Forums - General - Fox News still has an agenda against Ron Paul...

MSNBC decided it would get ratings by attacking Fox News from the left.  CNN was the first to jump into the 24 hour news, then Fox comes along, then MSNBC hits, and struggles, so they decide to spin from the left.  In all this, when a network is know to have an agenda and is biased (Fox is that) it is hard to tell when they make a legitimate mistake or one spun from an agenda.

On this note, anyone want want to show ANY blunders Fox News had that would be considered favoring a liberal perspective?  I don't mean here attacks against libertarian or paleoconservative the way they have with Ron Paul, but one that say had listed a Democrat as a Republican that was in a scandal (they did the opposite with Foley),  ot others.  If someone can't show ANY, what does that say?  So, there is the challenge.  Go and find ONE.

Doesn't really help get out the vote if Republicans think their own guy is a democrat.


I doubt you'll find many Republicans attacking Fox news for dumb graphic mistakes like this though.

Fairly harmless, but absurd.  So, am I supposed to reach a conclusion that Fox hires monkeys to put together their news programming?

I would reach the conclusion that "in 24/7 news it's extremly common to make mistakes because most of the time you are responding to new stuff, have strict deadlines because you need those graphics 24/7" myself.

Since it happens EVERYWHERE and not Fox news.  It's just Fox News is the only one people usually make a big deal about because they want to "nail" them.



Every cable news channel has an agenda,not just fox news. Fox news seems to get the most attention,because people can't stand the fact that they destroy the competition in the ratings.

I'm not here to defend Fox News, richard, nor to talk about their general sloppiness or bias. I said precisely what I meant to say: Fox News using a wrong bit of footage does not constitute slam dunk proof of a conspiracy against Ron Paul. If you'll notice, all talking heads across the political spectrum fucking hate Ron Paul unless they can get him to go off about whatever it is they want him to go off about (spending if you're conservative, war if you're a liberal). The fact remains that FNC and FBN are the friendliest networks to Paul by a long, long ways.

And quit calling me "Badger" you goddamn illiterate! ARRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


To be fair though basically EVERY buisness show is "All Ron Paul all the Time."  According to basically EVERY buisness expert who's job it is to make people money, instead of "Paid political pundit to promote a parties fiscal plan" generally agree "Ron Paul like strategies = good for the economy."

Heck, it's even there opinion before they decide to go all partisian, like early Krugman.  That's why it's stupid we never actually try some of this stuff out and instead keep going with the same failed old keynsian economics that most modern keynyian's don't even believe in anymore.

Why aren't they being sued for doctored videos?

Austrian economics has made a bit a comeback after the financial meltdown.  It does explain the bubbles we have had.  Because of this, Ron Paul fits well in the mix.  Ron Paul seems to get play in a lot of spot, particularly among liberal leaning political talking heads in the media.
