive, on 01/13/2008, -0/+6America a democracy? my ass
- metapop, on 01/12/2008, -3/+9says the man with the simpsons avatar
... - airwalkery2k, on 01/12/2008, -1/+7Independent thoughts require independent people. I hate to be cynical, but I certainly don't see either coming from the majority of my generation.
- PHiZ187, on 01/12/2008, -3/+9Why not? If the mission of a democracy is to sustain itself, what is wrong with ensuring an informed electorate? Especially when the interests of corporations run contrary to a free society.
- Magnolit, on 01/12/2008, -2/+8Moyers should run for Congress as an Independent and than report daily from Capitol Hill and expose the ***** up there.
- imnojezus, on 01/12/2008, -3/+8And aside from the arguments above, guess who typically votes in much higher percentages. That older generation you mentioned takes the information that is fed to them and goes to the polls while our generation sits around and whines about it. I'd be more active if I were you. Don't be so quick to brush it off.
- Notasheeple, on 01/12/2008, -3/+8Grow a real pair buddy..............There is blatant discrimination of RP!
- cprnow, on 01/12/2008, -0/+5I came back here to see the video with the edited RP question during the debate, which had over 4000 diggs just an hour or two ago, and it is gone! Am I making some sort of noob mistake, or did it happen again, cuz I had read on comments that it had disappeared before that one appeared? wtf.
So, has anyone read 1984 by Orwell? I thought that was supposed to be fiction. - lucutus, on 01/12/2008, -0/+5Even the Reuters story seems biased. The headline is promising but then the story says nothing of his responses in the most recent debate, rather talks about his blimp and some of the nast questions posed with nothing about his response. http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/01/11/republ ...
- inactive, on 01/12/2008, -2/+7Exactly! People shouldn't be able to use their property as they please -- they should be regulated and censored by the Gov't, we can trust them / they don't have the evil lure of money, just justice, truth, and standing up for the common man.
{overt facetiousness} - angrygalactus, on 01/12/2008, -0/+5What Murdoch has isn't privatization, but corporatism, where the corporations are in bed with big government.
- inactive, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5So what ... those tags are supposed to get the video viewed - I often see videos tagged with Britney Spears, or the infamous YouTube thumbnail baiting. It's irrelevant.
- Jimmerz, on 01/12/2008, -4/+8Judging by this post, you are a pube without pubes.
- tetrismasterJ, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5This type of activity is everywhere. Don't think it's not happening on the internet. The only way is to educate children in school that not everything they watch or read is true. Sadly they rarely teach you that in grade school. Then they go on to university and still haven't develop an independent thinking of what's what.
- inactive, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5Not true ... the govt controls who gets the to use the airwaves to broadcast, and corporations fund the programming they want. If you want to see free market journalism in action you have to look no further than the web. Digg and YouTube reflect true free market viewing habits of people. The MSM is nothing more than a propaganda arm for corporations and the government.
- metapop, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5did you even watch the S.C. debate? this clip was removed from later broadcasts- even fox thought it was over the top. i'm sure you and everyone else has seen this by now, but just in case:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Cucn32Eja3c
based on that clip, and carl cameron's blatant rudeness and complete lack of journalism- how can you suggest fox isn't biased against ron paul... even if you hate ron paul (though i can't understand why anyone would hate him aside from bureaucrats who will surely lose their jobs when he is elected), are you really lying to yourself to that extent? - Rohhob, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5Exactly. In the long run you'll help more people by opening their eyes to what's really going on in the world and forcing people to see the reality of what their country has become than to send it to some organization like "save the rain forest."
If you're going to donate, seriously look into PBS - it's the only true people's voiced network. - Dibou, on 01/12/2008, -0/+4People on Digg are dying to jump on Fox News over Ron Paul.
The real question is how much coverage does Ron Paul get on ABC, MSNBC, etc? - tyywebb, on 01/12/2008, -4/+8First off you are a ***** moron. Second off he's not talking about liberal vs. conservative he is talking about $$ vs. truth.
- Dibou, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5Then how would you know anything about them....
Oh, right. You are TOLD they suck by their competitors.
You just admitted your ignorance. - mochaman, on 01/12/2008, -0/+4If MSM continues to consolidate and control elections the way it has for the past 20 some odd years, our democracy will be and we will all be screwed.
- stretch611, on 01/12/2008, -0/+4No one wants to cover it, they want to emulate it. Seriously, If they start snooping around fox, eventually they will be snooped around and none of them want that.
- SiNN4R, on 01/12/2008, -1/+4The people's broadcasting station.
- evilpoptart, on 01/12/2008, -0/+3NPR is the *****.
- lucutus, on 01/12/2008, -1/+4Sounds like someone let thier blinders slip off at the wrong moment. If you love fox news so much why are you here? There's got to be some new Clinton story on fox.com
