No, you're successfully misunderstanding me yet again. Some years ago Christopher Hitchens had to point out that Bush jokes had become a thing that stupid people laugh at. Similarly, Fox News is the go to for lazy leftish people to point out biased media. For them, biased journalism begins and ends with Fox News. The truth is that what really drives these people Fox News is not that it's biased or even bad, but that it's biased from the wrong direction. Meanwhile, they ignore that the rest of the media tends to be biased in their favor. And if we are very charitable (not to mention gullible) and say that the media at large is merely inept and not actively biased, they ignore the fact that this media negligence always seems to conveniently works to the left's advantage. |
You didn't stop to think for a moment that the reason why Fox is singled out as biased is because they are the ones who willingly tweak the system based on a political agenda? In fact, it should be renamed to "The Republican free time no questions asked" channel. That is why Fox is always questioned as a valid news source, because they bring idiots with radical ideas on and never bother to question it. They just sit in the background and let these loons broadcast their bullshit over the airwaves.
You didnt stop to think that maybe Romney is copping more flak because he has shown more flaws than other candidates? Then you have the conservatives jumping up and down exclaiming "That's not fair! You need to equally abuse them". BULLSHIT! If Obama has weaknesses, let them be heard too, but I'm sick of hearing this same rhetoric from conservatives that they don't want to be questioned, or open to criticism. Then as soon as they're criticised, oh it MUST be liberal bias. For gods sake...
