Does Fox News brain wash Americans?

Question

It's the only station that calls itself a News Station, then only gives one side to every story. It doesn't even try to hide its bias, but it calls itself Fair and Balanced.

It's the Number One News Station in America. What's up with that?

Answer 1

It's owned by Jews - enough said!

A good channel where you can hear the other side of most stories is Aljazeera in English.

Answer 2

Fox News is #1 for a reason - they deliver news and the public likes it.

Answer 3

Fox News is biased but I prefer their bias over CNN's a.k.a. PNN (Palistinian News Network). I cannot stand CNNs anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian bias it is just as bad a BBCs anti-Israel bias. I rather take a conservative right-wing Pro-Israeli bias than a left wing antil Israel bias any day.

The one thing you need to accept is that all news is presented from a particular perspective, bias and you will never get unbiased news.

Answer 4

No they don't brain wash Americans at least no more then your liberal stations.  My advise to you don't like Fox News then change the channel.  Bill can be harsh at times but makes a lot of good points on different subjects, lets face it your being bias.  Like I said if you don't like Fox then don't watch it.

Answer 5

Actually there was a study that said Fox News was the most balanced.  And Keith Olbermann is far more biased; he never has anybody on his show who will disagree with his rants.

Answer 6

I would love for you to explain an example.  A lot of the shows on the network (like any other cable news station) are opinion shows.

O'Reilly has been very fair to Obama, he sticks up for him all the time.  If you don't believe me watch the show sometime. Hanady and Colmbs, you have a liberal and a Conservative each given equal time.  Where is the bias??

EDIT

For someone with three degrees you are not very smart.  All the shows you are talking about are opinion shows.  Opinion, you do know what that means right.  Tell me how the NEWS, that is when the people NOT doing opinion shows are reporting the news are bias.  Simple question.

You are smarter than me??? If you don't know what opinion means then I don't think you are.  Tell me, what great things have you achieved in your life?  Anything,or do you try to act Big Time on yahoo answers?  I think you are hilarious!!

People like you are so funny, you start out by insulting me then act offended when I answer back, you are a wimp, plain and simple. And I find it funny you will not say what you do for a living. Are you just one of those professional students who think they are smarter then the rest of us who work in the real world?

And BTW way, local news is not on for 24-HOURS!!! When you have 24-hours of programming what else could you do idiot.  For someone who claims to be so educated you sure are stupid. Why are you not talking about CNN and MSNBC??? Because you agree with there liberal views then it's okay???

Anyway, I am done with you.  I have seen from your other questions  that you are nothing more than some idealistic student with no experience in the real world.  You got your degree so now you think you are some how more enlightened than the rest of the world.

So until you have to go out, raise a family, make a mortgage payment and actually contribute to society, you are not worth my time.  Have fun hugging that rainbow!

Answer 7

Fox News is just stupid right-wing propoganda,I am appalled by the success of their operation,I find their reporting and their fact-checking to be terrible.However,is there really any straightforward reporting anymore?

Answer 8

ehhhhhhhh yes :)

Answer 9

The CEO of Fox is Roger Ailes, who was formerly a media/image consultant for Republican Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. So there is no doubt that there is bias at Fox.

Answer 10

Do you think about the things you write or do you just like to talk randomly?

Of course Laura Ingraham is bias... she's brought on there for that very purpose... just as Juan Williams or Terry McAuliffe are for the opposing side.

Maybe you don't get how some political show formats work.

Answer 11

FOX is SO much more fair and balanced than the other liberal media.  They have people from both sides of the political spectrum putting their 2 cents in.  They report facts accurately, and I have yet to hear from you or any other far left biased individual to give one good example of them ever not.  And on the rare occasion when they do err factually they are the first to correct themselves.  FOX's ratings are so dominant for a reason bro.  They are a breath of fresh air after the years and years of blatant far left liberal bias the mainstream media has been shoveling us.  Perhaps you are among the brain washed because it seems common sense continues to elude you.

**edit**

Typical lib-tard response, not answering my question.  I didn't deny FOX leaned a bit to the right.  I asked for any verifiable examples where FOX was not accurate in their reporting or omitted any crucial fact that would otherwise totally change the reality of any event.

**edit**

"Studies have been done that show that Fox News invites 80% Republican Guests and the only Left Wing guests they invite on are soft spoken and agreeable."

LOL!  Excuse me?  If you have to lie to support your agenda then you have lost the battle my friend.  What studies?  That is straight fiction conjured from a mind that is only capable of seeing the world through a liberal prism.  Palease!! They are always inviting liberals on the show, probably more so than conservatives.  Just many of them cannot handle being asked the tough questions without a cue card in from of them and decline to appear.  And unlike certain media outlets like ABC, FOX does not edit interviews in order to distort the context of the interviewee.

Answer 12

No, they are not bias, it seems that they are because they deliver the right news as opposed to cnn and other local news stations, so all of you who watch the other news programs think that Fox news is lying and brainwashing when really the other news shows are the ones lying and brain washing.. George Bush didn't get re-elected for no reason.

Answer 13

its propaganda
