What's a tea party ?

Republicans and conservatives protesting the government for ruining America led by Republican politicians and Fox News (Fair and balanced).

A lot of these people didn't protest about Bush wasting money on Iraq and creating more big government than Clinton and bailing out the banks, but now they remembered to protest and Fox remembered that it was 'fiscally conservative'.

That's a real screw job isn't it. Fox being "Fair and balanced" pisses me off. You get people quoting Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly and then saying that it is a fair and balanced opinion because Fox says so. But it's really not and that escapes some people, it is about as biased as news stations can get and just because they say it isn't doesn't make it so.

As I said earlier, some people don't know why they're angry, they just are because they have been told they should be. I reckon half of those people wouldn't exist without Rupert Murdoch.

"Fox just says their not biased...but i say they are...so clearly i am rite!....look at these opinion shows they have on the air...see how they give their opinions??!? PROOF fox is teh most biased!"

Long live the meme...may it never die, may it never meet logic it cannot defy, and may it always be a trusty fallback non-argument!

Seriously...its beyond ridiculous that people still buy into this at this point.....it is pure blinding bias on your part that convinces you fox is worse.  You disagree with them more than any other network and so you view them as the biggest example of bias.  All of the networks are terrible, and none of them is discernably better or worse than the others. Period.


Is my grammar really that bad?


I didn't havea go at any other networks correct. What do you want me to do draw up a long list of all the networks and periodically discuss their bias? Especially when replying to a post about about Fox. Come on.


Now if you look at my statement I said I didn't like Fox news because it says it is "Fair and balanced", you don't need to be a genius to see that is a lie. Fox news lie to the right, that is clear as day. What gets to me is why does it have to have the slogan "fair and balanced" when it is a complete lie? Why not something honest like "Protecting conservative values" or "The best source for right wings news".


The real truth is that I wouldn't have a much a problem if it was open and honest about being right wing. But it's not.


I mean it's clear they are right wing. I mean they have right wing journalists like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly to gain a right wing a vantage point. Do all news companies do that? Of course they do. I'm not a complete idiot like most people think, I do know that. Why do they do it? Because neutral news doesn't sell as well, all news is biased. But most News companies don't go on a trip about being neutral when they are not.


I'm not going to lie, your post has actually really annoyed me.
