What Liberal is getting upset? I'm, certainly no Liberal.
But I am ashamed that a bunch of liers and hacks call themselves "America's News Source", mainly because they think so lowly of Americans that we would believe their tripe.
A lot of liberals are upset. All I hear about is Faux News. People don't care when things are wrong as long as it's to their liking. In other words, liberals never complained before when it was only liberal slants. It's all tripe. Now everyone complains, oh well, at least people are finally waking up I guess.
I differentiate between a 'slant' and outright lying. And to hear the likes of Sean, Bill and Carl attribute words to people they have never said, lie about incontrovertible facts and shill for a political party... that's what pisses me off.
And to think I used to like Bill when he first started.
Guess what. Even moderates and conservatives are upset. Even REAL journalists - y'know, the ones with degrees? - are upset. It's poor journalism, and not because it's bias. If you want to see bias journalism that does it right, read the Guardian or the Financial Times. They know how to write even if it's bias. Fox News, on the other hand, is simply a joke that way too many people take seriously.
Conservative and moderates have been upset for YEARS. With good reason. Now many of them are pacified because finally they have a biased network to watch that's in their favor. It's all disgusting.
however, as I pointed out, even if it is in their favor, it's piss-poor journalism that smacks of contempt for decent reporting on any level. I have no problem with a conservative newspaper that writes well, but Fox News is like the Washington Times - better suited to line a birdcage with it than listen.
