Fox or Not?

Fox News

I seriously doubt that's true.

It might be if it were true.

I agree with you on this.


No, it actually isn't. CNN has never handed out daily talking point memos as Fox has done.

This all sounds like denial.

True. I'm always amazed at how time the left spends talking about Fox. For a news outlet that they believe is crazy they sure give it a lot of attention.

Liberals give it a lot of attention because conservatives do.Trying to have a discussion with the Obama is a Muslim/Kenyan/Communist/Dictator crowd requires an understanding of where they get their information.

They just take them from the White House or DNC.

That's not actually true, more of a "well they must do it too" sort of speculation unsupported by facts, but Fox really did hand out daily talking point memos.

Denial of an untruth is a good thing.

Denial of an untruth is a good thing.

Is it a good thing? Or is it a double unplus good thing?

Unsupported by facts? All you have to do is listen to them.

There are many good online sources which independently measure political bias in news organizations. I prefer to find as neutral a news source as possible.

Fox News is far from neutral by any measure.

I can see how someone fed a steady diet of this would wind up with an alternate view to reality.

I aced the test.

I searched the first two headlines in that quiz. The first turned out to be a blog post on a conservative blog and the second turned out to be an opinion article from a National Review opinion piece reposted at Fox Nation. Seems a bit disingenuous for them to be comparing commentary headlines to news headlines

What two headlines did you use for your search?

 

[Belk]

It is curious how most Liberals on this website only visit Left leaning sites and then wrongly mock the Religious Right of being narrow for only going to Fox for all their news. It's very curious

I am curious as well. What is the ratio oif liberals to conservative on the website and how many of those only visit left leaning sites? Since you apparently have numbers?

 

[Grizzly]

What two headlines did you use for your search?

Yes - I see the issue. Everytime I go to that site it shows a difference set of forced choice questions.

When I said the first two, I was being literal meaning that I searched for the first two

That I know of, there are no numbers for the Left or the Right on this site. My point is that the Left needs to stop making that accusation against Conservatives.

This is a really fun game, lol.

Liberals spend far more time obsessing over Fox News than conservatives spend obsessing about MSNBC. Outlets like Fox and talk radio only exist because the media began slanting their news and shutting out conservative views. The fact that Fox continues to dominate the ratings tells me they must be doing something right.

It seems to me people simply like their beliefs confirmed. It's comfortable to get information from people who agree with you.

Who does this? What makes you think that they visit only left-leaning sites?

To get the real story you need to visit as many sites as possible.

That's exactly what I do every day...

That's because people actually watch FoxRepublicanNews. Nobody watches MSNBC.
