Faux “News” is NOT a “real” news organization — it is a political POOP-aganda machine.
In a 15-page memo from 1970, that had been in storage at the Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda that has now been released, it was revealed that Roger Ailes started planning Faux “News” while working for Nixon. As a top Republican party strategist, Ailes engineered the election of Nixon, and later Reagan and George H.W. Bush before officially leaving his Republican party political role and establishing Faux “News” with the stated intent, expressed in his 1970 memo, of creating a Republican POOP-aganda machine disguised as a news outlet.
There has never ever been a similar instance where a former top political strategist of a political party was the head of a television news department. (ABC had Diane Sawyer [a deputy press secretary for Nixon] and George Stephanopoulos [media spokesperson for Clinton], but neither was actual head of the news department, and the two — Republican and Democrat — balanced each other out.)
Well, the hairpiece IS coming out of the right end…Donnie has HIS head up there, just like Lumpy Hannity has HIS head up Trump’s Rump!! Basically, whatever comes out of Trump’s mouth has come from FAUX’s Colon, and whatever comes out of Hannity’s mouth has come directly from TRUMP’S Colon!
It appears the news media is biased one way or the other. It would be great and probably better for the country if journalists reported facts without any spin. Any news I need to hear is from The Golf Channel! LOL!!
Fox News gets away with constant lying because they are licensed as an entertainment company. This is their defense every time someone sues them for lying on air and it works. They have even publicly said they have the right to lie to their audience and unfortunately, the law supports their stand. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/sep/10/facebook-posts/facebook-post-claims-fox-admits-they-lie-have-righ/ ALSO: Other news services have had problems with the facts but they are working to improve journalistic integrity but not FOX where spreading lies and propaganda is actually their mission statement. https://www.mintpressnews.com/pants-on-fire-analysis-shows-60-of-fox-news-facts-are-really-lies/205563/

My friends and I call it “Faux Noise,” since there is zero “news” about it.

As long as there are dual goals rather then a common goal for this divided nation there will be no objective truth only two subjective opinions.

Fox “News” has done a number on the henhouse they were supposed to be watching.

My own definitions:
A mediocre reporter is biased but doesn’t realize it, and then reports what he/she sees as fact.
A good reporter realizes his/her bias and tries to overcome it.
A bad reporter knows that he/she is biased and revels in it.

^ Or, in other words, the Main Stream Media have a bias; Fox News has an agenda.
