Fox News
There’s a set of people here who all seem to have the same strongly held opinions on the same set of issues. Guns, Muslims, Trump, Hillary Clinton, abortion, to name a few favourites. It’s not like some of their views happen to coincide, but rather, they all seem to think the same about everything. Another thing all these people seem to have in common is their propensity for posting videos, and something a lot of these videos have in common is that they have “Fox News” written in the bottom left hand corner. Well I’m no genius but I don’t need to be one to put two and two together.Half an hour spent looking at Fox News clips on Youtube doesn’t amount to extensive research, I admit that, but it is enough to make it obvious that Fox News is far more propaganda than news. I always thought the purpose of news programmes was to inform people of the facts, not to tell them what to think. I know we all have our prejudices and preferences and like to be told what we prefer to hear, but what is the point of news if it’s biased? We all get things wrong sometimes but if we are never presented with an impartial account of what is going on, how are we supposed to make an informed decision when we vote?
I find the idea of people preferring having their prejudices reinforced, to hearing the truth, amazing.

I know what's happening in other countries more than what I know what's happening country.
I know what's happening in other countries more than what I know what's happening IN MY country.
Brainwashing would be the point.
I completely agree on your take of the news!
What Marlin sez. Yep.
Being biased and or being prejudiced is personal. I favor Trump. I'm a believer that he's doing a great job. Fox news isn't the only major outlet of his accomplishments.
Listen to Hannity, Judge Janine, Russ Limbaugh, you'll find their factual reporting.
I do want documents presented on claims reported on any news, sans those documents, I wouldn't buy them.
Noble thought, har.
Ain't gonna happen, though...not enough focus.
Sponsors wouldn't be able to determine to what thoughtgroup/demographic their products should be marketed
Shotgun marketing. Cost ineffective
Long story short...
No focus, no identifiable market. No Identifiable market, no sponsors. No sponsors, no revenue. No revenue...Well, that says it all -NO REVENUE!
Hence - no such news outlet...
I was not aware of that, specifically.
Yep. Like I said...paid product placement. Absolutely.
Again - Noble Ideal. No argument.
And again...
Long story short...
No news bias, No focus. No focus, no identifiable market. No Identifiable market, no sponsors. No sponsors, no revenue. No revenue...Well, that's all. -NO REVENUE!
Hence - no such news outlet...
Finis. Show's over. End of story.
In case any of y'all failed to grasp the concept...
One More Time...
With Music...
NOT a FOX (FAUX?) News vid
I thought we'd covered this
Use the link to read the rest.
Fox and OAN.....One American Network are the two news feeds I listen too. Liz Wheeler and Gram Ledger have good Twitter feeds from OAN.
And as Ms rainbowdream aptly stated; if the left likes something one knows it can't be good for the world. Most networks/newspapers are owned by the left. Their agenda is to make money, and lies, fake new!s and deception brings in the big bucks. Thanks to Trump for signaling the fake news media: CNN, MSNBC, ABC... Washington Post.....this whole scene is no different than 100 years ago, just more intense due to social media.
