And in this comic, Glenn McCoy compares the major news networks to ugly, pockmarked prostitutes. He implies that Fox News is also a prostitute, albeit a high class, expensive one. Barack Obama cannot afford the sexy Fox News loving he so desires, as indicated by his bitter expression.

Glenn McCoy: Always classy.

This “libs” point is that radical Republicans like McCoy think that anyone who isn’t parrotting their talking points is “on the other side.”

When do you start smashing windows and burning books, huh?
Roger said, about 1 month ago

It is funny how the libs were never outraged by things like Bush being compared to Hitler and no matter how disgusting, how degenerate any attacks made against conservatives, they didn’t have a problem, but anyone dares to say or show anything even slightly negative about their Obamessiah and like their extremist Muslim friends they are ready for Jihad against the conservative infidels!

Obama Akbar!

This cartoon is simple truth. Why can’t Leftists handle ANYTHING true?

Every time I’ve watched news from one of the networks depicted in the cartoon, I could both see and hear the liberal bias. It was always “Abortion good, pro-life bad. Gay good, anti-gay bad. Palestinians good, Israelis very VERY bad. Women good, men bad. Demoncrats very very VERY good, GOP (insert 100 verys here) bad.” Etc etc ad infinitum glory glory hallelujah world without end amen.

It’s the above-depicted media that always runs straight to a feminist nutjob for commentary on any “woman’s” issue. Straight to Jesse Jerkson for commentary on any race issue. Straight to the ACLU for commentary on anything involving religion and government. Straight to some atheist “scholar” for anything connected with religion. Straight to some militant Darwinist for anything involving teaching Intelligent Design.

YES THERE’S A LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS LEFTIES.

Nice reliable sources, Anthony. At least we know there’s no bias in Media Matters, MoveOn and Think Progress.

cdward said, about 1 month ago

Well, at least McCoy is consistent. Other than using a disgusting image, I can’t expect him to hold any other views.

However, the only way to take Fox seriously is to assume that everyone else is lying. There is a condition for a person who thinks they alone have the truth while everyone else is deluded or out to get them. Just saying.
scottfreitas said, about 1 month ago

Oh sure, cdweird. Because the majority is ALWAYS right. Thus Christianity is false because most of the world isn’t Christian. And Hitler was a great leader because most of Germany loved him. And there is no liberal media bias because most of the media is liberal.

Logic is to Leftists as Blood is to Squeezed Rocks…
Jim said, about 1 month ago

Hahahaha ! Ewwww . Hey ! Wait , where’s MSNBC ?
danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

I even reject the idea that you have to assume everyone else is lying. That presupposes that the news Fox News reports is fundamentally different than the others. It’s covered with a different tone or from a different angle, but it’s the same news. This is the problem Fox faces and the false claim leveled by the Obama administration. In coming up with examples, an administration rep pointed to Beck and Hannity. They’re not news. They should be looking to actual news reporting by such people as Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith.

Of course Wallace was criticized for (shudder) fact-checking an administration official, but Smith has earned praise even over at Huffington Post. The Wallace incident shows that what Obama really doesn’t like is a news organization with the guts to ask questions and research facts. Check out Anita Dunn’s comments about how the Obama campaign controlled its message in the media. He doesn’t like questions. He just wants media to be outlets for his message.

rgray222 said, about 1 month ago

Mccoy has really nailed this one. It is so blatant that the mainstrean news is in bed with Obama. It is a shame that the bed was not big enough of get the W. Post and the NY Times in it. The 2008 election process really showed Americans where our press is in this country. A lot people say that Fox news is the same as everyone else’s news just delivered with a different slant. That is not true at all, Fox news reports stories that the mainstrean media simply ignores. The perfect example is the Van Jones story. Granted Fox has a conservative slant but thank God someone does because all the media in this bed report the news with a liberal slant.
av8tor said, about 1 month ago

Without Fox you would never hear who the mao quoters and commies are. Obama wants you watch only the news as he wants it shown..so sit down and shut up so he can continue to have his state controlled media brainwash you.

scottfreitas said, about 1 month ago

itisme proves yet again that the devil always accuses others of doing exact what he is guilty of.

LIBERALS have wealthy elitist masters.

Conservatives (and Bible-believing Christians automatically get thrown into this category) have God, History, and independent thought.

Every K-12 government skewl in America preaches the religion of the Left, solidly uninterrupted all throughout every child’s development years. Yet somehow a few people resist all the propaganda and get accused by the left of having “elitist masters” rofl.

It’s so ironic!

Anthony 2816 said, about 1 month ago

Oh dear, I dared to point out Fox’s far-right bias, and all the righties now have their panties in a bunch!

All those replies, and yet no one could refute any of the stories I listed.

I suppose I could have tried to use right-wing sources, but oddly enough, they tend to favor the far-right bias of Fox.

My favorite is the one where Fox presented a story as their own, when in fact it was straight from a Republican talking points paper…and they even copied the typo.
Redeemd said, about 1 month ago

Wow, the trolls are out in force today.
danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

Why would we even bother to read articles from MoveOn or Media Matters? And Fox Attacks? Gee, I wonder where they’ll come out on the issue. Even from titles, I have an issue already. Who are “Fox News viewers?” This goes back to what I already stated about opinion shows getting lumped in with news. I’ve seen similar “studies” in the past that include viewers of Hannity, O’Reilly, Beck, et.al., with those who watch the news programs and simply call them all “Fox News viewers.”

Someone who views the channel isn’t the same as someone who watches the channel’s news programs. And viewers’ misconceptions don’t necessarily equate to misstatements by the source. Besides, the statements I’ve read calling different groups “misinformed” usually rely heavily on potentially biased information. I’ve read plenty of statements from factcheck.org that I consider blatantly incorrect interpretations of facts (and this on points across the political spectrum).

So no. Nobody bothered to refute statements from sources we consider completely unreliable to begin with. That’s not the same as not making valid points. Go back through McCoy’s comics and see how many comments from liberals simply call them typical McCoy trash without ever making a cogent point. See how many (i.e. few) times the liberals actually respond to a conservative claim with logic and reason instead of ad hominem attacks, childish name calling (how many times have I seen “Snotty?”), and lame attempts to change the subject.

You even acknowledge, circuitously, the reason we don’t read your sources. Oddly enough, all the left-wing sources favor the far-left anti-Fox fervor.
Anthony 2816 said, about 1 month ago

Dan asks “Why would we even bother to read articles from MoveOn or Media Matters?”

That would be to gain some insight into the far-right-wing bias of Fox News, Dan…and I’m not talking about all their even farther-right-wing Hannity types.

You can wait for people like Limbaugh to call out Fox News, but don’t hold your breath waiting.

What’s so difficult to address, for example, the fact that Fox News’ Jon Scott read a GOP release as “news”, even quoting a Wall Street Journal article from “12/19/09”, exactly the same typo as in the GOP press release? It’s all there, including screencaps, in my 9th link.

So far, there has been no explanation, rationalization, or even denial…just a refusal to even look at it.

Instead, every rightie response here just remained blind to the obvious, and refused to address it. I’m sure Fox appreciates viewers who keep their head in the sand like that.
wbr said, about 1 month ago

2816 thanks for all nutwing sites
danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

You miss the point Anthony. I don’t believe that I can get any insight from sources as biased as MoveOn or Media Matters. I wouldn’t dare ask you to read Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin under the assumption that you’d gain insight on the left. I think we both would know better. You wouldn’t consider them reliable, and I don’t consider your sources reliable.

I would bet Limbaugh has said some negative things about Fox News, but I wouldn’t know since I don’t listen to him. Nor do I watch Beck, Hannity or O’Reilly.

It would seem that you ignorantly assume all conservatives get their news and opinion from far-right sources, but that’s simply not the case. I listen to talk radio, but I listen to a far-lefty in the morning, an Obama-voting middle-of-the-roader over the noon hour, and a middle-right guy who was none too fond of Bush in the afternoon.

Nobody’s asking for a right-wing source attacking Fox. But how about something a little more reliable, like the AP?
dtroutma said, about 1 month ago

The real problem is McCoy and the crowd who can’t listen straight totally ignores is that none of those supposedly cowtowing to Obama actually do. The subtle language used in all the networks to present every Obama story as a “Have you stopped beating your wife” type of interrogatory is totally missed. At least I’ll give FOX credit for openly distorting or flat lying about the facts.
Herbabee said, about 1 month ago

Oooh, colorized for extra vehemence!
Anthony 2816 said, about 1 month ago

No, Dan, you’re missing the point. Fox’s reading of the Republican press release, uncited, as news, including the typo, happened.

You seem determined not to face that.

All you can do is say that you refuse to believe it, even though the site I gave you shows the screen caps.

Want some more sites to read about it? Google “fox news republican talking points”. Then come back here and tell me you refuse to look at any of the million-plus hits because you’re still afraid to address the issue, that Fox, without citation, read a Republican press release as their own news story. (And that’s just a single example).
danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

Exactly. It’s just a single example. So I suppose you’ve dismissed CBS completely over that phony document regarding Bush’s National Guard tenure, right? I mean, they took a memo that was immediately shown to be false by numerous outlets (after airing) and did a whole piece on it, never questioning it.

And if you can find a reliable source so easily, why not just post it here? I’m not going to do the ground work to prove your point. Give me a reliable source and I’ll likely believe it. But an instance of bad judgment, or plain bad/biased journalism still doesn’t impugn a whole network or every story that network runs. If it happened, I’d also like to know the story behind it. Did a Republican strategist give Ailes a memo and he agreed to put it on air, or did some lower-level person slip it in and hide the source? Was there trickery by the Republican party? Did a reporter read it somewhere else where the source wasn’t attributed? Did someone simply neglect due diligence? You’ve given who, what and where, but what about the all important why and how? Speculation doesn’t count.

It’s incredibly asinine to turn to “You can’t face that” when I’ve already told you I haven’t even looked at any of your sources. I never said I refuse to believe it, I said I refuse to read your links to far-left sources. And it may well be true, but I’m not taking it at face value from your claim without a reliable source.
Anthony 2816 said, about 1 month ago

It’s a single example of several that I originally posted…none of which you addressed.

It’s just more head-in-the-sand.

Look, humor me here. Go to: http://mediamatters.org/research/200902100019 and you can watch the actual Fox broadcast. (Or do you think MediaMatters would go to the trouble of hiring Fox’s anchor to make a phony video?) Note the date on the Wall Street Journal reference (December 2009)…the same typo from the Republican press release.

On the other hand, why bother? You’ll just say it doesn’t matter.

“It’s incredibly asinine to turn to “You can’t face that” when I’ve already told you I haven’t even looked at any of your sources”

Actually, it’s incredibly accurate. Refusing to look at something and not facing something is pretty close to synonymous.
believecommonsense said, about 1 month ago

well, here’s a respected source on Beck. They’ve only examined some of his claims, so it is not complete. Beck claims found to be:

True 0
Mostly true 0
Half true 1
Barely true 2
False 2
Pants on Fire 1

Great record for you slavish, non-thinking dittoheads.

danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

BCS, like I said, I don’t watch Beck or listen to Rush, so I neither doubt what you said is true, nor care. Beck isn’t news.

Anthony, you tell me there are a million-plus hits and you come back with a Media Matters link. Are you lazy, or do the other sources not exist? Do your own leg work.

And the verbs may be synonymous, but not the objects. I refuse to face your source, not your fact. And while one definition of “face” means “look at,” it sure seemed you were using the definition that means “deal with.”

Does even your Media Matters source give why and how? I noticed you didn’t respond to that part. I never said it’s not true. I wondered what the rest of the story might be. Without why and how you only have 2/3 of a news story.

At this point, I don’t really care. You post blatantly biased sources and are roundly criticized. You come back complaining that people are criticizing the sources, but not responding to their claims. I tell you I don’t know or care what they claim because of the source, and you tell me there are millions of other sources. I ask for one and you come back with one of the same sources.
scottfreitas said, about 1 month ago

I don’t even CARE if you can find an occasional isolated example of Fox displaying some sort of GOP “bias.”

You lying lefties ignored my opening post, where i pointed out that ALL the other networks–not just some but ALL–go running straight to Jesse Jerkson every time a story is connected with “race”; go running straight to NOW feminists on every story involving women; go running straight to the ACLU for every story on religion; go running straight to rabid Darwinists for every story on Intelligent Design etc etc

“Four legs good two legs bad!!!!” is all we hear from everyone but Fox. Abortion is GOOD, homosexuality is GOOD, Israel is BAD, GOP is BAD, feminism is GOOD, Big Government is GOOD repeat ad infinitum. THAT is ABC CBS NBC CNN PBS MSNBC etc etc

So take your sore-loser Satanic blather about Fox being the ONLY news network which SHOULD NOT be listened to, by ANYONE, EVER, and shove it straight up your asses.

And now, back to Chris Wallace…
Anthony 2816 said, about 1 month ago

Dan, the source I linked to was the actual Fox broadcast (unless, again, you have the paranoid fear that MediaMatters would go to the trouble of hiring Fox’s anchor to make a phony video…if that’s true, I give up)

You feign shock that Fox’s presentation of a Republican press release as their own story wasn’t covered by AP. I don’t know whether or not it was, but would you honestly expect it to be? Catching Fox out on what everyone already knows is hardly the sort of story that would make AP headlines…but it is the sort of thing to be caught by those watching for it. Since Fox is right-wing, those people are likely to be from the left.

You, and others here, refused to address the issues, and instead just refused to look (even at the actual broadcast in the one example I honed in on). I guess that’s what it takes to be an apologist for Fox News.

Anthony 2816 said, about 1 month ago

I loved it when The Daily Show aired two Glenn Beck clips a few weeks ago. The first was from a couple of years ago in his pre-Fox days. Cameras were following him after an anal surgery, and he did nothing but whine and complain how horrible the American medical system was. The next clip showed him current-day on Fox, telling us how excellent the American medical system is, and why reform isn’t necessary.

What a loser. Willing to say whatever Fox pays him to say.
wminfield said, about 1 month ago

BCS….How did this turn to Glenn Beck. Beck is not news. He doesn’t claim to be news and he doesn’t represent the entire network. He is an entertainer and a commentator? There is no news source that is truly non biased because we are all human. Fox has flaws, but at least they do provide information that we wouldn’t see from the other media, and allow us to think about it and look for other angles of it.

Anthony…your sources aren’t news either. They are bloggers with an agenda.

I love how people don’t watch an O’Reilly or a Beck and see snipets of them mocked on liberal shows and suddenly know everything about them.

I am not defending Beck, but he is the best sitcom showing before prime time. Most of his dire predictions go out several years, so there is a lot of wiggle room there and the room to know that he won’t be around when they are proven true or false.
5639 said, about 1 month ago

All these networks are owned by the offshore bankers who also own the Federal Reserve Central Bank and who have us all by the balls in ways the average American can’t even imagine. Like for example the reason the income tax was instituted in 1913 the same year the Federal Reserve Central Bank cleverly came into existence was to pay interest to the Fed for money they print out of thin air. It’s worse than the mafia because it’s perceived to be legal even though it’s never been ratified by the states. F— the Fed and F— the Fed owned networks who are carefully controlled not to badmouth their dastardly owners or any of the causes they might disagree with like wars or bank bailouts or 9/11 truth.
Anthony 2816 said, about 1 month ago

wminfield, you’ve joined the sheep…avoided the issue.

Just because the actual Fox video of them reading off a Republican press release…typo included…as their own story is reproduced on the MediaMatters site in no way alters the fact that the video exists.

Why not comment on the facts, instead of keeping your head in the sand like Dan?
believecommonsense said, about 1 month ago

wminfield, you know what? you’re right. Bringing up Beck wasn’t relevant. But Anthony has been listing links to sites which prove bias and falsehoods and those defending Fox won’t look at them. Some organizations like media matters (and others) have monitored Fox News broadcasts and they present the distortions by showing the actual Fox News video clips along with the links to the original material before it was distorted. That is fact-checking,good journalism and proof. It is worth looking at and it is NOT just a blog.

i would appreciate it if you would review the post that follows this for what I found. I wasn’t even aware of the two examples included until I saw them today.
believecommonsense said, about 1 month ago

Here are two egregious examples of Fox News distorting their presentation of “news” to make Obama look bad.
(corrected link)
http://tinyurl.com/FoxTopTenDistortions

– Fox News reporter Wendell Goler reported a story with an edited clip of President Obama at a town hall meeting saying: “If you’re going to fix it, why not do a universal healthcare system like the European countries.” But Obama was actually paraphrasing a question from an audience member before explaining that he wanted to build on the system we now have without scrapping what people are accustomed to and already have. Fox edited the clip to make it appear Obama was advocating a European system. This deliberation distortion would earn a high school journalism student an “F”.

– Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum presented a clip of VP Joe Biden saying “the fundamentals of the economy are strong. and presented it as a comment made in March 2009 as part of a story casting doubt on Obama’s grip on the economy. In fact, the clip came from a 2008 campaign event before the election and, even worse, Biden was quoting Sen. John McCain’s statement in August one month before the meltdown.

Both of these examples show a deliberate intent to deceive viewers. That’s not what a professional news organization does folks! Yes, these came to me via Huff Post e-mail, but the Huff Post story has the video from Fox and links to the unedited videos and the transcripts. Huff Post gives 10 “worst” examples of Fox’s distortions and falsehoods..

Included in the 10 are the infamous “terrorist fist jab” remark from yet another dumb blonde anchor who was later removed from her anchor slot by Fox.

Remember the news producer that was reprimanded for putting up the words “Obama’s Baby Mama” under Michelle Obama’s photo during the campaign? That one isn’t even included. Remember the Fox news anchors reporting on Obama’s pitch during the all-star game and claimed it “went into the dirt” and they chose not to run the clip that showed the pitcher catching the low ball, which didn’t hit the dirt. That isn’t included either. (That’s one the really rankled me though.)

From trivial items like a pitch, to big items like misrepresenting Obama’s healthcare proposal, Fox News is routinely biased and unbalanced. I hope Fox stops doing it starting now. Fox can be a legitimate news organization, but it can’t skew and distort facts.
