Fox News according to Conservapedia

Fox News was started in 1996 by Murdoch and Roger Ailes. The two of them perceived a need for a news organization that offered more balanced reporting, one where the facts from all sides would be presented. Main-stream media "Political Correctness" was banished, with the news anchors calling terrorists, what they were (terrorists), instead of referring to them as "militants". As of February, 2007, polls show that over 20% of Americans say their main source of news is the Fox News Channel.
Fox News uses the slogan "Fair & Balanced", carries bipartisan shows like Hannity and Colmes, and daily guest pundits from all sides of the political spectrum. Fox News also is non-hostile to conservative and Christian values, viewpoints, spokesmen, and ideas. Fox News has gained the reputation for reporting the news in an unbiased manner and then allowing the viewer to decide; "We Report, You Decide" is another of their on-air slogans.

Special Report — Fox's most straightforward news show — more centrist than any of the three major networks' evening newscasts, all of which are left leaning. <2> The program is a model of smart news television.
And although it's true that the Fox's opinion shows (as opposed to its news shows) are, as they're supposed to be, frequently bombastic and opinionated, it's equally true that Fox's biggest super-star, Bill O'Reilly, is not a mainstream Republican, but a registered Independent. He regularly charges the oil companies with price-gouging and attacks big business for squashing the little guy. Who can say what host Greta Van Susteren's politics are? She mostly covers the crime-of-the-day stories. Geraldo Rivera has always been liberal on most issues, with the exception of being a strong supporter of the military and stiff penalties for sex offenders.
Liberal commentators go in and out of the Fox studios all over America, every day — some of them, like host Alan Colmes and news analyst Marvin Kalb, and Eleanor Clift affiliated with the channel. There's no doubt, of course, that Fox News is closer to mainstream America than CBS, ABC, NBC or CNN. But, after all, that was its founding mission.

1. Reads like satire, doesn't it?

[lazyriver]

7. It reads like a sixth grader wrote it, in my opinion.

The sentences are short and the style is choppy as if it was someone's very first book report. It's pretty much what I'd expect from a conservative website.

9. Most of their articles are written by Jubusite home schoolers from what I've gathered

Kinda sad really.

[lazyriver]

13. That doesn't surprise me and yes, it is kind of sad.

[Selatius]

2. Alan Colmes has a timid and weak persona compared to Sean Hannity's onscreen persona.

No contest at all.

3. lol - "stiff penalties for sex offenders"

How badly does one need to hurt oneself in order to get oneself to believe that crap?

[Drunken Irishman]

4. I love that 20% number, as if it's a good thing for their argument.

That means 80% of America does not get their news from FOX News.

5. 20% - Isn't that Bush's approval rating?

[Turbineguy]

6. Terrorists? Militants?

Didn't Reagan call them Freedom Fighters?

[lame54]

8. I like how Fox labels mercenaries as contractors...

as if they are building and not destroying

[YOY]

10. I've actually heard the arguement that since they are not technically "mercenaries"

because they are still "fighting for their own country"...if you are using the 1800s definition when it was expected that you fight for your own country voluntarily or post-draft and to ask money for it was beyond the pale of treason...

I'm dead serious.

11. A more appropriate name would be the Fox Ministry Of Propaganda.

This is quite humorous! :spray:

12. Oh, that's funny.

I needed a good laugh. Did Dennis Miller make this up?

:rofl: :rofl:

[XOKCowboy]

14. That's funnier than their TDS knockoff ever was...

It is satire isn't it? If it's not satire it's either delusion or a flat out lie. Oh wait. That's been the rightwing's strategy for a long time.
