    There is an excellent documentary called "Outfoxed" that addresses this as well.

      Who would have guessed? - and they told us they present fair and balanced views - actually, anyone who believes that and watches FOX for any reason other than its comic value is so stupid they deserved to be duped

        Aha! Someone finally outed the Bush propaganda machine! So what else is new? Anyone with a single brain cell knows that Rupert Murdoch manipulates the extreme right wing Fox news and feeds all the dittoheads and O'Reilly lovers the drivel they love.

        Find a brain cell folks! You're being used! Goebbels would be very very proud of Fox! He always said (paraphrasing) If you tell the same lie often enough, people will believe it". and "Tell people you're keeping them safe and they'll follow you anywhere." Sounds kinda Foxy doesn't it?

        All of the right wingers out there are bringing the wrath of the world on the rest of us with the ability to think! God help us all. There ain't a brain cell among 'em and GW Bush is the lead dumbass.

        Of course all you dittoheads can think to do is yell "liberal" any time you're cornered. I'm proud to wear that tag. Look up the definition of the word!

          I don't think that libs sprout crapola - more like this administration has fed us a lot of crapola.

            If some people felt that Fox pushed a leftwing view, while others felt it pushed a rightwing view, that would indicate a real balance and real fairness. What cracks me up is conservatives actually saying out loud that the reason they like Fox is because it tells them what they already believe. That is how you make new clothes for the emperor.

              hey mr ed,

              I did not get that the tribute was for the funeral.

              Is that your interpretation?

              He said it was for his birthday (that no one really cared about anyway).

              calm down monkey and watch the video.

                I can recommend every one to watch this video in its entirety.

                What a scary group of people at that Fox place.

                My god what are they thinking!

                  Bush and his cronies have Fox in the mix of their misinformation machine.......we always guessed it, now it's been outed........oh what a tangled web they've tried to weave.....but Americans are no dummies and we now know the truth. Come November, we'll take appropriate action. Hire your lawyers now Msrs Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove

                        There once was a "news" channel named Fox

                        the favorite of GOP chicken hawks

                        its owner was ruthless

                        in deceiving the truthless

                        heedless of the public it mocks!

                          Oh man, that was a long video.

                          If you watch to the end the guy who was supposed to do the story said it was a tribute for his birthday.

                          And sadly Colmes is a sissy and that is only because they will not allow any cute hunky Liberals. Way too challenging!

                            you sir apparently have not on inth of an idea concerning what the word liberal means in the dicitionary and how everyone of you tree hugging, one world loving,afraid to wipe your ass because it may slap you back pigs portray it to mean evewry damn time you open up your mouth........for gods sakes come to the reality that the Democrats have for over the 70 years that yall have had control, you have brainwashed every man woman and child thAT the Goverment will save you, help you, feed you and all it got us was more and more waste, At least Clinton was smart enough to get the Welfare reform act passed, that was the only thing that he did that was morally decent, if it was left up to yall we all would be speaking russian.

                                Yep Clinton did get the welfare reform passed. It has changed America.

                                Thanks for giving him that credit.

                                Not too many poeple even remember that anymore!

                                    Clinton got welfare reform passed because of Republicans, not Democrats. The Jesse Jackson wing of your party fought it all the way.

                                    We all grew up listening to the Left Wing ABC, CBS, NBC and then CNN. Now that we have one station that is center to right of center you cry babies can't stand it. Yes, the radio has many more Conservative programs than the Liberals have. That is because people don't like the Liberal ones and they go out of business. If it wasn't for Soros and other rich Liberals financing AirAmerica, it would have gone belly up by now.

                                        I wonder why the left always bashes Fox news while all the while never showing a willingness to admit an equal bias by CNN to the left. Then again, if anyone actually watched CNN I guess more people may have an opinion. If you live in a glass house you should not throw stones!

                                        ....and oh yea, disgruntled ex-employees willing to say whatever it take (truth or not) to get back at their former employer? Never happened in Amarica before as far as I know.

                                          With all due respect to everyone in this forum, you are completely missing the boat here. Fox News is the most relevant television news network on the air. If it were not for Fox, what would the Daily Show with John Stewart do for material?

                                          The Repubes (spelling error purposeful) have to have an outlet to do all their blathering. Without it, they would end up going door to door, or calling us during dinner to tell us that the war in Iraq is going smoothly. I tell ya, pass on all the networks news coverage lately except for Comedy Central.

                                          Frankly that is a shame too, because I like the commentary of intelligent men like Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty.

                                          By the way, do Hannity and Colmes know how to close their mouths when they speak? They should practice that technique more often.

                                            You are such a funny Liberal. Perhaps you could get a job on Air America and save that left wing radio show. Probably the reason you are in such a snit is because your fountain of truth, Dan Rather got fired. Well, don't despair, there are plenty more fabricated news stories left to produce by CBS,NBC, ABC and CNN.

                                              What I love is all the cons defending Fox by claiming every other news source is Liberal.

                                              Here`s a clue cons: you`re too extreme far to the right to even see the divider between right and left!

                                              Most corporate media acts as a mouth piece for the right-wing, but you folks are so extreme you cannot even see that. If the mass media were Liberal, there would have been no Whitewater, no Monica, no Clinton impeachment. Plus, Dubya would have been laughed out of the primaries in 2000. The guy is a loser, a drunk, an AWOLer, a criminal...and those are his accomplishments.

                                              Fox News viewers embarrass the heck out of real Americans. Seriously. How could you people not know that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11? How could you not know there weren`t any WMD after all this time? You people seriously make our whole country look stupid.

                                              Two words: Stop It

                                                Now seriously, what is embarassing is when I'm out of this country and the only American news program is CNN and all their anti-American crap. No wonder so much of the world has such a slanted view of the US. You are wrong about the WMD's. There have been over 500 shells found with Sarin and other WMD material. What do you think Saddam did with all the stuff he was using against the Iranians and Kurds? It didn't just evaporate into thin air. No, it is you Liberals that are destroying this country and putting us at risk against the Muslim Fundamentalists. Wise up.
