Fox News Lies and Plagiarism in Tea Party Coverage

larkjl86
From Huffington Post: "In this morning's Washington Post, on page A9, the Fox News Channel took out a full-page ad, chest-thumping about its coverage of this past weekend's Tea Party protests in Washington, DC (which were heavily promoted by Fox News). "How did, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN miss this story?" the text reads. It makes one wonder: Did Fox's marketing department bother to check on its competitors' coverage before they made these claims?

The facts are these: It took me all of 30 seconds to open up TVEyes and search CNN and MSNBC for Tea Party coverage on Saturday, September 12. Here are the facts. By my rough count, on September 12, CNN ran no less than 14 reports on the Tea Party rally, beginning at approximately 7:00 a.m. During the same time period, MSNBC offered viewers four reports on the Tea Parties. This is substantially less coverage than that of Fox News, obviously, but they did provide one of the event's most iconic images"

    • FOX isn't looking for money and profit, that is just the cherry on top, they really do want to push their ideology on every American, because only then can the public stay dumb and deaf, and ignore all of the things that are going on around them. When a populace is educated, they don't consume senselessly, they don't allow their water, food and environment to be polluted, and they don't sit silently around when their government is fighting useless wars, taking more and more of our rights away and sinking the economy. These people have set us back a decade in science, medicine, technology (that isn't weapon related), environmental awareness, and food safety laws. What a shame!

    • I still hate CNN, but i hate Fox News more than CNN. CNN gets the news right, is that sometimes they "over-news",and they boast and brag too much. Fox News though, the just make up the news and add dramatic, and fictional storylines in order to get viewers. Im stuck on MSNBC, they report the news like it's a local affiliate, and their primetime lineup is Kick-ass!

    • It's bad enough that we have to sit through our politicians accusing each other of lies. I think no matter what news station you listen to, CNN or FOX, its only about10% true or actual news, and the rest is just their opinion.

    • From the huffingPAINTpost: More bullshit reasons why you should be paying attention to what Fox news is saying instead of the democrats because they are really fuckin up big time and we don't want you to notice.

      Story at 11.

      When will you all quit worrying about Fox news?

      Isn't there more pressing issues for you to deal with?

      I agree. But the most important thing in my mind is to just tune out. Don't watch the programs on their station that distort, lie about and twist reality. They will have to change.

      Vote with your remote. They don't need to apologize to anyone. Neither does MSNBC or CNN. However, ABC, CBS and NBC which are on the publicly owned airwaves should apologize to us all for their unwillingness to do their job.

    • Fox News Network.. don't you mean Fox Tabloid.

      I am absolutely shocked that a news gathering organization can be as low as FOX.

      Fox cares about ratings, money, ratings and did I mention money.

      They appeal to a segment of the population who deserve what they get when they turn in, stupid, spoon feed garbage, wheer the intellect level is quite low.

      If you watch Fox News please wake up and get help.
