I don't have to prove it. YOU have to prove they're biased.
No, I have given evidence of FOX's bias in the form of a video segment. I have proven my point. The burden of rebuttal is now on you, sir. It's up to you to refute my claims. Otherwise, you must concede that I have offered facts you cannot, or will not, refute. That's how a debate/exchange of ideas works...
Quote:
Every Fox news broadcast I watched over a two-day period (Fox Report, O'Reilly, Hannity, Van Susteren, their morning program, all played the Hank Williams Jr clip you mention (comparing Obama to Hitler) and laughed about how ridiculous a comparison it was. Basically saying "this is why we don't take celebrity political opinion seriously."
You distort it to be completely opposite what I saw on every Fox program I watched. You allege that Fox got behind this comment. They sure as hell didn't.
Sweet! Then, I'll concede the point--.....right after you post some clips proving what you say.
The problem is, there are plenty of defiant, gloating and unemployed liberals out there who sound just like you, who demonize any conservative opnion and have all day to download video snipped into exactly the context they want it. I also think Youtube is less friendly to conservative opinion. I keyword O'Reilly or Fox News or Glenn Beck, and it's generally all videos of "so-and-such OWNS O'Reilly, Beck, etc" And if there are videos that portray them positively, they are buried and hard to find.
And his show from Sunday, Oct 9, 2011, I would love to post the complete show here if I could find it online. Because almost the full hour was devoted to the Wall Street protests. And despite that Geraldo was very fair and sympathetic to their cause, you could barely hear the interviews because a crowd of hundreds was vindictively yelling "Fox News lies!!" over and over through the whole thing.
Ironic, because Geraldo was doing his damndest to give them fair coverage. He also interviewed Cornell West, Tavis Smiley, and (the one I felt best represented the protestors) a writer for the Huffington Post whose name escapes me.
Again, Pro, you don't watch Fox, so how would you know one way or the other.
Fox every hour presents both criticissm and praise of the protestors in balanced commentary. I actually think this latest (Oct 9th) Geraldo At Large program was a full hour sympathetic to the Wall Streeters, despite their scorn of even liberal Geraldo. I hope someone posts it online for you at some point. Or maybe it's there and I just can't find it.
