Here is an interesting and scary thought.

I heard this on Fox News they were interviewing the CBS president and he said in 2000 during the presidential election 75 % of votes between the age 18 and 25 got most of there information for John Stewart. Strewart is a host on comedy central.

Wow, that is good news. That means 75 % of voters between the age 18 and 25 are better informed than people who watch Faux News.

Young voters have been getting the majority of their news from comedians for quite some time. It is scary how uninformed the majority of the electorate is.

Subdude, Didn't you see the latest media analysis by UCLA that showed Fox's news coverage was actually skewed to the left?

Subdude: You can't believe that comidia central is better then fox news or any other news outlet.

The UCLA study is garbage.
Here is a link that explains what is wrong with that study.

Yes, Comedy Central is a better source of news than Faux News.

What a joke I don't care what you think about fox news. To say that comedy central is better then fox is upserard. Comrfy central is not a news source.


I am not taking anything away from what John Steward does. Even thoght I don't think he is funny. Any comdian is doing just that jokes. They have no facts about anything.

Here is a question for anyone who does not like fox news.


Can you explain why you don't like them with out name calling any host, or they way they slant? Also explain to me if they are so bad why are they number 1.

First off, most of the shows on Fox News are not news shows. Fox airs political mud fights that are closer to WWE wrestling than actual political debate. It is impossible to learn anything substantive by watching Taliban and Colmes.

If you really want to find out what is wrong with Fox News the evidence is easy to find. I have supplied a couple of links.

There is also an enormous amount of evidence to show that Bill O’Reilly is an insane liar. Check out how Mr. Louffa/Falafel lied about Jon Stewart.

First I will not consinder these link crediable, they are hugely democrat sites. The are also so far one sided, just as you claim fox to be. I have learned a lot from fox, now some host on there are more conservities then others. This is ok but the news is the news. They do many talk show you are right. They also do a good number of news shows.

DNH:

If you ignore the facts that contradict the propaganda that Mr. Louffa and Faux feeds you then you must be happy to be brainwashed by the GOP. Keep your head in the sand.

Unknown said...

The fact is you do the same thing. If you only get the news for the links you gave to me then all you do is listen to the dems. I get my news from all sides.

I watch Fox , NBC, ABC, and otheres and go to many internet sources as well. I however will not go to ultra librial sites. If I did I would take if for that an ultra librial site.

I am a republican and more then likly will be for the rest of my life. I have already changed once, from 18-20 I was a democrat.from 21 to the well not quite 30 I have been a republican. I do not see my self changing again.


As I said before my news comes from many sources and I feel like I get both sides of the story.It is how you interpt a story.
