Fox News doesn't lie?

[left-of-center2012]

Tucker Carlson is on C-SPAN at the moment discussing media. He says Fox News has one policy: "We tell the truth. We don't lie."

1. Some people say that Fox News lies... We will discuss after the break. Stay tuned.

EDIT:

Welcome back.
Does Fox News lie?
Controversy has erupted and we discuss the topic that nobody else is willing to discuss or has even heard of, because we are the only fair and balanced news-channel.
For discussion we welcome a republican politician, a guy from a conservative think tank, a blond bimbo and a democrat-ish guy who better plays along if he ever wants to appear on Fox News again.

14. Well done

2. which is a lie in itself. their 1 policy is likely - attack Democrats no matter what

3. Tucker is a pants-on-fire liar!

It doesn't matter though, because Fox Noose viewers believe that Fox is the only nooze channel that is truthful. I don't see them becoming enlightened in my lifetime.

Nope

5. I've noticed only Foxnews has to repeatedly tell people they don't lie and are fair.

Funny that. No other station feels the need to keep telling people they are 'fair and balanced'.

I wonder why?

Fucker Carlson is the poster boy for rich, white, elitist bigots. The man is literally a walking, talking dumpster.

7. You would think after a while the fact you point out would sink in with their cult-like audience?

My theory is that their audience knows they lie, do not care, and just want some more lies....they know denial of the lies is just more lies....and demand more.

It is how brainwashing works.

What puzzles me is how Fox is still treated somewhat like real news by other media...they even have a front row seat at WH!! WTF? They should be out playing in the Rose Garden....

9. I agree, they should be treated as the infotainment outlet they are and not real news.

Oh sure, they might actually report real news once in a while. I think you are 100% right, their audience does not care anymore about the obvious lies...they feed hate and fear like it was sugar to the brain dead fans.

My aunt is a perfect example, she was a pretty outgoing and optimistic person before she started watching Foxnews. That was years ago, NOW she is a very bitter person that is paranoid and grossly misinformed.

I think that is what Foxnews does to a person, turns them bitter toward the world...that is out to get them.

12. If nothing else worked I would consider posing as her by phone and get Fox off her cable package.

She can thank you later after she has detoxed.

[Rex]

13. It's too late, she already thinks I am part of the problem.

I am afraid she is too far gone, even her RWing husband can't stand being around her when she watches that poison.

15. Fox News dominates the ratings

"News" is a copycat business just like anything else.

[Fred Sanders]

16. Except what other business is enshrined in the Constitution? Media has a higher responsibility.

8. That is generous....are they counting cat stories and commercials as "mostly true"?

The whole fucking operation from top to bottom is a propaganda business, top to bottom, left to right, inside and out....it exists for only one purpose, generating hate and fear for political gain, nothing else.

You can not break a Day of Fox down hour by hour, Fox is only ONE thing, like iron, or hydrogen, it is an element.

"Propaganda" - 'Pr.'

10. Tucker's "Daily Caller"

Tucker was followed up by some journalist from Tucker's "Daily Caller" news site. This right wing wacko explained that Ted Cruz can run for President because (although Cruz was born in Canada) Cruz's mother was an American.
This wacko went on to explain that the issue with Obama's eligibility was the doubts expressed by many as to were Obama was actually born, who his parents really were, and the authenticity of that so-called long form birth certificate. Apparently these doubts have not yet been settle to the satisfaction of some.
