JUST heard NEWS.....on Fox News:

HUGE number of arrests (1,186) across 19 states......wrapping up a 3 1/2 year long drug investigation into "La Familia"......a Mexican Drug Cartel.
Also.....just heard the new unemployment figures.

So, THIS WAS NEWS.....to me anyway and where is the bias spin in it.....I don't know?

And.....I didn't hear ANYONE blaming the Libs and Dems. in either piece.

WOW!
How CAN this be possible on Fox, right?
Because they might just report on NEWS.......perhaps?

But, if FOX ever truly promoted Bush's agenda, I don't really know because I didn't watch Fox News then.
Bush's agenda SUCKED......but this administration's agenda does too, just a little bit more.
Hope all you Dems. are happy.......your idea of "fundamental change" is only an extension of Bush policy......on steroids.
Add his association with the likes of ACORN, SEIU, Van Jones and numerous other radicals who idolize Mao and yeah......I would say it's on hyper-warp speed into the abyss now.....for America.
Any other boilerplate far-right capitalized CATCH phrases you'd LIKE to throw into THAT off-topic post?

What's OFF topic about a lot of things I mentioned that were exposed by Fox News and nobody else?
Info. that directly pertains to what GB on Fox......has been reporting on for a while.
Nice try.

I don't think I have to watch it 24/7 (who does that anyway, don't you have to work?) or to live in the US. When the CEO admits that they tried to influence people's opinion on Iraq/Bush then how can you still say they are not biased or just a bit biased?
If the CEO of McDonald's tells you that their food is not healthy would you still insist that it is?
At least Murdoch has the gnads to admit it. Unlike the CEO's, GE, etc, who own the other news networks. They all do the same thing, yet they will not admit it.

Also if the CEO of McDonalds tells me that their food is not healthy, could I safely assume that Burger King, Wendy's and the like which sell nearly identical food, is also un-healthy?

You could use media that tries not to be biased. Analogy to McDonalds:
You don't have to go to Burger King if you don't like McDonalds, instead you could go to a restaurant that serves real, healthy food.
You could do this with news, too. Try a newspaper, or a news source from a different country or the several internet forums to get information.
There is more than just Fox or CNN or whatever else you have. Maybe it is not as "entertaining" as Fox, but news are not football or the newest reality show.

And no, not all media tries to manipulate. My news channel in my country did not try to convince me that it is necessary to support the US in Afghanistan. Neither did they condemn it, they just supported me with facts.

Jesus - stop capitalizing words. It's annoying.

The following quoted text is just a childish rant and really has nothing to do with the topic of Fox being number 1 in ratings (right up there with Miley Cyrus and Gossip Girl!)

btw - if Murdoch admitted to manipulating the news to serve the conservative agenda under Bush, he's still doing it under Obama.

Wake up, America!
