Fox News- obviously journalism!

So when Hillary Clinton's campaign noted how fucking biased MSNBC was for Obama over her, that was their truth bias shining through.
Good to know.
You're using the Hillary Clinton campaign as a source for bias against them? Sure that makes sense, I mean they have no reason to report differently.

MSNBC's bias isn't a liberal bias. It's an Obama bias. Handed down on high from GE. I'm not saying it's fox news, before anyone starts up with false equivalency BS, but it's pretty biased.
EDIT:
From the wiki
Once a news network has established a position and a platform, it doesn't get to be called "unbiased".
People who are losing also see bias in places it doesn't exist (see: conservatives v. "liberal" media).

If one side says the earth goes around the sun and the other insists that the sun orbits the earth, you don't go looking for a n earth-centric 'astronomer' to balance your reporting by championing that view. You call that side out in being fucking wrong and move on.
Glad you managed to squeeze a shot off against Fox news, i thought we were gonna go a whole 2 posts without attacking them.
Crisis adverted.
Again when the network runs GOP talking points as stories, have misleading graphs that show the opposite of what the data does, and in the case listed earlier grossly change the photos of journalists that disagree with them, I think they deserve all the hate they get.

Oh I agree. I'm going to the store and buying some frozen pizza later. Wanna give me some tips on a brand?
Also don't forget to attack fox news.
Liberals both of the Democrat and Republican nature? Round the same time FOX was crowing about OWS, ABC was crowing about the Tea Party.
I listened to his radio show very often. He was a completely different person for television.
Practically the entire world minus North America would apply Liberal to both our Democrat and Republican party. Kinda like how the Democrats are "Left" in the US but staunchly considered center right by anyone Not American. Republicans just seem more nasty because they're a reactionary party.
I don't really think reality has a liberal-in-the-American-sense bias.
I mean, you do realize that means we are staying on topic, right?
Here's another example of Fox News' amazing integrity.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
OMG, someone criticized Fox News! That's an ATTACK!!!
Or, you know, what this thread is about.
How relevant is that platform though? I mean, Fox's position is 'fair and balanced', which is a falsehood, and definitely not reflected in their content. So, I'm not sure if it's prudent to take MSNBC's position as an indicator of their overall content. They can say one thing and do whatever else they want. Though, I'm not familiar enough with MSNBC's actual content to comment on any actual bias, aside from Maddow, which as far as I can tell, covers more factual circumstance than anything else.
So your stance is that MSNBC might not be biased, even though it claims it is?
I'm not sure how to respond to that. Maybe MSNBC is so incompetent that they can't even get their own bias right?
Fundamentally it's the same move, though; they've identified a niche market and they're trying to appeal to it.
do you lack faith, brother?
or do you believe?

Wow.
There was a wonderful rush to judgement today by ABC and others in blaming a Tea Party member for that shooting in Colorado. I'm sure it was an honest mistake though, not an example of confirmation bias leading liberals in the media to dive into a story that proved completely wrong.
That map is real? How can a show do that? Surely someone, somewhere called them out on it? Does the USA not have an ofcom equivalent? Lots of questions here cause JESUS.

But at least it wasn't Louie Gohmert stupid who accused this of being an attack on Christians and wondered why no one in a darkened theater filled with teargas fired back.

Brian Ross this morning reported on the wrong John Holmes, because amazingly there were two in Aurora, and the wrong was was affiliated with the Tea Party.

FOX NEWS by the way was completely ignored until W. Bush was elected and didn't really take off until after 9/11. They worked very hard in recruiting personalities and cultivating their audience with the right lies and such.
They are without a doubt full of evil people and among the best obfuscaters on the planet, but they are brilliantly run.
So its a case of an idiot somehow still allowed on the air? Ok thats not points for ABC.
Http:// pleasepaypreacher.net
Yep.

They do like to bang on about the evils of the "mainstream media" though, the irony of which is apparently lost on their viewership.
The problem is their bullshit gets repeated by more reputable news

Perhaps you've misunderstood. If a news network declares a position but the content doesn't follow suit, is their position relevant to the content aired? It could very well be likely that they simply want to brand themselves as a home for progressive news media, but is this actually the case(I'm not aware of the totality of MSNBC's coverage)?. Just as Fox wishes to present itself as 'fair and balanced', but their content is decidedly not so.
I also remember the completely out of the blue "terrorist fist jab".
Well, they're owned by Disney, a company that is kinda famous for kowtowing to the social right wing, and many of the their reporters are openly conservative.
If anything, ABC is simply "not all that informative one way or another." It's the same game that CNN plays: "We won't report on ANYTHING and then everyone will love us!"
It'd be better to compare figures to other news sources, no?
