HTT: Fox News, 'fair and balanced' or not?

LOL

 

i think the Reza Aslan interview pretty much states my case.  well to be honest, this is probably one of about a million things fox news does that reiterates they are anything but. lolz

Not. I'll agree to an extent that most news outlets are not 100% unbiased, but Fox takes it above and beyond. They don't even try to hide it.

I saw that interview, lady wasn't even attempting to listen. But I feel that way about most of their reporting. Dude handled himself really well, esp since the reporter only seemed yo want to attack him.

Though, I remeber some really shoddy reporting by cnn and msnbc over the two teenagers with "promising football careers" who raped a teenage girl.

They are all pretty brutal...Fox is the worst.  I usually stick with BBC news or NPR

Wasn't NBC the ones that edited then Zimmerman/Trayvon 911 call and got caught. No one ever brings it up or thinks of them as unreliable now. Funny how that works.

I don't take any news station seriously.

Took the words right out of my mouth... Anything on TV is for entertainment, not for informing the public.

Fox News is awhul. It is all my parents watch and it drives me nuts.

I think all news channels need to be watched with caution.

I get all my news from the Daily Show. Need some eye candy when I hear bad news.

Just went and watched the interview. All I have to say is poor guy, she really wasn't a good journalist. Glad he called her out on it.

Yup. Fox news is out of control. It comes on right before TMZ and I think the 2 mins of news I catch rots my brain more than the celebrity gossip.
