Argus Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) 1. The attack on Benghazi is the most important story since the birth of Christ. Day in and day out new and shocking information arises about how that horrible Black Muslim president Barrack Hussein Obama (who probably isn't even an American!) let four brave white American soldiers die, murdered by his evil African Islamist brethren!2. Government is bad. Everything government does is bad. Everyone who works for government is bad (except the guys with guns). They're lazy, stupid, incompetent, and a drag on the American people. If only there were no government (except for the military and police) America would be a paradise of freedom and wealth and happiness. The only reason there are taxes, which are by far the highest in the world, is to support these lazy, shiftless, unionized government workers. We should eliminate all taxes except for what's needed to pay for the guys with guns.3. Unions are evil job destroying institutions run by corrupt socialists and communists to destroy the American businessman. Their selfishness is without limits, and their members are lazy and stupid and incompetent, only holding onto their jobs because of graft and the threats made by their unions.4. Poor people, are poor because they're lazy and shiftless and only want to leach off other people. The kindest thing you can do is give them nothing so they'll pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Not that you should care what happens to them. Most of them are minorities, and most of THEM aren't real Americans anyway.5. Guns are a gift from God and all true Americans love them. The only people who don't like guns are liberals, who are mostly gutless terrorist sympathisers and welfare leaches anyway, and probably belong to unions.6. We should all love and admire the wealthy. They spend most of their hard-working days trying to create jobs for regular Americans, and the rest of the time generously donating their money to so many worthy causes. Taxing them is a repudatiation of all that is good about America, and threatens jobs. It's a Communist idea! 7. Obamacare is a plot to destroy America's health care system, which is the envy of the entire world. It will result in most Americans being unable to afford health care services so that poor people, disgusting, horrible leaches that they are, can get more of it.

Argus Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 This is satire right? K, now do MSNBC! Lol. MSNBC is certainly biased. But it's not as relentless, or as brainless and superficial. And to be fair, it's not really an all-news station like FOX. Much of their air time is given over to weird detective, courtroom and sex slave shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Derek L Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 So just what is this analysis based on? Don't sit there and tell me you've been watching Fox at least 3 hours a day for the last year. Exactly……frankly I think many of those that dump upon the network have never actually watched it (Most Canadian services you have to pay extra for it) aside from edited clips online etc……..There are certainly hosts, personalities and guests of a right wing bias, but likewise there are those from the other side of the spectrum like Juan Williams, Alan Colmes, Joe Trippie, Dennis Kucinich, Bob Beckel etc……Their News Division’s coverage of live/special events (where CNN was about 15-20 years ago) etc, coupled with The Factor and FNS are why their ratings dwarf MSNBC, CNN and the networks combined……..Not the likes of Sean Hannity or Mike Huckabeee….. For news and current events I watch Fox and CBC…..I think the rest of the North American network/cable news coverage is crap….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the week I normally have CBC on in the background most of the day until Bret Baier comes on, followed by Greta then The Factor......then catch one of the rebroadcasts of the National before bed......Then FNS every Sunday.

Yes...it is strange how some Canadians present themselves here as experts on Fox News Channel. They would have to purchase the service to have such an in depth understanding. I guess Americans are experts concerning the goverment sponsored and controlled CBC as well ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not only Canadians, but also many Americans too…….There are certainly the Sean Hannity, Palin and Coulter types etc expressing the far right/Tea Party meme, but they’re far outweighed by the credible Chris Wallace, Brent Hume, Charles Krauthammer, Juan Williams, Lou Dobbs, George Will, Liz Cheney, Joe Trippie etc types…..

Argus Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Complete nonsense. Regardless, you don't watch them or Fox News. You're the NSA? You have my TV bugged to know what I'm watching? I know this is hard for you, Shady. You've been told FOX is a conservative news channel, and have come to believe they will tell you what you need to think as a conservative. The truth is, though, FOX is more of a corporate propoganda channel. It's only conservative in bits and pieces, and only by coincidence.

Don't sit there and tell me you've been watching Fox at least 3 hours a day for the last year. I'm not that much of a masochist. It's based on the fact all the news channels are around the same area on my dial and I'm a big channel hopper, so I bounce back and forth every morning and every evening when eating breakfast and dinner. I watch RTI and SUN news sometimes too, but SUN is, to be honest, just too boring, and RTI has crazier people on it than FOX. Though some of its coverage is actually more honest than FOX.

C'mon. FOX makes no bones about what they are, really. Rupert Murdoch, when he built the thing, made no bones about what it was for. Really, Derek. I have NEVER seen a news story that was in any way complimentary of ANY Democrat, that was in any way complimentary of any government agency or department. I have never seen a FOX story that involved management labour relations, strikes disputes, etc., which didn't fully support management. I have never seen a story about welfare or food stamps or any other government support for the poor which didn't portray them as a giant waste of money and the recipients as frauds, liars, cheats, and drug addicts.

Being an ignorant foreigner who knows little about Canada you probably aren't aware that you have to buy your channels in a package, and that these packages often include channels you wouldn't otherwise be willing to select and buy...

Argus Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Your first mistake: Watching Fox News. <shrug> They sometimes cover non-political stuff. And even with the political stuff it can be amusing to see how they spin stuff, and how practiced their look of righteous indignation is.

Boges Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 It seems to work for them. CNN is suffering from being painfully down the middle.

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does Fox News Channel have better numbers in Canada than the on and off again CBC News Network ? Odd, but I really don't see any Canadian cable news offerings for my basic or upgraded channel tiers in the U.S. Wonder why ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
