Employees Expose FOX NEWS' Distortions

FOX News: "Fair and balanced" because they say so!

A brief but shocking compilation from the documentary:
"OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism"


As Rupert Murdoch's 'war on journalism' hits new lows, droves of disgruntled employees are confessing their many misdeeds, brought upon by the Soviet-Union-esque environment they faced at FOX News. Watch how FOX executives dictate their bias by forcing reporters to follow memos that predetermine what they can say and how they should say it.

Rupert Murdoch has decided that the best approach to journalism is to parade opinions dressed-up as News. The reason is simple: No one can disprove an opinion, and therefore, credibility is easier to maintain. Should they ever be caught lying, the legal process affords them protection under the First Amendment. We also have Congress to thank for the bright idea of passing a rider Bill (hidden) to deregulate the News Media.

That's right; Corporate News entities can tell lies and distort the news as they please, and it's all perfectly legal.

To the best of my knowledge, no country can have or maintain democracy without an honest Press or, at least, one that can be held accountable. But where is ours?

Not convinced? "Florida Appeals Court ruled that there is absolutely nothing illegal in a major media organization lying, concealing or distorting information":

This video clip is a brief compilation from Robert Greenwald's documentary:

I still can not believe people that watch all news casts believe the crap that is being said about Fox News. Never I have I found another news sight that was even close to being balanced. Look at the senate race in MN. Not one vote found for the republican. Come on smell the coffee!!

Then you obviously haven't watched very closely. Checked all the "Outfoxed" videos and the like on YouTube. You think joking that a member of Fox news joking that Obama should be killed is "fair and balanced"? You think calling him a terrorist, who went to terrorist schools and greets his wife with a "terrorist fist jab" is good news reporting? Fox and Bill O'Reilly lied us into a war. It's an arm of Rove politics based on fear and hate.

Gee, I have watched all the news networks for years and find fox to be the least biased.

Why do they let (e.g.) George Carlin talk on Fox in the first place if they don't let him say what he wants then. They tell everyone to shut up when one says the truth.

FOX is a pure propaganda and manipulation channel.

Shame on everyone whos working there without having a guilty conscience about it.
