Perhaps a glance at Reuters for a slightly more balanced viewpoint?

For the link challenged...

U.S. companies hired just 1,000 workers in December, the government said, sharply below Wall Street forecasts of a jump of at least 130,000. The unemployment rate fell in December to 5.7 percent, its lowest level in over a year, from 5.9 percent in November. But the decline in December was mainly because people dropped out of the work force.

So, you're admitting that their slogan of "Fair and Balanced" is just hogwash...they're not being truthful is 'OK' for you I guess...huh?

lars, Its an advertising slogan.

They are no better or no worse then the rest of the liberal media in as far as they provide what they deternime to be newsworthy, All they do is give a conservative spin rather than a liberal spin.

Being the only conservative national cable tv spinner makes them unique in the market.  I like variety and fox simply provides more variety for me.  Now I get a better "overall" view of what a larger and more diverse news media presents, rather than just a bunch of liberal news media competing against itself can provide.  For that I am thankfull.

With noted tabloid journalists like Bill (Inside Edition) O'Reilley  and Geraldo (I don't know where Al Capone is, but our troops are over here Saddam!) Rivera holding down the fort for Rupert (I invented tabloids) Murdoch's latest media prostitution experiment, it's no wonder that the weak minded flock to Faux.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

The anger is evident.  My point is made, again, and again.

Hatred for any point of view that does not reflect the self destructive liberal mindset has become a trademark for ignorance.

No, It's not hatred for anything....except a load of BS.
Example:


I just prefer RESPONSABLE journalism to YELLOW journalism.

American Media, Inc. of Boca Raton Florida is the publisher of Weekly World News as well as several other supermarket tabloids and does not have any apparent links to News Corp or Rupert Murdock.

Are you so tainted in your constricted belief system that you can honestly conclude with any detectable sincerity that the people who buy tabloid pulp are the "only" people that watch fox cable news?  

The people I know that watch Fox also watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC......the really engaged people, the people not afraid to think, gather their information from as many different sources as are available to them.  That Fox is in the mix, providing a decent conservative spin really pisses you off doesnt it.  Its a good thing though because it does expose your palpable ignorance.

I have never seen anyone ever buy that tabloid pulp.  Most people just snicker at its comic bafoonery.  You dont believe in bat boy do you?

He does not own WWN. It was an example of Tabloid Journalism. The very same TYPE of trash sensationalistic journalism Murdoch made his fortune from, along with pornography. Trying to defend Murdoch's integrity does not lend credence to your arguement.

The only palpable ignorance I can see exposed is not knowing when to use a question mark. Faux is the worst form of TV journalism, 0 integrity. Their Poster Boy O'Reilly has time and again been nailed for lying both outright and by omission. But, don't take my word for it.

Look at what noted journalist Bill Moyers has to say about O'Reilly.

This was not directed at you personally. Sorry if you felt it was. It was directed at the Faux audience in general.
