FOX News Is Tilted Toward Clumsy - Horse Racing Forum - PaceAdvantage.Com

NJ Stinks · 03-01-2010, 05:20 PM

46zilzal raised an interesting point in another thread - namely, that FOX News is pathetic - although I will claim credit for using the word 'pathetic'. And 46zilzal posted a link to memos that show how fair & balanced FOX News really is not.

ONE news source kept this malarkey up for months when a young lady disappeared in the Caribbean some where.

Here are the memos:

Bigmack suggested 46zilzil start a new thread. So I'm starting it here. Below is Bigmack's defense of the FOX memos (I guess

):

Equally, you're an expert on the economy after have seen Capitalism from Michael Moore. I'll send you pamphlets of all sorts of topics. You'll become an authority on a boatload of subjects.

Do you ever ask who makes these films? OutFoxed was from Barry Greenwald. Let's look at his other films

His agenda looks much like yours.

We get it, you watched a 75 minute movie. Start a thread and tell us all about it.

Notice how Bigmack hasn't figured out yet how to defend the FOX memos themselves. But I'm sure he will soon enough.

Hey, Frick 'n' Frack: What makes you think the other news stations don't have their agendas and follow similar procedures?

You're speaking for me? Big mistake.

Look Chucky, that thread was about a missing girl not about 6 year old memos. I'll leave that to brainiacs like you & zilly. If you work hard you might be able to blow the lid off that story. Not as if the umpteen other times zilly has brought it up and started threads about it have made a hill o' beans difference.

Knock yourself out.

Stay out of putting words in my mouth. Got me?

ArlJim78 · 03-01-2010, 05:49 PM

a mediamatters hit piece from 2004 is your smoking gun? this thread reeks of desperation.

boxcar · 03-01-2010, 05:50 PM

And I would only add to Bigmack's remarks: Whatever it is FNC is doing, they doing it RIGHT (perhaps in more ways than one

) because...they're eating all their competitors' lunches. They are Number UNO. And that really frosts you fellas, doesn't it?

Lots of people don't like hearing about how corporations screw the public.

Greenwald has simply exposed some of the abusers.

Tom · 03-01-2010, 06:56 PM

Six year old memos.
Sounds like it isn't FOX that is tilted towards clumsy.

Putting your own words in your own mouth you said: Start a thread and tell us all about it.

So I started a new thread. And pasted everything you said about 46zilzal's post.

Now you are crying that I put words in your mouth. You are one amazing guy, Mack.

I posted the filmography of the guy that produced OutFoxed. You then wrote:

I don't give a rats ass about memos, yet you portray me defending memos?

Buzz off and know that you're wrong here. After your apology to me I'll let you get back to this riveting topic.

Aren't you the guy who says FOX News is the only news station you can trust? How do you defend this part of the memo about Kerry?

Kerry is running for president and Moody and FOX News are trying to bury him. Fair and balanced?

'Nothing But Propaganda' is a motto I can believe in.

How is an observation about Kerry and his medals, and observation that turns out to be correct, evidense of a bias?

Your statement on FNC's ratings got me thinking about the TV biz. If one was planning on starting a news based station, and wanted the highest possible rating (in turn, profits), how would they position themselves? It would seem to me that research would tell them what demographic was most prone to watching television, and then target them. So, FNC came into being and is successful because of a large block of the population fit their criteria, and there is no other outlet, at least mainstream, that appeals to that block of folks.

I watch FNC some in the morning, and I like them in small doses, but I do get sick of the light-haired guy telling me how outraged I will be by whatever story he is gonna show me right after a commercial break.

BTW, if you are #1, you are mainstream media.

Not necessarily. When all the other media outlets all think along the same lines, they are just an alternative. According to IBD in a recent survey of media members, 85% considered themselves progressives.

85 % of citizens think that they have an above average sense of humor.
