All U.S.news media sucks if you want real unbiased news its either Democracy now or al jazeera are the best sources for news.

 

i suspect that that is either a photoshop, or something is very out of context.

hell, they could be playing devil's advocate with that question and proceed to give every reason why torture is wrong. in other words, that picture by itself means absolutely nothing.

 

Al Jazeera?


Seriously, don't make me laugh... How ever far out I think Fox News is at times... they aren't BATSHIT CRAZY. Al Jazeera is literally one of the most insane news sources I've ever seen...

 

I don't mind either network. Fact is there's always bias in today's news reporting, even though proper journalism is supposed to free of it.

It's like the whole thing where lawyers are supposed to be ethical. :rofl:

 

Knowing Fox News, and knowing people who don't like Fox news, there's an equal chance that it's either a perfectly legit serious screen cap or a photochop h:

 

i don't really like either. im inclined to think it was more of a devil's advocate type thing like reno said... doesnt look like photochop and they would just be arrogant to seriously post something like that

 

The gym I used to go to had Fox News on 24x7 on over half their TVs there (It was a super rich athletic club where I got access through the staff :rick: )... They say some very, very ridicilous things on that little ticker and on those subtitles h:

 

Bah that person's point number 2 is fucking bullshit. The rioters in France are "Islamic radicals" who are "making some rather astounding headway in their efforts to bring the Western world to its knees under Islamic culture and law"?!

Muslims in western European nations, as a class, are similar to hispanic immigrants here in the united states. Do we think of the colombians, mexicans, argentinians and everyone else radicals trying to take over our country? And if they started rioting because a couple of members of their particular ethnic group ended up in an electric power station at the end of a police chase and were fried to death?

This shit is about a class of people who are fed up with their situation and are lashing out violently. Just because that particular class of people happens to be of the same general religious classification as the type of folks who are all callin a jihad up on our asses doesn't mean the rioters are all doing some jihad against the infidels and all that shit.

But someone whose obvious right-leaning sensibilities would be upset by seeing something like this on CNN would clearly be quick to assume that all muslims are out to destroy western civilization. Maybe if he paid attention to europe a little more he would know that it has a huge muslim population, much more so than here in amurrica where it seems like muslims are somewhere over on the other end of the world in a bunch of places ending with -stan.

Ok so maybe CNN probably could have said that the people who are rioting are Muslim which would have provided information. But maaaaybe they understood that there's plenty of people who hear muslim and automatically think terrorist that they didn't want the two to get confounded in this particular story where the issue is more that a particular class feels disadvantage, rather than a bunch of islamic extremists being terrorists.

So while this particular person avoids CNN because of its evil leftist agenda, I and many other folks avoid Fox news because of its evil rightist agenda.

 

is PBS biased?

 

you're probably just joking but it probably is in that, it caters to those who support it. PBS is run largely on donations, those that donate probably have some degree of pull in its programming.
