This is news? Blogs? Biased? From Fox!?!
Tell us, Eric. Who writes your screen titles? And are they completely lacking in shame, or self-awareness?
I guess Rupert Murdoch bought both their shame and self-awareness and threw them in a chipper.

FristDuh!
anything to the left of Pinochet is "biased" on Faux while they have Laura Ingraham fill in for "independent" O'Reilly
War on Blogs
Wow! Fox News telling the truth for once!
Should have known that it would be in a situation where they're shamelessly calling the kettle black.
It seems that considering Fox's stance on just about anything is a waste of time.
Granted, we ostensibly can choose which stories to read and follow (and hence ignore Fox News as we see fit), but their oversaturation in the blogs seems to frame the debate around attacking lies rather than promoting and developing constructive ideas. Criticism is good, but actually providing alternatives is necessary for any sort of payoff.
Ok, bluegal, Fox is biased. Got it. And I get the deep irony. But blogs are biased by definition so I hope you're not suggesting that its any 'less true' simply because Fox sez it?
(Wait. Did I just defend a Fox show?? Ooooo.)
Like Fox News would know anything about being biased... ha! Just another phony news station that lies to support Bush's phony war on terror. I now understand why Rush called the solders "phony". Anyone fighting or supporting a "phony" war must be "phony".
Netroots has "threads". Wingnuts have "strands".
And be careful what you say because the truth is libelous speech. All hail Faux Propaganda.
The onus is really on we viewers to watch the video and decide. Like that's so hard? I need Fux news to tell me what I think about what Rudy Giuliani said? Methinks NOT!!!
Hey, it must be "Fox Is Biased Day".
Heeeeere's Freddie!!
.
FOX Propaganda News is OVERRATED...
...AND is know to be BIASED!
.
That was kind of like watching the fox argue with the coyote about who should guard the hen house.
I general, blogs are as much of a joke as the MSM - or worse!
At least with blogs you know where they're coming from - but sadly, they're largely poorly written by people who know as much about grammar and journalistic honesty as they do about real politics in the US.
All info sources have their shortcomings - it's up to the poor sods like me to sift through the partisan mumbo-jumbo and try to come out with at least a little understanding of the truth.
:lol:
Johnny2Bad @ 6:
Biased, sure, of course they are. This is a leftie blog: what of it? Don't confuse bias with lie.
Clip should be added to any dictionary description of "pot calling kettle black."
How about the comment on the difference between blogs: Whether you're Newshounds hating on Fox news or Newsbusters and picking on the liberal bias that's out there." And then go on to discuss the relevance of TMZ (a celebrity gossip site)?
TRUTH has a liberal bias!
Haha!! Who needs comedy writers? We got Fux News.
Edwin @ 14:
Yep. And saying "blogs are biased" ain't a "lie" its a "Yeah? So, what's yer point?"
sadsack @ 16:
Now that's funny.
Fox News-Triumph of the Shills.
-GSD
Blogs are supposed to be biased! Duh!
Blogs and social action sites will continue to flex their new found muscles. Your phone calls and donations are working. Keep up the good work. Every election is a national election. Faux and CNN are history, don't listen to their lamenting cries of influence lost.
Who are any of us to argue with Fox News where bias is concerned?
Johnny2Bad @ 19:
Sometimes the truth is funny to those that believe in lies!
And coming up after the break - Pro-Wresting is fake!
Insider elite phenomenon? Bwahahahahahahaha. That’s the funniest crap I’ve heard (so far) today. Since I just read the blogs, does that make me an elite also?? Kewl. Obviously, these people are scared stupid of the blogs. I dare say that they will be unpleasantly surprised come November ’08 when the blogs prove their worth by getting out the vote. (filed under simpletons)
Except there's one huge difference here:
Blogs don't exactly try to hide their bias, at least not many of them. Most are pretty blatant with if they are conservative, liberal or whatever ya know?
Fox on the other hand...
It's fucking IMPOSSIBLE that they're THIS out-of-touch.
Everytime a newscaster/"analyst"/whatever tries to comment on blogs or the Internets, it reminds me of my grandmother talking up the wonders of her brand-new video player machine.
Get a fucking clue, Fox.
Yeah, as the saying goes (Colbert?), "Reality has a known liberal bias."
Sorry, Fox butt boy.
I admit blogs are biased. I specifically come to the blogs that I feel are biased towards the truth. But then truth does have a liberal bias.
FOX is State Sponsored TV <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Carl Levin was the Democratic offering to the FOX propaganda machine today.
[Deleted. Off topic and blogwhoring-Sitemonitor]
No Blogs are record keepers of Fox & cohorts misleading and false statements like Gibson keeping the lie alive , that Valerie Plame sent her husband to Niger , instead telling the truth that she was NOT a manager or supervisor and did't have the title to send him ANYWHERE .
EVEN , EVEN if she did that doesn't change the FACT , Saddam wasn't trying to get yellow cake , didn't get yellow cake from Niger and as the British press reported , there's a WAITING LIST to purchase yellow cake , that makes everybody wait for years .
Answer this ,does anybody really think if the media Murdoch labels as " liberal" (even NECON William Kristol admitted it's a MYTH ), was conservative and completely pro bush , Right wing Murdoch , Right wing Alies , and the rest of the right wing at Faux would be any less conservative then they are NOW . HELL NO , they'd still lean to the right with propaganda promoting Bush polices and supporting the republican party . The Faux flag waivers wouldn't have any reason to be really fair and balance , for any reason .
Can Fox look in a mirror and say HYPOCRITE???
sadsack @ 16:
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, right wing talking points have a right wing bias. Given that the right wing has far greater ownership of the media, TRUTH has little chance. In balance, why should truth have any inheirent advantage over right wing talking points anyway? TV is today's reality. Own the TV outlets, and you own reality. REALITY!
Who the hell is the blond bimbo? What an embarrassment, even for Fox. Her idea of a news blog is TMZ and I'm sure her favorite news show is "Entertainment Tonight." Further proof that Fox prefers their women blond, pretty and stupid. That seems to be the magic combination for conservative women across the board.
Answer this ,does anybody really think if the media Murdoch labels as ” liberal” (even NECON William Kristol admitted it’s a MYTH ), was conservative and completely pro bush , Right wing Murdoch , Right wing Alies , and the rest of the right wing at Faux would be any less conservative then they are NOW . HELL NO , they’d still lean to the right with propaganda promoting Bush polices and supporting the republican party . The Faux flag waivers wouldn’t have any reason to be really fair and balance , for any reason .
The "liberal media" lie can be put to rest by asking one question: If the mainstream media was really liberal, why would Republicans be trying every dirty trick in the book to ramrod more media consolidation down our throats? They want to make the liberal media even more powerful? Yeah, right.
Definitely pot calling kettle black.
Did anyone notice that the guy defending Rush Limbaugh combs his hair over like Hitler? All he needs is the toothbrush moustache that he probably attaches once he leaves the studio.
Best way it's always been said... "Facts seem to have a liberal bias."
Time for a Fox News Alert out of Seattle. Scientists have released a report claiming that the ground gets wet when it rains. This is sure to be a controversial topic so stay tuned to Fox News.
It would not have been quite so pitiful if they would actually talk about right-wing bias from time to time but I think that people at Fox News think that is an impossibility.
blogs . . . political blogs are biased?
you mean political blogs that are run by people who have a political ideology are bias?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
tell me it isn't so
stupid is as stupid says?
News outfits don't support Politicians. Not in the real world.
Politicians and parties are bad. Everyone understands this.
This is why FOX is so offensive in addition to the obviousness of their bias.
They are talking about "legally and ethicly" when talking about DailyKos but NOT about Free Republic
Dailykos would not allow Michelle Malkins home address to go up on it's site when she posted the addresses of the left wing she objected to
But the freep still has the home address of the Frosts up on their website. (I just checked)
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/10/10/9181/6512
SO WHO'S MORE REPONSIBLE AND ETHICAL?
Translation: BLOGS: beware of ACTUAL information!!!
Faux will do all it can to make people afraid of reading anything online lest the devil enter through their eyes.
Tomorrow uncle know-it-all will be here telling us why bloggers are all communists trying to destroy 'merika.
Since they're the experts on bias i guess they would know it when they see it.
all news is biased.
It's too bad we have to waste so much time monitoring an ignorant, misinforming entity like Faux entertainment but blogs are so much more. We have the power to progress entire societies and the human condition, something for profit corporate monopolies have no interest in.
TMZ is a blog? I thought TMZ's main competition was The National Enquirer.
Blogs are a real threat to faux news....
That's why the attacks....

You guys aren't translating the word "bias" from Wingnut to Moonbat. In Wingnut the word bias arises when personA, presumed to be a Wingnut, listens to a messsage from personB. PersonB is "biased" if personB is less of a Wingnut than personA from personA's perspective. Whenever a wingnut says, media source MMM is biased, what they mean is that MMM might be less right wing than they are, thus they cannot be trusted. Some examples:
WingnutA says: CNN is biased.
Here WingnutA is saying that CNN is less right wing than I am.
WingnutA says: the Weekly Standard is an objective and unbiased source of foreign and domestic policy news.
Here WingnutA has conceded that the Weekly Standard could be either as right wing or more right wing than WingnutA perceives even himself.
WingnutA says: Brian Williams is unbiased.
WingnutA has conceded that Brian Williams is at least as right as WingnutA is.
geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. . .
sadsack @ 24:
Oh, Paleeze. Have some more Koolaid. Its all a lie...You just like ours better. I know I do.
J.C. @ 36:
It's the token eye candy for the show. Her pitiful little comments included stock footage, which means her lines were rehearsed and probably spoon fed by the production staff. There's smart hot (think CBS's Laura Logan) and then there's stupid hot - like this blonde here. Stupid hot is kept on a short leash. While she was working on hair and make-up, the production team was working on how to work in a little bit of Entertainment Tonight into the show.
That was fascinating. There's a fleeting moment (at 2:55) where the host starts to wander towards an epiphany, then seems to recoil from it instinctually.
He comments that TMZ is the only blog that has become a TV show. His entire frame has been that blogs are, for the most part, a liberal phenomenon and their affect on the media is to push it to the left. But then he acknowledges that the only blog that's found corporate support (a TV presence) is a right-wing blog.
He's right on the cusp of understanding that it's not "liberal vs. conservative" but "populist vs. corporate"... that big money actively pushes it's agenda with the media it owns. Then he just pulls away and goes in a new direction.
It really reminded me of something Orwell wrote about doublethink being 'intentional stupidity' or something to that effect.
I didn't think that discussion was very controversial. And the screen title didn't read "beware of liberal bias". Of course, blogs are biased. They reflect the political views of the individual or community that produces them. Nothing wrong with that. Crook and Liars isn't biased left? LGF isn't biased right? That's actually one of the redeeming qualities of the blogs- you know what you are getting. Relax everybody. That was a fairly innocuous discussion by Fox standards.
blogs are biased?
Reality is biased and Faux News is pissed.
Show coming up on Faux: "Why is reality biased against the Repubs? We show you how can refuse to live in reality."
Johnny2Bad @ 54:
Now that makes no sense at all, if everything is a lie, then there is no such thing as reality. You are living in a dream world!
Wow... Somebody hand this journalistic genius a Peabody.
It just shows how out narrow minded those guys are. At least blogs don't pretend to NOT be biased.
My son has a hoodie with a pot and a kettle on it and the pot is saying "what in the fuck did you call me"???It's hilarious,and he wears it in public.
Of course blogs are biased.They are the distillation of truth as seen through the eyes and heard through the ears of the writers of said blogs.Right,left,middle of the road,with the odd hybrid thrown in for amusement.
Fox news is not biased,fox news is a tool of the man.And there's a big difference between speaking your mind and regurgitating propaganda.
Sock full of wood screws people...I'm tellin' you.
What do you expect?When you can't count on the public airwaves and the MSM for unbiased information...people search out info.Repugs have their sites and we have ours....it's just that the repugs have fucked up everything they've touched.....which makes them wrong....for the most part.Lets be honest.The Dems have fucked up too....not nearly as bad as the repugs,But none the less they have fucked up.Yet I find that we dems do a better job of policing ourselves than the repugs do.The repugs would prefer to sweep it under the rug and say it never happened.
HI ROCKETMOM......
What blatant hypocrisy. Of course, coming from the Whorehouse Network with no scruples or integrity, why should we be surprised? In reality, these circus freaks are afraid of blogs like C&L because it just might convince enough people that Fox is a blatant fraud---which it is. It is just a rebranded form of Pravda.
ONLY YOU, THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER, CAN FORCE CONGRESS TO IMPEACH.

I got a big kick outta the "throw(ing) spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks" comment.
The War on Christmas/Easter/Thanksgivin'...That bullshit originated where? Oh yeah, Faux news.
Boycott fox news and AT&T
Andy K @ 67:
Yeah. Faux News doesn't throw spaghetti against the wall...they throw (their own) feces.
Let's conduct a little test to see who is better served, people who read blogs or people who watch television. How about a quiz on current events?
There is a real anti-democratic character to all of this. That hack at the end saying that "this puts an awful lot of responsibility on the viewer of these things to decide what is actually true" (paraphrased) is a perfect example. Shouldn't people viewing, listening or reading news take responsibility for what they believe? Should people be wary of accepting anything as true anyways?
Of course most blogs are biased, but so is Fox News. I think what they are really worried about is that they realize that they aren't much different than a Vlog, but they wish to maintain the illusion that they are actually attempting to run an objective journalism outfit. I don't think anyone is buying it.
Damn right, they are! Blogs suck ass!! That's why I only read John Amato’s virtual online magazine…
AJ @ 72:
I think it's safe to say that all their regular viewers are lacking in responsibility...and intelligence.
“Blogs are Biased”?
So Fox now has a beef with NRA members blogs?
Your damned right blogs are biased. Read mine if you don't believe me.
Fox is so even handed it makes me blush just typing that they are fair and balanced.
All these people saying all these thing, it's confusing, who to beleive? Fox wants to make it easy, just beleive FOX NEWS! No thinking required! No need to formulate your own personnal opinnion based on the infinite content accessible on the internet! Just let FOX NEWS decide what images and videos you get to see, what you hear and how to interpret it!
GOD BLESS AMERICA-LAND!
That blond airhead chick cracked me up. "Der da have you seen da TMZ blog! Das a geeeaarrreaaarttt site to get dall your impotent gossip news." Yeah, great way to reinforce your cornering of the "As irrelevant as it gets on Fox News" market. The brunette from Huffington was sexy though, with that polite sarcasm. She told them how stupid she thought they were with style :)
sadsack @ 60:
Whoa there, Einstein. A little smaller thinkin would help. I did'nt say "everything is a lie"...I said "its" (politics) all a lie.
You said "truth has a liberal bias" which means you actually think our brand of politics has a corner on truth? Think again. To paraphrase Mark Twain: There are lies, damned lies and politics.
As for livin in a "dream world"...Uh yep. There you go again, thinkin there's actually only one reality, one history, one truth? Who's living in a dream world?
I am not biased.
"we all know reality has a liberal bias" -Steven Colbert
are they talking about blogs... or about themselves? though i persnoally enjoy the blogs and things like media matters. It has more content than context.. meaning i can judge what i'm looking at myself, and not listen to what people say about it.
Though I listen to see if I agree or disagree.
