Steve Doocy Defends Fox News Against Distortion With...Distortion!

Annie, aren't you afraid to watch FOX? I think the latest is that Obama is tracking people's choice of newsbroadcasts...and anyone caught watching FOX will be sent to a FEMA camp. Anyway, I take acception to the comment above mine...using woman and wus in the same sentence is uncalled for.

I particularly enjoy being able to watch news instead of having to hunt down good text. For things I want to know, for things I'm concerned with, Fox reports on these issues. If other people aren't concerned with them, that's their business. I'm personally fed up with the 100 vs. 1 news game where Fox is supposedly the enemy, yet champions of Obama, taking their orders from the administration, are somehow legit. I appreciate knowing that a taxpayer-funded organization has A LOT of shady individuals working for them. I feel a little more comfortable with the fact that someone has the good sense to tell the public that some of the czars being appointed have views that are radically different from most Americans, including my own and what I would teach my children. It feels like I'm actually awake for the first time in a long time when I see people actually questioning the insane amount of spending instead of just making excuses for its lack of effectiveness or blaming someone else for the mess past while refusing to look at the here and now. I'm overcome with pride when I see regular American people fighting for thousands upon thousands of farmers in CA who've been shut out and left to starve because of a minnow. I enjoy seeing regular Americans protesting huge government without having to hear them being called racists and rednecks and ignorant. I want to know "why" this administration's policies are being implemented, without the "Bush" excuse, and where the money's going and what else they're planning to spend and tax and how much control the government is actually looking to take in America. I'm glad that someone is out there informing me that the administration's proposed healthcare, supposedly needed IMMEDIATELY, will not go into effect for years, and that they're only doing this to juke the numbers so Americans won't freak out about trillions of dollars. Once upon a time, this information was known as "NEWS." Unfortuantely, I can't get this information on television news unless I watch Fox. When I switch over to other networks, they're simply doing stories about Fox doing these stories, and offering commentary about how biased Fox is. Or they're championing the president's policies, no questions asked. If Fox is distorted, I'm all for it, especially compared to other options. If I don't want to hear the President bad-mouthed for no reason, then I won't watch Hannity. Go Doocy

We watch FOX so you don't have to. lol lol

It was an editor of Newsweek that said "Obama is like God", so I would take my Newsweek with a grain of salt. As much as they try to paint Fox News as being slanted (which is different from distorted - distorted would be misrepresented) they are slanting the other way. What, in your estimation, is the difference? You like their slant and you don't like the slant on Fox. Who cares what Steve Doocy says or even what Newsweek says? The plain truth is that Fox reports the stories the White House doesn't want you to hear and even the other networks came out and said it was wrong for the White House to believe they can decide which organization is a news organization and which is not. Some of us want to know what they would cover up. In fact, reporting what government would wish to hide from you is the highest duty of a free press. Anyone supporting the governments war on ANY press organization is un-American, simply because suppression of free speech is un-American.

Again, they are insulting their audience by assuming no one will check what they say and will believe every word without any verification; nor will they listen to those who DO verify because they are "anti-Truth" purveyors who only want to persecute the "Truth-tellers". Believe it or not, this is exactly what a cult to which I once belonged used to teach when others would present proof of their lies - members were to only listen to and read "approved" media and literature (published by the church in question) and to never read or listen to the "anti" church propaganda because it would only ruin their faith. Therefore, I stand on my position that the GOP, at least the more extreme right fringe (often the most vocal) has become a non-Christian cult preying on marginal Christians and using God to rein in believers to their perspective. OK - I know that sounds whacko - I admit it. But, the parallels to what I lived and witnessed I just cannot ignore. Now, here is a quote from the actual Newsweek article showing EXACTLY who was called "un-American" - and it sure as hell wasn't Obama!! What's most distinctive about the American press is not its freedom but its century-old tradition of independence—that it serves the public interest rather than those of parties, persuasions, or pressure groups. Media independence is a 20th-century innovation that has never fully taken root in many other countries that do have a free press. The Australian-British-continental model of politicized media that Murdoch has applied at Fox is un-American, so much so that he has little choice but go on denying what he's doing as he does it. For Murdoch, Ailes, and company, "fair and balanced" is a necessary lie. To admit that their coverage is slanted by design would violate the American understanding of the media's role in democracy and our idea of what constitutes fair play. But it's a demonstrable deceit that no longer deserves equal time. http://www.newsweek.com/id/218192

I really don't understand why FOX is whining about Obama not being on their channel. I haven't heard to many nice things said about the President on FOX News and remember the old bat that joked about him being killed. Are they that stupid at FOX and can't figure out that going to be bashed isn't at the top of the President's list?

doocy should have been a woman, no offense but he's such a wus he's pathetic and to think he's from my hometown, maybe thats why i moved to florida. mr. rogers with a tie.

Well if a left wing hate blog says it then it MUST be true. Man, I should just give up on everything but liberal blogs. They are clearly the best source of information. Oh I know Annie, you're going to say you just went there for the video. That video doesn't prove anything. There's nothing on that site that shows he's wrong. Even if their claims are true, and they offer no proof of that, then the worst they could claim is that he misspoke when quoting one out of a dozen examples.
