When George Tiller was murdered at a Kansas church in 2009, liberal critics savaged Bill O'Reilly for having attacked the abortion doctor more than two dozen times, labeling him ''Tiller the Baby Killer.'' The Fox News host called the criticism ''nonsense,'' saying "evidence shows that Tiller was a gross human rights violator?!?''

The impact of Fox's venomous, often grossly distorted, political discourse on the U.S. airwaves has been blamed by some for the tragic shooting rampage at a political meeting in Arizona last week, which killed six and injured 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head.

Fox gives NeoCons like Sarah Palin a platform to present a map of the USA with cross hairs indicating which Democrats allegedly went against constituents' wishes and supported Obamacare.

Fox doesn't just slant news, it creates news by demonizing people who don't subscribe to their narrow, conservative views.

Fox News: Fair and Balanced?!? That's an outright lie!
The Most Biased Name in News

The President, broad minded liberals and Christians throughout the nation denounce your argument of blaming Fox or conservatives for the evil killings in Arizona as untrue. Your idea has very few allies. Your branding iron is just too big for the rest of the nation and the body of Christ.

There is a fine line between biased reporting and blatant propaganda. Most would agree that Fox News is blatant NeoCon propaganda. The only other mainstream media outlet that comes close to approaching Fox's blatant propaganda level is Russia's Pravda.

More branding!

Looks more like a branding iron to me?
Hardly. I presented evidence along with another member for its misrepresentation/lying. If that is 'branding' I suggest you look up the meaning of the word.

If video games the biggest lie you have found?
If they cannot be truthful in something as simple as a video game, why would I expect them to be truthful about other, more important things?

What a shame, Fox opposes rape because a vidio game fails to encourage it!
What a shame, Fox opposes a video game because they don't know how the industry works.

Look brother in Christ, the OP asked you to cite some evidence and you simply referred him to some liberal conspiracy theory. That stuff is your gospel so tell us about it in your own words but don't depend on us to read your guff. We ain't going to do it.
This is ridiculous. You rip him for 'not citing evidence', then you basically say you won't read it unless it's in his words. Which is it? Do you want the evidence or not?

It is amazing how some run to the hills when others ask for the facts!

Facts, you say? You want facts, Gadfly?

On Fox 's Special Report newscast (6/16/04), anchor Brit Hume charged that the media were mischaracterizing the report: "The Associated Press leads off its story on a new 9/11 commission report by saying the document bluntly contradicts the Bush administration by claiming to have no credible evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 terrorist attacks." Hume maintained that the AP story was inaccurate: "In fact, the Bush administration has never said that such evidence exists."

In fact, it's Hume that is misrepresenting the AP story-- quoting from the story's lead, but then changing its meaning through an inaccurate paraphrase. The story actually begins: "Bluntly contradicting the Bush administration, the commission investigating the September 11 attacks reported Wednesday there was 'no credible evidence' that Saddam Hussein had ties with Al Qaeda."

Sarah Palin
It's not a huge surprise to any of us but this little excerpt highlighted in Andrew Sullivan's post about former Palinite Frank Bailey's upcoming tell-all about the half-term governor is worth noting: We could normally expect them to repeat any coordinated message we sent. Who's "they?" Among others, Greta Van Susteren, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Bill Kristol.

Mike Huckabee
Today's Fox News Sunday featured two 2012 potential Republican nominees as the only guests: Indiana governor Mitch Daniels and Fox News host and former Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee. There was nobody involved with the Wisconsin budget dispute or protests, Libya or the Middle East. Libya was discussed but not until after the interviews with Daniels and Huckabee. There were no Democratic guests. Fair & Balanced?

After a five-week trial and six hours of deliberation which ended August 18, 2000, a Florida state court jury unanimously determined that Fox "acted intentionally and deliberately to falsify or distort the plaintiffs' news reporting on BGH." In that decision, the jury also found that Jane's threat to blow the whistle on Fox's misconduct to the FCC was the sole reason for the termination... and the jury awarded $425,000 in damages which makes her eligible to apply for reimbursement for all court costs, expenses and legal fees.

I'd also like to add that Fox no longer has a comment section below their articles. How Fair and Balanced of them. Or must we first 'register' with the Ministry of Truth to read comments?

I fear You are worshiping at the alter of Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdock. I pray you wake up soon and commit your life to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Here is some more evidence since you missed it the first time...
