Remember all the Ron Paul signs in yards before the media started talking?

And, I didn't click your link.... I have it tivo'ed I'll watch it later, should be good.

Sharksfan

There should be zero tolerance for this by everyone - ESPCIALLY fans of Fox News.

I'm sure MSNBC, etc, has done similar things as well - and the other media outlets. However, any example of bias, carelessness, etc, should be met with a HUGE backlash by the viewers.

Always.

LotsOfZeros

Haven't watched the vid in the link myself but I really doubt this is the work of evil Sean Hannity but more likely the incompetence of some stupid studio engineer.

Intentional? Well then I wouldn't tolerate that. I doubt someone with a propagandist agenda would be so sloppy/blatant about their efforts.

Just watched it...... yawn.
Johnny boy is really scraping the bottom of the incident pool for a story now days.
Doesn't look like malicious intent. Just looks like an embarrassing screw up by some intern.

Saw this last night, thought it was hilarious.

Mill

Kind of reminds me on 9/12 when the crowds marched on the capital. MSNBC was talking about how violent people were and how people were carrying guns and they were racists.

MSNBC shows a guy dressed in khakis and a white button up with an assault rifle slung over his shoulder and a sidearm.

---
Then fox had the same footage and showed the man zoomed out a bit more than MSNBC and it was black gentleman carrying the rifles. Kind of debunks the whole racism card they were trying to make out the crowds to be, huh.

This is the biggest lolzcow I've seen MSNBC make out of themselves:

Anyone have anything better exposing the 'evil liberal media'?

Haven't watched the vid posted by the OP yet. Saving that for when I watch the full episode on Hulu.

AllBizNiz

Well, first of all, there's a huge difference between commentary and reporting on the news. Hannity would be considered commentary. If you look at the news, I think Fox is more than fair on reporting on a very wide variety of different stories. I've never really seen them scrub a particular story out completely.

For instance, Fox was about the only cable news network to report on how well the stock market was doing during the Bush years. The liberal media didn't touch this story. They also ignored any significant advances that were made in Iraq at the time.

LotsOfZeros

Sure, whatever.
The real issue here is who cares if it was the 9/12 rally or the healthcare rally a month later. The fact remains this kind of attack on Fox is proof the liberals are running scared that conservatives are finally mobilizing (something conservatives are typically not very good at).

Tea Party movement, 9/12, Michelle Bauchmann, Sara Palin, et al scares you Obamites to death thus your attempts to try to marginalize conservatives with trivial B.S. mistakes in hopes of diverting attention away from the issues.

Screw up or not, either way you look at it, conservatives were out in full force sending messages which makes sheeple like yourself shudder in fear.

And YOU brought attention to it.

Conservatives everywhere thank you.

UnripeArbiter

Scared?....They're all laughable things, (and some are actually a result of conservative fear 9/12, Tea Party, I could argue Palin) Stewart simply points out more laughable things. (He is a comedian after all.)

I find Sarah Palin the most laughable, however. QUITE the character.

Laughable, laughable, laughable.

You're scared all the liberals are having a grand old time every night with Jon Stewart.

papajohn56

Don't blame Fox News, Hannity is just a tool. Fox News actually fact-checked Sarah Palin, and owned her:

Marginalization.

Palin has a ton of conservative support whether you want to admit it or not. But then, you're only ONE vote anyways.

People still watch mainstream media?

hellblazer

Wow, that's outrageous! That's even worse than saying Malik Nidal Hasan wasn't a terrorist!

hellblazer

They 'owned' her only if you believe Politico's assertion that she was blaming the Dems. She never mentioned the Dems. Did you forget she's no fan of the Repubs either?

thunderlips

i just dont get it...

if you hate fox news, then dont watch it. DONE

I am a lib, and i don't like Fox news, so i don't watch it. Why piss yourself off?

I can see why conservatives don't like MSNBC, because its biased for us.

Fox is simply better at it. (they are smart enough to use hot chicks)

UnripeArbiter

She has tons of conservative support.....admitted. (That didn't win her last election did it?)

Yes, I am one vote...so are you.....negated.

Sometimes marginalizing someone is good for mankind.....lol (and for the Alaskan wolves)

Simple. Keep your enemies closer.

She was definitely implying her blame of the Dems.

PeerFly

If they didn't want it to be all "Fox News" then the channel wouldn't be "Fox News". They could put their biased commentary on regular Fox (not sure how long that'd last though).

All networks have some biased agenda, that's clear. But, why would the entire Obama administration deliberately ignore Fox News if we both know that all networks can have leaning agendas? It's because Fox News IS the right.

I find it funny when I flip through the channels and see Glenn Beck, with a Fox NEWS logo on the bottom left of the screen. Or Hannity, or Fox and Friends, or O'Reilly... shows who all claim they are part of a network that is "Fair and Balanced" or "The Most Powerful Name in NEWS".

Don't forget that Chris Wallace hosts "Fox NEWS Sunday" who leans right on just about every topic he discusses. Remember the Clinton interview? His numerous appearances on the Howie Carr show (conservative talk radio).

They are also about the only cable news network not to report the positive attributes of the current administration. They obviously cannot twist factual news stories, but they easily dodge and duck positive stories that have to do with the current admin... or press conferences.

Fox is good when it talks about Malik Hasan, I agree.

thunderlips

They are really your enemies? how? because their beliefs are different than yours? Wow...

LotsOfZeros

Yeah, so much for the promised transparency.

UnripeArbiter

Well yeah.... but it's not a "wow" thing.

They're not my "enemy" simply because of their beliefs, beliefs are benign on their own. It's the actions that their beliefs cause them to take that I have a problem with.

UnripeArbiter

He is being transparent (def: free of deceit).

He wants to avoid the channel that will commentate and twist everything he does and say.

If he wants to be "free of deceit" why would he want things he says and do twisted and shat onto the public's face.

PeerFly

Just the opposite, and it's not an attack. It's pointing fingers and laughing at a scared political party and their idiotic news network. This is nothing new coming from Fox news, but it never gets old either.

Dude, they create the rallies because they don't agree with the decisions being made in Washington. There were all types of democratic rallies during the Bush years... but you probably wouldn't know that since the only news outlet you obviously watch is Fox News.

Using your logic, he would be required to stay away from MSNBC and the rest.
His lack of transparency is evident in the fact that he can only hang with reporters that are going to lob him softball questions as he runs for cover and lets Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod spin it all out for him.

Assumptions about me eh? Those are very dangerous.
I'm willing to give you a pass on this one though since I got a good laugh when you used 'probably' as synonymous with 'obviously'.

I forgot, she doesn't like real conservatism, she'd rather push a moral agenda. Better keep forcing that abstinence "sex ed" in schools so our 17 year olds don't have babies. Wait, what?

Huh? MSNBC is nothing but commentary, and CNN is just horrible. Fox News has their share of shit obviously, as well.

If you think Obama is being transparent, you're blind. 5 days of public comment on bills my ass.

No, instead let's hand out free condoms and give classes on fisting. Heaven forbid we advocate that 15-year old girls not act like sluts, right?

Or how about you leave it to the parents? Man, what a novel concept. Mandated abstinence education has done nothing but increase the teen pregnancy and STD rate. Either teach everything, or teach nothing. Teach abstinence along side birth control and condoms, or teach none of it at all.

They don't think of things like that.

It's not in their Biiible. ( I love the line... "Keep your rosaries off my ovaries!")

hellblazer

Right, those same parents that are out working while the state is busy indoctrinating students from birth till they're spit out as college-educated Marxists. Parental influence is gone, dude.

And that's a brilliant idea. Hand out condoms while simultaneously telling them not to use them until their wedding day. You're quick to pump out anti-abstinence facts(which I would add are highly suspect), while at the same time suspiciously quiet on sex-'ed' effects. Shouldn't you be shouting its successes from the rooftops? Where are the stats on its' effectiveness? Quit the moral equivocating and make a decision. It's an either/or.

thunderlips

Fisting class? where do i sign up?

HAHAHA thats a good statement.

liberal leaning news media staffs their newsrooms with Skittle Poppers. That Maddow chic is gawdy as hell. But they couldnt hold their 1 million viewers a day if they didn't cater to that crowd.

"Fisting [forcing one's entire hand into another person's rectum or vagina] often gets a bad rap....[It's] an experience of letting somebody into your body that you want to be that close and intimate with...[and] to put you into an exploratory mode."
