Is FOX News Biased? [Archive] - Virtual Teen Forums

As much as I hate to agree with him, the Times is more liberal than Fox News is conservative. (Though that has no bearing on the study itself)

Just out of idle curiocity (and I'm not trying to refute you here), how do you know?

For the record Death (and everyone else), it is EXTREMELY bad etiquette to repost a PM without the consent of the sender. If you have a problem with a PM,

And usually that would matter, but the content of the PM itself was enough to make me not care about his consent. Besides, he did exactly the same thing to me.

I did.

EDIT: I just thought I should clarrify for anyone who hasn't seen this before that I didn't actually create this topic as such, but it was extracted out of another when a new, off-topic argument arose.

My school carries it, and it is better than nothing if you know how to read through the bias.

If he did it first and I overlooked it, I apologize for directing it at you. If he did it in response... well, once the other person does it, it's fair game.

What do you personally think about The Times then? Do you think its information is reliable compared to Fox News?

No. They aren't afraid to tell the truth and depict the news as it should be by presenting it in a fair and balanced nature. They wouldn't be allowed on the air if they weren't telling the truth.

This is actually a big debate here in Canada, since Fox News was banned from broadcasting here because you have to tell the truth if you claim to broadcast "news". Those laws, known as the Truth Doctrine, were lifted in the 1980s by Ronald Reagan. Since then, you can broadcast whatever you want and call it news. The actual news reporting on Fox News is pretty unbiased and fair, but the opinions are skewed WAY off to the right. And there's nothing wrong with that as long as they tell the truth, which they do except with Glenn Beck sometimes. Similarily, MSNBC has their opinions on the other side of the political spectrum, and they have every right to express their views as long as they tell the truth. Personally, I don't agree with some of what Fox News does, fundraising for the Republican Party unlike what MSNBC does, but they (unfortunately) have every right to do so

I personally don't agree much with the pope on this issue, but that's my own opinion. The government shouldn't ban gay marriage because they shouldn't regulate anything beyond a civil union. If they want to ban sodomy, I don't see a big issue with that as long as the same laws apply to homosexual AND heterosexual couples. I may not agree with those bans, but it's not my right to decide

It was rated M here, so you can't sell it to anybody under the age of 17. The BBFC has also certified Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to be sold to 15-year-olds, even though they found a mini-game where you have sex. I'm not a big fan of the way they rate games, but the BBFC is ridiculous in how little they censor them.

That holds true for some things, but not all. For instance, why the hell was Modern Warfare 2 and Far cry 2 rated 18s? They are far too tame compared to other 'real' 18s.

Look how quickly it takes him to interrupt the man speaking.

Fox News is a conservative Christian organization pumping bullshit into the viewers.

Why do I hate Bill O'Reilly? He never lets people talk. Always cutting everyone off and bullshit. It's just fucking stupid. Actually, he's allot like the people I debate with her on VT. They won't listen to a damn thing and say they win the debate just because of the false nothing they say. This man likes to blame musicians, games, and other entertainment for the problems of this world. He never just says maybe it's us. I really think this guy is a fucking troll at best. Especially on his report on lesbians here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g8VNUkIemw)

Of course if you're a Christian conservative you're not going to see anything wrong with Fox News. It's ok though. There's already been a study that says that most people that watch Fox are uninformed. You can read it here. (http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/pdf/dec10/Misinformation_Dec10_rpt.pdf) So who's to blame? The channel or the people? Maybe a little of both.

Also, there's lots of leaks on memos proving that Fox purposely tries to push the right wing agenda and also talk about Obama being some fascist evil bastard.

Here's what one of the leaked messages says -

Subject: friendly reminder: let's not slip back into calling it the "public option"

1) Please use the term "government-run health insurance" or, when brevity is a concern, "government option," whenever possible.

2) When it is necessary to use the term "public option" (which is, after all, firmly ensconced in the nation's lexicon), use the qualifier "so-called," as in "the so-called public option."

3) Here's another way to phrase it: "The public option, which is the government-run plan."

4) When newsmakers and sources use the term "public option" in our stories, there's not a lot we can do about it, since quotes are of course sacrosanct.

Then the vice president of Fox replies this!

Although this is true, the same goes for your ratings. You do realise that in the USA, Mass Effect which contains minimal violence (apart from the odd scene with stronger), a little infrequent language and one brief, undetailed sex scene is rated with the same rating that Fallout 3 is, which contains sexual references, strong language (you should have heard Dukov swearing in every sentence), and excessive violence and gore. That spells inconsistency to me.

I meant in the context of that two-person panel on Fox News

I watched more than the video though, I saw that there were more arguments form people outside it who were related to Fox News. I don't remmeber the site though since this was ages ago (and baring in mind bringing up this thread wasn't exactly my intention). but what I'm saying is that they have to have better things to argue about than games which obviously don't treat women as sex objects as doing so.

Oh, and since we're on the topic of Bill O'Rielly, who the hell actually likes that self-righteous tosser?

Every news broadcaster is biased in one way or another. It's virtually impossible to create a completely neutral view of what's going on in the world.

I suppose the closest thing we have here would be the Daily Mail which frequently publishes pure lies, but I'm from a family of diehard Labour voters and you should also see some of the bullshit printed in the left wing papers.

It's all crap, the newspapers and broadcasters will inevitably cater to their audience. Take the BBC for example, an entity which is legally required to be totally neutral politically. The Conservatives accuse them of being a bunch of reds and Labour accuse them of being right wing nuts.

The only way to get a clear picture is to take in all the different views and make your own mind up.

I find it disappointing – actually, incredibly disturbing – that we have to agree with the news. The news isn't made for agreeing. It's supposed to be the cold, harsh truth.

Of course, thanks to our ridiculously politicized society, everybody has to watch the news station that they agree with, rather than watching one that's actually just and fair in its coverage (like BBC News).

You can't really say that one network is more fair than another in its coverage. Each network, depending on who you ask, has some sort of bias it rides on. Obviously Fox News has a conservative bias, that's common knowledge. MSNBC is definitely clinging onto a liberal bias. CNN is a mixture of both, but often goes towards the liberal bias in most situations. I can't really say anything about networks like BBC or Aljazeera as I haven't really been accustomed to them or other news outlets. There will never really be a news outlet that is truly just and fair in its coverage. The powers that be will always have the final say in what is said, how it's said, and which side to take.

That is very true, it's not possible to be completely neutral – ever – but, still, news shouldn't be something we agree with. The news is supposed to present, more or less, facts. A little bias won't completely cloud the true story. However, when we get to the point where people watch news channels because they agree with them, rather than watching them for the information they provide – that's not right.

The only way to get 'balanced' news would be to watch competing networks and compare them. Of course, the flame-warring mudslingers that overdo it and label every company 'fascist' or 'communist' refuse to do so.

the bolded is not true. msnbc is definitely as biased leftwards as fox is rightwards. i happen to agree with msnbc more, but one cannot argue the relatively equal bias.

This is technically true. However, most people who get their news, don't get it from the actual news programs. They get it from The Daily show, The Colbert Report, The O'Reilly Factor, Sean Hannity, etc.

The actual news portions of broadcasting may be about equally biased, but the portions that people get the news from is much, much more biased. You could have a completely neutral reporting of events, but that doesn't matter if nobody watches it.

Only he knows that. You can't say he is just here to make money. Everyone in this country would like to make money, because it is what ensures your survival.

But since we are getting off topic, if you wish to continue this feel free to PM me.

I'm not off topic. Fox news is owned by news Corp and news Corp is owned by rupert murdoch who is the person we are talking about.

Anyway, back to the point of england and fox news. News corp, the company that owns fox is from England so there is a connection to fox news and england.
So death has every right to talk about fox news.

Actually, they were founded in Australia and headquartered in New York so they're pretty international. But yes, look around and you'll find they own and operate at least one major news outlet in just about every western nation.
