After the Brian Williams kerfluffle, I am surprised no one had brought up Bill O'Reilly's spat with David Corn and Mother Jones
Bill O'Reilly Has His Own Brian Williams Problem
As the article points out, what O'Reilly could not have seen the things he claims to have seen in Argentina, because...
I know that we all on this forum are of various political and cultural stripes, and yet it is our belief in rational thinking and skepticism that binds us together. Based on this principal, can we please all agree that Fox News is bad for humanity? Not Hannity - humanity. If you don't agree...
So, the setup. As you all know a few days ago there was a shooting in Canada. It kind of made the news and everything. During the coverage of this event swimsuit model and part time sports radio host Chrissy Teigen wrote the tweet I wish I had thought of.
It was a great little poke at how...
I go to McDonalds a lot and that is what they all have on their flat screens 24/7. Basically Fox news is full on conservative hosts who spend a great deal of time reading all the hate mail they get as proof that they are doing a good job. Are there many Fox news lovers here I wonder? How many...

Yep, the end of the world because of gay rights, because of creator this and creator that.
I wonder if he meant the Dreamtime or the Garuda Bird?

Wow, it upset a few people. I had to redact the first URL I found for banned words!

You know, that's just
special.
Check this out:

Fox News interviews a Pulitzer-winning author to talk about Benghazi, and he promptly slams their coverage of the subject.
They wouldn’t have this problem if they stayed in the kitchen
Wow. So women who want to serve their country should expect that rape is something that just comes with the territory, and the military shouldn't be wasting any money to address this problem. Just unbelievable.
Last time we heard...
Apparently conservative David Frum, formerly a Fox News pundit among other things, has been thinking critically for some time, (Pundit changes view based on (*gasp!*) evidence)
Frum was interviewed on CNN's Reliable Sources this morning** about this piece in the New York Magazine:
When Did the...
Like remember when Obama suspended the War on Terror and made Osama Bin Laden an official ambassador who now stays the night over at the White House all the time?
Or when Obama made guns illegal?
Or when Obama redistributed all the money from white people to black people?
Or that new law that...
Fox News goes all 5-alarm because Obama didn't say the word God in his annual Thanksgiving address.
However, apparently former president Bush once gave a Thanksgiving address without mentioning God, and Fox News didn't seem to notice. Clinton did it four times.
Furthermore:
Reminds me of the...
Hey all,
I just ran across this story via an email from a friend at work and wanted to know what the consensus was here on the jref boards. I couldn't find anything with the search function so I thought I'd post it...
When I'm down at my mom's Fox News serves as a kind of background noise. So while I was down there last time I was just kind of noticing little things they talked about and included in their broadcast. Things Fox News seems to take as established fact that is new to me.
Things like:
Greece...
Came across this interesting Fox News piece praising Israel for its contributions to medical science and the fact that it is a world leader in various medical techniques:

But wait a minute...
This morning on “Fox and Friends” presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty appeared in a sham and rehearsed interview. It was apparent to anyone watching it, Fox News has endorsed Pawlenty as their candidate in 2012. Unlike other morning cable shows, “Fox and Friends” programming is always rehearsed...
Errr... I've never actually seen anyone implement a literal strawmen like this before. And by literal I mean Fox news presented a fake Obama for Ron Paul to "debate" with.

I sat down last night to watch some of the new "Fox News North", SunTV during it's debut special. The first image I see is all a collage of the Mohammed cartoons. I have to admit that caused me to laugh pretty hard. Ezra faced some hysterical actions from the Human Rights Commission for printing...
Glenn Beck is leaving the Fox News Channel. :)
Fox News Announces That Glenn Beck "To Transition Off Of His Daily Program."
The bad news? :(
Beck's Potential Replacement And Guest Host Is 9-11 Truther Andrew Napolitano.
Ratings going down. Rantings going up. Advertisers bailing. He's going on to "create other projects". HE'S BEING DUMPED.

Fox News didn't fact check again.
They added another nuclear reactor to the several Japan already has.
(Oh, and this one, it seems to be a night club.)
http://www.thebvx.com/2010/08/11/glenn-becks-top-10-not-so-questionably-racist-moments/
how can people watch Fox News and source them, when the company makes such right-wing racist, bigoted, and hateful remarks?
how can Conservatives swear by such an evil corporation?
I have a "Turn off Fox News" bumper sticker on my car.
My friend, Scott, asked my "Why?" Scott is more conservative than I am. He claims I'm a liberal b/c I think of things before rendering judgement.
He doesn't follow in lock-step the war cries of Hannity and Rush, but, he doesn't think...
