It just keeps on coming--Fox spin--This is how they do it


Posted: Dec 15, 2010

A top Fox News editor sent an email to staffers and journalists questioning the science behind global warming and directing them to always point out on air that the theory has its skeptics.

I might have taken your post seriously if your source wasn't the Huffington Post which is as UBER-left as the DailyKos, maybe more so. LOL. How ridiculous.

Fox not covering it--so it must not be true. - nm

Good one, GOPmt. Gets my blood boiling (:

Calculated corporate policy of slant - another recent example

regarding health care. see link.

They may "lean" conservative, however... - they still present both sides...

[ In Reply To ..]
quite unlike MSNBC, CNN, and the major broadcast networks.

When has MSNBC or CNN not represented both sides? - Example please?

Watch them. - nm

Geez! You have to be kidding me!! - There ARE skeptics!

[ In Reply To ..]
That is NOT spin.

Fox is the ONLY news channel that purports to be balanced and they are making sure that BOTH sides are presented.

Freedom of speech.....ever heard of it??

They are free to lie and distort as much as they want - but should not call themselves "news"

The Huffington Post, of course, is not biased - to any degree

[ In Reply To ..]
Remember about half of America is conservative. They don't see the bias in Fox News, just as some liberals don't see the bias in Huffington Post, CNN, MSNBC.

I personally feel like when I watch those stations I am having things shoved down my throat that I just do not agree with, so I don't.
As a general rule, when Fox .... - has a...

Repub/conservative on they also have a rebuttal by a Dem/liberal, and most usually in a split screen so you can see all the facial expressions of both. You do not see both sides presented as much on any other station, and Fox will report some things that CNN or MSNBC will not carry or will bury. It is the ONLY news channel that leans conservative. And there is nothing wrong with leaning...the others lean WAYYYY left.
What I have seen is that liberals do not get - equal time or are berated on Fox
[ In Reply To ..]
They purposefully mismatch the con and lib side. Worst example was Hannity and Combs.
And MSNBC does not do this....come on! - LOL
[ In Reply To ..]
If Olbermann or Matthews have a Repub/conservative on, I see MUCH worse berating, belitting, basically smart-A condescending tirades.

I disagree about Hannity and Colmes. I liked Colmes. He was a liberal but he stuck to issues and didn't engage in that name calling condescending stuff that his liberal counterparts (like matthews and olbermann) tend to do. Which made it much easier to listen to him. He tended to be able to explain why he believed what he believed without the condescending schtick.
Oh, I liked Colmes--it was so irritating to have - Hannity condescend and cut him off.
[ In Reply To ..]
And Colmes always missed key points in discussion--I guess you wouldn't know this if you didn't know what was missed.
Which is why I spend very little time watching... - that kind of thing on ANY
[ In Reply To ..]
TV network and do internet searches. And the thing I always find is that no matter what the issue, there are always two sides. The thing is...most people look at their party's take on it and there the information stops...and that is a very dangerous thing. A lot of people woke up before the midterms. It is not going to be as easy to flummox people going forward...be they Repub, Dem, or Independent.

Thank GOODNESS!!!!
Like they do on MSNBC? - Backwards Typist

I've seen enough of Matthews, Rachel, Olberman, and now including ED SHULTZ who are #1 for berating pubs and conservatives. Not once have I ever seen pub and dem face off on their programs. They must do it on the days I don't watch. ED SHULTZ would NEVER have a show giving both sides. He hates the pubs and conservatives so much and I wish he'd put his money where his mouth is on certain issues. We certainly wouldn't have such a high budget deficit if he did that.
Pubs refuse to go on anything but Fox - so they can control the message - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
Now how can they control the message if only... - Repubs/conservatives
[ In Reply To ..]
watch Fox? They would be preaching to the choir. The viewership of Fox is higher than any cable news outlet, probably because people get tired of the one-sided message on the others and are sick and tired of being spoon fed only what those outlets want them to hear.

Why would ANY Republican want to go on with Keith Olbermann? That's having to sit through a jr high bully rant and gets you nowhere. I realize that liberals seem to like that kind of thing and the more blood in the water the better, but that is generally more fun for the blood-letter than the bleeder, right?? Who can blame them for not wanting to go there. I sure wouldn't.
Fox is the only channel to give pubs exactly what they WANT to hear - get real - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
I watch them all, and I find Fox to lean to the right, but - to also give both/all sides for the most part.
[ In Reply To ..]
They get a bad rap, but mostly just hatred from the left, which is rather humorous since it is doing no good. The country is starting going back to the right.
And Dems what they DO NOT want to hear... - or enyone ELSE to hear.
[ In Reply To ..]
hate it when the truth gets out despite all you can do, doncha??
They have both sides PLUS the ultra conservative - host and then they (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]
gang up on the Republican and scream over his or her words. So it's basically a 2 to 1 game they play.

That has to be the most ridiculous thing I have - ever read...if not, close.

[ In Reply To ..]
next you will be telling me that MSNBC does not lie or distort. If the mainstream media was all we had, some things would NEVER be reported. They lie and distort, but they also attempt to control the message. Much like you are doing now.

Well, there ARE a lot of skeptics with global warming - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]
A lot of scientists don't believe it's true. An email pointing out skepticizm is no big deal but them that's not your opinion according to your "Why I Hate Fox" link/URL.

I certainly don't believe in global warming since I found out that not only has Gore made a fortune off the scare tactics, but that he is considered the biggest user of electricity in the country (or is that the world).

I didn't believe in global warming until I found out - that Exxon/others were paying to discredit it. nm

[ In Reply To ..]

Global warming, yeah, right. I could use some here - on OH.. one of coldest Decembers in history.nm

[ In Reply To ..]

...and what about the people getting rich - "crediting" it? lol

There's more proof that climate change is happening at the hand of man than there - is that God exists.
[ In Reply To ..]
Go figure.

Gee..the last time I checked...there are skeptics - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
So how is that spinning anything? At least they report that there are some who don't believe in global warming. Other networks merely report it as fact without mentioning there are some scientists who think it is a load of crap.

Also...the last time I checked where I live....temps are below normal for this time of year. You and Al Gore can both suck on that. Amazing how Gore has fooled so many people into believing his lies and he has make money hand over fist because of it.

Last Update: June 12, 2014 575 US troops died in Afghanistan during the Bush presidency. By August 18, 2010, following two troop surges initiated by President Obama, that number had doubled. Today, over 1500 US troops have died in Afghanistan since President Obama took office—and yet, little in that war-torn country has changed. These numbers should give us pause. While the Administration has publicly conceded that there is no military solution in Afghanistan, and claimed that it support ...
