October 21, 200916 yr Where is Fox misleading? They reported on their treatment from the WHITE HOUSE after Fox had the audacity to make sure what the WH person was saying was the truth. The White House stopped providing guests to "Fox News Sunday" after host Chris Wallace fact-checked controversial assertions made by Tammy Duckworth, assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, in August. Dunn said fact-checking an administration official was "something I've never seen a Sunday show do." "She criticized 'Fox News Sunday' last week for fact-checking -- fact-checking -- an administration official," Wallace said Sunday. "They didn't say that our fact-checking was wrong. They just said that we had dared to fact-check." And for that matter, Obama supporter sides with FOX. Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said on CNN: "I don't always agree with the White House. And on this one here I would disagree." David Gergen, who has worked for Democratic and Republican presidents, said: "I totally agree with Donna Brazile." Gergen added that White House officials have "gotten themselves into a fight they don't necessarily want to be in. I don't think it's in their best interest." "The faster they can get this behind them, the more they can treat Fox like one other organization, the easier they can get back to governing, and then put some people out on Fox," Gergen said on CNN. "I mean, for goodness sakes, you know, you engage in the debate. I guess Brazile and Gergen and in essence CNN are purposely misleading too???? Two separate arguments going in this thread. This is the one I'm not interested in.
October 21, 200916 yr Two separate arguments going in this thread. This is the one I'm not interested in. Cool. You had listed Fox as purposely trying to mislead people in one of the posts above and I was just trying to figure out where Fox was doing that.
October 21, 200916 yr Cool. You had listed Fox as purposely trying to mislead people in one of the posts above and I was just trying to figure out where Fox was doing that. Fox clearly misleads people. See Beck and Hannity. I'm not talking about opinions. I'm talking about editing comments. Not adding full context. Being factually incorrect.
October 21, 200916 yr Fox clearly misleads people. See Beck and Hannity. I'm not talking about opinions. I'm talking about editing comments. Not adding full context. Being factually incorrect. I can't speak of Beck and Hannity because I can't stand to watch them. They are of the same mold, to me, as Mathews, Olberman and Muddow. Rush would be the same thing on the radio for me. The newscasts throughout the day with Megyn Kelley and Bill Hemmer seem to be on the up and up. I think there needs to be a CLEAR distinction between the news aspect of it being reported throughout the day and the SHOWS like Beck, Hannity, Olberman, Muddow, Mathews. All who come at the story with their view that is VERY one-sided. I think that is why I like Morning Joe. There are several views there.

Rush would be the same thing on the radio for me. . Beck and Hannity have been found to misrepresent or misunderstand claims. I do remember Maddow misrepresenting or misunderstanding (I'd assume it was the former) a point on race that Pat Buchanan made. Other than that, have there been times when KO or Matthews flat out lied or were 100% wrong on a stated fact?
