No the media as a whole are nothing bunch of cash grabbing donkeyes...

However, what he did totally crossed the line....if I was a viewer of his show I would be insulted.

remember the female reporter for one of the national morning shows reporting from a canoe floating on what was supposedly a deeply flooded street?

to single out FNC for this kind of error without recognizing that all news agencies do it is intellectually dishonest.

Sure other news programs are occasionally disengenous with reporting. But mistakes and embarassments...many with blantent political leans...are rampant on Foxnews. In as such, it is not intellectually dishonest in the least to single them out.

hahahaha, you can always count on Stewart to call out fox news' screw-ups.

My favorite is a segment he showed one time during the election. The first clip showed o'reilly b*tching about the huge liberal media and the fact that they controlled everything, then flash forward to another clip of o'reilly showing results of some polls fox news had run and how they showed that more people watched fox news than any other broadcast including national nightly news broadcasts.

One of my favorites was when he showed a clip of Bill O'Reilly getting mad at the media for talking about Palin's daughter's pregnancy and saying how they were being rude talking about it and saying it was a family issue and yadda yadda and then he showed a clip of Bill blasting Britney Spears parents and little sister when she was pregnant.

Occasionally on other news programs....that is the understatement of the year. Thanks for the laugh though.:good!:

One is biased and lies for the right,the other 2 are biased and lies for the left. Nothing more,nothing less. I'm a conservative,but I watch all the Networks,and the BBC,then I come up with my own view. I don't let Rush,Sean,Oprah,or Keith Olbermann tell me how to think.

I'm a man!!! I'm 40! :)

Does Dan Rather lying about the presidents military record and producing false documents count as disengenous? Was Dan Rather showing his political leans. I can assure you that you don't want to compare the way in which media outlets let there bias show

I really wish people would stop tying to say what these op-ed/talking head types churn out is "news". Hannity is and avowed an unrpentant conservative. OF COURSE he's going to have a bias. I'm a Vol fan. I'd like to think I can discuss college football in general with a level head but yeah, I'm biased.

The issue is when "real" news is corrupted by bias, like the aforementioned Rather incident or reporting that the Superdome had become Thunderdome during Katrina.

I agree with the majority of your post, I would point out that the things that happened in the Superdome did warrant the comparison mentioned above. It was simply horrific, everyone at every level of the government was unprepared.

MSNBC is pretty bad, but let's be honest here. Is CNN deliberately changing party affiliations of politicians caught in scandels to the other party on their graphics? Calling out "terrorist fist jabs"? Are they putting up graphics without running it through a spell check? Are they complaining about MSM on one hand, then showboating the fact that they get the most viewers on the other?

Outlets like Foxnews and MSNBC tell people what they want to hear, not necessarily what is going on.

I stand by my statement that Foxnews is notorious for embarassingly stupid mistakes and bias reporting. At least Dan Rather was canned, the blowhards at Foxnews are proud of it.

The difference is those blowhards on Fox aren't news reporters, they are commentators. Dan Rather had to be canned because he was entrusted to deliver the news in an unbiased manner. I will tell you that numerous people were involved in the story that got Rather fired and most of them are still on the pay roll.

MSN is just as notorious for bias coverage and reporting. CNN is better than both but still has a perceivable slant. Fox just gets most of the criticism and derision because they stand out, simply because they report with the opposite slant from the rest. Fox's actual news people are as impartial as any other in the business from what I can tell.

I will say this in response to the bold above, the reporting from the traditional networks on scandals involving democrats very often I hear no party affiliation mentioned, when a republican is involved I have never seen nor heard them omit the party affiliation.

I'm amazed at how many people use Jon Stewart and TDS as a news source. They use careful editing and very incomplete reporting to present "evidence" or portray a position.

While they don't purport to be a news source, many folks treat them as one - sad.

Yes, it is sad. It's like Fox or MSNBC to the nth power.

To me that reflects more poorly on CNN, MSNBC and Fox than it does the individuals. If people seriously consider a comedy show a more legit source of news than those stations, then that's probably on the stations for their ineptitude.

I see your point but this entire thread treats TDS as news since it uses one of their segments as "news" about Fox. Lending credibility to a TDS segment as evidence of anything basically elevates it to "news".

I stopped watching TDS a while back because it ceased being about comedy and turned into ideological commentary wrapped in comedy. In contrast, The Onion continues to put comedy first.
