News: Why don't honest journalists take on Roger Ailes and Fox News?

I feel sorry for you.

don't feel sorry for me, im not the brainwashed progressive moron here.

That's the problem with you Republicans. All you know how to do is call people names.

It goes both ways bill. Every other article on current flip flops your suggestion that one side uses name calling as their way of ending the conflict. Some of the liberals on this site are real quick to call you a fucking moron.

I went to one of the best journalism schools in the nation over 50 years ago and we were taught the basics of journalism and there wasn't any political ideology involved whatsoever. BTW: MSNBC spends a great amount of time simply correcting the lies perpetrated by Fox News.

Ok you said 50 years ago. I think that falls into the era of unbiased journalism.

I agree, but I still would like the mainstream media to call out Faux News for the phony news organization they are pretending to be.

bill, i have the greatest respect for 'journalism', with the standards set by 'uncle walter'.
and i agree with what MSNBC is doing...but you have not made a point (outside of the lack of real journalism), as to why any network, news agency, etc. should spend resources
(time, money) correcting, or even commenting re" Fox", any more than would take on the 'cartoon network'. actually, this would only aid Fox by causing others to spend
on calling for the truth....Fox would love to see others use assets for this.

Ryan: My problem with Fox is NOT what they report, but what they DON'T report. I have seen a story carried by MSNBC, CNN, the three major networks and most of the reputable print media to the letter, but when the Fox copy editors get through with the same story they sliced and diced it into something that is so far from the truth it is sickening. Their motto is We Report. You Decide. I think it should be: We Distort. You've been had.
Just speaking as a former journalist with over 40 years experience in the news business.

wow 40 years.
what is your professional opinion of when msnbc doctors video of a black guy at a tea party to make it look like an angry white racist? Solid jounalism or propaganda?
Or when msnbc drags palin's family thru the mud when they are guilty of nothing -- all the while letting john edwards and his mistress and love child go without mention ---
Both of these were Fox correcting msnbc's "lack of real journalism".
When you say you have a problem with what fox doesn't report -- you are being disingenous and you lack cred.
In reality you hate fox because that's what your progressive masters have told you to do.
what a tool!

I have always dealt in facts and you would have to prove to me what you said MSNBC did before I would believe it. If you are a fan of Fox News, I feel sorry for you.

Did it happen? Yes. Was it reported accurately by MSNBC? Yes.

The ONLY people who have professional masters are Republicans and that is why Rush Limbaugh calls his followers "dittoheads," an acronym which means you can't think for yourself and you have to have someone like Limbaugh or the racist goons at Fox News think for you.

msnbc reported that it was white racists with guns(an attempt to malign tea partiers)
It was actually a black guy with guns so NO they concealed that from the public in order to MAKE a story to talk about.
I don't know about you but i dont think it is the job of a so-called news org to be making stories to trash people who don't agree with their lord barak.
msnbc's owner jeffry immelt earned a place in the administration for using his network to slant stories in obama's favor.
Get Your Head Out Of The Dirt.

You reveal your ignorance -- so called "followers" of limbaugh use the term ditto as a substitute for saying "love your show", it has nothing to do with being a duplicate of rush limbaugh. ancient proverb "a fool answers a matter before hearing it out"
Apparently IM not the one letting people tell me what to think.

Did you look at the video. Those are white guys carrying guns not a black.
