Spinning The News About the NewsWhen it comes to deceptive smears against FNC, it's hard to top the
Outfoxed gals. But not impossible. With J$P Video!
If there is anything that this site hopes to do with its debunking of
lies and slanders about Fox News, it is to instill in the thoughtful reader a
reservoir of healthy skepticism. Nothing the Fox haters say should be taken at
face value. For one thing, the people out to smear Fox frequently have no idea
what they're talking about. Misinformation is rampant (see Wikipedia), even among those who claim
expertise: e.g., the newshounds (another fine product of the Outfoxed
syndicate):
If being clueless about your subject matter is bad business for a writer, deliberately misinforming them is worse. They use imputation: Fred Barnes - apparent old-school racist said, "They [the GOP] were willing to nominate a black, (my emphasis) but always in a race that was not winnable." Fred's words have been doctored: he was quoting an oft-heard criticism of the GOP, and then proceeded to debunk it. In other words, the opposite meaning of what was claimed. The newspooches have also resurrected the time travel trick: During the FOX & Friends program this morning, the interchangeable hosts made a big deal about the last minute Republican "surge" in the polls... However, a FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll of likely voters, covering Saturday and Sunday, November 4th and 5th, shows the Democrats leading nationally by 13%! FOX News apparently can't even bring itself to quote its own polling numbers if those numbers predict a dismal election day for the GOP. The Fox poll did not come out until after 11:00 am, more than two hours after Fox & Friends went off the air. The curs are slamming FNC for not reporting news that hadn't happened yet! The first reporting of this poll was at 11:20 am [QuickTime video]: The "Fox doesn't cover" meme is always good for a smear...or an embarrassment: Fox Does, but Doesn't, "Cover" the War Crimes Complaint Filed Against Donald Rumsfeld in Germany If you actually accept what the mongrels claim, you might believe that it wasn't covered on the Fox website. And if you lack that healthy skepticism, you might swallow the notion that none of this happened: 
Finally, if you think we're picking on the bowsers too much, we'll throw a little light on mediabistro's tvnewser. He has a disconcerting habit of posting tidbits and screengrabs sent to him by rivals of FNC. Here's something from just today:  This damning comparison is, once again, not what it seems. The MSNBC frame is from the top of the hour: a report on the fighting in Iraq. The FNC frame is from the end of the hour: a cut-in from Shep previewing the Iraq/US summit in Jordan. It was not two versions of "the war in Iraq" because these were two different stories! Whoever created this choice bit of propaganda could have used something from earlier in FNC's hour, when they were covering the fighting in Iraq. Perhaps this is why they didn't [QuickTime video]: Hmm. Someone was too eager to besmirch Fox to make an honest comparison. And was someone else too ready to disseminate fraudulent spin to check out its validity before posting it? posted: Wed - November 29, 2006 at 05:20 PM j$p send Fox Fan The mendacity of the mutts and their dim following is sadly expected. TV Newser however has been on the rise on the Fox-Hate-O-Meter for a while now, celebrating meaningless "victories" like CNN or MSNBC beating Fox News in Nielsen ratings *in a key demographic* *for a few minutes* on rare occasions. It's a testament to the author's anti-Fox News stance when trite items like that attain article status.

Nothing from Media Matters. What a surprise. Guess he's not up to the task. November 29, 2006, 6:50:39 PM EST – Like – Reply Fox Fan The articles on this site regarding NH are all valid proofs of the lies they have to make up to paint Fox News as unfair and unbalanced. If johnny posted dozens of these a day you would still accuse him of "attacking isolated claims". Unfortunately it's impossible to post each and every malfeasance without a team of people considering the video editing, composition, and real life all taking up time. For the same reason, MM can be ignored as it would take infinite lifetimes to post opposite POV videos debunking all of their newsclip posts. NH is small cookies and easy to bake compared to financed and staffed MM. Keep trying Tom, nobody likes a quitter!

One of the few times they have done so was in response to one of the articles on this site.

They GREATLY aid the cause of Al Qaeda terrorists by helping to (as defined) "demoralize and paralyze their enemy (us) through attention from the media". And that's exactly what Fox does with its 24/7 terrorism fear mongering, to the extent they warp reality to attribute even ridiculously unrelated economic and business event, as illustrated in Cavuto's assertion (as but one of many, many examples), to terrorists! Fox "News" - especially Cavuto, O'Reilly, and Hannity are clearly Al Qaeda terrorists best f'n friend! They've actually morphed, since 911, into the propaganda wing for Al Qaeda! No other "news" network helps Al Qaeda terrorists spread fear in the United States more than Fox "News". It's to the point that one wonders if Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, Fox "News" fouth largest voting shareholder, isn't linked Al Qaeda and funding Fox as an Al Qaeda propaganda network, helping terrorists to spread fear in the United States. Is Fox "News" the propaganda wing of Al Qaeda? Are people like Hannity, Cavuto, O'Reilly, actually Al Qaeda members and, themselves, terrorists? ** * December 1, 2006, 8:57:04 PM EST – Like – Reply johnny dollar Too bad you wrote all that and couldn't even tell the truth.

"Fox News greatly aids the cause of Al Qaeda terrorists by helping to demoralize and paralyze democrats (your us) through attention from the media."

Just WOW. ** * December 1, 2006, 10:12:47 PM EST – Like – Reply CancervativeAreNowIrrelevant Neil Cavuto, the managing editor of the Fox News Channel's business division, explained why stocks fell at the opening of his show today: Well, Fox on top of your money. Under attack. Cyber terrorists targeting the capital of capitalism. What if they succeed and shut down your bank or the stock market? Stocks taking a hit [live shot of the "big board" at the NYSE]. Stocks slip after Al Qaeda cyber threat revealed. The opening graphics and music played and Cavuto began speaking again: THIS IS A FOX NEWS ALERT! The day after the threat, the sell-off. Stocks falling after Washington warns of an Al Qaeda jihad on your money. With that, "senior business correspondent" Brenda Buttner gave a two minute report on why we should all be terrified. The weakness in the manufacturing index wasn't mentioned during the show nor was the possibility that the Fed might hike interest rates in order to control inflation -- this on Fox's "premiere business news" program. The use of the word news in conjunction with Fox is becoming more absurd by the day. Fox isn't even pretending to pretend anymore. http://www.newshounds.us/2006/12/01/ignoring_reality_neil_cavuto_claims_stocks_fell_today_due_to_an_al_qaeda_jihad_on_your_money.php#more ------------- Fox "News" - helping to spread the fear of terrorism on behalf of Al Qaeda to paralze and demoralize the United States... Neil Cavuto. Doing his part for his terrorist masters to "paralyze and demoralize" the enemy of Al Qaeda, the United States, by bending over backwards to ingnore the "common knowledge" reasons for market fluctuations, instead creating creative false causalities that link these fluctuations to his master, Al Qaeda. Neil Cavuto - Al Qaeda propagandist. Fox "News" - the Al Qaeda news channel The Conservative Media, in general, ditto... Thanks for helping the terrorist to spread terror Fox! I'm sure Bin Laden appreciates it. Fits in well with their stratergy... Bin Laden: "You're doin' a heck of a job helping us to spread fear, Neil.... Heck of a job..."

Why does Fox/Neil choose to report it this why when all other business analysis attribute the slip to concerns over the manufacturing index and possible rate hikes by the Fed? This is one of many examples that makes Cavuto an absolute laughing stock. But why does Cavuto/Fox continually GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to create false causalities that attribute bad economic news to terrorism as they simply don't report or under-report the actual reasons? Some people say it's because Fox /wants/ to help Al Qaeda to paralyze and demoralize the United States. Is Fox the propaganda arm of Al Qaeda? Is Cavuto a propagandist for Al Qaeda, charged with spreading fear and magnifying the effects of terror?

December 3, 2006, 9:36:35 AM EST – Like – Reply Iriseon Liberalism is a mental disorder. Read "The Looming Tower." It has been out for some time now that Al Qaeda has had it's eyes on disrupting the dollar, especially through hacking financial institutions, targeted to escalate for sometime around 2009. So far, it's only a strategy, and one that got a slight bump in the news cycle recently for whatever reason; it was a blurb on radio the other day too. Regardless, the vitriol and obsessive hatred by the Newshounds is indicative of most liberals I see nowadays. Most is not all, but it's far too many. When 98% of the media are liberal, you would think they would be happy....but extremists are never happy until they have 100%. December 22, 2006, 1:06:57 AM EST – Like – Reply |
