When will FOX News actually begin reporting the news instead of promoting political agendas? Thats a rhetorical question. It amazes me that FOX News Corp. believes that it is the ONLY news channel reporting the news, and calling every other mode of the press out there "the Mainstream Media" or the "liberal media". In the beginning of radio and television news reporting, the press had the respect and confidence of the masses. People looked to people like Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite for the news and respected and valued their factual news reporting. At what point in history did ALL of the media become liberal and FOX News was the ONLY news outlet that reported the TRUE news? I can tell you when: NEVER.
FOX News reports about 40% news and 60% propaganda (the numbers are arbitrary, don't jump down my throat). Never has divisive propaganda been more evident than this latest stunt by FOX in their full page ad in the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post claiming that they were the ONLY news organization that covered the Tea Party 9/12 event in Washington D.C. This was clearly not true at all and the legitimate news organizations accused of being biased for the left are pissed off about it! ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said the ad was "just false" and that ABC has "a real problem with the Washington Post accepting an ad like this. CBS said it had "multiple crews" at the rally and made it the lead story on the "CBS Evening News." CBS Radio News offered hourly reports and CBSNews.com had the story in its rotating lead throughout the day, the network said. NBC declined comment but noted that NBC News had crews on the mall and the event led "NBC Nightly News" on Saturday and was covered on "Today" Sunday morning. MSNBC also covered the story with live reports throughout the day, the network said."
It's amazing to me that there are actually people out there who believe that this pseudo news organization actually reports the news without bias and is Fair and Balanced.
