    • journalism school? Ha! hardly a single one of the anchors hold any credibility in the field of journalism. You can look up their positions on the Fox site, each are political commentators, from Fox (especially Beck the disc jockey) to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. The only reason I would bare pay attention to either is for entertainment value. I will say, MSNBC's Olbermman and Rachel Maddow use facts and evidence to explain their claims, whereas Fox just have their claims which are intended to explain the lack of truth and evidence (the supposed "gut feeling"). Both openly and honestly attempt to sway their viewers, its just obvious which of them are far more misleading and deceiving.

    • ~ Nothing false or disingenuous with MSM?
      ~ At least an apology was expressed and steps were taken to see that it "doesn't happen again." Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it?

    • So the employees are using tactics they learned in journalism school: to findout IT'S NOT acceptable at FOX NEWS! Thanks for the update. Keeps them on their toes and accurate. Too bad other stations don't do the same. : D

      Find comparable lies, distortions, selective editing, cropping quotes, race-baiting, and the use of talking points received directly from a party committee (sometimes with the typos still intact!) on a regular basis at another network or shut the fuck up.

    • Sorry but that memo was written for public consumption. The only way they'll ever convince me of their sincerity to shit-can Hannity, Beck, and OReilly.

    • Just new and continuing propaganda to misdirect attention from their old and stale propaganda. What do they say about a proven liar? Once a liar, always a liar.

    • kenny you get me. FOX is taking action for some mistakes that were made and u still are pissing in their wheaties. I have decided that you cannot make some people happy, they just want to bitch and complain.

    • ~ That Fox is taking steps to correct the content aired to the GP is most commendable as stated in their memo:
      -> "That means we will start by going to air with only the most essential, basic, and manageable elements. To share a key quote from today's meeting: "It is more important to get it right, than it is to get it on." We may then build up again slowly as deadlines and workloads allow so that we can be sure we can quality check everything before it makes air, and we never having to explain, retract, qualify or apologize again.

      ~ That's something that MSM networks don't even try to correct ... MSM pundits snarky defenses for their denigrative, pejorative and prevaricating opinion journals are so glaringly apparent it is appalling to think that seemingly rational people can actually believe they have credibility.

      Obviously you don't watch msnbc because i have seen all their hosts even Keith and Rachel give corrections and retractions. You think fridays memo is monumental, maybe for FOX but it's already been done on the left for years. Hell even Al Franken when he had a show on Air America had a special correction theme song. Maybe FOX should try that after all he was so honest about his mistakes the public elected him Senator. Telling the truth can get you a long ways!

      ~ You're right kennymo, I don't watch msnbc's snarky attack dawgs spew their vitriolic rhetoric... I have better sense and reasoning than to take in that garbage.
      ~ That MSM has a corrections and retractions program speaks volumes about their need to cover their prevaricating asses on a continual basis...what a feather in their cap, eh?

      akamaial thinks it is unconscionable that anyone on MSNBC or CNN makes fun of dumb pathological liar Sarah Palin or her dumb fans or the racist lunatics at teabagger rallies, but the racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, violent rhetoric, and constant lies of FOX News [sic] is just fine with him.

      This total lack of decency or intellectual honesty that akamaial demonstrates is what both the Republican Party and its media wing, FOX, thrive upon.

      ~ Such a classic leftist response Brendan_M,

      ~ It is people such as yourself who so clearly elucidate my point about leftist vitriol against those who strip away the facade of their parties propaganda machine...
      ... and invariably it usually is leftist who are first to play the racist, sexist and etc-phobia card, quickly following with personal attacks of character and purpose, thereby illuminating the fact it is their own ethics and character that needs examination.

      That's not much of a denial, akamaial. The total lack of journalistic integrity and veracity at FOX is well-documented. FOX News [sic] is so bad that they almost make the other networks look good. Now, if you provide actual counter-examples to the scores and scores of examples we have provided, go ahead, but cut the phony bullshit about being offended, you hypocrite.

      Now that is hilarious, thats your example? I believe they were all white and Chris says there's nothing wrong with that and that offends you? Driving while black is a real thing that puts black people in jeopardy all the time, and is well documented in every city in this country. How many of these white people were pulled over by the cops while waiting to see precious Sarah?

      kennymo.... I had to come back and delete my last comment to you, as I could not see it served any purpose other than to inflame and to offend, and there is enough of that already... that you cannot, do not, or will not see the comparable hypocrisy from the left as well as the right, the tit-for-tat as it is, so to speak... then, oh well!

      When the issue of the wrong videos being played and their phony apology occurred, that is exactly what I thought. When ever a Republican wasn't saying what they thought he should say, they put a (D) next to their names. That was a lie and everyone just 'moved along'.

      ~ if the fourth estate will not serve the truth impartially, I care not which media outlet obfuscates news, because we all are betrayed, if what is reported is biased and partisan in context, then the fullness of content is not revealed, only serving the purpose to deceive...
      ~ i.e. - - News that doesn't reveal the complete facts without biased partisanship is deception of the highest order, be it MSNBC, CBS, PBS, etc., or for that matter Fox.... IMHO.
