For university I have been writing a report on reporting restrictions through television broadcasts with regards to the laws of defamation*.

Anyway I was doing some research on Fox news. Having watched outfoxed before I was aware Fox has done some dodgy broadcasting in their time. But I ended up reading about what laws they have breached and then I started looking at some of these broadcasts on youtube and they really are just bad reporters. They are scare mongering facists, who oppose any liberal views whatsoever.

I'm sure they only represent the views of a small number of people, including Rupert 'wankstain' Murdoch, but it is still a news corportion that just see themselves as abov e the law and above the truth.

Anyway, enough with the procrastination, I have another 3000 words to write

*Don't ask me why I'm doing this, because it has very little to do with television technology. It's just there to add content to the law module of my course.

Apparently even Murdoch is embarrassed by Fox News's extreme right wing agenda. Amusing considering every single one, EVERY ONE, of his newspaper and media outlets supported the Iraq war invasion. Not to mention the out right denial of the existence of climate change and all that other shit.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

We (UK) have Sky News, which is run by the same company as Fox News. They present a pretty neutral point of view, and their faults stem from being just generally inferior to the BBC.

I think Fox News isn't biased because of Murdoch's views (though he is evil), I think it's because there is demand for such a TV channel, i.e it sells.
