Is fox news a credible news station?

**The messenger** · 07-08-2009, 10:39 PM

After being a abroad for about a year, I stumbled across Fox news. At first I thought it was actually a parody of Right wing conservatives but as I watched on I realised it wasn't.

It was often amusing, rather like a drama series...

When I cam home I realised I indeed have the channel!

Without meaning to offending any viewers I ask, "Do you think Fox News is a credible news station and why?"
Yikes! So many people talking about Obama? Huh? Do be honest your president didn't even come to mind!

Though they did seem to have a lot of hate for the 'left' and 'liberals' and 'democrats' and everybody who didn't believe what they did. News will always be biased but it must try to present news in a fair and balanced way.

They did not try at all!
I'm afraid I did not watch MSNBC or CNN. But if they are anything as biased toward one group of the political or religious spectrum I really don't want too.

I expect news stations to try their best to avoid bias and will watch as many as I can as well as read newspapers etc...

This was biased beyond a level I can stand! I always thought the BBC was too biased to watch! Little did I know there was worse.

I gave my honest opinion and I'm sorry if it offends you.

Are you specifically talking about their New's segment or the channel as a "whole"? Cable "New's" (Fox, CNN, MSNBC), particularly from 5 p.m. - 11 p.m., is largely made up up editorials / commentator's who I don't really define as "New's".

Fox New's does have a normal "New's" segment and it isn't really to bad (though it still does lean slightly to the right..not nearly as bad as the editorials / commentators).

No it's not! Any media source which does not support everything Obama does 100% of the time can't be!

Judging by their coverage of the recent election it is clear that they are very baised. They should be fine for everything apart from politics, though.

It's credible for heterosexuals. Homosexuals watch CNN and MSNBC.

No less so than MSNBC, CNN, or even NPR and BBC.

lets see... they reported Michael Jackson was dead.
Obama was elected.
New Orleans got flooded.
Obama is going on a world apology tour while gutting the countries' economy.
Yes, i would say it is a credible news source.
I used to be a left wing drone that almost voted for Jesse Jackson.
Can you get any further left?
I have since changed over to REAL UNBIASED news reporting: Fox News.

Perhaps you should try PMSNBC. It may be more to your liking as they speak with Obama's nuts in their mouths 24/7. LOL!

its credible for cavemen and other neanderthal types

More so than any other biased liberal station......And please don't pretend that you aren't trying to offend viewers...because that is exactly what you are trying to do...."it was often amusing, rather like a drama series..."....
