Fox News

Watching that movie outfox the other day just reinforced how much I hate that channel. Filled with conservatives I'm amazed that any democrats are on the show and that they manage to get a word in. Of course what they say is readily dismissed or they are cut off and called idiots or what they say becomes distorted into something completely different.

I'm not a huge news watcher, to be honest I sometimes find it boring and depressing but that's real life. It was interesting to see that Fox News didn't always used to be this way it used to be normal and for the most part fair like they say it is. But when Robert Murdoch bought the channel things progressively went down hill and those who were against the new format were fired. It was also weird to see everyone on that channel say the same thing over and over, pick a new phrase.

The fact of the matter is every major news station is going to be some what biased for instance MSNBC is noticeably more liberal than FOX News, yet at the same time, MSNBC is not as argumentative with their guests the atmosphere is much calmer. To me Fox News is the worst place to get your information and in the words of Keith Olbermann (who has his own show on MSNBC) it's really Fox Noise

I think that any news station is going to be biased, some more than others. But that is just where you have be skeptical and take in the information of the news and then believe what you think is the truth. I think most of the time you can tell which stations are biased and how much.
