50 FOX News Lies in Six Seconds...

Why pick just one?

Is the network a source of sound journalism? Or not? If these claims that are brought forward by Stewart a distortion of the network itself, then shouldn't ALL of the claims be distortions, or at least MOST?

For the record, I get my news (NEWS, not commentary) from C-SPAN. The cable news networks IMO are nothing for me to rely on that are factual at all.

That includes FOX.

What? Me worry?

Can't do it? BTW didn't Stewart mention his retiring to a Zen monastery in his rant? Don't you think that's a lie, or is Jon Stewart simply a comedian that would say anything for a laugh?

Is this factual that there is no good data?

If we're going to play this "pick one" BS, then how about this one: "Cash for Clunkers will give government complete access to your home computer." -- July 31, 2009.

That is the key. Jon Stewart is a comedian first and foremost, he has admitted his bias against Republicans, he has admitted things are edited, and he is on a channel called "Comedy Central." Though he may call out Fox News for lies, he himself does not masquerade as a real news anchor giving real and unbiased news.

I find it interesting that no one wants to touch this post. I'm still waiting.
Cause they know fox makes stuff up. Or they'll say something like MSDNC lies also. False equivalence entirely! No one come close to fox in the misinformation realm.

So, where do you get your news from? Can't be the printed news because it says the same thing as the TV news source do. Or do you just remain ignorant?

Online, of course, but I remain ignorant of many, many things I'm sure.

But you know, this almost goes hand in hand with being a conservative. Conservatism thrives on deception, exaggeration, fabrication, falsification, hyperbole, vilification, prevarication, and guile. Not to make a case for itself, which rarely happens, but a case against its opposition. It's just like creationism, which can't make a case for itself so must resort to attacking evolution. It's a political and social philosophy of the intellectually bankrupt.

With RW media, they leave information out. RW media never mentions positive things that democrats do. RW media never mentions negative things that republicans do. So the RW media audience is left in the dark intentionally.
