Description:

According to a a new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Fox News viewers know less than those who don t watch any news.  The poll asked New Jerseyans about current events and confirmed what many consider to be the obvious: Because of the controls for partisanship, we know these results are not just driven by Republicans...

Now, Dr. Cynthia Boaz at Truthout.org has doubled that list and have provided evidence of the techniques used by Fox News. Panic Mongering. This goes one step beyond simple fear mongering. With panic mongering, there is never a break from the... Read More Before launching Fox News Channel in 1996, FNC President Roger Ailes was a media strategist for Republican Presidents, Nixon, Reagan and H.W. Bush as well as a producer for Rush Limbaugh (see GOP Connections to Fox News page). It should be of little surprise to learn that Ailes would like nothing more than to push GOP propaganda onto...

Read More FOX News parent company, News Corporation, is embroiled in a phone hacking scandal that has shone a spotlight on the detestable practices its owner, Rupert Murdoch, promotes as journalism.The ever-growing scandal has shut down one newspaper, led to multiple arrests and numerous resignations in the UK, and an FBI investigation into allegations that News Corp. staff may have sought to hack the voicemail of victims of 9/11 and their families in the US.And now a committee in the UK parliament has issued a report blasting both Rupert Murdoch and his son James (also an executive at News Corp.) for their complicity in the scandal, concluding that Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise stewardship of a major international company. It s time for the FCC to take action. The law requires that the FCC consider the character of media owners when deciding whether to grant, deny or revoke a broadcast license.Tell the FCC: Enforce the law. Revoke the broadcast licenses held by Rupert Murdoch s media empire. Click here to automatically sign the petition.We already knew that the hacking activities at the center of the scandal were not limited to a few rogue reporters, but reflect systematic orchestration from the highest levels of News Corp. This new report, however, is the clearest evidence yet that the rot went all the way to the top.With the law saying that the FCC should consider Murdoch s character, this recent report detailing both his willful blindness that contributed to the phone hacking scandal and his lack of candor in his testimony about his role, ought to enough to call the issue into question. As Melanie Sloan, the Executive Director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) — the nonpartisan watchdog group — aptly put it, If [Rupert and James Murdoch] are not passing the character standard under British law, it seems to me that they are not going to meet the character standard in America. Tell the FCC: Enforce the law. Revoke the broadcast licenses held by Rupert Murdoch s media empire. Click here to automatically sign the petition. CREW has already sent a letter to the FCC demanding that the commission revoke News Corp. s broadcast licenses.But the commission is likely to flout the law unless significant public pressure can be brought to bear.We need to speak out.Remember, Rupert Murdoch may own a massive media empire, but he doesn t own the airwaves — we do. And the 27 broadcast stations Murdoch owns are only allowed to use the public airwaves because the FCC has made a determination that it is in the public interest that they be given licenses to do so. The deplorable actions Murdoch has condoned in News Corp. go to the very heart of whether or not we can trust his company to act in the public interest. News Corp. has crossed a line and it s time for the FCC to take action.Tell the FCC: Enforce the law. Revoke the broadcast licenses held by Rupert Murdoch s media empire.

Unfortunately, that s not what Obama said While Obama did say, I wasn t born with a silver spoon in my mounth , Doocy added on, unlike some people while making it seem like a dig at Romney.Romney took Doocy s word for it and had this to say in response:Well, you know, the President is really taking aim at anybody he can find these days. In fact, in my case, I m certainly not going to apologize for my dad and his success in life. He was born poor. He worked his way to become very successful despite the fact that he didn t have a college degree. And one of the things he wanted to do was provide for me and for my brother and sisters.I m not going to apologize for my dad s success, but I know the president likes to attack fellow Americans.The damage wasn t isolated to Fox News The Washington Post, New York Post and Ann Coulter all furthered the spread of misinformation   Since Obama has made similar statements (without unlike some people ) in the past, there is little reason to believe it was a dig at his opponent, unless you re paranoid and/or delusional.White House press secretary Jay Carney addressed the made-up quote:And I suppose anybody who thinks it was a reference to them might be a little oversensitive, because — unless they think that when President Obama said it three years ago it was in reference to themDoocy issued the following statement about the misquote: Last week, President Obama talked about not being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. That was interpreted as a big dig at Mitt Romney. When I was interviewing Governor Romney on this show, I asked him about it. However, I did some paraphrasing that seemed to misquote the president. So to be clear, the President’s exact quote was I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. And I hope that clears up any confusion. Not exactly an apology or even admission of guilt he doesn t denounce the interpretation of the actual quote as a dig at Romney he only claims that his paraphrasing seemed to misquote the president. No, Steve, you did misquote the president. You were wrong to do so.SourceShare this article I ve received notification that FNB has been hacked and that malware may have been distributed as a result.

Once the network determined that Mr. Muto was the main culprit in less than 24 hours, he was suspended late today while we pursued concurrent avenues. We are continuing to explore legal recourse against Mr. Muto and possibly others.SourceShare this article Sources are frequently cited on FNB, but whole stories are rarely lifted from other sites, if ever Tradition will be broken as the following needs to be shared far and wide! This article comes from a Fox News employee:I always intended to keep my mouth shut. The plan was simple: get hired, keep my head down and my views to myself, work for a few months, build my resume, then eventually hop to a new job that didn t make me cringe every morning when I looked in the mirror.That was years ago. My cringe muscles have turned into crow s feet. The ten resumes a month I was sending out dwindled into five, then two, then one, then zero. No one wants me. I m blacklisted.I work at Fox News Channel.The final straw for me came last year. Oddly, it wasn t anything on TV that turned me rogue, though plenty of things on our air had pushed me in that direction over the years. But what finally broke me was a story on The Fox Nation. If you re not a frequenter of Fox Nation (and if you re reading Gawker, it s a pretty safe bet you re not) I can describe it for you — it s like an unholy mashup of the Drudge Report, the Huffington Post and a Klan meeting. Word around the office is that the site was actually the brainchild of Bill O Reilly s chief stalker (and Gawker pal) Jesse Watters.The Nation aggregates news stories, gives them provocative headlines, and invites commenters to weigh in. The comments are fascinating actually, if you can detach yourself enough to view them as sort of the id of the conservative movement. Of course, if you can t detach yourself, then you re going to come away with a diminished view of human decency, because HOLY MOLY THESE PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THE BLACK PRESIDENT. I m not saying they dislike him BECAUSE he s black, but a lot of the comments, unprompted, mention the fact that he is black, so what would you say, Dr. Freud?The Fox Nation moderators, realizing that they had a problem on their hands, did the absolute bare minimum, hiring one or two college kids to comb the comments for the most egregiously racist postings, and putting in automatic text filters that blocked various key words. Of course the intrepid commenters quickly found ways around these filters using letter substitutions and spacings, which is why many comments complain about our n@gger president and the M u s l i m in the White House. So the site has become the seedy underbelly of the Fox News online empire. It s surprising that we even have an online empire, considering that our fan base is mostly septuagenarian technophobes.The post that broke the camel s back might be familiar to some of you, because it garnered a lot of attention and (well-deserved) ridicule when it hit last August. The item was aggregating several news sources that were reporting innocuously on President Obama s 50th birthday party, which was attended by the usual mix of White House staffers, DC politicos and Dem-friendly celebs. The Fox Nation, naturally, chose to illustrate the story with a photo montage of Obama, Charles Barkley, Chris Rock, and Jay Z, and the headline Obama s Hip Hop BBQ Didn t Create Jobs. The post neatly summed up everything that had been troubling me about my employer: Non sequitur, ad hominem attacks on the president; gleeful race baiting; a willful disregard for facts; and so on. It came close on the heels of the Common controversy, which exhibited a lot of the same ugly traits. (See also: terrorist fist jabs; Fox Friends madrassa accusations; etc.)The worst thing about the Hip Hop BBQ incident is that we didn t back away from it. Bill Shine, who is a rather important guy—sort of Roger Ailes main hatchet man, and the go-between for Ailes and most of the top talent—bafflingly doubled down and defended it. The story still exists on the Fox Nation site, headline and photo montage intact, to this very day.That was it for me. It wasn t that the one incident was so bad, in and of itself. But it was so galvanizing, and on top of so many other little incidents, that I guess it just finally pushed me over the edge.So here I am. And I come bearing gifts. The video above is of Mitt Romney and Sean Hannity bantering before the taping of an interview for the Hannity Vegas Forum in February. Of note: Romney professes his and his wife Ann s well-known love of horseriding, praising the qualities of the Austrian Warmbloods that his wife rides—the are dressage horses, he notes—while maintaining his own preference for the smoother gait of his own Missouri foxtrotter. Now there s nothing wrong with Mitt and his wife loving horseback riding. But remember this video next time Romney attacks Obama for golfing. The inherent elitism and snootiness of golf is NOTHING compared to competitive horseback riding. And I think Mitt loses points with the GOP base for his correct pronunciation of dressage. To GOP-voter ears it sounds not only gay, but even worse, French.Elsewhere in the video you will see the two men discussing the possibility that this very footage may one day be leaked, as they warn one another against primping too carefully. You don t want to have John Edwards moment, Hannity says. Did you see that? Romney replies: Oh, yeah I saw that. It s one thing to do it for a second. It s another thing to do it for an hour. (And it s quite another for Newt Gingrich s wife to groom him like a circus walrus.)Later, Hannity s producers ask him to change his necktie mid-interview. Here s a little TV trick for you: The show was splitting the Q-and-A over two nights, and they wanted to make the second night look like a fresh, new encounter rather than a rehash from last night. So they made sure to change Hannity s tie lest eagle-eyed viewers spot the repeat. Romney, to his credit, refuses to play along. Offered a pink tie, he says, I m not going all Donald Trump today. That day, Trump had announced his endorsement of Romney. In the portion of the interview that was broadcast, Romney said he was grateful for Trump s support, and that he is a man who se created a lot of jobs, and he shares my concern about China. So why not just leave Fox News? you might ask. Good question! I ve asked myself that same thing many times. And I am leaving. Sooner rather than later, I m guessing. But I can t just leave quietly, can I? Where s the fun in that? So I m John McClane-ing this shit. I m inside the building, crawling through the air vents, gathering intel, and passing it along to Carl Winslow.(Note: Please don t misunderstand, and take my Die Hard metaphor as a threat of violence. Like most left-wingers I abhor actual violence, but am still hopelessly enthralled by the Hollywood machine that glorifies it. Also, that was a 20th Century Fox movie. Synergy!)SourceShare this article Fox News anchor Heather Childers, who co-hosts Fox Friends First and America s News Headquarters, wants to know whether her Twitter followers think President Barack Obama threatened to kill Chelsea Clinton in order to cover up his illegitimate birth certificate Heather Childers conspiracy theory tweetThe post claims that Obama s 2008 campaign threatened people to keep the candidate s birth records a secret, and suggests that Obama associates were involved in the murder of Arkansas Democratic Party chair Bill Gwatney, and told President Bill Clinton that his daughter Chelsea would be next if he opened his mouth. From that point on, the Clinton s [sic] remained silent about Obama s birth certificate or lack thereof, the post said.SourceShare this article What do President Obama, Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh have in common?They re all ignoring a massive public outcry against media consolidation by favoring new rules that would allow conglomerates to gobble up more local media across America.Please click here to help stop media consolidation now it ll just take a second.By signing this letter to the Federal Communications Commission, you re joining thousands of people who have already told the agency to stop this latest attack on independent media.I am joining with tens of thousands of Americans to urge you to foster more independent media outlets across the United States. We need your agency to expand media ownership opportunities for women and people of color. Given our nation s diversity, we need more independent stations to provide communities with diverse programming and a range of viewpoints.More media mergers translates into less of the news and information people really need. Please abandon any proposal that would leave communities with fewer voices and fewer choices in local media.And the public response has been overwhelming: So far more than nine out of every 10 comments to the FCC opposes letting broadcasters snatch up even more media outlets.President Obama was once an outspoken opponent of media consolidation. In 2007, he said that protecting local, independent and diverse media was critical to the public interest. But times have changed. The president has failed to speak up as his FCC has sided with Murdoch and big-media lobbyists in a push for unchecked consolidation.Last year, Obama also stood on the sidelines while his FCC approved the Comcast-NBC Universal merger — one of the largest and potentially most disastrous media mergers in history.Now Obama s FCC is on the verge of weakening the rule that prevents one company from owning both broadcast stations and newspapers in the same market.Murdoch has long lobbied Washington for this change, which would allow News Corp. to buy up even more local television stations and newspapers in markets from New York City to San Diego. And it would give Clear Channel, Earth s largest radio conglomerate — and the company that syndicates Rush Limbaugh s program to more than 600 stations — the power to dominate the dial even more.Please click here to tell the FCC to side with the people, not Big MediaNobody — not Rupert Murdoch or other powerful media moguls — should be allowed to monopolize our print and broadcast media and crowd out independent voices. But corporate special interests have prevailed up until this point, dictating ownership rules to the FCC.And the results are appalling: People of color own just 3 percent of our country s full-power TV stations and just 7.7 percent of all radio stations. Women own just 6 percent of all broadcast outlets.By creating real limits to media consolidation, the FCC can pave the way for the kind of independent media that a healthy democracy needs. But the agency needs to hear from you first.Please click here to urge the FCC to fight the big media barons and oppose further consolidation.Share this article Fox News opponents have often cited evidence of racism and race baiting by Fox News personalities. While this has been contested, despite the ample evidence, by Fox News fanbase, their unabashed hatred and violent rhetoric, such as the death threats against atheists, cannot be denied. Once again, they have come to Fox News, bearing gifts of hatred, this time toward Trayvon Martin, the 17 year killed by George Zimmerman for nothing more than walking down the street with Skittles and a bottle of iced tea, while black.The following comments are from Fox News viewers and display their affinity for hate, violence, fear mongering and blatant racism. It s sickening, to say the least.What a shame—a tragedy, really— because the dead lil’ gangsta could’ve used “‘A-FIRM-TIV AK-SHUN” to go to kollige an play footballz and make lotsa cash munny!”[…]Fast and Furious didn’t work to pass new gun control so now Eric Holder will try the race card.[…]No matter how crime figures are massaged by those who want to acknowledge or dispute the existence of a Dirty War, there is nothing ambiguous about what the official statistics portray: for the past 45 years a large segment of bIack America has waged a war of v i o l e n t retribution against white America.[…]Zimmerman was attacked by the man and defended himself with a gun. Zimmerman’s wounds were verified by police.[…]17 = child. LOL!!!!!!Let the LIB word games begin.[…]Yet the “justice department” refuses to prosecute any voter intimidation that involves a blac k as the intimidator.[…]Why should anyone care about this kid? Because he is of color? People don’t value kids period. They are property. BTW, I am a conservative that cares a great deal about kids. We follow hundreds of cases each year, many white babies and children, none of them get attention. But he does??[…]Zimmerman felt threatened by Martin’s gang’s actions…this could have possibly lead to these terrible circumstances. Gang violence MUST BE STOPPED OBAMA![…]Blacks can do no wrong, period! That is the DOJ’s excuse for becoming involved. 50+ years of being told they are special and entitled and the gov’t’s only focus is to make it so!![…]In any event, it appears to be a case of one sc u m bag Cuban-type (Zimmerman) offing some scummy b l a ck kid (Trayyy-Vonnnn)…in some trash neighborhood….but now, because the dead kid’s a kneegrow, we have:the BIG BAD FBI on this “important” case…andthe usual BLACK-RADICAL-PROTESTERS who can’t mind their own business![…]Gated communities exist because people are afraid…. negros thrive on crime…Look at our prisons.[…]Need that too….But Negr0s only have their welfare checks….and in any event can’t follow rules[…]What time do the riots start? Gotta get my popcorn and munchies ready for the “hood” burning![…]Funny you never see them rally against the drug dealing murderers that control their neighborhoods. LOL!!![…]How does anyone know what this 17 yr old said, Most likely he threw the race card out ” you stop me because I*M B L ACK” and then became threatning. The media alway plants the seed of doubt when when a B l ac k is sh ot by a caucasian[…]maybe his gang brothers incited violence too?[…]How’d the kid get into the “gated” community in the first place?[…]Them monkeys can jump![…]This is going to be a tough case. gang violence is hard to prosecute. martin’s gang may even want to retaliate. this is scary[…]Let’s find out why the “po’ baby” was REALLY there![…]The little thug ghetto monkey should have been home doing his homework, not out gang bangin.[…]I’m just glad Zimmerman didnt miss and hit an innocent bystander.[…]THIS IS PURE RACIST!! When do you ever see the DOJ investigate the death of a white child??[…]This is pure B.S I want to see the kids police record even if something is expounged also why was he removed from facebook it says account terminated.Why because his parents are trying to cover his tracks just like if you hit a bus they see Dollar signs.People have dragged data about Zimmerman out where is the kids past.Don’t say he was a good boy prove it.Ask yourself what is more likely to happen any 17 year old kid when you ask a question.A smartass reply I have never and I mean never seen a teenager run unless he did something wrong.I guess no crinimal has ever cased a place when they went to a store.It takes me aback the way all these facts are quoted by people who read one story on a issue.[…]Who says his gang wasn’t hiding near by?[…]he could be a good kid, but being in a gang doesn’t help his case[…]An unfortunate death, but when will DOJ investigate the death of a Caucsasian?[…]Here we go again— a LOCAL law enforcement matter (no federal issues) is being hijacked by the FEDS because the alleged “victim” is bl a c k! We all KNOW this kid was up to no good and now he’s feedin’ worms. Too bad-ha ha ha![…]Last night on CNN Anderson Cooper kept referring to zimmerman as white when he knew he was Hispanic I wonder why[…]maybe then the kid was not bIack maybe Hawaiian like tiger woods then we can say s p i c s h o o t s Hawaiian[…]This has Bl ack racist Holder and his all bl ack racist “DOJ Civil Rights Div” written all over it.[…]Crack Skittles the new disguise[…]Skittles actually has a couple slang meanings. Could be referring to recreational usage of Coricidin. Also refers to a male getting lipstick marks from young ladies on the member. Taste the rainbow..[…]You think the DOJ or main stream will report zimmerman was Hispanic not White[…]That is all it was — just another n i qq er. No loss[…]He was slinging crack.[…]Is tea and skittles slang for guns and crack.[…]Skittles is actually slang for recreational usage of Coricidin.[…]This is what happens when you join a gang. kids need to learn from Martin’s mistakes[…]They should have a hunting season in Florida for these drug crazed gang members.[…]This could have had a tragic outcome. His gun could have jammed. Whew![…]At least he didn’t chain him to the back of his truck?!?!?[…]How long will it take to get all of those little blk curly nappys out of the White House bedding so that the next POTUS can sleep without that Creepy Crawly feeling .[…]The picture is of an innocent choir boy designed to evoke sympathy for the “victum” and justify the skewed actions of a corrupt department of justice.[…]the b!ack community has created a sense of fear with the excessive amounts of cr!me and v!olence and the glamorizing and glorification of cr!mes and v!olence through c rap music (term used lightly) and most are rude, crude, nasty and give others the tough guy BS attitude.You people (term also used lightly) made your beds and now have to lie in them………don’t be angry with us or blame us you did this all on your own.[…]Hunting, maybe thinning the herd…[…]It is obvious the un-civilized B!ACKS who dwell in the greatist nation on earth have never wanted to be part of the TEAM, they CRY and P!SS and MOAN at every given oportunity about fairness and equality, While lining up for the free ride at welfare.The United States is cursed with these baboons, Who will never gain the ability to stand up and make it on their own without our help.They are the eternal retarded stepchild , needfull and helpless until the end of time.[…]Now the family of the kid has lost there way out of the ghetto.[…]ANOTHER TOOKY WILLIAMS, ABORTED.GOOD SHOT ZIMMY. lolThis is nothing but liberal racism at it’s worst.  If this kid had have been white, the DOJ would never be involved.Here is a crazy thought.  Let’s all wait until the law enforcement officers do their job, then we can judge.  I know, what a silly idea.[…]niqqers don’t walk, they shuffle, and how was doing all of that one handed, cause we know the other hand was holding his clown pants up.[…]Oh stop it with the “skittles” BS and trying to make him sound like some innocent little toddler riding on a little red tricycle.[…]Oh swell, I knew it! Yes, here comes The Great Negroid Racist Al Sharpton himself to try once again to extract ghetto justice on a white person by being judge, jury and executioner…just the way liberals like it.[…]what did Martin’s gang tattoos say?Share this article The Fox EffectUsing leaked internal emails and Roger Ailes’ own writings, including a never-before-seen private letter, there has never been a more compelling summation of Fox’s dangerous and destructive role in our democracy.Based on the meticulous research of the news watchdog organization Media Matters for America, David Brock and Ari Rabin-Havt show how Fox News, under its president Roger Ailes, changed from a right-leaning news network into a partisan advocate for the Republican Party. The Fox Effect follows the career of Ailes from his early work as a television producer and media consultant for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush. Consequently, when he was hired in 1996 as the president of Rupert Murdoch s flagship conservative cable news network, Ailes had little journalism experience, but brought to the job the mindset of a political operative. As Brock and Rabin-Havt demonstrate through numerous examples, Ailes used his extraordinary power and influence to spread a partisan political agenda that is at odds with long-established, widely held standards of fairness and objectivity in news reporting.Featuring transcripts of leaked audio and memos from Fox News reporters and executives, The Fox Effect is a damning indictment of how the network s news coverage and commentators have biased reporting, drummed up marginal stories, and even consciously manipulated established facts in their efforts to attack the Obama administration.Click here to get your copy of The Fox Effect! Rick Santorum accused Fox News of shilling for Mitt Romney during an interview with Fox s Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday morning.SANTORUM: The man has had a ten-to-one money advantageHe s had all the organizational advantage. He has Fox News shilling for him every day no offense, Brian, but I see it and yet, he can t seal the deal because he just doesn t have the goods to be able to motivate the Republican base and win this election.Kilmeade defended his network, saying Romney s campaign team answered interview requests, and that he had tried to get Santorum on his show for at least three and a half months, with no response.KILMEADE: I ve just got to take you on Fox News shilling for Mitt Romney, 24 hours a day, I totally disagree with that. You can feel the way you want, I m just telling you there s no way I agree with that.Sure, Santorum may be a bit whiny, and obviously Kilmeade is going to defend his employer and coworkers, but it is definitely noteworthy when a Republican presidential candidate calls a right wing media outlet out for their obvious bias.SourceShare this article
