Related: About this forumFox News censors Democratic Convention
"Fair and Balanced" Fox News neglected to broadcast the speech given by Sr. Simone Campbell (Nuns on the Bus, nunsonthebus.com) at the Democratic Convention. Last night Fox News also failed to broadcast the DNC video of the little girl with the major heart problem/life time insurance cap issue. The little girl's mother also presented a memorable first-person account of how policies and programs such as the Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare matter to real people. Wonder what else Fox News has neglected to broadcast?

(186 posts)I was just checking out how other stations were covering the convention when I discovered that Fox News wasn't broadcasting Sr. Simone Campbell tonight or the DNC video of the little girl with the heart issue last night. "Fair and Balanced"!!

Yes, it pains me, but I've flipped the channel now and then this evening to see what FoxPAC-News is broadcasting -- I have yet to see anything but a constant diatribe of Obama bashing by their hired pundits.
I wonder if they will even show Pres. Clinton's speech in its entirety.

(186 posts)who watch Fox News are probably watching the convention on Fox. These are the people who need to see Sr. Simone speak and the "other" viewpoints. Unfortunately they will never get to see "Fair and Balanced" news reporting or broadcasting on Fox.

(904 posts)actually a good thing. The little girl with the heart condition was a touching story that reveals what cold heartless snakes the republicans are.
Go to hell GOP! Obamacare rocks!

(290 posts)I think it's unethical for FOX & CNN to decide what the public should see or not see. But I think it's true as mentioned earlier, FOX viewers particularly aren't going to vote Democrat anyway, nor would they have wanted to watch the DNC.
FOX viewers want to goggle over their favorite FOX commentator who by the way are all fighting to see who could bash the Democrats the most. The uglier the better. They are not true journalists, they are journalist actors vying for stardom

(186 posts)However I'd love to find a way to get this information out to the Fox viewers so they become aware of the fact that Fox News is censoring the coverage. Whether they believe it or want to hear it or not. They should know that the BS they are viewer on Fox News is in no way "Fair and Balanced"!!
